Intel, Arm To Help Create New IoT Standard For Device Onboarding

'Intel is working with rival Arm to create a new industry standard for
an important issue in the Internet of Things market: making sure that
devices are properly configured and connected to the cloud. From a
report:

The Santa Clara, Calif.-based chipmaker announced on Wednesday that
the company is a founding member of the new IoT Technical Working
Group within the FIDO Alliance, an industry consortium founded by
PayPal, Lenovo and others in 2012 to develop standards for
password-less authentication. The goal of FIDO's IoT Technical Working
Group, which will also include experts from Microsoft, Google and
Amazon, is to create a standard specification for "large-scale IoT
onboarding," the process in which devices are configured and connected
to IoT cloud management services at the time of installation. Lorie
Wigle, the executive in charge of Intel's platform security efforts,
told CRN that it is important to create a standard around IoT
onboarding because many companies currently face challenges with the
practice when it comes to handling large-scale deployments and
security. [...] Once FIDO develops the standard, market forces will
compel companies to adhere and participate, according to Wigle, who
said it will also increase device variety, lower costs and accelerate
deployments.'
