Summary

In this chapter, we touched on the enormously large and complex world of applied cryptography, cryptographic modules, key management, cryptographic application in IoT protocols, and possible future looks into cryptographic enablement of distributed IoT trust in the form of blockchain technology.

Perhaps the most important message of this chapter is to take cryptography and its methods of implementation seriously. Many IoT devices and service companies simply do not come from a heritage of building secure cryptographic systems and it is unwise to consider a vendor's hyper-marketed claims that their "256 bit AES" is secure. There are just too many ways to thwart cryptography if not properly implemented.

In the next chapter, we will dive into ...

Julian F.

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
