21st Century Learning and Teaching

Selon gizmag, nos chères têtes blondes s’attendent aujourd’hui à ce que les jouets offerts puissent se connecter à Internet et être couplés à des appareils intelligents, leur permettant ainsi d’accéder aux dernières tendances technologiques en date, parfois même avant leurs parents. Toutefois, chers parents, bien que nous ne puissions que vous recommander de réfléchir à deux fois avant d’acheter à vos enfants un jouet connecté, soyez vous aussi vigilants car, comme vous pourrez le lire ci-dessous, les risques de sécurité ne concernent pas uniquement les gadgets pour enfants.

L’Internet des objets (IdO) devient rapidement partie intégrante de notre réalité car un plus grand nombre de nos objets du quotidien renferment maintenant de l’électronique, des logiciels, des capteurs ou sont capables de se connecter au réseau, leur permettant ainsi de recueillir et d’échanger des données. Combien de ces objets, pensez-vous alors, peuvent se transformer en vrais chevaux de Troie ? La guerre de Troie prit fin quand les Grecs firent preuve de malice pour entrer dans la ville de Troie, cachant des soldats dans un énorme cheval de bois. Les Grecs firent semblant d’embarquer sur leurs navires et de prendre le large tandis que les Troyens, peu méfiants, s’emparaient du cheval en signe de victoire, le faisant entrer dans la ville. Plus tard cette nuit-là, les Grecs sortirent tant bien que mal dudit cheval de bois et ouvrirent les portes de la ville au reste de l’armée grecque afin que cette dernière pénètre dans la ville et la détruise. Quels attaquants peuvent potentiellement surgir de vos cadeaux de Noël ?

The way Eugene Kaspersky sees it, there may soon come a day when you wake up and your coffeemaker refuses to brew anything – or worse, will only brew decaf – until you pay up on the ransomware that has infected it.

Kaspersky, CEO of Kaspersky Lab, told some of the company’s top partners at its annual North American Partner Conference here this weekend that he believes IoT stands not only for “Internet of Things,” but also for “Internet of Threats.” The emergence of IP and intelligence in an increasing number of previously disconnected devices will lead to new and novel attack vectors, the executive predicted.

“It’s not just the pleasures of this world, the benefits and the beauty, that we have to think about,” Kaspersky told partners. “We also have to think about the other side, the bad guys, as well.”

And while the coffee maker was a bit of a perhaps a tongue-in-cheek example, Kaspersky said he does see a variety of attack opportunities on devices that have heretofore not been connected to the network. The first one to be hit, he posited, will be right in our living rooms.

Internet of Things (IoT) is transforming family life through the wireless connection of devices in the home, such as smart meters and security systems, helping to save money and increase peace of mind.

The IoT report and highlights that approximately one in four people in Germany, Japan, the UK and the US already own a connected device such as a smart meter (28 percent), security system (23 percent), lighting system (23 percent), or health monitor (23 percent), underscoring the growing impact of wireless connectivity and the Internet of Things on the lives of consumers.

The research also indicates that the uptake of connected devices is set to grow rapidly over the coming years, with 89 percent of all respondents confirming that they would like all of their household devices to be seamlessly connected together in the future.

With industry momentum mounting around a low power Wi-Fi solution, Wi-Fi Alliance announced the Wi-Fi HaLow designation for products incorporating IEEE 802.11ah technology.

Wi-Fi HaLow operates in frequency bands below one gigahertz, offering longer range, lower power connectivity to Wi-Fi CERTIFIED products. Wi-Fi HaLow will enable a variety of new power-efficient use cases in the Smart Home, connected car, and digital healthcare, as well as industrial, retail, agriculture, and Smart City environments.

Wi-Fi HaLow extends Wi-Fi into the 900 MHz band, enabling the low power connectivity necessary for applications including sensor and wearables. Wi-Fi HaLow’s range is nearly twice that of today’s Wi-Fi, and will not only be capable of transmitting signals further, but also providing a more robust connection in challenging environments where the ability to more easily penetrate walls or other barriers is an important consideration.

Wi-Fi HaLow will broadly adopt existing Wi-Fi protocols and deliver many of the benefits that consumers have come to expect from Wi-Fi today, including multi-vendor interoperability, strong government-grade security, and easy setup.

Ihre tolle Smartwatch oder Spielerei könnte eine gewaltige Sicherheitslücke aufweisen ...

Früher lockte ein Weihnachtsbaum mit aufwändig verpackten Geschenken verführerisch Einbrecher an, von denen gerade in dieser Zeit des Jahres viele unterwegs waren. Heutzutage jedoch stecken unter dem bunten Geschenkpapier unter dem Baum technische Spielereien und mobile Geräte, die ein weitaus weniger offensichtliches und darüber hinaus kostspieligeres Risiko darstellen.

Technische Spielereien, Spiele mit WLAN, Wearables, Tablets, Smartphones, Fitness-Tracker, Smartwatches, Handys und sogar größere Geräte wie Laptops zählen voraussichtlich zu den beliebtesten Präsenten dieses Jahr zu Weihnachten.

Laut der britischen Spielzeughändlervereinigung sind in Großbritannien folgende 12 Spielzeuge die beliebtesten Weihnachtsgeschenke 2015; anfgeführt wird diese Liste von “Baby Toot-Toot Friends Busy Sounds Discovery House” des Herstellers Vtech. Sagt Ihnen Vtech etwas?

Laut gizmag erwarten die Kinder von heute, dass sich ihre Spielzeuge mit dem Internet verbinden, mit smarten Geräten koppeln und oftmals noch vor ihren Eltern an den neuesten Trends in der Technologie teilhaben lassen. Allerdings sollten Eltern aus gutem Grunde sich wohl überlegen, bevor sie ihren Kindern technische Spielereien kaufen; denn wie Sie weiter unten sehen werden, weisen diese Risiken nicht nur Kinderspielzeuge auf.
