ESP32 Security Features for Production-Grade Devices

Any internet-facing solution must be designed with “security-first” in mind; otherwise, it would be vulnerable to cyber-attacks. This especially applies to IoT products since they are usually introduced in batches to the market and delivered to end users who often don’t have a basic understanding of IoT security. When it comes to security, ESP32 provides a good level of hardware support for developers with its cryptography subsystem. ESP-IDF also integrates industry-standard encryption libraries and provides a good abstraction when a custom security solution is needed.

In this chapter, we will discuss the essentials of the ESP32 platform when developing production-grade IoT devices and see ...
