Cover Story: This paper proposes a secure IoT device design that combats internal threats by verifying firmware authenticity to ensure accurate data reporting. Unlike traditional IoT–blockchain devices, it uses a multiprocessor architecture in which one processor periodically extracts and checks firmware against expected signatures. This ensures that only trusted firmware runs on devices monitoring critical data. This approach has minimal impact on code size, power, or performance, offering a hardware-based alternative to lightweight blockchain for enhancing security in the era of edge AI-enabled IoT applications.
