Tern Share Discussion Threads

mike33286,

FIDO have adopted Intel's Secure Device Onboard ("SDO") protocol.

Have a look at Richard Kerslake, Intel and DA webinar on 14 August 2019


I have copied the leader to the webinar below that explains why Intel were interested in DA's patented processes now embodied in KeyScaler that enables automatic processes which is key in securing IoT devices at scale.

"Want to realize faster IoT device onboarding with additional security capabilities such as credential management and data security?

Today, a manual process exists where device ownership is transferred, activated in the field, configured on the network, and registered with the device owner in an IoT management platform. This time-intensive and costly process is fraught with security holes, as exemplified by recent large-scale attacks in which device manufacturers have shipped default credentials that were co-opted for botnet-style DNS attacks.

Imagine you’re going to install 10,000 smart light bulbs in a factory. How much time should you schedule? Before they can start streaming data, you need to key in each device identity, coordinate network credentials with IT, and register each device with the operational technology (OT) smart building control platform. If you guessed 20 minutes per bulb, you’re about right. For 10,000 bulbs, you’d need almost two years!

You can imagine that if you have thousands and thousands of devices in larger projects this leads to quite some costs.

Once you’ve onboarded the devices, what next?
Do you need help managing credentials such as PKI certificates or default passwords?
Do you have the correct level of data security and privacy for your use case?
Are you leveraging automation without human intervention for IoT devices out in the wild?

With speakers from Intel and Device Authority, the discussion will include:
• Secure by Design: An approach to address IoT security challenges
• Ownership transfer, zero-touch onboarding and registering of devices (in seconds!)"

Another stooge!

Zero touch provisioning...Is there any other way..

Soon to be reality if FIDO get their way...

[stead41] 24/3/2021 19:05

Also. DA was never required if you built your IoT project with Azure in mind from the start. The Fido Alliance will simplify your build as securing any device to any platform with minimum effort is the standard they set. For free!

I’ve been looking at the Fido website and can’t find anything mentioning DA/Keyscaler, asides from them being a member, in any of their white papers, case studies etc.

Is that to be expected at this point?



DA are a member.. Fido Alliance set a standard and it is free to adopt by anyone. This standard does harm to DA as it aligns the Device manufacture and IoT platforms to allow easy, secure onboarding without the need for companies like DA.

DA did help tidy up the disorganised mess that was IoT and allow secure provisioning. Fido is tidying up the mess and it is free for all to adopt.

Thanks Still Waiting, I assume you are referring to the link that KKriss posted earlier and the one at the top of this thread? hxxps://www.nccoe.nist.gov/sites/default/files/08-2020-10%20Geoffrey%20Cooper%20--%20Learnings%20from%20SDO%20and%20FIDO%20IOT%20TWG%20%28NCCOE%20virtual%20workshop%29.pdf

On that link there is another link to the working IoT spec.

Would they not be mentioned in that spec?

Nice to see this excitement around DA. Don’t forget we have 4 other exciting companies all with disruptive technology. Wyld’s technology has been described as revolutionary. Lots to look forward to as these companies gain traction. FVR, Wyld and TM potential unicorns. Some SPAC management teams can only dream of having stakes in the Tern stable.

They’re part of the Fido iot working group.

Link is there if you want to look.

Zac is just a chartist, clearly with news target is anywhere depending on news content and who’s involved.

Stentorian, Thank you for your response. As it happens, I had not recalled your post on 21 March, there are so many posts here now I tend to hit the “latest” button and skip big chunks.

When I was researching why Sisto behaves the way he does, while I was running the TAG, I uncovered his many venture capital links. My own further recent research into Fido led me back to Nauta Capital via Nok Nok. You are correct to state that if Nauta had invested in Tern and any of the investees, these facts would have required registration and a declaration by Sisto. My search of the Nauta website reveals no such connection.

My own experience of dealing in this world, however, is that a large number of VC partners have private personal investments that they only have to share with the taxman or other shareholders in any company where the level of their holding requires them to raise a TR1. Since the amazing value destruction of Tern in June 2018 through issuing the speeding ticket, rather than a meaningful cash raise against a strong share price in order to implement the declared business plan. Declared to be at the time - acquiring 12 investees and increasing the newly acquired stake in FVR - I have been mystified by the way Sisto has acted. This worry increased when, rather than declare a public strategy to distribute a share of the wealth created by the first exit through a special shareholder dividend as, for example, TekCapital has done, he has started to talk about share buybacks. This is unheard of in the VC World!

I cannot say what his personal plan is, but had I had full blooded support for the TAG, we would have progressively found out. In the meantime, he has managed to issue over 100m shares without identifying who bought them and managed to avoid the requirement for anyone to declare a TR1.

These share placings have been at rock bottom prices in the main and he has continued to structure his shareholder Q&As in a way that precludes any meaningful cross-examination. He has kept the stock market value of Tern to as near basic NAV as possible and Offering shareholders a share buy-back, rather than a special dividend in order to retain the value created within the Company, apart from the Director’s exit bonuses of course. Against the foregoing, I at least, do not rule out an attempt to take the Company private.

If anyone can offer me an alternative explanation to the way this company is being run, I would welcome it.

I reproduce the following from the Nauta and Nok Nok websites.

Nafta Capital

We are a team of experienced investors, operators and strategists. With a growing team of 20+, we operate from three different investment hubs under a single thesis.

Has Zak Mir ever been correct about anything?

[sweepie2] 24/3/2021 18:31

18P on no news or with FIDO news, think 18p would be under playing it but beggars can't be choosers

[warriorz7] 24/3/2021 18:21

Anyway, looks like has gone to put another pound in the meter.

Catch you tomorrow for some more gains.

[still waiting] 24/3/2021 18:16

OMG

He really should know better then.

[sarcoline] 24/3/2021 18:12

Zak saying 18p short term.

[still waiting] 24/3/2021 18:10

It’s simple really, you buy where the trolls are the most frantic.

They provide some great gains, I thought everyone already knew this.

Some troll lost the plot completely when Tern went from 5p to 55p last time, can you imagine the margin call on that.

Yikes.

[warriorz7] 24/3/2021 18:06

Well if you are trying to bore us all to death your doing a better job than you are "tern-ing" people of the stock. Do you know you can copy and paste from your old avatars rather than typing the same stuff over and over? Or is your keyboard broken from such frantic typing.

Great stock pick by the way, any other sage advice? Sounds to me like somebody backed a bad horse one day and hasn't gotten over it. Tip from a mate was it?

If i were you i'd have a read of Shareprofits and you will be rolling in money before you know it. lolz

[dynoport] 24/3/2021 18:05

Not allowed in lockdown

[dynoport] 24/3/2021 17:50

That's not a recommendation
