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.

Establishing trust in hardware


A trust anchor can be implemented in either software or hardware; the choice calls for a trade-off between the complexity and level of assurance. Compared to software-based trust, tamper-resistant hardware provides better trust performance, as it provides a RoT with the secured storage of secrets. Hardware-based trust consumes less power (IIC-IISF), which is an important consideration for resource-constrained environments. These benefits, however, come at the cost of complexities in managing firmware and crypto library updates. Hardware-based security is more rigid, and often involves static implementation. In some instances, due to a lack of update capability, hardware vulnerabilities may last throughout the life of the device. In recent years, innovations in trusted computing have significantly addressed some of these limitations.

Software-based trust is used in many IT systems. It provides a lower level of assurance, and as such, it should be carefully considered...
