When working with an existing IoT system that requires a higher level of security, one option is to integrate an off-the-shelf service and delegate to this layer. Alfonso Gonzalez will show how to integrate Amazon Greengrass into Nerves firmware in order to perform secure remote firmware updates using a well-known security standard.
