Dear colleagues, Somebody drew my attention to an article by Vint Cerf and Francine Berman on the ethics of IoT, some of you might find it an interesting read as well. http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~bermaf/Berman+Cerf_IoT.pdf Following this, an interview with Berman was published on The Atlantic earlier this week https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2017/05/internet-of-things-et... As a reminder, we are still setup to have a BoF aiming to discuss some of this space as well, in particular the expected or desired role of the parties providing connectivity to these devices. This “IoT Security BoF” will take place after the main RIPE 74 program, on Tuesday May 9 at 18:00 in the Tutorial Room of the meeting venue. Unfortunately, due to this being a BoF and as this room only has a very limited technical setup there won’t be any remote participation offered. So hope to see many of you in the room in Budapest next week, Groet, MarcoH
