Procedurally Provisioned Access Control for Robotic Systems
This work addresses security issues in robotic systems for industrial and domestic IoT, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing ROS2 tools.
The authors tackled the problem of securing robotic systems by introducing a framework for procedural provisioning of access control policies and verifying compliance of transport artifacts and decision point implementations, leveraging ROS2's Secure DDS support.
Security of robotics systems, as well as of the related middleware infrastructures, is a critical issue for industrial and domestic IoT, and it needs to be continuously assessed throughout the whole development lifecycle. The next generation open source robotic software stack, ROS2, is now targeting support for Secure DDS, providing the community with valuable tools for secure real world robotic deployments. In this work, we introduce a framework for procedural provisioning access control policies for robotic software, as well as for verifying the compliance of generated transport artifacts and decision point implementations.
