A frequently denominated use case of Industrie 4.0 is plug-and-work. This use case not only requires the technical base to determine how and what information has to be exchanged during the startup of software and hardware components in the production environment, but also deals with very sensitive information which results in a high demand to secure these. In consequence, plug-and-work mechanisms...
A new application for a wireless packet-based serial data transmission using an EEPROM with an I2C and a NFC interface will be presented in this paper. Our system allows the secure exchange of a large amount of data compared to classical NFC appliances. A protocol handles the fragmentation, encryption, error handling, session handling and authentication. A brief description of the used ST M24SR64-Y...
The pervasive use of embedded computing systems in modern societies altogether with the industry trend towards consolidating workloads, openness and interconnectedness, have raised security, safety, and real-time concerns. Virtualization has been used as an enabler for safety and security, but research works have proven that it must be extended and improved with hardware-based security foundations...
In industrial plants, there is a mix of devices with different security features and capabilities. If there is a mix of devices with various degree of security levels, then this will create independent islands in a network with similar levels of security features. However, the industrial plant is interconnected for the purpose of reducing cost of monitoring with a centralized control center. Therefore,...
In this paper, we introduce a cross-layer, application-oriented communication protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). TSTP - Trustful Space-Time Protocol - integrates most services recurrently needed by WSN applications: Medium Access Control (MAC), spatial localization, geographic routing, time synchronization and security, and is tailored for geographical monitoring applications. By integrating...
In 2011 Ericsson and Cisco estimated 50 billion Internet connected devices by 2020, encouraged by this industry is developing application frameworks to scale the Internet of Things. This paper presents a survey of commercial frameworks and platforms designed for developing and running Internet of Things applications. The survey covers frameworks supported by big players in the software and electronics...
Cyber-physical systems (CPSs), due to their direct influence on the physical world, have to meet extended security and dependability requirements. This is particularly true for CPS that operate in close proximity to humans or that control resources that, when tampered with, put all our lives at stake. In this paper, we review the challenges and some early solutions that arise at the architectural...
The Field Device Integration (FDI) standard represents an industry-wide consensus on device integration for the process industry. Following the release of IEC 62769, first products have been released at Hannover Fair 2015. Backward-compatibility, interoperability between vendors, and vertical integration based on OPC UA ensure protection of investment and lower life-cycle costs already in today's...
