In a new age of integration of many different services and zero-trust networks, the IoT has to overcome hardware limitations and provide adequate security. Our goal is to provide methods and effective tools to help build a network that is both easy to use and secure. It is based on Pi Platform for Unified Secure Communications, Services and Web-Applications, providing a foundation for home/small/medium office hubs. IoT security is based on the zero-trust philosophy – all communications are encrypted, no unidentifiable device is accepted on the network, each device has to provide its passport with a description of its network behavior and better encryption key generation. This IoT solution also addresses potential configuration problems by allowing trusted third-party providers to remotely access and correctly configure home/small/medium office hubs as well as informing users about any potentially harmful behavior or external access to their equipment.
