One of the biggest takeaways from my meeting with Joe was an analogy that he gave me for taking a more methodical approach to my project. This is what I will refer to as the "script analogy". The idea of this workflow is to identify an input for my project, the processes that I will use on that input to manipulate it towards my goals, and a standard output of my process. As with any script, there are multiple versions of this workflow to consider, with each of the three steps mentioned above being subject to change and be manipulated. The most important step of this framework is to compare the outputs of each process to identify variance, which will in turn give me a more precise perspective of the results.

Another important topic we discussed was the usefulness of frameworks for my work. It is likely that there are frameworks present for IoT devices that can be used to verify the compliance of these systems in terms of security. Of course, the big question here is whether there are frameworks. On that note, there is also a question of if I can even use any existing frameworks to my advantage. I will need to examine the validity of any frameworks I come across, as well as their sources. The biggest advantage of using frameworks is that it will cut down on the amount of work I have to do. For example, if I am required to build my own framework it would take up much more of my project time that could otherwise be directed towards testing and other research.
