Vint Cerf: Universities need to start addressing security in the Internet of Things

Vint Cerf, one of the fathers of the Internet (the other one is not Al Gore), spoke about the Internet of Things.

The Security Ledger article, "Vint Cerf: CS Changes Needed to Address IoT Security, Privacy" stated:

Cerf, speaking in a public Google Hangout on Wednesday, said that he’s tremendously excited about the possibilities of an Internet of billions of connected objects, but said that securing the data stored on those devices and exchanged between them represents a challenge to the field of computer science – and one that the nation’s universities need to start addressing.

TerraSwarm is well situated to help here, our vision of the SwarmOS is to create a platform that is safe, secure,  privacy-preserving, open and universal that will unleash millions of swarm device and swarmlet developers, just as smart-phone platforms opened the door to millions of app developers.
