 The Internet of Things and Security with TINKERCAD

Informational Post       

    The meaning to IoT is really easy to understand, IoT stands for The Internet of Thing. You can say this is just another way to say that the internet is full of all things software, hardware, data, networking, and security. There has always been a cascading effect of the growth in popularity of digital devices and media and currently has had a very positive effect for those that are just leaning about this world. In these devices are sensors that gather all the data needed from wherever in the world it needs to be gathered from. Businesses, Governments, Cities, and Educators all use devices to better their knowledge with society and its current network security problems.

    IoT devices can include all things that can have a live connection with the main public or private network that runs. With all these devices connected to a public network you are bound to hit a road block with your security especially if you haven't considered the possible breaches that can occur. Making sure your site has the appropriate security is the most important things then just running the site. Imagine all that hard work and input you did and within seconds it is erased or taken by someone on the other side of the world and now has branded it as their own and now you have no backup to show that you were the original creator of this content. THAT WOULD SUCK!

    TINKERCAD was a program I used in school that would help me create security devices without using the actual device and wasting any equipment before actually testing the real device and connecting it in real time. If you have the mind of an engineer then this site would be awesome for you to start especially if you want to focus more on the coding and connection part of security.

BELOW ARE SOME PICTURES OF EXAMPLES I DID MYSELF ON THIS PROGRAM THIS WAS A DEMO PROJECT FOR A SENSOR TRAFFIC LIGHT SYSTEM.

    There are many different ways to manage and create a code in TINKERCAD, this will help you find a solution on the best form you find fit for you. There is the hard coding option with major coding and language you must understand in order to create that code yourself. Or there is the simple block coding version that basically creates the code section for you and you would just find the appropriate spot to input in your code.

    The TinkerCad program is basically what made me accomplish my Traffic Light Security and coding in real time. I started with a IoT Kit that was provided by my collage. Before i even considered using any of my live parts I used this program to see what would happen if wires were not connected correctly and make sure the code had no errors. Once this was tested I implemented it. Below are the pictures of my real time inventory of parts needed.
