IoT devices are known to have security and privacy risks, but studying these risks in a real-world context has been challenging. In this talk, I’ll talk about our latest effort to develop a testbed of real-world IoT devices around the globe. Building upon our existing IoT Inspector platform, this testbed will consist of actual IoT devices on actual networks with actual human participants world-wide. I’ll describe a number of ongoing studies that involve this testbed, such as network measurement, supply chain security, and machine learning. I’ll also talk about our plan to build a research community for this testbed. Our vision is that any researchers, in security, privacy, ML, and beyond, will be able to conduct in-situ real-world experiments that also protect the privacy of the participants.
