Indian certifying authority for digital signature certificates, eMudhra, today announced the launch of an IoT security solution for smart cities, emSecure, which is designed to be deployed on any IoT platform that supports trusted platform modules to prevent communication between devices being hit by "man in the middle attacks".
Connected devices or smart devices are increasingly networked, making critical systems more vulnerable to cyber-attacks, which could result in compromise of sensitive data and controls. The IoT security platform aims to address this risk.
According to, V Srinivasan, chairman, eMudhra, “The usage of connected and smarter devices to augment our lives on a daily basis has proliferated extensively over the last few years. IoT is helping cities evolve in a smarter way, leading to smarter buildings, self-driving cars and much more. However, with a rise in the connected devices ecosystem, privacy and security cannot be compromised.'
Using industry standard communication protocols, emSecure powers provisioning, deployment and management of identity for users and embedded devices in a secure manner using cryptography. More importantly, it does so in a manner that is easy to deploy and easy to use with a wide scope for integration with devices of all types.
emSecure is compatible with LoRA devices to enable long range connectivity and improve the network reach for more efficient and cost effective smart city networks. In short emSecure enables IoT Security at a large scale with reliable encryption helping build trust across customers, users, and smart city networks.
