Agreed! Securing stuff is NOT an easy problem--especially cost constrained, embedded goods. Having worked on multiple connected device projects now (including Square's first encrypted reader--but that was one of the more rigorous efforts I've seen), I'd say there's not much communication in our industry & everyone seems to roll their own security. It's disastrous & I'm not certain what the solution is. Only companies with obvious liability issues seem to bother with security consultants such as Matasano. The rest wing it with reference designs and code scraped from dubious places. So, when articles like this surface, I'm fascinated, but not surprised. BTW, this problem is only going to get worse with the IoT boom. I have nothing but respect for what you do, Thomas. I wish everyone I've worked with had access to your services. Could you maybe help TI wrap it all up into a hardware block in the next generation of MSP430s? :)
