Security for services using mobile network connected systems

Purpose and goal

Embedded devices are the corner stones in many IoT solutions but also as subsystems in larger ICT and control systems like automotive, facility control, drones and communication infrastructure systems. These devices have to be secure when commencing operation and have to maintain there security posture over long periods of time, even for a a couple of decades. With our contribution to the EMC2 project we brough experience from security in mobile devices to embedded devices in general with the perspective of having the right requirements in place when designing future embedded devices.

Expected results and effects

We have produced a general approach for building secure embedded device solutions using a service oriented architecture. Furthermore, we developped and tested an efficient solution for access control to services provided by embedded devices. It was verified using the Ericsson Calvin framework.

Planned approach and implementation

The work for the T1.5 task was done though workshops and collective writing of the report, where state of the art approaches were investigated and novel approaches were discussed. Work for the other workpackages followed a traditional procedure of report contributions and reviews before final inclusion in the final version. Investigations on access control and management solutions for IoT were carried out through master theses projects. They also contributed to implementation work and open source contributions to the Calvin framework.
