I think Rust can help securing IoT devices.


The problem isn't (primarily) security. And in the cases where security is the concern, like electronic door locks, the problems usually come from sheer laziness; like giving every device the same unchangeable PIN, or sending things over the air in plaintext. Things that have nothing to do with the language.


Well, at least those who do implement security protocols correctly do not need to worry as much about random memory safety related exploit chains.
