LoRaWAN is a long-range wireless communications technology for low-powered devices such as sensors. It’s gaining popularity worldwide in smart city, industrial internet of things (IioT) and smart home projects. Even though the protocol uses built-in encryption, implementation errors are common, and they enable attacks that are hard to detect. Researchers from security consultancy firm IOActive highlight the type of mistakes commonly made by device manufacturers, network operators and users. To combat the issues, the researchers developed an open-source framework that can be used to audit such networks.”]
