Read the full articleIn-brief: A prominent Googler says the company is committed to keeping the Android operating system open source, but wouldn’t mind the security benefits that come with Apple’s closed iOS ecosystem, either!
Google’s Android operating system has provided a useful, if at times painful, lesson that the company is using to refine its approach to the Internet of Things, which will add tens- of billions of devices to the Internet before the end of the decade.
Speaking on a panel at the annual RSA Conference in San Francisco, Max Senges, a Program Manager for Google Research and Education said that the company’s open source Android mobile OS has helped underscore for the firm some of the problems that will challenge any IoT ecosystem player in the years ahead.
“We’re bringing the lessons we learned from Android to the Internet of Things,” he told the audience at the event on Monday, which was hosted by The Trusted Computing Group. Among the challenges Google has had to confront are creating an ecosystem that allows it to “verify its partners,” Senges noted.
