That's kind of my point - it's inevitable that we will end up having to take the security of the AP enormously more seriously than we have. The AP will end up needing cellphone style updates and chain of trust integrity checks for the firmware.
The reason this is inevitable is the alternative hasn't worked. Cloud based IoT has been a disaster in both the atrocious edge device security and cloud service bait and switch burning customer confidence in the whole concept. Most people are not going to deploy dedicated servers in their house, but an AP absolutely. The HomeAssistant and Frigate ecosystems demonstrate the demand for functionality is there, but they are very much enthusiast type tools.
- toomuchtodo 2y agoStrongly agree, I just don't see evidence there is any appetite for spending the resources needed to accomplish this. I would very much like there to be, but, you know. No one likes to spend until the place is already on fire. If this is the fire ("never let a crisis go to waste"), we should try to spend what's required to do what is needed. (a component of my work is software supply chain security)

Yeah, that is the problem, and I gave up on waiting for it, so kicked off an exploration of the problem space https://github.com/atomirex/umbrella https://github.com/atomirex/umbrella (Hitting video handling first because it is one of the major headaches). I come from the intersection of embedded/mobile/games and saw what a dumpster fire that was, and am under no illusions this will be solved either fast or by any existing group.
