Résumé
The rapid uptake of consumer Internet of Things (IoT) devices poses significant challenges for protecting device security. This article identifies and analyses key issues that arise in regulating the security of consumer IoT devices, which entails balancing the advantages of regulation against potentially negative effects on technological innovation. The article introduces the early regulatory responses to securing IoT devices in the UK, Australia and the U.S. (California). Following this, it addresses three fundamental issues that arise in designing a regulatory regime: whether self-regulation is sufficient or if there is a case for mandated standards backed by legislation; whether broad principles-based regulation is sufficient or if there is a case for more detailed rules; and whether a consumer labelling or trustmark scheme may form part of a solution. Addressing each of these issues is essential if the overall objectives of shifting the onus of securing IoT devices from consumers to producers, and encouraging producers to adopt and apply the “security by design” principle, are to be achieved. Drawing on regulatory theory, and law and economics analysis, the article reaches tentative conclusions on the main elements of a regulatory regime, while acknowledging the complexities that arise in designing effective and responsive regulatory responses.
