Hi Wolfgang, All,

Hi Carlos, All, live with the fact that there are many vendors that don’t care about security as long as it does not affect their revenue stream. In my opinon a solution would be handling the IoT (and other devices) potential security threads at the home gateway with a strict, user controlled access policy. That would at least reduce the possible effect. There are the SPIN project and other initiatives that try to adress the issue although I haven’t seen something completely convincing, yet ;) Best, (the other) Peter
