IoT Data Integrity
from its origin

Ms. Johansson’s comments appeared in a report in The Post about how individuals’ faces, and celebrities’ faces in particular, are grafted onto pornographic videos and passed around the Web — sometimes to blackmail, sometimes just to humiliate. But deepfakes could also have applications in information warfare. A foreign adversary hoping to influence an election could plant a doctored clip of a politician committing a gaffe. Convincingly edited video could confuse military officers in the field. The ensuing uncertainty could also be exploited to undermine journalistic credibility; tomorrow’s deepfake may be today’s 'fake news.'"

Details of 18 near misses between the devices and aircraft in Britain's skies have emerged following major disruption at Heathrow and Gatwick in recent weeks.

In one incident on 22 July, the pilot of an Airbus A380 spotted a 'large commercial drone' pass along the right side of the aircraft at 3,400ft (1,036m).

The device - which came 'within approximately 20m' of the plane - was being flown in a way which was 'endangering other aircraft' and involved the highest risk of collision, the UK Airprox Board (UKAB) said."

Privacy and confidentiality is another area related to data integrity. Personal data, as well as any generated by an IoT device must be protected, regardless whether it is in-transit or at-rest. Organizations should encrypt their data to ensure it arrives unaltered, where it’s needed."
