The Internet of Things is an emerging topic of technical, social, and economic significance. Consumer products, durable goods, cars and trucks, industrial and utility components, sensors, and other everyday objects are being combined with Internet connectivity and powerful data analytic capabilities that promise to transform the way we work, live, and play. Projections for the impact of IoT on the Internet and economy are impressive, with some anticipating as many as 100 billion connected IoT devices and a global economic impact of more
than $11 trillion by 2025.
At the same time, however, the Internet of Things raises significant challenges that could stand in the way of realizing its potential benefits. News headlines about the hacking of Internet-connected devices, surveillance concerns, and privacy fears already have captured public attention. Technical challenges remain and new policy, legal and development challenges are emerging.

Encryption technologies allow Internet users to protect the confidentiality of their data and communications from unwanted observation and intrusion. Encryption is also a technical foundation for trust in the Internet. Encryption enables freedom of expression, commerce, privacy, user trust and helps protect users’ data from bad actors. For this reason, the Internet Society believes that encryption should be the norm for Internet traffic and data storage.
Sometimes, however, bad actors use encryption to hide their activities or hijack users’ data (e.g.through ransomware). Members of the law enforcement community have expressed concern about the negative impact encryption could have on their ability to protect citizens and enforce the law. It’s a classic case of technology being used for good and bad purposes.
Recognizing these concerns, we still believe that encryption should be the norm because without encryption Internet traffic is more vulnerable to attack from bad actors. Encryption is a technical solution that all Internet users (individuals, governments, businesses and other communities) can use to protect their communications and data. While law enforcement plays a central role in protecting citizens from harm and bringing criminals to justice, it is equally important to empower citizens to protect themselves. In any case, legal or technical measures to limit the use of encryption, no matter how well intentioned, would have an adverse effect on the security of online activities of law-abiding citizens. Bad actors will simply find alternate means to communicate beyond the reach of law enforcement
while innocent / average / every day users will be left vulnerable. In “Encryption”. An Internet Society Public Policy Briefing”
Privacy helps reinforce user trust of online services, yet online privacy is under constant pressure of being undermined. Promoting strong, technology-neutral data-privacy laws, privacy-by-design principles, and ethical data-collection and handling principles is a key approach to protecting and fostering online privacy.
