This document contains opinions gathered from enterprises engaging in
the IoT business as stated in the preceding version hereof, and also
examines the possibilities of new social problems in the IoT era.
Recognition of the importance of information security has grown in
step with the rising use of the Internet. Closer examination reveals
that the IoT era may see a new direct physical threat to users. For
instance, the situation at a smart house may lead it to judge that the
owner has only temporarily stepped out, causing it to unlock the front
door, which in turn makes it easier for thieves to enter. These kinds
of scenarios may occur without identity fraud, hacking, and other
means of compromising information security. Therefore, for the purpose
of this document, this issue shall be referred to as "IoT Safety" to
distinguish it from Information Security. We believe that it is
necessary to deepen our understanding of these new IoT-related threats
through discussion and ensure there are measures to address these
threats in the future. At the same time, we must also coordinate these
measures with the solutions to the problems described in the previous
version of this document.
