Atsign Technology for IoT Security & Simplicity

No Network Attack Surface
No Static IPs or Open Ports
No VPNs
No Firewalls
No Passwords
No Costly Security Budget

With Atsign Technology, every device is addressable through an atSign™, enabling end-to-end encrypted device communication.

Atsign Technology: Overview

IoT Security

As IoT (Internet of Things) devices become directly connected to the Internet via cellular, LoRaWAN, Wi-SUN, HaLOW, satellite, or Wi-Fi, better security, especially for the data they generate, becomes critically important. IoT security thinkers, including NIST IoT are working hard to solve this, but we believe that it requires a very different approach:

Instead of managing and protecting attack surfaces, we eliminate them.

Cryptographic keys are cut on the edge by the device
A major attack surface is eliminated by removing the need for open ports on external interfaces
Data is end-to-end encrypted, even when at rest
Device owners can control which subset of data is sent to whom

IoT Simplicity

Atsign technology provides radical simplification for OT and IoT. We strip things down to the protocol level, creating both zero trust and zero configuration environments – completely without passwords – eliminating all attack surfaces created by over-complexity, and simplifying the administration of devices in the process.

Eliminates the need for physical security devices

No firewalls required
No VPNs required
No open ports, including 22
Provides data routing hardware lockdown of encryption keys

Makes devices easier to add and administer

Fewer components required
No complex administrative tools needed

Allows for dynamic IP addresses

No longer need to assign static IPs
Greatly simplifies network administration

Open-Source IoT with Dart and Flutter: The KRYZ Security Solution

The Problem: Radio station KRYZ was hacked by someone who started playing their own music.

The Solution: A Flutter application using the Atsign SDK that provides both security and real-time monitoring for the station.

We encourage you to take a look at the full walkthrough to see this groundbreaking tech for yourself. Better yet, request a demo from the man himself, here: iot@atsign.com
