RIOT powers the Internet of Things like Linux powers the Internet. RIOT is a free, open source operating system developed by a grassroots community gathering companies, academia, and hobbyists, distributed all around the world.
RIOT supports most low-power IoT devices and microcontroller architectures (32-bit, 16-bit, 8-bit). RIOT aims to implement all relevant open standards supporting an Internet of Things that is connected, secure, durable & privacy-friendly.
Back in my day, we used to call this an embedded operating system.

There is this modern world NEED to tag every fucking technology or IT “spin-off” with a buzzword or product name… lol
Risthel,
How else will the vulture capitalists in Silicon Ally know which flash-in-the-pan technology to fund without all of the weasel speak? You have to square the circle and pivot all your IOT machine learning into the block-chain cloud before Big Data finds out what you’re up to and banishes you to the full-stack Dark web! 😉
Cloud-based cryptocurrency webapps ? Anyway… https://devopedia.org/iot-operating-systems
Nowhere in that page is security mentioned.
Not once.
What does the “S” in IoT stand for?
Security
There’s no ‘S’ in ‘IoT’! Ooooooooooh. Right.
😉
However, the web page does say this about that
“RIOT aims to implement all relevant open standards supporting an Internet of Things that is connected, secure, durable & privacy-friendly.”
