IoT Armor: An IoT Secure-by-Default Educational Toolkit

随着联网物联网设备数量的持续增加，人们对其安全性的担忧也呈指数级增长。报告显示，到2023年，对这些设备的网络攻击可能导致估计每年1160亿美元的损失。为了解决这个问题，英国政府正在推出产品安全和电信基础设施法案，要求在英国销售的所有物联网设备都具有最低级别的安全。尽管政府采取了这些举措，但由于缺乏教育资源，这些安全原则的实施仍然存在严重空白。IoT Armor在教育工具包的帮助下解决了这一差距，该工具包使用使用可信平台模块(TPM)2.0定制的单板计算机(SBC)模块为IoT设备提供硬件信任根源。该工具包旨在提供简单的教程、示例代码和解释，以支持安全措施的合理实施，如安全引导、远程证明、设备篡改检测、安全通信和设备身份验证/验证。总体而言，该教育工具包的开发将有助于在整个人群中促进网络安全教育和技能，特别是在安全知识或资源有限的开发人员中，以提高物联网设备的整体安全性。

As the number of connected IoT devices continues to increase, concerns over their security have grown exponentially. Reports suggest that cyber-attacks on these devices could lead to an estimated loss of $116 billion per year by 2023. To tackle this issue, the UK government is introducing the Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure Bill, requiring a minimum level of security for all IoT devices sold in the UK. Despite the government's initiatives, there is still a significant void in the implementation of these security principles due to a lack of educational resources.IoT Armor addresses this gap with the help of an educational toolkit that provides hardware roots of trust for IoT devices using a Single-Board Computer (SBC) module tailored with a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0. The toolkit aims to provide simple tutorials, sample codes, and explanations to enable sound implementation of security measures, such as secure boot, remote attestation, device tamper detection, secure communication, and device authentication/verification. Overall, the development of this educational toolkit will help in promoting cybersecurity education and skills across the population, especially among developers with limited security knowledge or resources, to improve the overall security of IoT devices.
