End-to-end security for IoT
IoT security is critically important because IoT devices and systems are increasingly becoming targets for cybercriminals. These devices often contain sensitive information and control critical infrastructure, making them attractive targets for attackers.
Azure IoT provides a comprehensive set of security features to ensure end-to-end security for IoT devices and solutions. The following are the key pieces of Azure IoT end-to-end security:
- Device identity: Azure IoT provides device authentication and authorization using X.509 certificates, symmetric keys, and other authentication mechanisms to ensure that only authorized devices can access the IoT solution.
- Data encryption: Azure IoT uses industry-standard encryption mechanisms to encrypt data in transit and at rest. This includes Transport Layer Security/Secure Sockets Layer (TLS/SSL).
- Encryption for communication between devices and the cloud, and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption...
