#News(IoTStack) [ via IoTForIndiaGroup ]
Security experts have filed a proposal with the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) that defines a secure framework for delivering firmware updates to Internet of Things (IoT) devices.
Proposed IETF draft could serve as a baseline
Titled “IoT Firmware Update Architecture,” their proposal — if approved — puts forward a series of ground rules that device makers could implement when designing the firmware update mechanism for their future devices.
The proposed rules are nothing out of the ordinary, and security experts have recommended and advocated for most of these measures for years.
Some hardware vendors are most likely already compliant with the requirements included in this IETF draft.
