Security Landscape for Robotics
This work addresses security challenges for robotics systems, particularly in safety-critical applications, but it is incremental as it primarily reviews and categorizes existing issues without introducing new solutions.
The paper reviews the security landscape in robotics, identifying that current safety mechanisms for Internet-connected robots necessitate addressing four key security requirements: supply chain calibration, command integrity and authenticity, physical-plane security, and secure logging and auditing.
In this paper, the current state of security in robotics is described to be in need of review. When we consider safety mechanisms implemented in an Internet-connected robot, the requirement of safety becomes a crucial security requirement. Upon review of the current state of security in the field of robotics, four key requirements are in need of addressing: the supply chain for calibration, integrity and authenticity of commands (i.e. in teleoperation), physical-plane security and finally, secure, controlled logging and auditing.
