Nice idea for a project.

I also agree about the importance of security in IoT, but I guess we are still in an early-stage and since we learn from our (or other's) mistakes, it might require some major IoT "problems", caused by lack of security, before more empasis is given at security.

Are you familiar with this concept of combining MQTT with blockchains (bitcoin)?

It looks very promising to me.

Here is a presentation explaining the approach, by Gregory Estrade:

Identity, Security and Privacy in the IoT era.

Great idea!

Sharing status and state changes (“at home”, “out” , “leaving”, “arrived”) online

I see a security issue there [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-2503cbad-7370-413b-b8eb-fd287b5ed8ce/contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16]

Looks like a very interesting challenge ...

The challenge will be sharing the data but keeping it secure, or maybe just make it a useless string of numbers that mean nothing to the observer.

The previous three challenges have shown that sharing the findings and tricks/tips has improved everyone and allowed the final result to be less stressful.

We all have strengths and weakness'es and assisting each other over these means everyone learns.

Good luck

Christoph, you make a good point about sharing results, yes this is a competition but the content we share with everyone is just as important as the Enchanted Objects themselves. As Christian mentioned in his email "the challengers who provide the most detailed, rich and copious content are most likely to succeed".
