TLS 1.3 is going to save us all, and other reasons why IoT is still insecure
SummaryAI, from the source post

This post highlights the growing threat of DDoS attacks originating from compromised IoT devices and identifies two key security challenges: unreliable software updates for IoT devices and the overhead associated with traditional TLS implementations. It proposes network-level filtering as a solution for update issues and advocates for TLS 1.3, elliptic curve cryptography, and secure protocols like MQTT/CoAP with DTLS to address TLS-related challenges in IoT, thereby extending Cloudflare's security focus to the burgeoning IoT landscape.
