What is IoT? first proposed by Kevin Ashton in 1999
• The Internet of Things connects every day consumer objects and industrial equipment onto the network, enabling information gathering and management of these devices via software in order to increase efficiency, enable new services, or achieve other health, safety, or environmental benefits.
Kevin Ashton, a British technologist in 1999 was Executive Director at MIT’s Auto-ID Center, an RFID research consortium

By 2020 the Internet traffic will shift dramatically!
• Most of the IP traffic will originate from other than personal computers (PCs). Wi-Fi traffic will exceed wired traffic and Full HD video will generate more traffic than standard video.
• According to a report issued by Cisco, the number of connected devices (i.e. through IPv6 and evolution) will grow to some 50 billion devices by 2020. The internet traffic will get close to 44 Zettabytes (i.e. 10^21 bytes)!
• In the Football World Cup in Brazil (June 2014), the Video streaming and internet broadcasting have generated 4.3 Exabytes (i.e. 10^18 bytes) of IP traffic, which is 3X the monthly IP traffic typically generated by Brazil.

Making Things Smarter 6
It used to tell you the time
And how you are doing
It used to remind you of someone
close to your heart
Now it reminds you to take care
of your heart
They used to keep your feet warm
Now they help you keep you and your feet fit
They used to help you see clearly
Now they help you to see more
Now it tells you what to do
And exactly what you
doing

Cybersecurity must become priority to IoT! • Cybersecurity classifies two types of organizations:
1. Those that have been hit! (90 M attacks/Y) 2. Those that do not know it yet! (70% goes undetected)
• Cybercrime costing the global economy up to 575 B$ annually.
Prime picks of Cybersecurity attacks (1) A. 2013. Cybercriminals stole the credit-card info and personal data of
40 millions customers from Target, Home Depot, JPMorgan Chase.
B. 2014. Security researchers discovered fundamental vulnerability in the popular OpenSSL crypto SW library, Heartbleed
C. 2014. A massive data-destruction attack (to SecurID tokens, RSA certificates, production db, system passwds) sent Sony Pictures Entertainment back to using “pen and paper”!
D. 2014. A security company Proofpoint noticed that a security gateway was logging millions of malicious e-mails sent out by over 100,000 Linux devices, i.e.: Internet-connected consumer gadgets including routers, TVs, multimedia centers, and even a fridge!
Prime picks of Cybersecurity attacks (2)
E. 2015. Criminals accessed the data of more than 80 million customers of health insurance giant Anthem. The largest health care breach ever!
F. 2015. Two Hackers Remotely killed a Jeep Cheroke on the I-64 Highway
FCA, like practically all carmakers, is doing its best to turn the modern automobile into a smartphone! Uconnect, an Internet-connected computer feature in hundreds of thousands of cars, SUVs, and trucks, supports the vehicle’s entertainment and navigation, enables 4G phone calls, and gives Wi-Fi hot spot!!

Fostering the IoT’s ecosystem 29
Doing industry alliances
Best practices in Internet of Things’ privacy, security, and authentication
Establish interoperability standards for devices
Bringing complete IoT platform
Create platforms for IoT including: hardware, software, tools for application development and integration, big data and service on the cloud.
How can semiconductors assist in developing standards?
Barriers to IoT’s Adoption 31
Ease of use Security concerns
Regulation and compliance Standards
Ability to remotely manipulate physical
assets
Privacy violations & safety issues
Security concerns escalate up!
IoT implementations ruled by the governments
Examples:
• eCall connected car in Europe
• Rail safety act in the US
• Smart grid mandates around the world
Lack of standards
Business is hesitant to invest in connecting
assets
Some of the early success stories in IoT have benefited from
their ease of use
e.g.: NEST by Google
Vertical integration
Focus on few big funded pilot projects for vertical applications, such as healthcare,
smart home, smart cities, industry 4.0 Could be good to consider Private-Public-Partnership (PPP) as done for the 5G or FI
Removing the Barriers
Ecosystem
Gathering the full chain: semiconductor companies, OEM, security provider, service
provider, end to end integrator Should allow partnerships outside EU when it
makes sense.
Regulation
EU shall play a big role as an enabler or a show stopper!
Especially for Healthcare, Smart home and grid
Standardization
Need to move fast! Can help to protect some markets.
US approach is to do a pilot first then an industry consortium makes the standard.
Lowering the entry gap to access high tech! Startup and SME
• EPoSS • ST is among the founding fathers since 2005
• ECSEL JU • ST is part of the ECSEL JU Governing Board since the very start, on may 2014
• AIOTI ST is member of Alliance for Internet of Things Innovation (AIOTI), an EU H2020 Initiative.
33
Conclusions • The IoT has the potential to connect tens of billions of
objects to internet generating demand for sensors, microcontrollers, data connectivity and energy management.
• ST has all the ingredients for the IoT and is winning today in the first high volume markets that have emerged.
• In 10 years the internet technology will become invisible; completely integrated into our everyday lives in a way that is much less intrusive and with a truly human interface.
