My Week with the Herz P1 Smart Ring: A Review
With the rapid growth in the number of Web of Issues (IoT) units with wireless communication capabilities, and delicate data assortment capabilities, it is becoming more and more vital to make sure that these devices communicate securely with solely authorized units. A major requirement of this safe communication is to make sure that each the devices share a secret, which can be utilized for secure pairing and encrypted communication. Manually imparting this secret to those units turns into an unnecessary overhead, particularly when the device interaction is transient. In this work, we empirically investigate the potential of utilizing an out-of-band communication channel - vibration, generated by a customized smartRing - to share a secret with a compatible IoT device. By way of a user study with 12 contributors we present that in the most effective case we are able to trade 85.9% messages efficiently. Our approach demonstrates the opportunity of sharing messages precisely, rapidly, and securely as in comparison with a number of existing methods.
