the architectural firm is now set to develop a green roof top and powerless to improve quality in the french capital you're watching news from berlin next technology into focus shift living in the digital age there's more from us at the top of the hour don't forget you can get all the latest news and information around the clock on our web site that's dot com thanks for trying. i know nothing. nothing with. german culture. because it's all that. time rachel join me anything. else. here the. place to talk about. coverage.

we have. let's have a look at some of the other around the still shaking in that group good grief. so you don't want to. go. to w. . fridges that no was at the door talking glasses and robots that mow the lawn on their own smart devices are meant to make our lives easier but they also gathering all private data the internet of things the smart but how secure is it i want topics today on shift. i old see all the internet all things is a network of devices that can communicate by a built in mini computer. for example has integrated senses that monitor and

regulate room temperature that can save heating costs of vacuum cleaners that operate independently can save us. time boys assistance always haven't opened it for us and can even tell other devices what we want by the way what do you think alexa is used most for they've limp head of amazon hardware has some interesting news customers ask echo over a 1000000000 times a year. this alexa what time is it. talking clock. the internet of things has a lot more to offer from time sensors that measure quality. that works to surveillance systems for industrial plants a recent study expects that over 50000000000 devices will be connected by 2022 a professor from the visited specializes in the internet of things.
8:18 am
professor. has been studying. the internet of things for over 10 years and. he's fascinated by the idea of making everyday objects smart. consider the light bulb and you can control it with a switch on the wall or you could use your phone. you might want to add features like making a light flash when a storm warning is issued. but then your light needs to be able to receive that information from the web it's not stored locally. so your light has to be able to communicate with the cloud. industry promises smart devices to make life easier like with autonomy's lawnmower . cleaners that run on their own and heaters that automatically adjust the room temperature as soon as everyone is left the house. a

smart bridge that monitors which groceries are running out can be very inconvenient imagine being out of butter and then the doorbell rings with a fresh delivery of more butter but this also lets companies analyze which products you consume. the data collected in transmitted is mostly invisible to ordinary users the same goes for the software built into their devices. says to the data collected and in the worst case who can remotely control the smart devices these are the largest concerns has with this new technology. right now the biggest challenge the internet of things faces is security and privacy imagine someone with access to your stove they could cause it to overheat and maybe even start a fire in your home. or someone with control over a power plant could cut the power to an entire city.
8:20 am
the possibilities and lists but the risks involved in not to be taken lightly users should think twice about how much small technology they want in their homes families is not too worried they enjoy the convenience and futuristic this network provides or would like to see even more technology online at home. i want my house to be able to tell when i get out of bed when i come downstairs i want my favorite radio station to start playing their favorite coffee to be brewing out of it's cold outside my car to automatically start heating up and it. can already remotely control who has access to his home he has a smart door his children don't need a key to get in they simply scan their fingerprints. i can see if my kids are home from this camera has facial recognition.

default my privacy being the default setting people who don't mind their actions being recorded to improve their experience can still change their settings where they use a smart technology at home should really know what they're dealing with security expert martin shuttle believes small technology requires smart handling the money fan thought if you're responsible for a household full of smart devices then you've basically become a system administrator like the ones that many choose data centers for via acknowledge that means you need to treat your home like one catalog in the devices you are installing security patches checking for software updates changing passwords and perhaps even setting up protocols like to make sure there were no hacking attempts to inflation and clings for who got a good point security analysts say the number of cyber attacks on iraqi devices is on the rise in the 1st half of 29000 there were more than 2 point $9000000000.00

hacking attempts as 3 times more than last year one hakka showed us how simple hacking and be. just do your floors. spy on you. 3 hackers have commandeered the device gaining access was pretty straightforward. by this manufacture i connected through one data cloud controller that's made it. a slight change the source code was all it took to access the controls in camera. the vacuum cleaner receives 6 commands through a built in microcontroller connected to the internet. security gaps make the entire network devices vulnerable. i can start to do commerce with it and then i can look which devices there is in my network to move to does devices and move on so it's like it's

a related. but there is no limit the problem is just one device can compromise the entire system no matter if it's a home or industrial network as soon as get into one device they have access to all other unsecured devices on the network and they can reprogram those devices to launch new attacks that makes it all the more important to understand the technology behind the internet of things but recommends open source solutions they don't rely on just one manufacturer for security or data protection idea with bold names riot. but riot is meant to become the new global operating system for the internet of things we provide the apps users need for that. if you're interested in the internet of things and want to make your devices smart then it's important to use open source solutions that aren't bound to a specific manufacturer. and always be aware of which apps you're using on and
8:26 am
what private data they require. one possible solution is the operating system ryan developed a 3 year appeal in universities the right source code is openly accessible so anyone can check it and modify it to their own needs but that won't let users program their own devices yet they need other apps to do that. yes delish wants to offer these apps on graph store and app store for the internet of things currently it's still being tested but in the future it will let users download all kinds of apps for their smart devices so they can individually tailor their devices features. for the internet of things operates across a lot of different devices so it's not easy to make sure the software always runs smoothly there's not just 3 or 4 platforms to consider but there's thousands
8:27 am
ideally you want your software to run on all of them. using. riot focuses on small processors with low storage capacity in performance and minimal mostly battery powered energy consumption there's 2 reasons why much yes delish prefers these kinds of applications. that well 1st of all every object requires a visible space that you might not always have. secondly each additional component costs extra when you manufacture small scale devices you can't use too much space and you need to be cost effective and. the industry is also very interested in open source io t. technology one car manufacturer is currently testing digital keys that run with the riot operating system smarts and say. one main software that keeps my network safe and make sure my o.t.
8:28 am
devices work together smoothly that's how i would want my smart home to be a reality is a big deal. friend manufacturers are reluctant to hand over their software and aside from that i think i owe g.d. vices should offer more than just convenience they should promote sustainability a smart thermostat that have save energy great feed of a mad dog no thanks otherwise the end of things becomes the internet of jack what's your opinion how smart do you want your data data be join the discussion for example shia buy and seal their room.
