  4. Motivation Q: What will you get from this presentation (or from reading the paper)? A: Introduction to problems with security for distributed embedded devices

  5. Agenda • Introductive scenario and derived key features • State of the art and problem statements • Outlook • Conclusion

  6. Scenario: Light Bulbs – The classical approach light bulbs switches

  7. Scenario: Security Key Features

  8. Scenario: Security Key Features Authenticity

  9. Scenario: Security Key Features Authenticity Integrity

  10. Scenario: Security Key Features Authenticity Integrity Confidentiality

  11. Scenario: Security Key Features Authenticity Integrity Confidentiality Authorization

  12. Scenario: Security Key Features Authenticity Integrity Confidentiality Authorization

  13. Scenario: Light Bulbs – The IoT approach light bulbs digitalSTROM-module 6LoWPAN-module PLC-module SOA engine SOA engine SOA engine IEEE 802.15.4 PLC digitalSTROM Internet /LAN Ethernet ZigBEE WiFi SOA engine SOA engine SOA engine IoT wall-switch smart-phone PC switches

  14. Scenario: Security Key Features IoT

  15. Scenario: Security Key Features IoT Seemless integration of new devices, includes negotiation of suitable authentication

  16. Scenario: Security Key Features IoT Seemless integration of new devices, includes negotiation of suitable authentication Securely remove devices from network

  17. Scenario: Security Key Features IoT Seemless integration of new devices, includes negotiation of suitable authentication Securely remove devices from network Let participants gather security information about each other

  18. Scenario: Security Key Features IoT Seemless integration of new devices, includes negotiation of suitable authentication Securely remove devices from network Let participants gather security information about each other Plus: all this across different trust domains

  19. Scenario: Security Key Features IoT Seemless integration of new devices, includes negotiation of suitable authentication Securely remove devices from network Let participants gather security information about each other Plus: all this across different trust domains

  20. Problem Statement Development of (new) security concepts is cumbersome and expensive Technology designers tend to fall back on existing security techniques (even, if they are not ideal)

  21. Terminology What are those techniques and why are the not ideal?

  22. MAC Layer Security • Same key for everyone • or - • Different key for everyone ≙ subnet subnet router MAC LayerSecurity

  23. IP Sec Tunnel Mode Transport Mode subnet subnet Vendor A Vendor B IPSec is complex! node router IPSec Gateway

  24. Transport Layer Security (TLS aka. SSL) TLS Application TCP! Transport Internet MAC PHY

  25. Conclusion Network Stack Security • Existing basic security mechanisms not ideal for embedded devices • Solve single aspects only and are not suitable for embedded devices •  Security should be covered on application layer

  26. Application Layer Security: Academic Reserach Projects PEIS[4] PEIS[4] Gaia[10] PECES[7] SM4ALL[5] SM4ALL[5] iCOCOA[12] iCOCOA[12] MundoCore[9] MundoCore[9] PACE[13] PACE[13] Hydra/Linksmart[3] GREEN[8] GREEN[8] MobiPADS[11] MobiPADS[11] ubiSOAP(PLASTIC)[6] Amigo[2] Cooltown[1] Cooltown[1]

  27. Conclusion Application Layer Security • Security often not considered at all • If considered, then… • … employed technologies not suitable for embedded devices • … only single issues solved •  No interoperability between approaches

  28. Outlook: Future Work WebServices • Instead: • Find existing solution from different domain • isolate core concepts • develop methodology to transport core concepts to domain of embedded devices Do not reinvent the wheel WS-SecuritySuite

  29. Outlook: Future Work Devices Profile for Web Services Do not reinvent the wheel Devices Profile for WS-SecuritySuite

  30. Future Work in Detail • Communication technology for distributed systems • Base technology (Web Services) already adapted to embedded devices (DPWS) • WS Security suite offers all requested core features (message and connection level security, trust and authorization brokering, …) • Abstract Web Services to create security concept for any service-oriented communication technology • Open technology fosters interoperability

  31. Conclusion • Although often employed, existing basic technologies (IPSec, TLS, …) not ideal • Many approaches on application layer security exist but • they often solve single aspects only • are not interoperable •  Future WS Compact Security has the potential to form a basis for an interoperable security concept for distributed embedded devices (disregarding the base technology)
