Large-Scale Security Analysis of Real-World Backend Deployments Speaking IoT-Focused Protocols

arXiv:2405.09662v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Internet-of-Things devices, ranging from smart home assistants to health devices, are pervasive: Forecasts estimate their number to reach 29 billion by 2030. Understanding the security of their machine-to-machine communication is crucial. Prior work focused on identifying devices' vulnerabilities or proposed protocol-specific solutions. Instead, in this paper, we investigate the security of backends speaking Internet-of-Things (IoT) protocols at scale, that is, the backbone of the entire IoT ecosystem.
We focus on three real-world protocols …
