| Abstract: | There have been concerns regarding the security practices of the IoT devices, and it is currently unknown which devices within the IoT Lab effectively deploy TLS to provide connection security. This paper studies the network traffic of IoT devices within the lab with a main focus on the TLS handshake, to evaluate how effectively these devices make use of the TLS. Common vulnerabilities include the usage of old protocol versions, an outdated set of algorithms that help secure a network connection also known as cipher suites, and a lack of certificate validation. By analyzing the network traffic and the security practices deployed by the IoT devices, it is aimed to study if the results from a previous study with the name IoTLS are reproducible and how well the devices within the IoT Lab effectively utilize the TLS standard. |
