The Internet of Things
(IoT) has significant potential in upgrading legacy production machinery with
monitoring capabilities to unlock new capabilities and bring economic benefits.
However, the introduction of IoT at the shop floor layer exposes it to additional
security risks with potentially significant adverse operational impact. This project addresses such fundamental new risks at their root by introducing a
novel endpoint security by design approach. The approach is implemented on a
widely applicable production machinery monitoring application by introducing
real time adaptation features for IoT device security through subsystem
isolation and a dedicated lightweight authentication protocol.
