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.

USPs outline
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.

Journal: npj Wireless Technology Authors: Gelenbe E, Ren Q, Yan Z. Abstract: This paper investigates the manner in which trust develops progressively and changes over time among networked entities through opinions, negative or positive, that these entities express about each other. The entities receive “voting rights” from an external regulator,…

This is the 5th edition of the DOSS Newsletter. This issue covers the project period from month 25 to 30, in which phase we completed the implementation of the core modules of the Supply Trust Chain and finished their integration as well. Having completed the initial tests, now technically we…
Deliverable D5.2 – Architecture Security Validator Platform
D5.2 is a demonstrator deliverable presenting the technical realization of the DOSS Architecture Security Validator (ASV) platform. Created in Work Package 5, the ASV!s objective was to elaborate an automated platform that verifies and pre-certifies IoT architectures against security standards and regulations. It provides continuous compliance assessment, identifying shortcomings through…
