MADRID (EFE) .- The Internet of things, the phenomenon of connecting everything to everything, still facing complex technical deficiencies, some “very difficult” to solve, warned yesterday Vinton Cerf, who is considered one Parental Internet.
Vice President and responsible for exploring new uses of the Internet to Google, Cerf, whose work in the 1970s were key to interconnect the first computers, traveled to Spain to give a talk on “The Future of the Internet: challenges and opportunities” at the invitation of the Polytechnic University of Madrid

One of the most difficult problems to solve is a lack of standards Platforms interconnectivity, since they vary between devices, and that prevents communication to each other.
Cerf predicted that anything soon be connected to internet via sensors “to be very common in everywhere “: refrigerators, microwaves, thermostats and washing machines. Therefore communication platforms that enable large-scale machines and understood this challenge has not been exceeded
are needed. It is also a priority for the devices, which are multiplied by thousands or millions, can be easily handled. Ideally control different-from temperature and humidity sensors, music volume, control the blinds … – with a single command, probably the phone. And this single device should be easily programmable, almost automatically, to avoid making the user read “instructions and instructions with such apparatus.”
Security in the new interconnected world is another major challenge He admitted Cerf. Internet requires more resistant to cyberattacks systems and greater guarantees user authentication, you should only access the system if it is really who he claims to be.
