I took a grad course last semester where one of the groups analyzed a Nest cam and the other analyzed the Mother sensor device. Both were surprisingly quite secure, especially the Mother, which had security features all the way down the stack.

One of my professors worked on the key exchange protocol [0], used in Nest. When discussing that particular point, he was very complimentary of Google's security practices, especially when it comes to Nest. [0] https://blogs.ncl.ac.uk/security/2015/07/28/j-pake-built-int...

There's security features then assurance. Features without assurance of correctness are often bypassed. Im curious what was in those you talk about down the stack.
