Guess what? Security is still a major concern for readers. That's the outcome of 130 stories and blogs published about Internet of Things on EE Times in 2013. About one every other work day. Fifty of those stories got more than 2,000 views each, the top 20 got at least 5,000, and the top 10 were each viewed 10,000 times or more. Interesting.

But even more interesting, the most viewed IoT story of the year from EE Times revealed that readers are curious primarily about insecurity. Mohit Arora, a security architect at Freescale, posted an article with the provocative title How Secure Is AES Against Brute Force Attacks? This article was read 29,589 times!

In this article, Mohit explains what means Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and why it is a pretty secure standard despite some of the inherent flaws. Do we need 256-bit AES encryption or 128-bit AES is enough and why?

It's educational and quite easy to understand even for non experts.
