Power Sources

1 answer

In the context of hardware security considerations in the IoT ecosystem, the relevant choices from your list would include:

  1. Network communications - Securing the communication channels between devices is crucial to prevent unauthorized access and data interception.

  2. Power Sources - The security of power sources is essential because compromised power supplies can lead to device failures or attacks, such as through voltage fluctuations or power loss.

Database storage and Rain are generally not considered direct hardware security considerations in the IoT context:

  • Database storage pertains more to data management and security rather than hardware security specifically, although secure coding and data protection are certainly important.
  • Rain is generally not a hardware security consideration unless it refers to environmental threats, which could be part of broader physical security measures but is not a direct hardware security concern.

Thus, the applicable hardware security considerations in the IoT ecosystem would be Network communications and Power Sources.
