Will IoT Standards Finally Solve the Pain Points of Interoperability and Security?
I’ve long contended that until all things Internet of Things can get their security pains and interoperability challenges between IoT devices sorted, all the efforts at innovation are wasted and consumers are being short-changed.
We’ve seen in the news this week of the “Connected Home over IP” working group, a collaboration of Amazon, Apple, Google, and the Zigbee Alliance, but I’ve recently been even more interested to hear the recent announcement of OCF-over-Thread, a collaboration between two leading IoT standards bodies — Open Connectivity Foundation and The Thread Group and implemented by Cascoda. This is a huge collaboration for not only existing stalwarts but also hardware startups that are yet to be created.
The aim is to help ensure a secure and interoperable IoT for the future by simplifying highly secure, scalable, low-power IP-based IoT product development. I spoke to J. Clarke Stephens, Board Member and Technical Contributor of the Open Connectivity Foundation to found out more.
