Understanding the JC-STAR System
In recent years, the evolution of IoT technology has led to the widespread adoption of networked home appliances and residential equipment, significantly enhancing convenience in daily life. However, this progress has also brought to light risks such as unauthorized access, information leakage, and the use of inadequately secured devices as stepping stones for external attacks. To address these concerns, the Japanese government has established the “JC-STAR system” as a cybersecurity measure for consumer-oriented IoT products. This initiative aims to make the “minimum safety quality to be protected” in IoT products visible to consumers. The system is designed to create an environment where consumers can confidently select products, while also contributing to the overall improvement of IoT security standards across Japan.
Event Details and Objectives
The event focuses on enhancing the safety of “IoT home appliances and devices” used in smart home environments, where multiple devices are interconnected. It will feature an overview of the JC-STAR system, demonstrations of cyber attacks, and an exhibition of the latest certified products. Through clear explanations, the event aims to provide consumers with essential information for choosing safe and secure IoT products.
