IoT Devices Are Facing a Root Certificate Doom

Security researcher Scott Helme says some root certificates are set to expire, leaving people with crippled smart devices. He says the problem was demonstrated on 30 May at 10:48:38 GMT, when the certificates used in Roku devices expired. Helme also warns that the next devices in line are smart TVs, which have long lifespans, but that’s only a band-aid until 2028. It’s conceivable that some smart devices will remain in operation for many years, but the certificates will expire at some point, leaving them with only basic functions.”]
