Secure Information Sharing in an Industrial Internet of Things
It addresses security challenges for IIoT systems, but the approach is incremental as it builds on existing practices without introducing a fundamentally new method.
This paper tackles the problem of achieving secure information sharing with external vendors in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) by identifying security requirements and proposing a roadmap with short-term solutions based on existing practices and long-term solutions involving fine-grained access control for cloud-based data storage.
This paper investigates how secure information sharing with external vendors can be achieved in an Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). It also identifies necessary security requirements for secure information sharing based on identified security challenges stated by the industry. The paper then proposes a roadmap for improving security in IIoT which investigates both short-term and long-term solutions for protecting IIoT devices. The short-term solution is mainly based on integrating existing good practices. The paper also outlines a long term solution for protecting IIoT devices with fine-grained access control for sharing data between external entities that would support cloud-based data storage.
