The Federal Communications Commission has officially proposed a voluntary cybersecurity labeling program for the “things” in the Internet of Things (IoT).
FCC chair Jessica Rosenworcel on Thursday (August 10) released a notice of proposed rulmemaking (NPRM) seeking comment on how to institute such a program for smart devices that meet certain privacy and security standards, similar to the Energy Star program for devices, including cable equipment, that meet efficient energy-use standards.
