Title: The Matter Standard–Raising the Bar for Smart Home Security & Privacy
Security has been a tremendous stumbling block for Smart Home products with consumers baffled by complex systems and worried about the security and privacy of their homes. The forthcoming Matter standard aims to solve all this with a single set of protocols and algorithms that are secure yet easy for users and device makers alike. Because these protocols and algorithms break new ground in IoT cybersecurity, they deserve extra attention and elucidation.This talk provides an overview of the standard and how it improves on the current state of the practice for IoT security & privacy. Opportunities abound for cybersecurity research that builds on or extends the Matter protocols.
