MIT creates energy-efficient chips for Internet of Things device encryption ZDNet

Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed processors capable of providing encryption to low-power devices. Beauty retailer Sephora followed customer technology trends to command the cosmetic industry worldwide. The Internet of Things (IoT), including embedded industrial sensors, smart lighting, and monitoring systems, can be invaluable for the enterprise. These devices tend to have minimal power demands, can operate on Low-Power Wide-Area Networks (LPWAN), and have entered the enterprise, industrial scene, and consumer realm rapidly over the past few years. However, when there is little power to draw upon, security can sometimes be an issue as there are no resources or means to implement traditional security solutions.
