Secure connection to IoT cloud server

As more and more IoT products are being connected to the internet, the security of these devices is becoming increasingly important. A security-focused approach should be taken when building IoT products to protect users’ privacy and block any malicious activity.

The four-part series in Section 1 explains the different security aspects of an IoT device communicating with a cloud server and details some of the standard methods for enhancing the security of the data exchanged between the IoT device and the cloud server.

The three-part series in Section 2 demonstrates a secure connection of an IoT device to a cloud server using our TM4C129 Microcontroller. This series also includes an overview of the Crypto Connected LaunchPad™ Development Kit and a tutorial on the different software components required to build an application that can securely connect to a cloud server.
