Internet of things security module

Abstract

An Internet of Things (IoT) security module that easily interfaces with an electronic device and performs security functions includes: at least one of an authentication function; an encryption and decryption function; a random number generation function; and a storage function. An IoT security hardware develops an interface to be easily attached to and detached from a general-purpose open board for building an IoT environment and makes security features easy to use on the general-purpose open board. The IoT security module includes an interface unit which interfaces with the electronic device and receives one of the security functions from the electronic device, where the security functions include authentication function, encryption and decryption function, random number generation function, and storage function; and an authentication unit which determines whether the ID and unique number of the electronic device input through the interface unit match the prestored ID and unique number.
