Episode 55 – 3D Secure and the IoT – CardinalCommerce

The Internet of Things may be a hot topic but its security isn't hot at all. Up until recently, IoT device manufacturers and buyers haven't cared much about security, a disinterest that's led to over one hundred thousand surveillance cameras being hijacked by Mirai botnet malware. While cameras aren't making or accepting payments (yet) it's easy to imagine automobiles paying for tolls and fuel directly. If it's not my Roku box, maybe it's Alexa or Google Home that makes payments on my behalf over the IoT. The payments industry is working to get out in front of this potential trouble.

Securing those billions of IoT devices is going to require techniques deployed by the mobile industry, the card industry, and other sectors. Cryptographic hardware will be part of the solution.
