Abstract
Protecting sensitive data in an internet-of-things (IoT) device. In one embodiment, a computing device includes network communications, a memory, and an electronic processor communicatively coupled to the memory and the network communications. The electronic processor is configured to receive a transaction setup request, determine, with the network communications, whether minimally required network environment attributes are available, prompt a user that sensitive data can be securely stored in the memory and to enter the sensitive data in response to determining that the minimally required network environment attributes are available, and prompt the user that the sensitive data cannot be securely stored in the memory in response to determining that the minimally required network environment attributes are not available.
