Better Messaging Means Security Can Grow with IoT
The brake pedal in your car probably isn’t attached to the brakes. But don’t worry, the pedal knows how to tell the brakes that you’ve pressed it. And now there’s a new way to secure the messages they send each other.
New software from Real-Time Innovations, which supplies messaging software for embedded systems used in cars, factories and other settings, implements a recently approved specification called DDS Security. With it, critical behind-the-scenes communication among machines can be safer from hacking and still happen as fast as it needs to, according to David Barnett, RTI’s vice president of products. A preview release of RTI’s software, Connext DDS Secure, is available immediately.
