1.3 Security
Smart Reader is a handheld IoT device, and the related security issues have been taken into
account accordingly.
Smart Reader is a locked-down, embedded Linux-based device. It connects to a WiFi network,
communicates via encrypted HTTPS channel, and continuously uploads data as it is recorded.
Smart Reader is not dependent on an uninterrupted stable Internet connection; it works
seamlessly offline with reduced capability (no new data sent to or received from the server) until
the connection becomes available again.
A security inspection was conducted for Smart Reader in May 2016 by a third party. Quote from
the final report:
As a summary, the security status of the Smart Reader is good since no significant security issues
were found.
The Smart Reader device was found quite secure in normal mode thus not being a threat to the
underlying network infrastructure. Using the device as attack tool against the client infrastructure
was not found feasible during testing.
