Abstract: The recent Mckinsey report on IoT projects 3 to 11 Trillion $ of IoT business by 2025. IoT is just the Internet sneaking everywhere. The current deployment of IoT is run over NAT converted logically to InterNAT of Things. The Hackers cannot wait to go after small fish to take down networks for money. 4G is deployed over NAT except with top notch ISPs like T-Mobile in the US using IPv6 and serving v4 customers with v4 as a service or due to simply lack of v4 address space such as in India with Reliance Jio deploying 4G with IPv6 and capturing 250 Million 4G users, basically demonstrating a great case of a greenfield scenario leapfrogging developing countries into use of IPv6 w/o even knowing it.
Blockchain is hailed to save the planet with its security. Again the usual hype hits the road as Blockchain is based on IPv4/NAT and the July 2018 hack of the keys got BiCoin stumbling from 20 K$ to 5K$. However people are not aware of these issues and keep speculating with BitCoin and even some have lost their keys as it’s the case for one who lost 75 M$. This Digital coin is not made for a layman.
This talk will restore some sanity in looking at the historical developments of these technologies and learn from past mistakes and mind boggling hypes.
