Carnegie Mellon University researchers have developed a product label for connected devices detailing key privacy and security risks. The goal is for purchasers to be able to see, at a glance, what a device does – or fails to do – before deciding whether or not to buy it. To make the labels easy to parse, the researchers have modelled them after nutrition packaging labels, which spell out metrics such as calories and saturated fat content. The researchers say consumers continue to have an increased appetite for discussing privacy and data security.”]
