🔐 Secure IoT with Flutter Biometrics — Introducing biometric_iot_bridge

IoT devices are everywhere — from smart locks and home automation to industrial equipment and healthcare systems. But securing these devices is still a major challenge. Passwords can be stolen, sessions can be hijacked, and traditional authentication often feels clunky.

That’s why I built biometric_iot_bridge, an open‑source Flutter package that connects biometric authentication with IoT device control via secure MQTT tokens.

🚀 How It Works

1. User verifies with fingerprint or Face ID

2. A cryptographic token is generated locally

3. Token is published securely via MQTT

4. IoT device executes the trusted action

This ensures only verified users can trigger IoT actions — reducing risk and improving trust.

✨ Key Features

• Fingerprint / Face ID verification

• Local token generation (privacy‑first)

• Secure MQTT signaling

• Cross‑platform: Android, iOS, Windows, macOS

• MIT License, free on pub.dev

💡 Use Cases
