AES vs SSL/TLS: Encryption for the Internet of Things

摘要

The adoption of devices for the Internet of Things will depend very-much on their communication to the Internet being secure. There are many aspects to being able to secure connections between client devices and servers. The primary step is to properly encrypt the data stream so that it doesn't provide confidential data to someone who has been able to intercept the messages and to avoid a malicious user to impersonate either the client device or the server. This step is imperative. If you don't do this, and do it right, don't bother with anything else.
