"S in IoT Stands for Security": the world's first law on the protection of smart gadgets was adopted - we understand what the essence
In California, accepted 3r3203. Law SB-327 on the security of IoT devices. It obliges smart system developers to create for them a unique login-password pair. The document has already been given for signature to the state governor. We talk about the opinion of the community and the impact of the new law on the development of the industry. 3r3182.

What is the essence of
3r3182.Document 3r3333. SB-327
, which is called "Information security: connected devices", developed 3r3203. California senators since last February. In this case, “connected devices” refers to all gadgets that have an internet connection, IP address or Bluetooth. 3r3182.
3r3182.
Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson (Hannah-Beth Jackson), who is the author of the bill,
says that such a law should have appeared a long time ago. According to her, ordinary consumers are rarely interested in the security issues of the gadgets they acquire, because developers are not in a hurry to fix security vulnerabilities. 3r3182.
3r3182.
Of particular importance is the problem in the case of children's toys. As an example, in additions to the bill, senators cite the situation with the My Friend Cayla dolls (3r3347. Senate Floor Analyzes document dated ??? number 3r?203.). They know how to communicate with children and forward the records to the manufacturer’s servers, for example, to analyze a question and find an answer to it. This creates a potential vulnerability for a child’s personal data. For this reason, in Germany in general, 3r3-349. banned the sale
such dolls. 3r3182.
3r3182.
The basic requirement of California law 3r3355. lies
in that every IoT device manufacturer will need to provide their gadgets with “appropriate security features”. The degree of protection depends on the function of the device and the information it uses and transmits. 3r3182.
3r3182.
The law does not say what is meant by “proper protection”, but the requirements for authentication mechanisms are spelled out. If a connected device has access to the Internet, then its authentication system must satisfy one of two criteria. The first is that the manufacturer creates unique combinations of username and password for each individual device. The second - the developer obliges the buyer to change the standard factory data to enter when you first use the equipment. 3r3182.
3r3182.
All companies that manufacture or sell IoT devices in California fall under the law. SB-327 will enter into force on January ? 2020. 3r3182.
3r3182.
Opinions on the law 3r3134. 3r3182.
New law met ambiguously. Some users and experts agreed that banning standard passwords at least a little, but will increase the security of IoT devices. However, the lack of other specific requirements for manufacturers confused the community. 3r3182.
3r3182.
3r3117. Cyber Security Specialists [/b] passed the law skeptically. One of the main critics was Robert Graham (Robert Graham), an expert on cybersecurity at Errata Security. Robert 3r379. Writes
that the wording about “remedies” is too vague, so it will be difficult for organizations to determine the criteria for meeting the requirements of the act. 3r3182.
3r3182.
Moreover, it is impossible to indicate in the law how to counter specific threats, because new types of attacks appear constantly. Graham believes that the ways to protect IoT cannot be defined in the legislation, and the SB-327 will only lead to an increase in the cost of producing smart devices. 3r3182.
3r3182.
The law is useless and on opinion Product Vice President Armis Joe Lee (Joe Lea). His company is creating a platform to protect IoT networks. According to Joe, the security of the Internet of Things is a complex industry that is not limited to password issues for devices. 3r3182.
3r3182.
A number of security experts supported the new bill. One of these people was Bo Woods (Beau Woods), a security specialist at the think-tank of the Atlantic Council. By its According to 3r3203. , vague wording in legislation is intentionally used. This will allow companies to develop their own device protection requirements. 3r3182.
3r3182.
Many experts believe that even an imperfect law is better than its absence. Author of books on cybersecurity and cryptographer Bruce Schneier
said That SB-327 is a step in the right direction, although this document is not enough to fully regulate IoT. 3r3182.
3r3182.
3r3151. “The law should help solve the problem of unauthorized access to devices. However, it is not a panacea, - commented the head of the department for development of infrastructure rental services in the cloud 3r3109. 1cloud.ru
Sergey Belkin. - Unique and strong passwords should make it difficult to hack smart gadgets using a trivial dictionary search. However, there are many other ways to gain access to the device, for example DNS reassignment . More than half a billion IoT devices worldwide are subject to this type of attack. ” [/i] 3r3114. 3r3182.
3r3117. Users [/b] in general, support the initiative of the government of California. Residents of Hacker News celebrate that manufacturers' passwords may be too predictable and coincide with the serial number. But this solution is better than the standard password for all devices of the same model. 3r3182.
3r3182.
Some users find the law meaningless. Slashdot commentator. pointed that, most often, problems with the security of IoT-devices are not solved by changing the password and are associated with vulnerabilities in the firmware and software modules. For example, in 201? the bug discovered in the gSOAP library, which is used by manufacturers of IoT devices. During the demonstration, security specialists hacked a home camera and got an image from it. 3r3182.
3r3182.
Who else is making laws for IoT
3r3182. Laws on the protection of the Internet of things works not only California. Over the past year, the United States Congress has made several projects on this topic. Among them are the Securing IoT Act of 2017 and the Internet of Things Cybersecurity Improvement Act of 201? which require federal agencies to develop standard security requirements for IoT devices. 3r3182.
3r3182.
Prior to this, the US government issued guidelines for manufacturers of smart devices, which collected recommendations on the protection of personal data of users. For example, such 3r3141. Document 3r3203. in 2015 published the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). 3r3182.

3r3182.
In Europe, too, there are similar documents, in particular, 3r3162. Directive 3r3203. Network Security and Information Systems (NIS Directive), adopted in July 2016. It does not concern the Internet of things directly, but it does establish requirements for the protection of companies' systems in critical areas: energy, finance, health care, and the transport industry. The document contains only a list of rules, and each EU state should independently determine the methods for their implementation. 3r3182.
3r3182.
IoT Device Protection Act developing and the australian government. According to politicians, they seek to create a balanced document that will protect consumers and will not limit innovation in the IoT. For this, the regulator conducts a dialogue with representatives of the industry. For now politicians are only discussing requirements for manufacturers of smart devices. 3r3182.
3r3182.
Thus, California law was the first to formulate general requirements for all manufacturers of IoT devices. And although it is not ideal, There is an opinion 3r3203. that the directive will become a guideline for other countries and will initiate active work on the security of smart gadgets. 3r3182.
