Securing Smart Irrigation Systems with Rust and Bytebeam
摘要
In the era where smart irrigation systems, traditional irrigation systems improved with the help of Internet of Things (IoT) are growing and getting mainstream, a major concern arises with respect to their security of the device or platform and privacy of users’ data. This system aims to tackle these issues by prioritizing security with help of Rust, a memory safe programming language which offers similar, if not same, performance as C or C++. Bytebeam is an IoT backend platform which is used to visualize the data, control, and manage the devices. It also provides authentication and authorization, so the confidentiality of data and security of devices is held without compromising usability. This drastically improved security, and made it easy for new farmers to adapt and secure their smart irrigation systems.
