The Internet of things (IoT) has everyone giddy. You can record shows with your phone that you forgot to set on your digital TV box before you left the house. You can unlock your house without a key or turn on your lights before you get home. You can turn on the heater remotely so it’s nice and toasty before you step in the door. Much more is to come; there’s buzz about the connected car, healthcare devices, and the endless possibilities. Analysts at IDC predict IoT spending will exceed $7.3 trillion by 2017. While all this is great for improving the consumer experience, a dark shadow lurks behind it all: concerns about privacy and security.
