Internet of Things: SECURITY & TOO MUCH CONVENIENCE!

After reading about the Internet of Things, I have a lot of concerns about security issues. Imagine grabbing a library book that has some sort of biometrics that read your vital signs to determine your identity and track you so the book can be traced as well. What if your financial information could be read? Who gets to access that information?

Are we not just endangering our lives by trying to make our lives more convenient? There needs to be a balance between digital convenience and human nature.

If objects can access my information by a simple touch, how much security do I have? What are the checks and balances here? Who determines the standards for these security protocols.

SECURITY HELP!!!
