Overview of this book

Securing connected industries and autonomous systems is of primary concern to the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) community. Unlike cybersecurity, cyber-physical security directly ties to system reliability as well as human and environmental safety. This hands-on guide begins by establishing the foundational concepts of IIoT security with the help of real-world case studies, threat models, and reference architectures. You’ll work with practical tools to design risk-based security controls for industrial use cases and gain practical knowledge of multi-layered defense techniques, including identity and access management (IAM), endpoint security, and communication infrastructure. You’ll also understand how to secure IIoT lifecycle processes, standardization, and governance. In the concluding chapters, you’ll explore the design and implementation of resilient connected systems with emerging technologies such as blockchain, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. By the end of this book, you’ll be equipped with the all the knowledge required to design industry-standard IoT systems confidently.

A primer on identity and access control


One of the fundamental tenets of security is to ensure only authorized entities gain access to the information, systems, networks, and other protected assets. Identification and access control have been practiced since the early days of civilization; in the Arabian Nights, we come across interesting stories weaved around passcodes and message encoding schemes to protect hidden treasures. We have come a long way since then.

Access cards, biometrics, passwords, physical security keys, and so on are widely used to control access in the human world. With the advent of web and e-commerce, several new protocols and trust models have emerged. These trust models heavily rely on applied cryptography to secure transactions in the cyber world. In the last decade, we have seen wireless authentication and authorization techniques developing at a fast pace to secure enterprise mobility, particularly BYOD practices. In this chapter, we will focus on trustworthy identity...
