Cryptography controls for the IoT landscape

Cryptography is a crucial security control in the IoT landscape. It is the practice of protecting information by converting it into an unreadable format, using mathematical algorithms, and then converting it back to its original form by authorized individuals. Cryptography controls are used to safeguard IoT networks from unauthorized access, data theft, and cyberattacks.

One essential cryptography control is encryption. Encryption is the process of converting plain text into cipher text, which can only be deciphered using a key. Data encryption is crucial for IoT devices since data transmitted from these devices over the network can be intercepted by unauthorized individuals. End-to-end encryption ensures that the data is encrypted before it is transmitted and can only be decrypted by the intended recipient. Implementing encryption controls ensures that the data stored and transmitted in the IoT network is secure and can only be accessed...
