The home and office-based internet is a quite cheap resource that is everything, but not reliable and trusted as it is possible conducting a cyber-attack from anywhere and anytime, so far. Also, the other sorts of the wireless web information transfer such as mobile and satellite girds are with suitable pricing, but yet without any kind of the stable security. The greatest vulnerability of the web communication is it uses the IP addresses to establish some way of the packets exchange and that sort of the parameters are very easily trackable and matter of being exposed by a third party. In other words, in order to make a communication between two or more devices it is needed to go deep into data science which might explain how digital contents are manageable on rest, in motion or within storage.
On the other hand, the Internet of Things (IoT) is a web-driven asset that literally overwhelmed the marketplace with some advantages, but also with a plenty of the defense challenges seeking the next generation information exchange solutions or better protection of the ongoing technological and technical systems, so far. The current IoT ecosystem has a couple of billions of consumers over the globe and the tendency is that number will go up as time goes on. In addition, the online world is still convenient for the asymmetric warfare high-tech operations, so the IoT systems also being the web-based ones will definitely need to look for a stronger security at least or at most that concept will as many others before be sent to the history. The idea to invoke a binary encryption into the entire story could sound as applying a heavy arterially gun on a little bird which equally well can be killed using a stone gun, so far. In a case of the IoT, even if the next step in its development and deployment could be making a shift from the web to GSM technologies, which are also a part of the cyber family, it is clear that nothing revolutionary new will be created and the technology will make only a new transformation causing everyone remaining in the magic cycle without any chance to get a road out.
The main advantage of the binary cryptosystems is they might be pretty inexpensive, but yet very functional which gives a space to the possible investors to provide some funds, grants and finances to those engineering projects as they could be resolved smoothly in the both – hardware and software fashion, so far. As a paradigm of the novel time, the IoT could be assured using such an approach which means the good security performances, as well as the good cost-effectiveness to those being the users of such products and services as the major remark with such projects could be their operability and optimization in a sense of the safety, security and potentially privacy that are the leading imperatives in the case of the IoT technology and its still quite well accessibility on the marketplace, as well as the entire communities, societies and international scales.
