Decentralized & Verifiable IIoT Product & Firmware Security States on Blockchain
Summary
The use of embedded systems in various industries has increased, and with the rise of IoT devices, the potential attack vectors of these systems have grown exponentially. To protect these systems, manufacturers need to implement cybersecurity strategies.
The Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) has been introduced by the EU to meet common cybersecurity standards for networked devices and services, particularly in the industrial sector.
>MEDUSA< is a SaaS tool that helps manufacturers meet these requirements by analyzing, verifying, and centrally storing the states of security based on firmware. >MEDUSA< combines the power of open-source emulation tools, established build systems, and custom technology to form an embedded device emulation system based on Linux, Android, Harmony OS, and other proprietary platforms. MEDUSA also provides a static vulnerability analysis of the status quo from the vulnerability point of view.
Blockchain Verification of Analysis Results
CyberDanube has chosen to integrate a trust authority, ITD, into their software, offering a simple implementation via their API. They store a hash value in the blockchain based on the firmware, analysis results, and entropy to ensure cybersecurity. The blockchain solution is based on a DACH consortium and a “proof of authority” in a “round-robin principle” approach. With this technology, customers can benefit from advanced technology and transparency in their business processes and in terms of (I)IoT and product security.
