Project description
Increasing Internet of things security for SMEs
The Internet of things (IoT) and AI offer the potential to automate tasks and address societal challenges, but connectivity also comes with certain drawbacks. As the complexities in this field continue to grow, SMEs need assistance to ensure the security of their networks. The presence of a single infected device can jeopardise the entire network. The EU-funded Resilient Trust project is focused on achieving end-to-end security for IoT processing chains, with an emphasis on providing robust protection for SMEs against a range of attacks, including post-quantum and AI-based attacks. To accomplish this goal, the project will develop specialised hardware designed to establish a layer of trust between a network and a resilient defence system. Ultimately, it will secure a processing chain for IoT 5.0 effectively addressing significant security risks while promoting sustainable development.
Objective
The internet of things (IoT) is promising as it drives the datafication of our everyday life and thus, leverages synergies between originally considered “dead” things and enables them to proactively serve humans. IoT leads to a high automation potential with which we improve the life of billions of people and compensate for societal problems such as a growingly old population, missing high-skilled labour across Europe or the efficiency limits in current production capabilities. IoT5.0 an Artificial Intelligence (AI) -assisted Internet of Things, could even more benefit society, as the devices could even learn how to provide more value. But the ubiquitous connectivity comes at a cost. Security levels have to rise tremendously to ensure a network stays secure and safe for humans. This additional effort often is a burden for small and medium sized enterprises as the complexity and security demands of such systems rise faster than available resources. This is especially dangerous as a single corrupted, malicious device can result in the exploitation of the entire network of connected devices by an attacker. Consequently, RESILIENT TRUST focuses on end-to-end security of IoT processing chains with a focus on strong exploitation for SMEs. This vision will be realized by developing specialized hardware to establish TRUST in-between a network and a wall of RESILIENCE even against new attack methods such as post quantum attacks and AI based attacks. The architecture of the secure processing chain will be carefully built after threat modelling, asset identification, risk analysis, security objectives and requirements definition. Consequently, RESILIENT TRUST will address and significantly mitigate these major risks to enable IoT5.0. That way this project will be a driver for sustainable development and the generation of convenience and wealth. A solution is proposed to ensure end-to-end security by boosting RESILIENCE and TRUST along different key supply chains of IoT device
