Hors Série MCD : Internet des objets / Internet of things

Bilingue français-anglais. (English summary below) Nous sommes tous des objets (plus ou moins) intelligents. Vous ne rêvez pas : nous baignons déjà dans l’Internet des objets sans même en avoir conscience. Les animaux pucés, les produits de consommation tracés, les passeports biométriques et les outils de géolocalisation dessinent un monde où virtuel et réel sont déjà totalement imbriqués. Si le marché et les institutions ont su très vite investir l’informatique ubiquitaire, ils ne sont pas les seuls : artistes, théoriciens des médias et activistes sont là qui imaginent un autre Internet des objets.

ITU Internet Reports 2005: The Internet of Things is the seventh in the series of "ITU Internet Reports" originally launched in 1997 by the International Telecommunication Union.

ITU Internet Reports 2005: The Internet of Things

For previous titles in the series see ITU Internet Reports 2004: The Portable Internet , ITU Internet Reports 2003: Birth of Broadband, and ITU Internet Reports 2002: Internet for a Mobile Generation. Written by a team of analysts from the Strategy and Policy Unit (SPU) of the ITU, the report takes a look at the next step in "always on" communications, in which new technologies like RFID and smart computing promise a world of networked and interconnected devices that provide relevant content and information whatever the location of the user.

Everything from tires to toothbrushes will be in communications range, heralding the dawn of a new era, one in which today’s Internet (of data and people) gives way to tomorrow’s Internet of Things.

The Internet of Things Is Wildly Insecure — And Often Unpatchable. Illustration: alengo/Getty Images We’re at a crisis point now with regard to the security of embedded systems, where computing is embedded into the hardware itself — as with the Internet of Things.

The Internet of Things Is Wildly Insecure — And Often Unpatchable

These embedded computers are riddled with vulnerabilities, and there’s no good way to patch them. It’s not unlike what happened in the mid-1990s, when the insecurity of personal computers was reaching crisis levels. Software and operating systems were riddled with security vulnerabilities, and there was no good way to patch them. Companies were trying to keep vulnerabilities secret, and not releasing security updates quickly. But this time the problem is much worse, because the world is different: All of these devices are connected to the Internet. If we don’t solve this soon, we’re in for a security disaster as hackers figure out that it’s easier to hack routers than computers.

To understand the problem, you need to understand the embedded systems market. Hackers are starting to notice.
