IPSO Alliance Publishes Smart Objects Guideline – Starter Pack 1.0

Colorado Springs, CO – September 30, 2014—The Internet Protocol for Smart Objects (IPSO) Alliance has published its Smart Objects Guideline – Starter Pack 1.0.  The Smart Objects Starter Pack (SOSP) 1.0 provides a basis for interoperability across devices connected to the IoT through an open common object model. This open standards based data design is crucial for the wide scale deployment and success of IoT and Machine to Machine (M2M) applications.

In its role as the leader in the use of Internet … Read More → "IPSO Alliance Publishes Smart Objects Guideline – Starter Pack 1.0"

HCC Embedded Encryption Manager Improves Embedded Data Security and Reliability in the Internet of Things

Santa Clara, Calif. – Oct. 1, 2014 – HCC Embedded has released a new Embedded Encryption ManagerTM that allows developers to secure IoT systems using multiple encryption or hash algorithms through a uniform interface. Using a well-defined interface shortens development time as developers can now simply drop-in the Manager and encrypt data stored on flash or transmitted across a network. Such security is necessary to block potential hackers looking for a backdoor into the microcontroller-based system.

Developed using a formal process, HCC Embedded Encryption Manager undergoes verification to ensure stability and … Read More → "HCC Embedded Encryption Manager Improves Embedded Data Security and Reliability in the Internet of Things"
