Periodic Reporting for period 2 - CHARIOT (Cognitive Heterogeneous Architecture for Industrial IoT)
Okres sprawozdawczy: 2019-07-01 do 2020-12-31
-- CHARIOT Scope and Issues
CHARIOT includes an IoT Devices Lifecycle Management that uses blockchain and PKI for sensors’ and gateway/controllers’ authentication, encryptions between all IIoT (industrial IoT) endpoints. Blockchain is also used for sensors’ state management. A mobile application is providing the user interface for sensor provisioning. IoT firmware development and deployment activities include security of firmware developed using meta data insertion into the executable files (binaries) combined with blockchain hashing to affirm each version as well as the update process. Firmware binary analysis complements this by identifying security vulnerabilities during the firmware update. Intelligent IoT data analytics are complementing the overall solution and overcoming the state of the art in SCADA (or related) systems. Machine learning anomaly detection based on user-defined models and neural networks (such as LSTM) are also used to identify non-recurrent patterns in data streams or other anomalies. An IoTL language is being developed and used to manage the dynamic network configuration, access control, topology. Predictive analytics are also used to highlight out-of-bounds behaviors and assess combined interdependent risks. The CHARIOT platform and user interfaces complement the solution and provide the system backbone for data communications, services execution and user interaction, alerting, sensor management and platform monitoring.
-- Objectives:
1. Specify a Methodological Framework for Design and Operation of Secure and Safe IoT Applications addressing System Safety as a cross cutting concern
2. Develop an Open Cognitive IoT Architecture and Platform that exhibits intelligent safety behavior in the diverse and complex ways
3. Develop a runtime IoT Privacy, Security and Safety Supervision Engine (IPSE) which will act continuously to understand and monitor the cyber-physical ecosystem
4. Test and validate the system in 3 living labs
5. Scale up through dissemination, exploitation and Capacity Building
