DOSS

DESIGN AND OPERATION OF SECURE IoT SUPPLY CHAIN

The Concept

The DOSS – Secure-By-Design IoT Operation With Supply Chain Control – project aims to improve the security and reliability of IoT operations by introducing an integrated monitoring and validation framework to IoT Supply Chains, including all the relevant stakeholders. DOSS elaborates on a secure-by-design methodology and implements related technology based on formalized data exchange, component testing, and architecture modeling.

What is this solution offering that’s different?
End-to-end communication

The DOSS “Supply Trust Chain” connects all relevant stakeholders with a formalized communication flow to facilitate monitoring of the movement of IoT devices from manufacturers all the way to decommissioning.

Multi-level security testing

DOSS establishes a comprehensive testing model covering all IoT components, including the binary testing of IoT devices, black-box analysis of 3rd party applications, vulnerability assessment on open-source applications, and internal developments the result of which will provide solid evidence of the existence or absence of vulnerabilities.

Security modeling in digital twin

DOSS will use an AI-assisted, flexibly configurable cybersecurity digital twin to simulate already in the design phase the architecture of selected IoT operations to identify potential attack scenarios, to analyze their impact, and to elaborate the necessary countermeasures. 

Security feedback from operation

The DOSS IoT “Supply Trust Chain” also comprises the highly protected IoT operation itself, which is integrated into the communication loop to provide relevant security-related information to other actors of the IoT supply chain.

The DOSS Device Security Passport (DSP)

With the rapid proliferation of IoT technologies, security concerns have increased due to the opaque nature of supply chains. Operators often lack comprehensive knowledge about the security status of their devices. The DOSS framework addresses this gap by providing a system that facilitates transparency, reliability, and timely security information exchange…

Journal: IEEE Network Magazine Authors: Luo T, Wang J, Yan Z, Gelenbe E. Abstract: The process of quantifying trust considers the factors that affect it, which can be applied to identify malicious behavior, reduce uncertainty, and facilitate decision-making. Traditional trust evaluation methods based on statistics and reasoning, rely heavily on domain…
