Just recorded a new video: Provisioning ESP32 devices for mutual TLS authentication for MQTT using own PKI https://youtu.be/7qTT9EPCdCw #IoT #mTLS #MQTT #security #PKI #DIY #eclipse
Made a "how-to" video on how to use self-created CA to secure Node-RED installation with mutual TLS authentication in 12 minutes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRCpXEj236s&feature=youtu.be #IoT #nodered #tls #mtls #security

Jupiter quite visible today, just next to the moon where I live. Feels alien to see it like this..

Checking an AWS IoT pricing calculator, running a 10K IoT fleet costs $1.8K per year. This is not insignificant. Link to the calculator: https://d1.awsstatic.com/IoT/assets/AWS_IoT_Core_Pricing_Calculator.fcc37410fa03431c28b59d8509f1b4e370c88402.xlsx

Secured my #Node-RED with mutual TLS authentication through my own CA and self-generated certificates; I have to present a client certificate in order to be allowed to use Node-RED.

My dog meets Google's AR tiger in the garden.. try it yourself, google for "tiger" on your phone, then "view in 3D"->"view in your space"
I need a node.js guru volunteer to work with me on creating basic PKI PoC that provisions #ESP32 devices with client certificates; node-forge looks right for the purpose. I have the complete solution architecture figured, just need a node.js guru that can code it for free 🙂 Couple volunteers already, thanks @eliofilipe and @MrQinEL ;…
I now load x.509 certificates to dedicated ESP32 partitions rather embedding into the code via COMPONENT_EMBED_TXTFILES; This helps decouple the code from provisioning the device with CA and client certificate+key; Still working on PKI to provision the certificates at flash time
Saw someone drop his wallet while entering a shop (pretty full with cash btw) and ran up to him to return it. Feels good to help, I have been in a position where I've lost wallet with IDs, credit cards and know what it means..

Sharing some thoughts on using mTLS (mutual TLS authentication) to secure IoT solutions in a blog post: https://harizanov.com/2019/06/using-mtls-to-secure-iot-solutions/

Notes on securing IoT devices with mutual TLS (mTLS) – what it adds over one-way SSL and how I apply it in my own projects.
Counted 30 active IoT devices at home, 90% of them created by me. What's your count?

This is pretty interesting: Run a C Language Interpreter on Your ESP32 https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/5061494/Run-a-C-Language-Interpreter-on-Your-ESP32

Implemented #MQTT certificate based mutual authentication for my home automation with access policies for publish/subscribe, much like Amazon AWS #IoT, only #DIY . It is now much more secure #esp32 #mosca Added certificate revocation list functionality. Took extra effort to make it work without MQTT broker restart. Next is profivioning API for the nodes
@EspressifSystem I'd love to get my hands on the #ESP32-S2 , count me in for a tester https://www.espressif.com/en/news/espressif-announces-%E2%80%A8esp32-s2-secure-wi-fi-mcu

A short video blog post of my DIY sliding door #Iot opener https://harizanov.com/2019/05/iot-sliding-door-opener/ https://youtu.be/BPzyOmaaLY0 #esp8266 #DIY #MQTT #smarthome #homeautomation

My Beninca BULL 5M sliding gate is now on the IoT – ESP8266 + MQTT lets me open, close and check the gate state from my phone.

The Dunning-Kruger effect is a real thing, I get a reminder every now and then
Demo of pairing a remote wireless sensor, RFM69 based, with main control hub https://youtu.be/r7twp9cV2z4 #IoT #ESP32 #rfm69 #homeautomation

Installed a self-made esp8266 gate controller with magnetic switch status sensor, I can now open/close/read the statate of the gate from anywhere. #IoT #esp8266

Forgot to add pull-ups on I2C lines, retrofitted resistors save the day

Wrote a 2.4GHz vs 433MHz range tester: sending espnow 2.4GHz and RFM69 @ 433MHz from master to a slave node. 433MHz range is much better from what I can see but I am comparing apples to pears here..

New post: Human-Machine Interface (HMI) modeling and implementation using event-driven finite-state machines https://wp.me/pawL3e-1i8

Modeling touch HMIs as event-driven finite-state machines instead of coding prototypes by hand – my approach to GUI behavior design.
New post: Experimenting with a 3.5″ TFT https://wp.me/pawL3e-1hq

Testing the TFT32 ESP32 project on a 3.5″ ILI9488 480×320 resistive touch TFT – mostly a matter of adapting the display drivers.
Testing ILI9488 3.5" TFT clocked @ 40Mhz in 4 wire SPI mode with DMA, looks pretty responsive. #LittlevGL #ESP32 https://youtu.be/HVVAo9QdOfM

It lives! #esp32 + 480*320 ILI9488 #TFT with touch + #LORA (not yet populated on the PCB) + RTC + piezo buzzer

Hand soldering 40 pin 0.5mm pitch FPC isn't my favorite thing to do, but here it is
