I have been working on some ideas about using Tor to improve the state of inter-connectivity, authentication, confidentiality of so-called "Internet of Things" devices. The link below is to a rough draft of a presentation I gave yesterday to start hashing out these ideas in a more public way. It also includes instructions on how, using Orbot and any Android device with a camera, you can build your very own private hidden service-based "OnionCam" setup. It works surprisingly well.
