SECURITY SHOULD NOT BE AN AFTERTHOUGHT

摘要

Security threats are multidimensional and because of that system developers should incorporate all dimensions equally from the start of the project. Security should not be an afterthought. A weak-spot in any of the dimensions results in compromised security of the whole application.Each component of a secure design has a level of complexity and risk - the vulnerability level. The key is critical when it comes to sensitive information in a connected design, because the key authorises the fundamental transactions. If the key is accessed and controlled by a malicious user, they can impersonate the connected product and control the transactions with the Cloud service it communicates with.Therefore, protecting the keys is the highest priority when architecting a secure solution.
