IoT applications can affect physical devices. Verify relationships between mobile accounts, device registrations and command authority.
Evaluation approach
Separate pairing, command execution and ownership transfer. Being on the same local network is not control authority. Manage keys and pairing records throughout their lifecycle.
Application example
When a used device changes owner, remove the previous owner's sessions and device rights. Even a trusted old application must no longer control it.
Limits and considerations
Phone integrity does not establish firmware or connected-device security. Physical access, firmware and cloud services remain separate surfaces.
Checks and decisions
- Design ownership transfer
- Bind commands to user and device
- Test revocation end to end
Assess mobile, cloud and physical-device boundaries separately.
