Device Management in the Internet of Things Why It Matters and How to Achieve It Data may be the hero of the Internet of Things (IoT) story but the real workhorses are the devices at the edge of the IoT system Theyrsquove been deployed to generate and transmit data to a centralized platform or to perform an automated task that in turn generates data The perfor-mance of the system as a whole often hinges on the health of these devices If a device sensor embedded agent or gateway begins faltering the consequences can range from minor disruption to dire
REMOTE CONTROL FOR THE DEVICE LIFECYCLEFrom the initial design stage device manufacturers and system developers need to take into account a devicersquos entire operating lifecycle from the time it is deployed until it is decommissioned Over that time several distinct but interrelated issues need to be addressed
Commissioning and provisioning Once devices are deployed and connected operators must activate and provision them This can mean literally going from device to device with a thumb drive and loading applications or performing upgrades manually System operators need the means to configure provision and manage field devices remotely
Security Hackers often target endpoint devices as a means of gaining entry to the system as a whole Security breaches at the device level can have severe conse-quences including steep financial losses damage to cred-ibility and trust or even endangerment of human life Securing devices is particularly problematic because they are vulnerable to both physical tampering and network- borne threats
Monitoring and management System operators need tools to monitor the health and performance of devices remotely and check for security vulnerabilities They also need to be able to send ldquoinstructionsrdquo to devices to fix a problem or change a function often based on data that has been received from those same devices This requires a two-way or ldquoround-triprdquo communication capability in which responses to the devices can be automated
Integration IoT systems that generate and deliver data from field devices need a point of integration with enter-prise systems that can aggregate analyze and act upon that data
Updates and upgrades Devices in enterprise applica-tions may be expected to operate and perform for years The software running on them likely will require constant updating bug fixes and security patches They will also require periodic software upgrades both to avoid per-formance degradation and to take advantage of software improvements that will bring greater speed capacity and efficiency Once an upgrade or a new application has been developed operators need the means to deploy it quickly to many devices at a time
Decommissioning Developers need to plan for the end of the devicersquos life at the design stage Operators need to be able to securely remove a device from service ensuring that it is truly ldquodeadrdquo and does not expose a vulnerability that intruders could exploit
THE ANSWER IN THE CLOUDDevice management should be part of an IoT strategy from inception But trying to build capabilities for device management and two-way communication increases the cost and complexity of development and slows time-to-deployment
A more practical solution is to leverage technology designed specifically for IoT device deployment and management Wind Riverreg Helixtrade Device Cloud makes this possible by enabling operators to safely and securely monitor manage service and update devices in the field
Device Cloud automatically collects and integrates data from hundreds or thousands of disparate devices machines and systems enabling operators to track device status and content share data among engineers and proactively determine when updates are needed

The Internet of Things (IoT) has been touted as the next Industrial Revolution with pervasive connectivity and the insights it can generate offering a new digital lens for viewing and managing the physical world But in addition to the tangible process efficiencies and quality of life improvements expected from the IoT itrsquos also a stepping stone to perhaps the greatest achievement in human history artificial intelligence (AI)
In many ways the technological progression of AI and the IoT are intertwined IoT will provide the information that fuels our data-driven economy while AI is the engine that will consume it Though both paradigms are still in their infancy eachrsquos suc-cess is contingent upon the otherrsquos The IoT can never reach its potential without a mechanism for autonomously processing large heterogeneous data sets just as AI is incapable of expanding without being fed massive amounts of data
Like many other IoT-enabling technologies however AI research and development has largely been restricted to the IT sector as the complexity of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) hidden Markov models (HMMs) natural language pro-cessing and other disciplines used in the creation of machine learning algorithms and deep neural networks (DNNs) requires storage and computing resources usually only accessible on a data center scale Likewise programming methodologies have been tuned to IT developers with tools such as R Python SQL Excel RapidMiner Hadoop Spark and Tableau being the most widely employed by data analysts and computer scientists working in the AI field
This gap between AI and data collection at the physicaldigital interchange is a common complication for the IoT which is just beginning to drive the integration of IT and operational tech-nology (OT) Nonetheless itrsquos a gap that must be bridged
AI for the embedded IoTOne of AIrsquos early excursions into the OT space came with the release of the NVIDIA Jetson TK1 platform in 2014 Based on the Tegra K1 system on chip (SoC) and its 192-core Kepler GPU and quad-core ARM Cortex-A15 the Jetson TK1 brought data center-level compute performance to computer vision robotics and automotive applications but also provided embedded engineers with a development platform for the CUDA Deep Neural Network (cuDNN) library The cuDNN primitives enabled operations such as activation functions forward and backward convolution normalization and tensor transformations required for DNN training and inferencing and the combination of this technology with the Jetson TK1rsquos 10 W power envelope meant
that deep learning frameworks such as Caffe and Torch could be accessed and executed on smaller OT devices
Today that groundwork has been extended as the Jetson TK1rsquos successor the Jetson TX1 system on module (SoM) contains 256 CUDA cores an ARM Cortex-A57 CPU and is capable of 1 TFLOPS performance Machine learning tools and libraries are also more widely available through the NVIDIA JetPack 23 an evolution of the original set of cuDNN libraries that better serves OT developers by packaging the CUDA Toolkit 8 devel-opment environment for building GPU-based applications in C and C++ camera and Video4Linux2 (V4L2) APIs the TensorRT inferencing engine and cuDNN 51 which now sup-ports recurrent neural networks (RNNs) and long short-term memory (LSTM) networks An NVIDIA benchmark shows that optimizations in the Jetson TX1 and JetPack 23 can permit up to 20 times better energy efficiency than CPUs running com-parable deep learning workloads while still maintaining an 8-10 W power draw on the TX1 under typical workloads
Never stop learningAs the IoT produces data for the AI revolution the need to monitor the progression of machine learning technologies has also become apparent This not only ensures that intelligent sys-tems endowed with learning capabilities properly pursue the objectives of their education but also that human developers properly refine the underlying frameworks and libraries upon which machine learning is based to meet desired end goals
For this purpose Cornell Computer Science PhD Jason Yosinski created the Deep Visualization Toolbox an open-source project that allows users to observe the various layers of a DNN to infer how machine learning platforms compute answers to complex problems A video demonstration of the Deep Visualization Toolbox running on the Jetson TX1 devel-oper kit can be viewed in the web version of this article at httpbitlyAIforIoT and for those of you fortunate enough to be visiting CES in 2017 NVIDIA typically showcases deep learning technologies at its automotive booth in North Hall
Itrsquos just the beginning but an IoT inflection point is occurring at the intersection of IT and embedded That inflection point is AI

Digital certificates such as X509 used by the transport layer security (TLS) protocol are ingrained in
almost every aspect of our digital lives Whether sending a secure e-mail checking a bank account balance or
performing any other action that requires an encrypted online connection these certificates authenticate the
identity of parties involved in the electronic exchange of information to prevent for example man-in-the-middle
attacks whereby a malicious actor impersonates one entity and potentially alters or misrepresents the content
being exchanged
AWS Microchip deliver trust anchor for end-to-end IoT securityBy Brandon Lewis Technology Editor
Certification authorities (CAs) sign digital certificates as proof that they have validated a root certificate containing an entityrsquos public key which is mathematically associated with a unique private key that remains secret as part of an entityrsquos asymmetric publicprivate key pair (Figures 1A and 1B) This key exchange and verification mechanism between user and CA instills confidence in any recipient of the digital certificate that its sender is in fact who they attest to be
However outside of the enterpriseIT community digital certificates have primarily been used to validate servers only Client authentication is typically not implemented in most applications because it requires certificate provisioning for large sets of heterogeneous end users which complicates the management of a public key infra-structure (PKI) But with the Internet of Things (IoT) introducing billions of clients that not only retrieve information from the cloud but also send data to it the requirement for mutual authentication ndash or the immediate two-way authentication of both clients and servers ndash has steadily increased to ensure overall system integrity
AWS mutual authentication and Just-In-Time RegistrationWith the release of the AWS IoT platform last year Amazon Web Services (AWS) intro-duced mutual authentication to the IoT space As mentioned mutual authentication
technology helps verify the integrity of all parties in a system of systems archi-tecture but also introduces problems related to certificate provisioning for client-side devices
In response AWS released a service this April called ldquoUse Your Own Certificaterdquo which allows original equipment manu-facturers (OEMs) to register digital certificates signed by a third-party CA with the AWS IoT platform using an API The Use Your Own Certificate feature implies that the key exchange required for the creation of a digital certificate can occur independent of a client con-nection with AWS IoT servers and per-haps even before the device itself is connected to the Internet introducing a

new possibility for OEMs Unique cryp-tographic keys can be generated for each device during production signed by a CA as part of an offline digital cer-tificate verification process and then loaded into the AWS IoT platform to await a service request from systems containing the corresponding key pairs This process also lays the groundwork for the latest capability in the AWS IoT portfolio Just-In-Time Registration (JITR) announced in August
JITR is somewhat of a turning point for the IoT in that as the term implies devices can automatically connect to and be recognized by the AWS IoT cloud the first time they request service from the platform This type of immediate autonomous onboarding of devices with cloud services is critical given the pro-jected number of IoT connections but is contingent upon the devices connecting being pre-equipped with unique trusted
private keys in order to enable services such as the Use Your Own Certificate API and to prevent impersonation attacks (Figure 2) It also requires that devices be equipped with the correct server configurations and policies to help facilitate the onboarding process which must also be kept secure
FIGURE 2Just-in-time registration (JITR) allows devices to connect with AWS IoT servers the first time they attempt a service connection but requires that the Use Your Own Certificate API be leveraged first to upload device certificates into AWS IoT

The challenge of device manufacturers is to ensure that these keys and poli-cies remain secret and secure from the time a device is manufactured through the onboarding process and even after a product reaches end of life (EOL) Previously this has been attempted through the installation of hardware security modules (HSMs) in secure rooms at factories periodic factory security audits and time box proto-cols that attempt to define an accept-able onboarding period for devices Unfortunately these methods tend to be either expensive or inexact and also donrsquot account for threats that could compromise systems deployed in the field such as physical tampering
Hardware-based elliptic curve cryptography anchors trust in IoT 2016 has also seen significant news from the other side of the IoT technology spectrum as semiconductor vendor Microchip acquired competitor Atmel for approximately $36 billion earlier this year Among other technologies the pur-chase netted Microchip access to Atmelrsquos portfolio of security ICs including elliptic curve cryptography-based (ECC-based) CryptoAuthentication devices such as the ECC508A (Figure 3)
The ECC508A is noteworthy in the framework of AWS IoTrsquos mutual authen-tication Use Your Own Certificate and JITR capabilities in that the elliptic curve
Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) key agreement protocol it employs enables the internal gener-ation and storage of private keys These keys remain protected through the life of the device due to tamper-resistant architectural features of the chip including internally encrypted memory isolated power rails a memory and logic shield internal clock generation and a lack of probe points that protect against real-world threats such as emissions analysis microprobe power cycling and timing attacks This secure storage space can also be used to house pre-configured AWS server policies resulting in a device that contains all of the information needed for digital certificate authentication and onboarding required by JITR
As seen in wolfSSLrsquos wolfCrypt benchmark of an embedded SSLTLS stack running on the ECC508A the hardware-based crypto acceleration of the chip also offloads encryption tasks from a host processor resulting in improved overall system perfor-mance (Figure 4)
ECC508A and AWS IoT The processAs discussed previously private keys are mathematically correlated with the public keys required for the creation of digital certificates Therefore the ECC508A becomes the root of trust for any device that equips it
In the context of a mutually authenticated AWS IoT deployment leveraging the ECC508A Microchip can act as the CA both generating and signing device certifi-cates in parallel as part of the certificate chain verification process for an IoT OEM
The ECC508A is a 2 mm x 3 mm tamper-resistant CryptoAuthentication device based on elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) cryptography algorithms that provide hardware-based cryptographic key generation storage and countermeasures

The OEM would then load the resulting digital certificates into their AWS IoT account through the Use Your Own Certificate API where they would remain until an incoming TLS request from a device containing the partnered ECC508A key pair triggers the JITR process
The procedure from key generation through cloud onboarding requires a one-time setup shown in Figure 5 As keys are generated in a secure Microchip facility and the key management infrastructure is already in place OEMs are able to access robust security and automatic cloud authentication by adding a single component to their bill of materials (BoM)
Dropping anchor on IoT securitySecurity is essential to the continued rollout of IoT in every market and discrete solutions that allow device makers to separate security from business functions and value adds will enable more innovative products in the future An ECC508A evaluation kit is available for interested parties through Microchip and distribu-tors such as DigiKey and Mouser with trials and tutorials of AWS IoT accessible at awsamazoncomiot

Edge
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) promises to deliver a step change in efficiency and a leap towards
autonomy for industrial automation and other sectors such as security and surveillance and building management
The prospect of self-monitoring self-managing factories and manufacturing processes is no longer beyond the
distant horizon The ability to remotely identify monitor and control every individual device in a manufacturing
process network with minimal or no human intervention offers opportunities that were beyond comprehension just
a decade ago ndash even in the eyes of engineers working at the very forefront of industrial manufacturing technology
Advances in sensing connectivity and control fuel IIoT designsBy Wiren Perera
The key drivers of the IIoT are more measurement of an expanding number of parameters fast and extensive analysis of and reactions to data and accelerated enhancements to processes Successful IIoT design and management can mean continuously optimized efficiency reduced operating costs and more resilient self-learning processes At the fulcrum of this are a number of semiconductor technolo-gies on offer and in development at some of the worldrsquos top electronic component manufacturers
Vision-based sensing and energy harvestingSensors are at the heart of the IIoT gathering more and more data But to measure more we need to sense more ndash more parameters more accurately and more often Overlaying software on established technologies can bring incremental gains but to make the necessary advances we need to add more parameters with accuracy as each additional parameter can make a system smarter
Sensor technology that measures ldquotraditionalrdquo parameters such as temperature light position level humidity and pressure continues to advance But despite becoming smaller more cost-effective and often embedded each sensor is dedicated and hence limited in its functionality and versatility Vision-based sensing enables a new paradigm Corollary to the concept of ldquoa picture is worth a thousand wordsrdquo once a machine can ldquoseerdquo much more is possible much faster
With vision sensing programmability brings flexibility enabling a single vision system to sense missing or misplaced components and other process vari-ables The trend towards vision-based sensing ndash both still and video ndash will make future systems more intelligent flexible and ultimately more valuable
Current advances in machine vision in many situations can provide better sight than the human eye Coupled with the reduction in risks associated with human error it enables a new degree of adapt-ability and speed for reconfigurable production processes This could be any-thing from optimization based on real-time events to the reconfiguration of a system that may allow multiple products to be made on a single line They only require a simple change from one control

FIGURE 1 ON Semiconductorrsquos Smart Passive Sensor family are wireless energy harvesting sensors that can function autonomously in space-constrained environments
program to the next and the system is ready to run This has obvious cost time and labor benefits and reduces the risks associated with error
However the distributed nature of the IIoT and the requirement to place mul-tiple sensors at various points of mea-surement presents another challenge the reliable delivery of power
Successful sensors especially those utilized in IIoT designs have four basic attributes they need to be self-pow-ered collect data broadcast their status and have the ability to connect Wireless sensors with the ability to harvest energy (ie self-powered) are essential if the IIoT is to advance and realize its potential Wireless energy harvesting solutions such as ON Semiconductorrsquos Smart Passive Sensors are an example of technology that can meet these require-ments (Figure 1) These devices can be deployed in hard-to-access space- constrained environments with no direct power source allowing them to function autonomously
Instant access to dataSensors gather data and then post-pro-cessing and analytics generate valuable information along with the ability to control factories and processes
The processing of large sustained flows of data associated with real-time sensing for the IIoT is reliant on the cloud This analysis requires platforms that can store large data sets across distributed clus-ters often combining and processing data from many geographically dis-persed sources In global organizations for example a problem in a Chinese smart factory can trigger an almost in- stantaneous process improvement in a similar factory located somewhere else in the world
Advances in secure communications and authentication also allow mobile devices to connect to these networks bringing opportunities for instantaneous access to information Flexible access can then drive value into the business and its relationships with the outside world In
fact this IToperational technology (OT) integration as shown in Figure 2 has the potential to bring the greatest benefits to a broad range of industrial automation applications
Combining sensing connectivity and actuationMany industrial control systems are very sophisticated and require accurate or careful often rapid positioning This could mean anything from the speed and direction of a cooling fan to a motor or servo that adjusts a valve position or a stepper motor for linear or angular positioning in a precision task Alongside the rapid development of sensing for the IIoT the actuators and their controllers that provide the physical reac-tions to gathered analyzed data are seeing similar advancements
However integrated manufacturing processes require a broad range of sensing tech-nologies be combined with connectivity and actuation which creates design and expertise challenges Fully integrated hardware and software development platforms that combine these elements are crucial to help speed and ease the customization of specific functions for adoption into end products Modularity makes these platforms extensible to new IoTIIoT functions and devices that are based on new advances allowing more rapid adoption (Figure 3 page 14) Open-source support is also impor-tant since a broad ecosystem and interoperability are crucial for the IoTrsquos success

Sensors data processing and actuators are all significant building blocks of an IIoT application However without a means to communicate share data and transmit receive and execute instructions the IIoT cannot function
Considering the IIoTrsquos unique requirements not all standards and protocols are satis-factory The technologies suitable for smartphone personal area networks (PANs) or single-supplier standards are unlikely to be successful Instead itrsquos important for IIoT
platforms to demonstrate flexibility by supporting a broad array of standards including Thread SIGFOX EnOcean M-Bus KNX ZigBee and proprietary protocols The adoption of a software-defined radio (SDR) approach allows a single platform to support multiple pro-tocols which will be a requirement for platforms designed support multiple applications
ZigBee and Thread are complementary 802154 standards and a liaison relationship between the two industry organizations should help drive broad adoption of these protocols within smart home applications Thread is an IP-based (IPv6) networking protocol built on open standards for low-power mesh networks that can easily and securely connect hundreds of devices to each other and directly to the cloud Security and interoperability are two of Threadrsquos key value-added capabilities
Conversely SIGFOX enables wide-area networks (WANs) that provide relatively low bandwidth communications with fixed or mobile smart objects or sensors deployed over large areas Example applications for this protocol include the nationwide tracking of shipping containers or vehicles and communication with geographically spread assets such as smart-city equipment or oil pumps and pipelines
Technology convergence for the IIoTAt the core of achieving the IIoTrsquos true potential will be the effective interplay and connection of sensing computing and control technologies in robust energy-efficient implementations Every facet of technology is evolving towards this goal with both discrete solutions and integrated development platforms that are enabling embedded and IoT design engineers to transform yester-dayrsquos vision of automated self- managing industry into todayrsquos reality

IoT developers often consider faster time-to-market and lower product maintenance costs when deploying firmware update mechanisms as the capability allows them to stage feature roll-outs enabledisable features or functionality on devices in the field fix firmware bugs after a product has been released reduce the need for expensive technical support and enable better overall end user experiences However if proper security measures are not in place this feature may be misused and the consequences of a successful exploitation can be disastrous ranging from intellectual property (IP) theft and product cloning all the way to unauthor-ized control of the deployed system For example a successful exploitation of firmware update mechanisms that do not support verifying a new firmware imagersquos authenticity in a hospital drug pump can lead to a hacker tampering with the dos-ages of drugs delivered to patients
Firmware updates and their vulnerabilitiesFigure 1 shows a typical firmware update process The steps include
1 The product manufacturer creates and loads an initial firmware image into the device in a trusted environment
2 The product is deployed with the initial firmware into the field
3 When a firmware update is required the product manufacturer creates a new firmware image
4 The manufacturer sends the new firmware image to the end usertechnician or to the product directly through an untrusted communication channel
5 The new firmware is loaded onto the device in the field
In Figure 1 potential security threats are apparent during the ldquotransportrdquo phase when new firmware is transferred via an untrusted communication channel or during the ldquofirmware loadingrdquo phase when the new firmware is downloaded onto the device in the field
The new firmware image being down-loaded to the device corresponds to the IP of the product manufacturer and the target asset Threats to this asset include
1 Reverse engineering of the firmware binary image into assembly or a higher level engineering language to analyze its functionality and contents
2 Product cloning where a firmware image from the product manufacturer is loaded onto a device that is not authorized
3 Alteration of the firmware distributed by the product manufacturer
4 Loading an unauthorized firmware image onto the device which may correspond to an older firmware version from the product manufacturer with known bugs or code created by an unauthorized party or firmware not intended for the specific device (firmware downgrading)
5 Interrupting the firmware update process such that the firmware is only partially updated resulting in a device being unavailable for service
It is evident that the aforementioned threats can have disastrous conse-quences for the product manufacturer service provider and end user thus indi-cating an intense need for embedded designers to strongly consider measures that increase the overall security of the firmware update mechanism

Secure firmware update considerations for ultra-low power MCUsBy Bhargavi Nisarga and Luis Reynoso
16 IoT Design Guide 2016 wwwiotdesignembedded-computingcom
In-field firmware updates are an increasingly
popular feature in microcontroller-based
(MCU-based) applications These updates
enable new firmware images to be downloaded
onto a devicersquos memory providing an effective way
for product manufacturers to offer services and support to products that are already deployed in the
field The Internet of Things (IoT) era is driving increased connectivity in the embedded world making
this one of the most crucial features for todayrsquos connected products ndash so long as they are secure
Secure firmware update considerations for design engineersFigure 2 shows an example representation of network-connected systems In this case the new firmware image is transferred either from the product manufacturer
FIGURE 2A secure firmware update includes security measures dictated by the interface protocols used for network communications as well as application-level security that ensures firmware images are secured before data enters the network
FIGURE 1 Shown here is a typical firmware update process
(eg a new feature roll-out or firmware bug fix) or the service provider (eg to enabledisable features or services in a product) to the end nodes over local or wide area networks (LANsWANs) and may involve authentication from end user applications (eg via mobile devices and web applications) to per-form the firmware update
Embedded systems engineers designing firmware update capabilities for IoT sys-tems need to not only understand the assets that need to be protected and the potential threats but also the capa-bilities and limitations of their system especially as they pertain to cost per-formance or power consumption in constrained systems As a starting point an effective security solution that incor-porates the right combination of crypto-graphic algorithms and protocol-level measures must be considered
Cryptographic algorithms provide a means of protecting the privacy of con-tent while ensuring its authenticity and integrity Not all cryptographic algo-rithms are the same but they are based on four cryptographic primitives that handle one or more components of the con-fidentiality integrity and authenticity (CIA) triad These primitives are
1 Encryption and decryption Encryption is the process by which data (plaintext) is transformed into something random and meaningless (ciphertext) while decryption performs the opposite job These primitives provide both confidentiality and authenticity and are used to prevent the reverse engineering of firmware
2 One-way functions Functions such as hash are mathematical algorithms that are easy to calculate in one direction but difficult in the other They are used to obtain a digital ldquofingerprintrdquo that ensures the integrity of firmware before it is transported into the field

3 Digital signatures Used to detect if a message was altered after it was signed thus providing not only integrity but also authentication These make use of public-key cryptography to generate a signature that can only be properly decrypted using the manufacturerrsquos public key
4 Message authentication code (MAC) Similar to a digital signature except that it uses symmetric keys to encrypt and decrypt a hash generated by the manufacturer If the hash value decrypted by the receiver matches the hash value calculated for the message then the message is valid In this way MACs provide both authenticity and integrity
Some factors that influence the selection of cryptographic algorithms include performance requirements the security needs of the system memory footprint energy consumption and reliability and acceptance of the algorithm by the security
community (such as organizations like the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST))
In addition to cryptographic algorithms protocol-level measures against threats such as firmware downgrading should be considered As mentioned previ-ously firmware downgrading is an attack in which an older defective firm-ware image (encrypted or not) is re-sent to a device in order to revert it to a vul-nerable state A version check of both the firmware and keys can ensure that only new versions are programmed during an update
An attacker can also interrupt a firmware update process using several methods (power loss physical connection failure bits flipped during transmission etc) This can lead to a device executing an incomplete or invalid firmware image rendering it useless or in a compromised state In order to address this scenario firmware update mechanisms need to ensure that an incomplete or corrupted image is not executed and if neces-sary should revert the system to a valid previously used image
Cryptographic bootloaders for connected embedded systemsFirmware updates are typically handled by the device bootloader A bootloader is a piece of code that resides on device memory and has the ability to reprogram the application memory space However finding or creating an embedded boot-loader with the security required for network-connected systems can be challenging For example a system may need the ability to update cryptographic keys so cryptographic functions and a bootloader protocol should support upgrading keys and increased network security during the firmware update pro-cess The bootloader protocol should also accommodate verifying firmware update versions and packet tracking to check if all packets of a specific firmware update image were received
As discussed the selection of a crypto-graphic algorithm is critical because it not only sets the level of security of the sys- tem but it also impacts its performance

Crypto-Bootloader solution imple-mented on MSP430FR5969 devices encapsulates most of the security fea-tures and considerations outlined here (Figure 3)
Securing firmware for the Internet of ThingsIn summary increasingly network embedded products are creating the potential for advanced security threats making in-field firmware updates more vulnerable to remote attacks and exploitations Therefore it is important for embedded designers to consider securing their firmware update mecha-nisms through solutions that provide the right level of security while balancing the cost power and performance con-straints of IoT products

memory footprint and power consump-tion With this in mind AES-CCM repre-sents an optimal solution for embedded bootloaders AES-CCM is a cryptographic bootloader (Crypto-Bootloader) built on two cryptographic primitives AES Counter Mode (AES-CTR) for encryp-tion and cipher block chaining message
authentication code (CBC-MAC) for integrity and authenticity verification Due to the low overhead provided by AES-CCM it provides a perfect balance between increased security and low memory footprint high throughput and efficient power consumption
The selection of an MCU implementing the bootloader should not be over-looked either Designers should con-sider MCUs with features like hardware encryption engines a memory protec-tion unit (MPU) low-power peripherals and memory technologies that allow fast readwrite cycles for increased throughput The MSP430FR5969 MCU from Texas Instruments is an example of such an MCU that integrates an AES-256 co-processor to accelerate encryption algorithms MPU and MPU-IP encap-sulation (MPU-IPE) modules to enable increased protection and encapsulation of memory regions as well as up to 64 KB of FRAM memory for high performance and ultra-low power consumption The
MSP430FR5969 MCUs integrate a Crypto-Bootloader as well as MPUMPU-IPE modules and an AES-256 security co-processor

Herersquos the thing The IoT doesnrsquot need PoCs
I made this statement the other day in a product development team meeting and received looks of shock and disbelief The company with whom I was working has customers asking for help solving a specific problem and we had a multi-disciplinary team reviewing the architecture for a solution The looks I got said ldquoHow can we begin a product development without a PoCrdquo The answer is easy when you consider the definition of a PoC
According to Wikipedia ldquoA proof of concept is a realization of a certain method or idea to demonstrate its feasibility or a demonstration in principle whose purpose is to verify that some concept or theory has the potential of being used A proof of concept is usually small and may or may not be completerdquo
ldquoFeasibilityrdquo is the key word here Feasibility is the role of technology in the Innovation Venn diagram (Figure 1) Is the product technically feasible Can we even make innovation function For the most part after nearly 15 cycles of Moorersquos law and two generations of the Internet this means ldquoDoes the product violate the laws of physicsrdquo
Today particularly in the IoT ecosystem anything is feasible Further one could argue that if the product is a pure software or Internet play it is by definition feasible
The harder questions for new prod-ucts today are the other two parts of the Innovation Venn Is the product
Gateway
I have heard complaints from several Internet of Things (IoT) sales and business leaders about how
proofs-of-concept (PoCs) are slowing them down In some cases they are just frustrated with how often
they are told ldquoWe need to do a PoCrdquo by a development team in response to a request to begin a new product
or offering development In other cases they are frustrated with how the tools used for PoCs ndash development
kits or Maker-ware devices like Arduino and Raspberry Pi ndash prevent them and their customers from deploying
scalable solutions once the concept is proven

desirable If so at what price Is the business viable These are the tough questions facing new offerings today
Therersquos the rub A PoC does nothing to address user desirability or busi-ness viability A PoC only addresses technology
ldquoYoursquove just renamed the PoC as a prototyperdquo you say But therersquos a big difference between the two
In a PoC the developer is not con-strained by manufacturing costs or user acceptance The issue is simple Can I make this offering work Maker tools are excellent for this This is one of the reasons by the way that when one looks for Maker products most of the suppliers are targeting educational organizations Education is about one example one proof that something works one PoC
A prototype however is the first itera-tion of the new product A prototype is built to a product requirements docu-ment (PRD) and that PRD has manu-facturing supply chain constraints certification constraints user experience needs and cost expectations One-off tools like Arduino or Raspberry Pi were not designed for these constraints So when a product development is started with a PoC and uses Maker tools the

The IoT has put a slightly different spin on the product development process because of the addition of an ongoing user-supported experience Business models depend upon ongoing revenue so innovators have to address this need during development This is the role of the pilot The pilot puts the product in a sales-ready format into the hands of enough users in context to measure their adoption of sustained use of and willingness to pay for the product Figure 2 outlines the roles of PoCs prototypes and pilots in the product development process The fastest progression for product development for the IoT is PoC rarr Prototype(s) rarr Pilot rarr Product

Sometimes small changes make a big difference Switching your organizationrsquos thinking from proof-of-concept to proof-of-innovation is one of those changes
Three ways to tell you are wasting time with a PoC1 Examples of the offering exist in
either the lab or with competitors ndash Note that the example can be in other applications or markets For example self-driving cars moved immediately to prototypes because auto-piloted airplanes and drones provided the proof that the technology works for autonomous vehicle operations
2 No new hardware is needed ndash If your new offering depends upon the integration or is a software appli-cation of data then you are not doing a PoC Your technology is feasible it just may not be desirable or viable
3 None of the questions to be answered by the PoC effort involve the laws of physics
Three things that make a good pilot1 You have a sales-ready user
experience ndash An IoT pilot not only has to measure user adoption it also has to measure churn Too much churn will defeat the business To measure these characteristics with confidence across a statistically significant number of users the product must have a sales-ready user experience
2 The product is re-certification tested ndash Since the pilot product is not in fact sold it does not have to be marked UL CE FCC etc But it better be ready to mark As soon as the pilot validates adoption churn and price the sales team is going want to see products shipping so you canrsquot go back and do another spin Be ready
3 The supply chain is solid and meets cost expectations ndash The pilot will measure user adoption at price so if it is successful production will begin Production will have to deliver on that price so the supply chain must be solid
David Smith is Vice President of Engineering and Innovation at MultiTech Systems
They also know that they have to help product development teams move through prototyping to pilots quickly The prototypes can get early user feedback and allow forecasts of costs But the sweet spot of innovation is where users want the new product and are willing to pay a price that sustains the business In the IoT sustaining the business is complicated by recurring expense and revenue This is where the pilot comes in The pilot validates the product and the business model
PoCs are not bad but they are not often necessary in business today Perhaps the best example of this is a place where PoCs are the lifeblood of the company Google X Their mission is to make moon shots learn from failure and solve grand problems with approaches no one else is willing to try If your mission is similar then PoCs are great If you are under pressure to grow and generate new forms of revenue using digital technology beware the PoC

As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues its rapid pace of growth therersquos been no shortage of inflated
expectations Platforms promising to ease the development deployment and management of IoT systems are
now counted in the hundreds You might believe that all you have to do is pick a platform you like the best from
the vendor you trust the most and go build your IoT system Well the story is not so simple
In reality nearly all of the IoT platforms available are designed to only support cloud-centric architectures These platforms centralize the ldquointelligencerdquo in the cloud and require data to be conveyed from the edge to do anything useful with it Considering the success of this cloud-centric model in IT (and in some IoT applications like fleet management) you may wonder whatrsquos the big deal
Simply put cloud-centric architectures arenrsquot applicable to a large class of IoT applications Most notably cloud-centric architectures fall short in supporting Industrial IoT (IIoT) sys-tems and struggle with more demanding Consumer IoT (CIoT) applications
The scariest part is that the situation will only get worse with the predicted increase in the number of connected things But there are some things more fundamental limiting cloud-centric architecturesrsquo applicability for IoT systems
Connectivity ndash Cloud-centric architectures assume that sufficient connectivity exists from the things to the cloud This is necessary for collecting the data from the edge and for pushing insight or control actions from the cloud to the edge Yet connectivity
is hard to guarantee for several IoTIIoT applications such as smart autonomous consumer and agricultural vehicles As you can imagine connectivity may be taken for granted in metropolitan areas but not so much in rural areas
Bandwidth ndash Cloud-centric computing assumes that sufficient bandwidth exists to ingest the data from the edge into the data center The challenge here is that several IIoT applications produce incredible volumes of data For instance a factory can easily produce a terabyte of data per day and these numbers will only grow with the continued digitalization of factories
Latency ndash Therersquos a large class of IIoT systems for which the latency required to send data to the cloud make decisions and eventually send data toward the edge to act on these decisions may be completely incompatible with the dynamics of the underlying system A key difference between IT and IoTIIoT is that the latter deals with physical entities As such the reaction time must be compatible with the dynamics of the physical entity or process with which the application interacts Failing to react with the proper latency can lead to system instability infrastructure damage or even put human operators at risk

The IoT needs fog computingBy Angelo Corsaro
wwwiotdesignembedded-computingcom IoT Design Guide 2016 23
Cost ndash In the age of smartphones and very cheap data plans most people assume that the cost of connectivity is negligible The reality is quite different in IIoT due to either bandwidth requirements or connectivity points While in consumer applications the individual person (the consumer) pays for connectivity in most IoTIIoT applications (such as smart grids) itrsquos the operator who foots the bill As a result cost is usually carefully accounted for as it has an impact on operating expense and consequently on operational costs and margins
Security ndash Finally even assuming that all the above-listed issues are addressed a large class of IoTIIoT applications are not comfortable with or are incapable due to regulation of pushing their data to a cloud
Unless you can guarantee that the connectivity bandwidth latency cost and security requirements of your application are compatible with a cloud-centric architecture you need a dif-ferent paradigm and 999 percent of the IoT platforms avail-able on the market are not of much use
Fog computing is emerging as the main paradigm to address the connectivity bandwidth latency cost and security chal-lenges imposed by cloud-centric architectures The main idea behind fog computing is to provide elastic compute storage and communication close to the things so that data neednrsquot be sent all the way to the cloud or at least not all data and not all the time And the infrastructure is designed ground-up to deal with cyber- physical systems (CPS) as opposed to IT systems In other words the infrastructure is designed to consider the constraints imposed by the interactions with the physical world in terms of latency determinism load balancing and fault-tolerance
Defining fog computingTwo trends that are at the core of the IIoT revolution are soft-warization and digital twins
Softwarization is a trend that is disrupting several industries Its mantra is the replacement of specialized hardware implementa-tions such as a programmable logic controller (PLC) on an indus-trial floor with software running in a virtualized environment
Digital twins as the name hints are a digital representation (computerized model) of a physical entity (such as a compressor or a turbine) that is animated through the live data coming from its physical brother or sister Digital twins have several applications such as monitoring diagnostics and prognostics Additionally Digital twins provide useful insights to RampD teams for improving next-generation designs as well as continuously ameliorating the fidelity of their models
As softwarization transforms specialized hardware into soft-ware it creates an opportunity for convergence and consolida-tion If we take as an example soft PLCs (ie softwarized PLCs) all of a sudden they can be deployed on commodity hardware in a virtualized environment and decoupled from the IO logic that can remain closer to the source of data As a side note
the general idea of softwarization applied to the factory floor is often referred to as software-defined machines or software-defined automation
As a result of softwarization and digital twins there is an opportunity for modernizing the factory floor consolidating its hardware and improving availability productivity manage-ability resilience to failure and innovation agility In essence as a result of softwarization there is the opportunity to manage these systems as a data center As softwarization is a trend that is impacting a large class of industries it is worth highlighting that the transformations described above along with its ben-efits are not just limited to industrial automation But there is a catch the large majority of these systems whether in the industrial transportation or medical domains are subject to the performance constraints previously discussed
These systems interact with the physical world and as such they need to react at the pace imposed by the physical entity with which they interact As a consequence while traditional cloud infrastructure would be functionally perfect to address these use cases it turns out to be inadequate as it is typi-cally not designed with these non-functional requirements in mind and is often too heavyweight Cloud infrastructures were designed for IT systems in which a delay in the response time may create a bored or upset customer but will not cause a robot arm to smash against a wall another machine or worse
Now it should be clear that fog computing is not just about applying distributed computing to the edge Fog computing is about providing an infrastructure that while virtualizing elastic compute storage and communication is able to address the non-functional properties characteristic of these domains
Fog computing makes it possible to provision and manage softwarized hardware (eg a soft PLC digital twins analytics and anything else that may need to run on the system) while ensuring the proper non-functional requirements and bringing all the benefits listed above in terms of convergence manage-ability availability agility and efficiency improvement
Fog computing provides a flexible infrastructure to provision deploy monitor and manage software at the edge This should clarify how just deploying some logic on an edge gateway isnrsquot fog computing and neither is fog computing traditional dis-tributed computing

Fluid computing Unifying cloud fog and mist computingWhat is mist computing As the name implies mist is closer to the ground than fog which in turn is closer to the ground than the cloud But beside the meteorological analogies what does this really mean As yoursquove probably guessed this means that mist computing is about bringing elastic compute storage and communication directly onto the things Thus if we continue with the meteorological analogy cloud infrastructure is high in the data center fog infrastructure is between the things and the cloud and mist infrastructure is simply the things
The goals of mist computing essentially are two
1 Enabling resource harvesting by exploiting the computation storage and communication capabilities available on the things
2 Allowing arbitrary computations to be provisioned deployed managed and monitored on the things
As you can imagine things in IoT applications are extremely heterogeneous in terms of platforms resources and con-nectivity Thus the main challenge for mist infrastructures is to be sufficiently lightweight to be able to establish a fabric that virtualizes compute storage and communication without consuming too many resources
If we look from a distance at a generic IoTIIoT system we will realize that from an infrastructural perspective we will have to deal with data centers that are in a public or private cloud edge infrastructure and the actual things IoTIIoT systems will need to exploit resources that span these three tiers and provi-sion deploy monitor and manage applications and services across the tiers On the other hand if we look at the techno-logical landscape there is a complete fragmentation between the technologies used for cloud computing fog computing and the emerging mist computing This fragmentation makes it difficult to establish a unified end-to-end perspective of the system and it makes it practically impossible to treat the system as a uniform and virtualized compute storage and communication fabric
At this point the question is ldquoWhat can we do about itrdquo
The first step toward addressing a problem is recognizing it To this end that means raising awareness about the challenges that this fragmentation may induce The second step is to establish a vision of how the problem can be solved so that the industry can internalize it and eventually address it
Letrsquos focus for a moment on what would make sense for the user of an IoTIIoT platform as opposed to the technical details of whether cloud fog or mist is the right answer
From a high-level perspective why should a designer of an IoTIIoT application care whether he or she will be using cloud fog or mist computing paradigms The only thing that really matters is that the platform provides a way to provision
manage and monitor applications in such a way that appli-cations can meet their functional and non-functional require-ments The functional and non-functional requirements drive the allocation of applications on things fog or cloud layers ndash but anything else is just a detail isnrsquot it
Fluid computing is an architectural principle based on the abstraction of the topological details of the computational infrastructure Fluid architectures provide an end-to-end fabric that can be used to seamlessly provision deploy manage and monitor applications regardless of whether the underlying resource is provided by the cloud infrastructure the fog infra-structure or by things
Fluid computing unifies under a single abstraction of cloud fog and mist computing In other words cloud fog and mist computing can be seen as application of fluid computing in a specific bounded context
As the IoTIIoT market evolves expect a convergence of cloud fog and mist computing platforms toward a fluid computing platform This convergence will be necessary if not essential to accelerate the adoption of IoT

CIA and TPM to secure the IoTBy Guenther Fischer
CIA TPM and IoT You might ask what these three acronyms have in common and how they relate to each other
To make a long story short it is all about security trust and reliability
The abbreviation CIA in this context does not mean the Central Intelligence Agency It is an abbreviation for Confidentiality Integrity and Authenticity The so-called CIA principle is a simple but widely used security model covering three key tenets that should be guaranteed by all secure systems
Confidentiality is intended in the sense of hiding information from people not authorized to view it It is perhaps the most obvious aspect of the CIA model when it comes to security At the same time it is also the one most under attack Cryptographic symmetric and asymmetric encryption methods are examples of means to ensure confidentiality when transmitting data from one computer system to another
Integrity on the other hand represents the certainty that data is accurate and not changed on its journey from the original sender to the intended receiver A common security attack often called a man-in-the-middle attack intercepts data and makes changes to it before passing it on to the intended receiver Cryptographic digital signature methods are one way to attest the integrity of code and data
In addition authenticity is needed to address the concern about genuine information In other words you want to make sure the information you receive actually comes from the source that claims to be its genuine origin Cryptographic digital certificates are used to prove the authenticity of the issuer
Now that we understand why CIA is important for a secure system letrsquos move to the third acronym IoT
After many years of being an overhyped marketing term the so-called Internet of Things (IoT) is starting to become mature and real Mark Weiser created the term ldquoubiquitous computingrdquo first in his famous Scientific American article ldquoThe Computer for the 21st Centuryrdquo pub lished September 1991 His thinking was so ahead of his time that it seemed like science fiction to most of his readers In 2016 his vision has become reality Ubiquitous computing (or ubicomp for short) became todayrsquos ndash perhaps overhyped ndash IoT
Weiser started his article ldquoThe most profound technologies are those that disappear They weave themselves into the fabric of

everyday life until they are indistinguishable from itrdquo He pre-dicted that computing devices would become commonplace and part of all aspects of life and he was right Just consider for example the consumer gadgets like fitness bands smart watches smart phones or navigation systems that send and receive data all day long Or consider the home which is con-nected to a power grid where a smart meter allows the energy provider to effectively calculate the resources needed to cover the demand of all households Interconnected computing devices are everywhere nowadays
Shifting focus to industrial applications todayrsquos business IoT applications are developed together with devices and services coming from various sectors of industry information tech-nology automation and production technology aerospace maritime and naval systems railways car manufacturers and their suppliers energy providers agricultural medical tech-nology and building automation All of those share character-istics including long life in the field reliability and robustness in harsh environments and reliable long-term availability
IoT systems rely on public networks but public networks are not secure environments While IoT creates new capabilities and services allows greater efficiencies increases flexibility and enables the customization of single production units it also opens up previously closed systems and allows attackers to get access to those systems from the outside world
Attackers often use reverse engineering techniques to iden-tify software vulnerabilities which they can exploit to create counterfeit products steal sensitive data or tamper with the device for sabotage and espionage purposes This can lead to serious and dangerous hacks as recent attacks on safety-critical automotive aerospace and medical components have shown
This brings us back to the CIA principle we started with The only way to avoid situations like those listed above is to apply

the CIA security model to the world of IoT devices As we have learned CIA is built around cryprograhic operations Todayrsquos modern cryprography leverages standard crypto protocols The Dutch cryptographer Auguste Kerckhoffs stated a maxim in the 19th century that would become known as Kerckhoffsrsquo principle A cryptosystem should be secure even if everything about the system except for the key is public knowledge
I repeat everything is public knowledge except for the key which is needed to encrypt and decrypt the content either directly or in a derived form So how do you store a key in a secure manner This brings me to the second acronym TPM the Trusted Platform Module
In the world of cryptography there is a ton of other acronyms referring to the various protocols and methods that are used to ensure the CIA principle To name just a few of them you have DES AES for symmetric cryptography and RSA ECC for asymmetric cryptography The list of acronyms goes on and on The really important part however is that the algorithms themselves are typically not secret they are publicly available just as Kerckhoffsrsquo principle demands it The only part that really needs to be kept secret is the key itself This sounds simple but it is pretty hard to achieve To keep the key secret you need a secure place like a safe which we will call a secure element to securely store the key A TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is such a secure element and it offers a lot more including the crypto protocols
In a nutshell a TPM is a specialized and dedicated device that offers crypto operations and secure storage for secret keys all in one This allows you to store the key in a secure place and even more importantly it allows the key to stay there so it never leaves its secure location All important crypto operations are done inside of the TPM itself and only the results are exposed This prevents the key from getting compromised In case you want to know why it is important to have this dedicated functionality separated in a dedicated device I recommend you to read the following two articles These should make it obvious how impor-tant it is to have a dedicated secure element like a TPM inside a computing device to make it secure trustable and reliable
So how can incidents like these be prevented Use technology that creates secured code and licenses that can be bound to a secure element in the target system ensuring that the code and the licensed features can only be used on an individual system License creation and deployment can be integrated into existing business processes such as ERP systems or e-commerce platforms This mechanism opens up new business models such as feature-on-demand upselling and time-based or pay-per-use licenses for the IoT and other intelligent devices The result is improved security from attacks malware theft and other malfeasance for code and IP

Device Management in the Internet of Things Why It Matters and How to Achieve It Data may be the hero of the Internet of Things (IoT) story but the real workhorses are the devices at the edge of the IoT system Theyrsquove been deployed to generate and transmit data to a centralized platform or to perform an automated task that in turn generates data The perfor-mance of the system as a whole often hinges on the health of these devices If a device sensor embedded agent or gateway begins faltering the consequences can range from minor disruption to dire
REMOTE CONTROL FOR THE DEVICE LIFECYCLEFrom the initial design stage device manufacturers and system developers need to take into account a devicersquos entire operating lifecycle from the time it is deployed until it is decommissioned Over that time several distinct but interrelated issues need to be addressed
Commissioning and provisioning Once devices are deployed and connected operators must activate and provision them This can mean literally going from device to device with a thumb drive and loading applications or performing upgrades manually System operators need the means to configure provision and manage field devices remotely
Security Hackers often target endpoint devices as a means of gaining entry to the system as a whole Security breaches at the device level can have severe conse-quences including steep financial losses damage to cred-ibility and trust or even endangerment of human life Securing devices is particularly problematic because they are vulnerable to both physical tampering and network- borne threats
Monitoring and management System operators need tools to monitor the health and performance of devices remotely and check for security vulnerabilities They also need to be able to send ldquoinstructionsrdquo to devices to fix a problem or change a function often based on data that has been received from those same devices This requires a two-way or ldquoround-triprdquo communication capability in which responses to the devices can be automated
Integration IoT systems that generate and deliver data from field devices need a point of integration with enter-prise systems that can aggregate analyze and act upon that data
Updates and upgrades Devices in enterprise applica-tions may be expected to operate and perform for years The software running on them likely will require constant updating bug fixes and security patches They will also require periodic software upgrades both to avoid per-formance degradation and to take advantage of software improvements that will bring greater speed capacity and efficiency Once an upgrade or a new application has been developed operators need the means to deploy it quickly to many devices at a time
Decommissioning Developers need to plan for the end of the devicersquos life at the design stage Operators need to be able to securely remove a device from service ensuring that it is truly ldquodeadrdquo and does not expose a vulnerability that intruders could exploit
THE ANSWER IN THE CLOUDDevice management should be part of an IoT strategy from inception But trying to build capabilities for device management and two-way communication increases the cost and complexity of development and slows time-to-deployment
A more practical solution is to leverage technology designed specifically for IoT device deployment and management Wind Riverreg Helixtrade Device Cloud makes this possible by enabling operators to safely and securely monitor manage service and update devices in the field
Device Cloud automatically collects and integrates data from hundreds or thousands of disparate devices machines and systems enabling operators to track device status and content share data among engineers and proactively determine when updates are needed

The Internet of Things (IoT) has been touted as the next Industrial Revolution with pervasive connectivity and the insights it can generate offering a new digital lens for viewing and managing the physical world But in addition to the tangible process efficiencies and quality of life improvements expected from the IoT itrsquos also a stepping stone to perhaps the greatest achievement in human history artificial intelligence (AI)
In many ways the technological progression of AI and the IoT are intertwined IoT will provide the information that fuels our data-driven economy while AI is the engine that will consume it Though both paradigms are still in their infancy eachrsquos suc-cess is contingent upon the otherrsquos The IoT can never reach its potential without a mechanism for autonomously processing large heterogeneous data sets just as AI is incapable of expanding without being fed massive amounts of data
Like many other IoT-enabling technologies however AI research and development has largely been restricted to the IT sector as the complexity of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) hidden Markov models (HMMs) natural language pro-cessing and other disciplines used in the creation of machine learning algorithms and deep neural networks (DNNs) requires storage and computing resources usually only accessible on a data center scale Likewise programming methodologies have been tuned to IT developers with tools such as R Python SQL Excel RapidMiner Hadoop Spark and Tableau being the most widely employed by data analysts and computer scientists working in the AI field
This gap between AI and data collection at the physicaldigital interchange is a common complication for the IoT which is just beginning to drive the integration of IT and operational tech-nology (OT) Nonetheless itrsquos a gap that must be bridged
AI for the embedded IoTOne of AIrsquos early excursions into the OT space came with the release of the NVIDIA Jetson TK1 platform in 2014 Based on the Tegra K1 system on chip (SoC) and its 192-core Kepler GPU and quad-core ARM Cortex-A15 the Jetson TK1 brought data center-level compute performance to computer vision robotics and automotive applications but also provided embedded engineers with a development platform for the CUDA Deep Neural Network (cuDNN) library The cuDNN primitives enabled operations such as activation functions forward and backward convolution normalization and tensor transformations required for DNN training and inferencing and the combination of this technology with the Jetson TK1rsquos 10 W power envelope meant
that deep learning frameworks such as Caffe and Torch could be accessed and executed on smaller OT devices
Today that groundwork has been extended as the Jetson TK1rsquos successor the Jetson TX1 system on module (SoM) contains 256 CUDA cores an ARM Cortex-A57 CPU and is capable of 1 TFLOPS performance Machine learning tools and libraries are also more widely available through the NVIDIA JetPack 23 an evolution of the original set of cuDNN libraries that better serves OT developers by packaging the CUDA Toolkit 8 devel-opment environment for building GPU-based applications in C and C++ camera and Video4Linux2 (V4L2) APIs the TensorRT inferencing engine and cuDNN 51 which now sup-ports recurrent neural networks (RNNs) and long short-term memory (LSTM) networks An NVIDIA benchmark shows that optimizations in the Jetson TX1 and JetPack 23 can permit up to 20 times better energy efficiency than CPUs running com-parable deep learning workloads while still maintaining an 8-10 W power draw on the TX1 under typical workloads
Never stop learningAs the IoT produces data for the AI revolution the need to monitor the progression of machine learning technologies has also become apparent This not only ensures that intelligent sys-tems endowed with learning capabilities properly pursue the objectives of their education but also that human developers properly refine the underlying frameworks and libraries upon which machine learning is based to meet desired end goals
For this purpose Cornell Computer Science PhD Jason Yosinski created the Deep Visualization Toolbox an open-source project that allows users to observe the various layers of a DNN to infer how machine learning platforms compute answers to complex problems A video demonstration of the Deep Visualization Toolbox running on the Jetson TX1 devel-oper kit can be viewed in the web version of this article at httpbitlyAIforIoT and for those of you fortunate enough to be visiting CES in 2017 NVIDIA typically showcases deep learning technologies at its automotive booth in North Hall

Digital certificates such as X509 used by the transport layer security (TLS) protocol are ingrained in
almost every aspect of our digital lives Whether sending a secure e-mail checking a bank account balance or
performing any other action that requires an encrypted online connection these certificates authenticate the
identity of parties involved in the electronic exchange of information to prevent for example man-in-the-middle
attacks whereby a malicious actor impersonates one entity and potentially alters or misrepresents the content
being exchanged
AWS Microchip deliver trust anchor for end-to-end IoT securityBy Brandon Lewis Technology Editor
Certification authorities (CAs) sign digital certificates as proof that they have validated a root certificate containing an entityrsquos public key which is mathematically associated with a unique private key that remains secret as part of an entityrsquos asymmetric publicprivate key pair (Figures 1A and 1B) This key exchange and verification mechanism between user and CA instills confidence in any recipient of the digital certificate that its sender is in fact who they attest to be
However outside of the enterpriseIT community digital certificates have primarily been used to validate servers only Client authentication is typically not implemented in most applications because it requires certificate provisioning for large sets of heterogeneous end users which complicates the management of a public key infra-structure (PKI) But with the Internet of Things (IoT) introducing billions of clients that not only retrieve information from the cloud but also send data to it the requirement for mutual authentication ndash or the immediate two-way authentication of both clients and servers ndash has steadily increased to ensure overall system integrity
AWS mutual authentication and Just-In-Time RegistrationWith the release of the AWS IoT platform last year Amazon Web Services (AWS) intro-duced mutual authentication to the IoT space As mentioned mutual authentication
technology helps verify the integrity of all parties in a system of systems archi-tecture but also introduces problems related to certificate provisioning for client-side devices
In response AWS released a service this April called ldquoUse Your Own Certificaterdquo which allows original equipment manu-facturers (OEMs) to register digital certificates signed by a third-party CA with the AWS IoT platform using an API The Use Your Own Certificate feature implies that the key exchange required for the creation of a digital certificate can occur independent of a client con-nection with AWS IoT servers and per-haps even before the device itself is connected to the Internet introducing a

new possibility for OEMs Unique cryp-tographic keys can be generated for each device during production signed by a CA as part of an offline digital cer-tificate verification process and then loaded into the AWS IoT platform to await a service request from systems containing the corresponding key pairs This process also lays the groundwork for the latest capability in the AWS IoT portfolio Just-In-Time Registration (JITR) announced in August
JITR is somewhat of a turning point for the IoT in that as the term implies devices can automatically connect to and be recognized by the AWS IoT cloud the first time they request service from the platform This type of immediate autonomous onboarding of devices with cloud services is critical given the pro-jected number of IoT connections but is contingent upon the devices connecting being pre-equipped with unique trusted
private keys in order to enable services such as the Use Your Own Certificate API and to prevent impersonation attacks (Figure 2) It also requires that devices be equipped with the correct server configurations and policies to help facilitate the onboarding process which must also be kept secure
FIGURE 2Just-in-time registration (JITR) allows devices to connect with AWS IoT servers the first time they attempt a service connection but requires that the Use Your Own Certificate API be leveraged first to upload device certificates into AWS IoT

The challenge of device manufacturers is to ensure that these keys and poli-cies remain secret and secure from the time a device is manufactured through the onboarding process and even after a product reaches end of life (EOL) Previously this has been attempted through the installation of hardware security modules (HSMs) in secure rooms at factories periodic factory security audits and time box proto-cols that attempt to define an accept-able onboarding period for devices Unfortunately these methods tend to be either expensive or inexact and also donrsquot account for threats that could compromise systems deployed in the field such as physical tampering
Hardware-based elliptic curve cryptography anchors trust in IoT 2016 has also seen significant news from the other side of the IoT technology spectrum as semiconductor vendor Microchip acquired competitor Atmel for approximately $36 billion earlier this year Among other technologies the pur-chase netted Microchip access to Atmelrsquos portfolio of security ICs including elliptic curve cryptography-based (ECC-based) CryptoAuthentication devices such as the ECC508A (Figure 3)
The ECC508A is noteworthy in the framework of AWS IoTrsquos mutual authen-tication Use Your Own Certificate and JITR capabilities in that the elliptic curve
Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) key agreement protocol it employs enables the internal gener-ation and storage of private keys These keys remain protected through the life of the device due to tamper-resistant architectural features of the chip including internally encrypted memory isolated power rails a memory and logic shield internal clock generation and a lack of probe points that protect against real-world threats such as emissions analysis microprobe power cycling and timing attacks This secure storage space can also be used to house pre-configured AWS server policies resulting in a device that contains all of the information needed for digital certificate authentication and onboarding required by JITR
As seen in wolfSSLrsquos wolfCrypt benchmark of an embedded SSLTLS stack running on the ECC508A the hardware-based crypto acceleration of the chip also offloads encryption tasks from a host processor resulting in improved overall system perfor-mance (Figure 4)
ECC508A and AWS IoT The processAs discussed previously private keys are mathematically correlated with the public keys required for the creation of digital certificates Therefore the ECC508A becomes the root of trust for any device that equips it
In the context of a mutually authenticated AWS IoT deployment leveraging the ECC508A Microchip can act as the CA both generating and signing device certifi-cates in parallel as part of the certificate chain verification process for an IoT OEM
The ECC508A is a 2 mm x 3 mm tamper-resistant CryptoAuthentication device based on elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) cryptography algorithms that provide hardware-based cryptographic key generation storage and countermeasures

The OEM would then load the resulting digital certificates into their AWS IoT account through the Use Your Own Certificate API where they would remain until an incoming TLS request from a device containing the partnered ECC508A key pair triggers the JITR process
The procedure from key generation through cloud onboarding requires a one-time setup shown in Figure 5 As keys are generated in a secure Microchip facility and the key management infrastructure is already in place OEMs are able to access robust security and automatic cloud authentication by adding a single component to their bill of materials (BoM)
Dropping anchor on IoT securitySecurity is essential to the continued rollout of IoT in every market and discrete solutions that allow device makers to separate security from business functions and value adds will enable more innovative products in the future An ECC508A evaluation kit is available for interested parties through Microchip and distribu-tors such as DigiKey and Mouser with trials and tutorials of AWS IoT accessible at awsamazoncomiot

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) promises to deliver a step change in efficiency and a leap towards
autonomy for industrial automation and other sectors such as security and surveillance and building management
The prospect of self-monitoring self-managing factories and manufacturing processes is no longer beyond the
distant horizon The ability to remotely identify monitor and control every individual device in a manufacturing
process network with minimal or no human intervention offers opportunities that were beyond comprehension just
a decade ago ndash even in the eyes of engineers working at the very forefront of industrial manufacturing technology
Advances in sensing connectivity and control fuel IIoT designsBy Wiren Perera
The key drivers of the IIoT are more measurement of an expanding number of parameters fast and extensive analysis of and reactions to data and accelerated enhancements to processes Successful IIoT design and management can mean continuously optimized efficiency reduced operating costs and more resilient self-learning processes At the fulcrum of this are a number of semiconductor technolo-gies on offer and in development at some of the worldrsquos top electronic component manufacturers
Vision-based sensing and energy harvestingSensors are at the heart of the IIoT gathering more and more data But to measure more we need to sense more ndash more parameters more accurately and more often Overlaying software on established technologies can bring incremental gains but to make the necessary advances we need to add more parameters with accuracy as each additional parameter can make a system smarter
Sensor technology that measures ldquotraditionalrdquo parameters such as temperature light position level humidity and pressure continues to advance But despite becoming smaller more cost-effective and often embedded each sensor is dedicated and hence limited in its functionality and versatility Vision-based sensing enables a new paradigm Corollary to the concept of ldquoa picture is worth a thousand wordsrdquo once a machine can ldquoseerdquo much more is possible much faster
With vision sensing programmability brings flexibility enabling a single vision system to sense missing or misplaced components and other process vari-ables The trend towards vision-based sensing ndash both still and video ndash will make future systems more intelligent flexible and ultimately more valuable
Current advances in machine vision in many situations can provide better sight than the human eye Coupled with the reduction in risks associated with human error it enables a new degree of adapt-ability and speed for reconfigurable production processes This could be any-thing from optimization based on real-time events to the reconfiguration of a system that may allow multiple products to be made on a single line They only require a simple change from one control

FIGURE 1 ON Semiconductorrsquos Smart Passive Sensor family are wireless energy harvesting sensors that can function autonomously in space-constrained environments
program to the next and the system is ready to run This has obvious cost time and labor benefits and reduces the risks associated with error
However the distributed nature of the IIoT and the requirement to place mul-tiple sensors at various points of mea-surement presents another challenge the reliable delivery of power
Successful sensors especially those utilized in IIoT designs have four basic attributes they need to be self-pow-ered collect data broadcast their status and have the ability to connect Wireless sensors with the ability to harvest energy (ie self-powered) are essential if the IIoT is to advance and realize its potential Wireless energy harvesting solutions such as ON Semiconductorrsquos Smart Passive Sensors are an example of technology that can meet these require-ments (Figure 1) These devices can be deployed in hard-to-access space- constrained environments with no direct power source allowing them to function autonomously
Instant access to dataSensors gather data and then post-pro-cessing and analytics generate valuable information along with the ability to control factories and processes
The processing of large sustained flows of data associated with real-time sensing for the IIoT is reliant on the cloud This analysis requires platforms that can store large data sets across distributed clus-ters often combining and processing data from many geographically dis-persed sources In global organizations for example a problem in a Chinese smart factory can trigger an almost in- stantaneous process improvement in a similar factory located somewhere else in the world
Advances in secure communications and authentication also allow mobile devices to connect to these networks bringing opportunities for instantaneous access to information Flexible access can then drive value into the business and its relationships with the outside world In
fact this IToperational technology (OT) integration as shown in Figure 2 has the potential to bring the greatest benefits to a broad range of industrial automation applications
Combining sensing connectivity and actuationMany industrial control systems are very sophisticated and require accurate or careful often rapid positioning This could mean anything from the speed and direction of a cooling fan to a motor or servo that adjusts a valve position or a stepper motor for linear or angular positioning in a precision task Alongside the rapid development of sensing for the IIoT the actuators and their controllers that provide the physical reac-tions to gathered analyzed data are seeing similar advancements
However integrated manufacturing processes require a broad range of sensing tech-nologies be combined with connectivity and actuation which creates design and expertise challenges Fully integrated hardware and software development platforms that combine these elements are crucial to help speed and ease the customization of specific functions for adoption into end products Modularity makes these platforms extensible to new IoTIIoT functions and devices that are based on new advances allowing more rapid adoption (Figure 3 page 14) Open-source support is also impor-tant since a broad ecosystem and interoperability are crucial for the IoTrsquos success
FIGURE 2 ITOT integration will yield benefits to industrial automation companies through the concatenation of distributed personnel and assets

Sensors data processing and actuators are all significant building blocks of an IIoT application However without a means to communicate share data and transmit receive and execute instructions the IIoT cannot function
Considering the IIoTrsquos unique requirements not all standards and protocols are satis-factory The technologies suitable for smartphone personal area networks (PANs) or single-supplier standards are unlikely to be successful Instead itrsquos important for IIoT
platforms to demonstrate flexibility by supporting a broad array of standards including Thread SIGFOX EnOcean M-Bus KNX ZigBee and proprietary protocols The adoption of a software-defined radio (SDR) approach allows a single platform to support multiple pro-tocols which will be a requirement for platforms designed support multiple applications
ZigBee and Thread are complementary 802154 standards and a liaison relationship between the two industry organizations should help drive broad adoption of these protocols within smart home applications Thread is an IP-based (IPv6) networking protocol built on open standards for low-power mesh networks that can easily and securely connect hundreds of devices to each other and directly to the cloud Security and interoperability are two of Threadrsquos key value-added capabilities
Conversely SIGFOX enables wide-area networks (WANs) that provide relatively low bandwidth communications with fixed or mobile smart objects or sensors deployed over large areas Example applications for this protocol include the nationwide tracking of shipping containers or vehicles and communication with geographically spread assets such as smart-city equipment or oil pumps and pipelines
Technology convergence for the IIoTAt the core of achieving the IIoTrsquos true potential will be the effective interplay and connection of sensing computing and control technologies in robust energy-efficient implementations Every facet of technology is evolving towards this goal with both discrete solutions and integrated development platforms that are enabling embedded and IoT design engineers to transform yester-dayrsquos vision of automated self- managing industry into todayrsquos reality

IoT developers often consider faster time-to-market and lower product maintenance costs when deploying firmware update mechanisms as the capability allows them to stage feature roll-outs enabledisable features or functionality on devices in the field fix firmware bugs after a product has been released reduce the need for expensive technical support and enable better overall end user experiences However if proper security measures are not in place this feature may be misused and the consequences of a successful exploitation can be disastrous ranging from intellectual property (IP) theft and product cloning all the way to unauthor-ized control of the deployed system For example a successful exploitation of firmware update mechanisms that do not support verifying a new firmware imagersquos authenticity in a hospital drug pump can lead to a hacker tampering with the dos-ages of drugs delivered to patients
Firmware updates and their vulnerabilitiesFigure 1 shows a typical firmware update process The steps include
1 The product manufacturer creates and loads an initial firmware image into the device in a trusted environment
2 The product is deployed with the initial firmware into the field
3 When a firmware update is required the product manufacturer creates a new firmware image
4 The manufacturer sends the new firmware image to the end usertechnician or to the product directly through an untrusted communication channel
5 The new firmware is loaded onto the device in the field
In Figure 1 potential security threats are apparent during the ldquotransportrdquo phase when new firmware is transferred via an untrusted communication channel or during the ldquofirmware loadingrdquo phase when the new firmware is downloaded onto the device in the field
The new firmware image being down-loaded to the device corresponds to the IP of the product manufacturer and the target asset Threats to this asset include
1 Reverse engineering of the firmware binary image into assembly or a higher level engineering language to analyze its functionality and contents
2 Product cloning where a firmware image from the product manufacturer is loaded onto a device that is not authorized
3 Alteration of the firmware distributed by the product manufacturer
4 Loading an unauthorized firmware image onto the device which may correspond to an older firmware version from the product manufacturer with known bugs or code created by an unauthorized party or firmware not intended for the specific device (firmware downgrading)
5 Interrupting the firmware update process such that the firmware is only partially updated resulting in a device being unavailable for service
It is evident that the aforementioned threats can have disastrous conse-quences for the product manufacturer service provider and end user thus indi-cating an intense need for embedded designers to strongly consider measures that increase the overall security of the firmware update mechanism

Secure firmware update considerations for ultra-low power MCUsBy Bhargavi Nisarga and Luis Reynoso
16 IoT Design Guide 2016 wwwiotdesignembedded-computingcom
In-field firmware updates are an increasingly
popular feature in microcontroller-based
(MCU-based) applications These updates
enable new firmware images to be downloaded
onto a devicersquos memory providing an effective way
for product manufacturers to offer services and support to products that are already deployed in the
field The Internet of Things (IoT) era is driving increased connectivity in the embedded world making
this one of the most crucial features for todayrsquos connected products ndash so long as they are secure
Secure firmware update considerations for design engineersFigure 2 shows an example representation of network-connected systems In this case the new firmware image is transferred either from the product manufacturer
FIGURE 2A secure firmware update includes security measures dictated by the interface protocols used for network communications as well as application-level security that ensures firmware images are secured before data enters the network
FIGURE 1 Shown here is a typical firmware update process
(eg a new feature roll-out or firmware bug fix) or the service provider (eg to enabledisable features or services in a product) to the end nodes over local or wide area networks (LANsWANs) and may involve authentication from end user applications (eg via mobile devices and web applications) to per-form the firmware update
Embedded systems engineers designing firmware update capabilities for IoT sys-tems need to not only understand the assets that need to be protected and the potential threats but also the capa-bilities and limitations of their system especially as they pertain to cost per-formance or power consumption in constrained systems As a starting point an effective security solution that incor-porates the right combination of crypto-graphic algorithms and protocol-level measures must be considered
Cryptographic algorithms provide a means of protecting the privacy of con-tent while ensuring its authenticity and integrity Not all cryptographic algo-rithms are the same but they are based on four cryptographic primitives that handle one or more components of the con-fidentiality integrity and authenticity (CIA) triad These primitives are
1 Encryption and decryption Encryption is the process by which data (plaintext) is transformed into something random and meaningless (ciphertext) while decryption performs the opposite job These primitives provide both confidentiality and authenticity and are used to prevent the reverse engineering of firmware
2 One-way functions Functions such as hash are mathematical algorithms that are easy to calculate in one direction but difficult in the other They are used to obtain a digital ldquofingerprintrdquo that ensures the integrity of firmware before it is transported into the field

3 Digital signatures Used to detect if a message was altered after it was signed thus providing not only integrity but also authentication These make use of public-key cryptography to generate a signature that can only be properly decrypted using the manufacturerrsquos public key
4 Message authentication code (MAC) Similar to a digital signature except that it uses symmetric keys to encrypt and decrypt a hash generated by the manufacturer If the hash value decrypted by the receiver matches the hash value calculated for the message then the message is valid In this way MACs provide both authenticity and integrity
Some factors that influence the selection of cryptographic algorithms include performance requirements the security needs of the system memory footprint energy consumption and reliability and acceptance of the algorithm by the security
community (such as organizations like the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST))
In addition to cryptographic algorithms protocol-level measures against threats such as firmware downgrading should be considered As mentioned previ-ously firmware downgrading is an attack in which an older defective firm-ware image (encrypted or not) is re-sent to a device in order to revert it to a vul-nerable state A version check of both the firmware and keys can ensure that only new versions are programmed during an update
An attacker can also interrupt a firmware update process using several methods (power loss physical connection failure bits flipped during transmission etc) This can lead to a device executing an incomplete or invalid firmware image rendering it useless or in a compromised state In order to address this scenario firmware update mechanisms need to ensure that an incomplete or corrupted image is not executed and if neces-sary should revert the system to a valid previously used image
Cryptographic bootloaders for connected embedded systemsFirmware updates are typically handled by the device bootloader A bootloader is a piece of code that resides on device memory and has the ability to reprogram the application memory space However finding or creating an embedded boot-loader with the security required for network-connected systems can be challenging For example a system may need the ability to update cryptographic keys so cryptographic functions and a bootloader protocol should support upgrading keys and increased network security during the firmware update pro-cess The bootloader protocol should also accommodate verifying firmware update versions and packet tracking to check if all packets of a specific firmware update image were received
As discussed the selection of a crypto-graphic algorithm is critical because it not only sets the level of security of the sys- tem but it also impacts its performance

Securing firmware for the Internet of ThingsIn summary increasingly network embedded products are creating the potential for advanced security threats making in-field firmware updates more vulnerable to remote attacks and exploitations Therefore it is important for embedded designers to consider securing their firmware update mecha-nisms through solutions that provide the right level of security while balancing the cost power and performance con-straints of IoT products

memory footprint and power consump-tion With this in mind AES-CCM repre-sents an optimal solution for embedded bootloaders AES-CCM is a cryptographic bootloader (Crypto-Bootloader) built on two cryptographic primitives AES Counter Mode (AES-CTR) for encryp-tion and cipher block chaining message
authentication code (CBC-MAC) for integrity and authenticity verification Due to the low overhead provided by AES-CCM it provides a perfect balance between increased security and low memory footprint high throughput and efficient power consumption
The selection of an MCU implementing the bootloader should not be over-looked either Designers should con-sider MCUs with features like hardware encryption engines a memory protec-tion unit (MPU) low-power peripherals and memory technologies that allow fast readwrite cycles for increased throughput The MSP430FR5969 MCU from Texas Instruments is an example of such an MCU that integrates an AES-256 co-processor to accelerate encryption algorithms MPU and MPU-IP encap-sulation (MPU-IPE) modules to enable increased protection and encapsulation of memory regions as well as up to 64 KB of FRAM memory for high performance and ultra-low power consumption The
MSP430FR5969 MCUs integrate a Crypto-Bootloader as well as MPUMPU-IPE modules and an AES-256 security co-processor

Herersquos the thing The IoT doesnrsquot need PoCs
I made this statement the other day in a product development team meeting and received looks of shock and disbelief The company with whom I was working has customers asking for help solving a specific problem and we had a multi-disciplinary team reviewing the architecture for a solution The looks I got said ldquoHow can we begin a product development without a PoCrdquo The answer is easy when you consider the definition of a PoC
According to Wikipedia ldquoA proof of concept is a realization of a certain method or idea to demonstrate its feasibility or a demonstration in principle whose purpose is to verify that some concept or theory has the potential of being used A proof of concept is usually small and may or may not be completerdquo
ldquoFeasibilityrdquo is the key word here Feasibility is the role of technology in the Innovation Venn diagram (Figure 1) Is the product technically feasible Can we even make innovation function For the most part after nearly 15 cycles of Moorersquos law and two generations of the Internet this means ldquoDoes the product violate the laws of physicsrdquo
Today particularly in the IoT ecosystem anything is feasible Further one could argue that if the product is a pure software or Internet play it is by definition feasible
The harder questions for new prod-ucts today are the other two parts of the Innovation Venn Is the product
Gateway
I have heard complaints from several Internet of Things (IoT) sales and business leaders about how
proofs-of-concept (PoCs) are slowing them down In some cases they are just frustrated with how often
they are told ldquoWe need to do a PoCrdquo by a development team in response to a request to begin a new product
or offering development In other cases they are frustrated with how the tools used for PoCs ndash development
kits or Maker-ware devices like Arduino and Raspberry Pi ndash prevent them and their customers from deploying
scalable solutions once the concept is proven

desirable If so at what price Is the business viable These are the tough questions facing new offerings today
Therersquos the rub A PoC does nothing to address user desirability or busi-ness viability A PoC only addresses technology
ldquoYoursquove just renamed the PoC as a prototyperdquo you say But therersquos a big difference between the two
In a PoC the developer is not con-strained by manufacturing costs or user acceptance The issue is simple Can I make this offering work Maker tools are excellent for this This is one of the reasons by the way that when one looks for Maker products most of the suppliers are targeting educational organizations Education is about one example one proof that something works one PoC
A prototype however is the first itera-tion of the new product A prototype is built to a product requirements docu-ment (PRD) and that PRD has manu-facturing supply chain constraints certification constraints user experience needs and cost expectations One-off tools like Arduino or Raspberry Pi were not designed for these constraints So when a product development is started with a PoC and uses Maker tools the

development process comes to halt after the proof There is no certification path no manufacturing supply chain and no ability to meet user experience constraints ndash par-ticularly where form factor is critical
The IoT has put a slightly different spin on the product development process because of the addition of an ongoing user-supported experience Business models depend upon ongoing revenue so innovators have to address this need during development This is the role of the pilot The pilot puts the product in a sales-ready format into the hands of enough users in context to measure their adoption of sustained use of and willingness to pay for the product Figure 2 outlines the roles of PoCs prototypes and pilots in the product development process The fastest progression for product development for the IoT is PoC rarr Prototype(s) rarr Pilot rarr Product
The good news is that good suppliers of the IoT technology stack know that their offerings have to work in production have to scale and have to pass rigorous testing

Sometimes small changes make a big difference Switching your organizationrsquos thinking from proof-of-concept to proof-of-innovation is one of those changes
Three ways to tell you are wasting time with a PoC1 Examples of the offering exist in
either the lab or with competitors ndash Note that the example can be in other applications or markets For example self-driving cars moved immediately to prototypes because auto-piloted airplanes and drones provided the proof that the technology works for autonomous vehicle operations
2 No new hardware is needed ndash If your new offering depends upon the integration or is a software appli-cation of data then you are not doing a PoC Your technology is feasible it just may not be desirable or viable
3 None of the questions to be answered by the PoC effort involve the laws of physics
Three things that make a good pilot1 You have a sales-ready user
experience ndash An IoT pilot not only has to measure user adoption it also has to measure churn Too much churn will defeat the business To measure these characteristics with confidence across a statistically significant number of users the product must have a sales-ready user experience
2 The product is re-certification tested ndash Since the pilot product is not in fact sold it does not have to be marked UL CE FCC etc But it better be ready to mark As soon as the pilot validates adoption churn and price the sales team is going want to see products shipping so you canrsquot go back and do another spin Be ready
3 The supply chain is solid and meets cost expectations ndash The pilot will measure user adoption at price so if it is successful production will begin Production will have to deliver on that price so the supply chain must be solid
David Smith is Vice President of Engineering and Innovation at MultiTech Systems
They also know that they have to help product development teams move through prototyping to pilots quickly The prototypes can get early user feedback and allow forecasts of costs But the sweet spot of innovation is where users want the new product and are willing to pay a price that sustains the business In the IoT sustaining the business is complicated by recurring expense and revenue This is where the pilot comes in The pilot validates the product and the business model
PoCs are not bad but they are not often necessary in business today Perhaps the best example of this is a place where PoCs are the lifeblood of the company Google X Their mission is to make moon shots learn from failure and solve grand problems with approaches no one else is willing to try If your mission is similar then PoCs are great If you are under pressure to grow and generate new forms of revenue using digital technology beware the PoC

As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues its rapid pace of growth therersquos been no shortage of inflated
expectations Platforms promising to ease the development deployment and management of IoT systems are
now counted in the hundreds You might believe that all you have to do is pick a platform you like the best from
the vendor you trust the most and go build your IoT system Well the story is not so simple
In reality nearly all of the IoT platforms available are designed to only support cloud-centric architectures These platforms centralize the ldquointelligencerdquo in the cloud and require data to be conveyed from the edge to do anything useful with it Considering the success of this cloud-centric model in IT (and in some IoT applications like fleet management) you may wonder whatrsquos the big deal
Simply put cloud-centric architectures arenrsquot applicable to a large class of IoT applications Most notably cloud-centric architectures fall short in supporting Industrial IoT (IIoT) sys-tems and struggle with more demanding Consumer IoT (CIoT) applications
The scariest part is that the situation will only get worse with the predicted increase in the number of connected things But there are some things more fundamental limiting cloud-centric architecturesrsquo applicability for IoT systems
Connectivity ndash Cloud-centric architectures assume that sufficient connectivity exists from the things to the cloud This is necessary for collecting the data from the edge and for pushing insight or control actions from the cloud to the edge Yet connectivity
is hard to guarantee for several IoTIIoT applications such as smart autonomous consumer and agricultural vehicles As you can imagine connectivity may be taken for granted in metropolitan areas but not so much in rural areas
Bandwidth ndash Cloud-centric computing assumes that sufficient bandwidth exists to ingest the data from the edge into the data center The challenge here is that several IIoT applications produce incredible volumes of data For instance a factory can easily produce a terabyte of data per day and these numbers will only grow with the continued digitalization of factories
Latency ndash Therersquos a large class of IIoT systems for which the latency required to send data to the cloud make decisions and eventually send data toward the edge to act on these decisions may be completely incompatible with the dynamics of the underlying system A key difference between IT and IoTIIoT is that the latter deals with physical entities As such the reaction time must be compatible with the dynamics of the physical entity or process with which the application interacts Failing to react with the proper latency can lead to system instability infrastructure damage or even put human operators at risk
Cloud
The IoT needs fog computingBy Angelo Corsaro
wwwiotdesignembedded-computingcom IoT Design Guide 2016 23
Cost ndash In the age of smartphones and very cheap data plans most people assume that the cost of connectivity is negligible The reality is quite different in IIoT due to either bandwidth requirements or connectivity points While in consumer applications the individual person (the consumer) pays for connectivity in most IoTIIoT applications (such as smart grids) itrsquos the operator who foots the bill As a result cost is usually carefully accounted for as it has an impact on operating expense and consequently on operational costs and margins
Security ndash Finally even assuming that all the above-listed issues are addressed a large class of IoTIIoT applications are not comfortable with or are incapable due to regulation of pushing their data to a cloud
Unless you can guarantee that the connectivity bandwidth latency cost and security requirements of your application are compatible with a cloud-centric architecture you need a dif-ferent paradigm and 999 percent of the IoT platforms avail-able on the market are not of much use
Fog computing is emerging as the main paradigm to address the connectivity bandwidth latency cost and security chal-lenges imposed by cloud-centric architectures The main idea behind fog computing is to provide elastic compute storage and communication close to the things so that data neednrsquot be sent all the way to the cloud or at least not all data and not all the time And the infrastructure is designed ground-up to deal with cyber- physical systems (CPS) as opposed to IT systems In other words the infrastructure is designed to consider the constraints imposed by the interactions with the physical world in terms of latency determinism load balancing and fault-tolerance
Defining fog computingTwo trends that are at the core of the IIoT revolution are soft-warization and digital twins
Softwarization is a trend that is disrupting several industries Its mantra is the replacement of specialized hardware implementa-tions such as a programmable logic controller (PLC) on an indus-trial floor with software running in a virtualized environment
Digital twins as the name hints are a digital representation (computerized model) of a physical entity (such as a compressor or a turbine) that is animated through the live data coming from its physical brother or sister Digital twins have several applications such as monitoring diagnostics and prognostics Additionally Digital twins provide useful insights to RampD teams for improving next-generation designs as well as continuously ameliorating the fidelity of their models
As softwarization transforms specialized hardware into soft-ware it creates an opportunity for convergence and consolida-tion If we take as an example soft PLCs (ie softwarized PLCs) all of a sudden they can be deployed on commodity hardware in a virtualized environment and decoupled from the IO logic that can remain closer to the source of data As a side note
the general idea of softwarization applied to the factory floor is often referred to as software-defined machines or software-defined automation
As a result of softwarization and digital twins there is an opportunity for modernizing the factory floor consolidating its hardware and improving availability productivity manage-ability resilience to failure and innovation agility In essence as a result of softwarization there is the opportunity to manage these systems as a data center As softwarization is a trend that is impacting a large class of industries it is worth highlighting that the transformations described above along with its ben-efits are not just limited to industrial automation But there is a catch the large majority of these systems whether in the industrial transportation or medical domains are subject to the performance constraints previously discussed
These systems interact with the physical world and as such they need to react at the pace imposed by the physical entity with which they interact As a consequence while traditional cloud infrastructure would be functionally perfect to address these use cases it turns out to be inadequate as it is typi-cally not designed with these non-functional requirements in mind and is often too heavyweight Cloud infrastructures were designed for IT systems in which a delay in the response time may create a bored or upset customer but will not cause a robot arm to smash against a wall another machine or worse
Now it should be clear that fog computing is not just about applying distributed computing to the edge Fog computing is about providing an infrastructure that while virtualizing elastic compute storage and communication is able to address the non-functional properties characteristic of these domains
Fog computing makes it possible to provision and manage softwarized hardware (eg a soft PLC digital twins analytics and anything else that may need to run on the system) while ensuring the proper non-functional requirements and bringing all the benefits listed above in terms of convergence manage-ability availability agility and efficiency improvement
Fog computing provides a flexible infrastructure to provision deploy monitor and manage software at the edge This should clarify how just deploying some logic on an edge gateway isnrsquot fog computing and neither is fog computing traditional dis-tributed computing

Fluid computing Unifying cloud fog and mist computingWhat is mist computing As the name implies mist is closer to the ground than fog which in turn is closer to the ground than the cloud But beside the meteorological analogies what does this really mean As yoursquove probably guessed this means that mist computing is about bringing elastic compute storage and communication directly onto the things Thus if we continue with the meteorological analogy cloud infrastructure is high in the data center fog infrastructure is between the things and the cloud and mist infrastructure is simply the things
The goals of mist computing essentially are two
1 Enabling resource harvesting by exploiting the computation storage and communication capabilities available on the things
2 Allowing arbitrary computations to be provisioned deployed managed and monitored on the things
As you can imagine things in IoT applications are extremely heterogeneous in terms of platforms resources and con-nectivity Thus the main challenge for mist infrastructures is to be sufficiently lightweight to be able to establish a fabric that virtualizes compute storage and communication without consuming too many resources
If we look from a distance at a generic IoTIIoT system we will realize that from an infrastructural perspective we will have to deal with data centers that are in a public or private cloud edge infrastructure and the actual things IoTIIoT systems will need to exploit resources that span these three tiers and provi-sion deploy monitor and manage applications and services across the tiers On the other hand if we look at the techno-logical landscape there is a complete fragmentation between the technologies used for cloud computing fog computing and the emerging mist computing This fragmentation makes it difficult to establish a unified end-to-end perspective of the system and it makes it practically impossible to treat the system as a uniform and virtualized compute storage and communication fabric
At this point the question is ldquoWhat can we do about itrdquo
The first step toward addressing a problem is recognizing it To this end that means raising awareness about the challenges that this fragmentation may induce The second step is to establish a vision of how the problem can be solved so that the industry can internalize it and eventually address it
Letrsquos focus for a moment on what would make sense for the user of an IoTIIoT platform as opposed to the technical details of whether cloud fog or mist is the right answer
From a high-level perspective why should a designer of an IoTIIoT application care whether he or she will be using cloud fog or mist computing paradigms The only thing that really matters is that the platform provides a way to provision
manage and monitor applications in such a way that appli-cations can meet their functional and non-functional require-ments The functional and non-functional requirements drive the allocation of applications on things fog or cloud layers ndash but anything else is just a detail isnrsquot it
Fluid computing is an architectural principle based on the abstraction of the topological details of the computational infrastructure Fluid architectures provide an end-to-end fabric that can be used to seamlessly provision deploy manage and monitor applications regardless of whether the underlying resource is provided by the cloud infrastructure the fog infra-structure or by things
Fluid computing unifies under a single abstraction of cloud fog and mist computing In other words cloud fog and mist computing can be seen as application of fluid computing in a specific bounded context
As the IoTIIoT market evolves expect a convergence of cloud fog and mist computing platforms toward a fluid computing platform This convergence will be necessary if not essential to accelerate the adoption of IoT

CIA and TPM to secure the IoTBy Guenther Fischer
CIA TPM and IoT You might ask what these three acronyms have in common and how they relate to each other
To make a long story short it is all about security trust and reliability
The abbreviation CIA in this context does not mean the Central Intelligence Agency It is an abbreviation for Confidentiality Integrity and Authenticity The so-called CIA principle is a simple but widely used security model covering three key tenets that should be guaranteed by all secure systems
Confidentiality is intended in the sense of hiding information from people not authorized to view it It is perhaps the most obvious aspect of the CIA model when it comes to security At the same time it is also the one most under attack Cryptographic symmetric and asymmetric encryption methods are examples of means to ensure confidentiality when transmitting data from one computer system to another
Integrity on the other hand represents the certainty that data is accurate and not changed on its journey from the original sender to the intended receiver A common security attack often called a man-in-the-middle attack intercepts data and makes changes to it before passing it on to the intended receiver Cryptographic digital signature methods are one way to attest the integrity of code and data
In addition authenticity is needed to address the concern about genuine information In other words you want to make sure the information you receive actually comes from the source that claims to be its genuine origin Cryptographic digital certificates are used to prove the authenticity of the issuer
Now that we understand why CIA is important for a secure system letrsquos move to the third acronym IoT
After many years of being an overhyped marketing term the so-called Internet of Things (IoT) is starting to become mature and real Mark Weiser created the term ldquoubiquitous computingrdquo first in his famous Scientific American article ldquoThe Computer for the 21st Centuryrdquo pub lished September 1991 His thinking was so ahead of his time that it seemed like science fiction to most of his readers In 2016 his vision has become reality Ubiquitous computing (or ubicomp for short) became todayrsquos ndash perhaps overhyped ndash IoT
Weiser started his article ldquoThe most profound technologies are those that disappear They weave themselves into the fabric of

everyday life until they are indistinguishable from itrdquo He pre-dicted that computing devices would become commonplace and part of all aspects of life and he was right Just consider for example the consumer gadgets like fitness bands smart watches smart phones or navigation systems that send and receive data all day long Or consider the home which is con-nected to a power grid where a smart meter allows the energy provider to effectively calculate the resources needed to cover the demand of all households Interconnected computing devices are everywhere nowadays
Shifting focus to industrial applications todayrsquos business IoT applications are developed together with devices and services coming from various sectors of industry information tech-nology automation and production technology aerospace maritime and naval systems railways car manufacturers and their suppliers energy providers agricultural medical tech-nology and building automation All of those share character-istics including long life in the field reliability and robustness in harsh environments and reliable long-term availability
IoT systems rely on public networks but public networks are not secure environments While IoT creates new capabilities and services allows greater efficiencies increases flexibility and enables the customization of single production units it also opens up previously closed systems and allows attackers to get access to those systems from the outside world
Attackers often use reverse engineering techniques to iden-tify software vulnerabilities which they can exploit to create counterfeit products steal sensitive data or tamper with the device for sabotage and espionage purposes This can lead to serious and dangerous hacks as recent attacks on safety-critical automotive aerospace and medical components have shown
This brings us back to the CIA principle we started with The only way to avoid situations like those listed above is to apply

the CIA security model to the world of IoT devices As we have learned CIA is built around cryprograhic operations Todayrsquos modern cryprography leverages standard crypto protocols The Dutch cryptographer Auguste Kerckhoffs stated a maxim in the 19th century that would become known as Kerckhoffsrsquo principle A cryptosystem should be secure even if everything about the system except for the key is public knowledge
I repeat everything is public knowledge except for the key which is needed to encrypt and decrypt the content either directly or in a derived form So how do you store a key in a secure manner This brings me to the second acronym TPM the Trusted Platform Module
In the world of cryptography there is a ton of other acronyms referring to the various protocols and methods that are used to ensure the CIA principle To name just a few of them you have DES AES for symmetric cryptography and RSA ECC for asymmetric cryptography The list of acronyms goes on and on The really important part however is that the algorithms themselves are typically not secret they are publicly available just as Kerckhoffsrsquo principle demands it The only part that really needs to be kept secret is the key itself This sounds simple but it is pretty hard to achieve To keep the key secret you need a secure place like a safe which we will call a secure element to securely store the key A TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is such a secure element and it offers a lot more including the crypto protocols
In a nutshell a TPM is a specialized and dedicated device that offers crypto operations and secure storage for secret keys all in one This allows you to store the key in a secure place and even more importantly it allows the key to stay there so it never leaves its secure location All important crypto operations are done inside of the TPM itself and only the results are exposed This prevents the key from getting compromised In case you want to know why it is important to have this dedicated functionality separated in a dedicated device I recommend you to read the following two articles These should make it obvious how impor-tant it is to have a dedicated secure element like a TPM inside a computing device to make it secure trustable and reliable
So how can incidents like these be prevented Use technology that creates secured code and licenses that can be bound to a secure element in the target system ensuring that the code and the licensed features can only be used on an individual system License creation and deployment can be integrated into existing business processes such as ERP systems or e-commerce platforms This mechanism opens up new business models such as feature-on-demand upselling and time-based or pay-per-use licenses for the IoT and other intelligent devices The result is improved security from attacks malware theft and other malfeasance for code and IP

The Internet of Things (IoT) has been touted as the next Industrial Revolution with pervasive connectivity and the insights it can generate offering a new digital lens for viewing and managing the physical world But in addition to the tangible process efficiencies and quality of life improvements expected from the IoT itrsquos also a stepping stone to perhaps the greatest achievement in human history artificial intelligence (AI)
In many ways the technological progression of AI and the IoT are intertwined IoT will provide the information that fuels our data-driven economy while AI is the engine that will consume it Though both paradigms are still in their infancy eachrsquos suc-cess is contingent upon the otherrsquos The IoT can never reach its potential without a mechanism for autonomously processing large heterogeneous data sets just as AI is incapable of expanding without being fed massive amounts of data
Like many other IoT-enabling technologies however AI research and development has largely been restricted to the IT sector as the complexity of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) hidden Markov models (HMMs) natural language pro-cessing and other disciplines used in the creation of machine learning algorithms and deep neural networks (DNNs) requires storage and computing resources usually only accessible on a data center scale Likewise programming methodologies have been tuned to IT developers with tools such as R Python SQL Excel RapidMiner Hadoop Spark and Tableau being the most widely employed by data analysts and computer scientists working in the AI field
This gap between AI and data collection at the physicaldigital interchange is a common complication for the IoT which is just beginning to drive the integration of IT and operational tech-nology (OT) Nonetheless itrsquos a gap that must be bridged
AI for the embedded IoTOne of AIrsquos early excursions into the OT space came with the release of the NVIDIA Jetson TK1 platform in 2014 Based on the Tegra K1 system on chip (SoC) and its 192-core Kepler GPU and quad-core ARM Cortex-A15 the Jetson TK1 brought data center-level compute performance to computer vision robotics and automotive applications but also provided embedded engineers with a development platform for the CUDA Deep Neural Network (cuDNN) library The cuDNN primitives enabled operations such as activation functions forward and backward convolution normalization and tensor transformations required for DNN training and inferencing and the combination of this technology with the Jetson TK1rsquos 10 W power envelope meant
that deep learning frameworks such as Caffe and Torch could be accessed and executed on smaller OT devices
Today that groundwork has been extended as the Jetson TK1rsquos successor the Jetson TX1 system on module (SoM) contains 256 CUDA cores an ARM Cortex-A57 CPU and is capable of 1 TFLOPS performance Machine learning tools and libraries are also more widely available through the NVIDIA JetPack 23 an evolution of the original set of cuDNN libraries that better serves OT developers by packaging the CUDA Toolkit 8 devel-opment environment for building GPU-based applications in C and C++ camera and Video4Linux2 (V4L2) APIs the TensorRT inferencing engine and cuDNN 51 which now sup-ports recurrent neural networks (RNNs) and long short-term memory (LSTM) networks An NVIDIA benchmark shows that optimizations in the Jetson TX1 and JetPack 23 can permit up to 20 times better energy efficiency than CPUs running com-parable deep learning workloads while still maintaining an 8-10 W power draw on the TX1 under typical workloads
Never stop learningAs the IoT produces data for the AI revolution the need to monitor the progression of machine learning technologies has also become apparent This not only ensures that intelligent sys-tems endowed with learning capabilities properly pursue the objectives of their education but also that human developers properly refine the underlying frameworks and libraries upon which machine learning is based to meet desired end goals
For this purpose Cornell Computer Science PhD Jason Yosinski created the Deep Visualization Toolbox an open-source project that allows users to observe the various layers of a DNN to infer how machine learning platforms compute answers to complex problems A video demonstration of the Deep Visualization Toolbox running on the Jetson TX1 devel-oper kit can be viewed in the web version of this article at httpbitlyAIforIoT and for those of you fortunate enough to be visiting CES in 2017 NVIDIA typically showcases deep learning technologies at its automotive booth in North Hall
Itrsquos just the beginning but an IoT inflection point is occurring at the intersection of IT and embedded That inflection point is AI

Digital certificates such as X509 used by the transport layer security (TLS) protocol are ingrained in
almost every aspect of our digital lives Whether sending a secure e-mail checking a bank account balance or
performing any other action that requires an encrypted online connection these certificates authenticate the
identity of parties involved in the electronic exchange of information to prevent for example man-in-the-middle
attacks whereby a malicious actor impersonates one entity and potentially alters or misrepresents the content
being exchanged
AWS Microchip deliver trust anchor for end-to-end IoT securityBy Brandon Lewis Technology Editor
Certification authorities (CAs) sign digital certificates as proof that they have validated a root certificate containing an entityrsquos public key which is mathematically associated with a unique private key that remains secret as part of an entityrsquos asymmetric publicprivate key pair (Figures 1A and 1B) This key exchange and verification mechanism between user and CA instills confidence in any recipient of the digital certificate that its sender is in fact who they attest to be
However outside of the enterpriseIT community digital certificates have primarily been used to validate servers only Client authentication is typically not implemented in most applications because it requires certificate provisioning for large sets of heterogeneous end users which complicates the management of a public key infra-structure (PKI) But with the Internet of Things (IoT) introducing billions of clients that not only retrieve information from the cloud but also send data to it the requirement for mutual authentication ndash or the immediate two-way authentication of both clients and servers ndash has steadily increased to ensure overall system integrity
AWS mutual authentication and Just-In-Time RegistrationWith the release of the AWS IoT platform last year Amazon Web Services (AWS) intro-duced mutual authentication to the IoT space As mentioned mutual authentication
technology helps verify the integrity of all parties in a system of systems archi-tecture but also introduces problems related to certificate provisioning for client-side devices
In response AWS released a service this April called ldquoUse Your Own Certificaterdquo which allows original equipment manu-facturers (OEMs) to register digital certificates signed by a third-party CA with the AWS IoT platform using an API The Use Your Own Certificate feature implies that the key exchange required for the creation of a digital certificate can occur independent of a client con-nection with AWS IoT servers and per-haps even before the device itself is connected to the Internet introducing a

new possibility for OEMs Unique cryp-tographic keys can be generated for each device during production signed by a CA as part of an offline digital cer-tificate verification process and then loaded into the AWS IoT platform to await a service request from systems containing the corresponding key pairs This process also lays the groundwork for the latest capability in the AWS IoT portfolio Just-In-Time Registration (JITR) announced in August
JITR is somewhat of a turning point for the IoT in that as the term implies devices can automatically connect to and be recognized by the AWS IoT cloud the first time they request service from the platform This type of immediate autonomous onboarding of devices with cloud services is critical given the pro-jected number of IoT connections but is contingent upon the devices connecting being pre-equipped with unique trusted
private keys in order to enable services such as the Use Your Own Certificate API and to prevent impersonation attacks (Figure 2) It also requires that devices be equipped with the correct server configurations and policies to help facilitate the onboarding process which must also be kept secure
FIGURE 2Just-in-time registration (JITR) allows devices to connect with AWS IoT servers the first time they attempt a service connection but requires that the Use Your Own Certificate API be leveraged first to upload device certificates into AWS IoT

The challenge of device manufacturers is to ensure that these keys and poli-cies remain secret and secure from the time a device is manufactured through the onboarding process and even after a product reaches end of life (EOL) Previously this has been attempted through the installation of hardware security modules (HSMs) in secure rooms at factories periodic factory security audits and time box proto-cols that attempt to define an accept-able onboarding period for devices Unfortunately these methods tend to be either expensive or inexact and also donrsquot account for threats that could compromise systems deployed in the field such as physical tampering
Hardware-based elliptic curve cryptography anchors trust in IoT 2016 has also seen significant news from the other side of the IoT technology spectrum as semiconductor vendor Microchip acquired competitor Atmel for approximately $36 billion earlier this year Among other technologies the pur-chase netted Microchip access to Atmelrsquos portfolio of security ICs including elliptic curve cryptography-based (ECC-based) CryptoAuthentication devices such as the ECC508A (Figure 3)
The ECC508A is noteworthy in the framework of AWS IoTrsquos mutual authen-tication Use Your Own Certificate and JITR capabilities in that the elliptic curve
Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) key agreement protocol it employs enables the internal gener-ation and storage of private keys These keys remain protected through the life of the device due to tamper-resistant architectural features of the chip including internally encrypted memory isolated power rails a memory and logic shield internal clock generation and a lack of probe points that protect against real-world threats such as emissions analysis microprobe power cycling and timing attacks This secure storage space can also be used to house pre-configured AWS server policies resulting in a device that contains all of the information needed for digital certificate authentication and onboarding required by JITR
As seen in wolfSSLrsquos wolfCrypt benchmark of an embedded SSLTLS stack running on the ECC508A the hardware-based crypto acceleration of the chip also offloads encryption tasks from a host processor resulting in improved overall system perfor-mance (Figure 4)
ECC508A and AWS IoT The processAs discussed previously private keys are mathematically correlated with the public keys required for the creation of digital certificates Therefore the ECC508A becomes the root of trust for any device that equips it
In the context of a mutually authenticated AWS IoT deployment leveraging the ECC508A Microchip can act as the CA both generating and signing device certifi-cates in parallel as part of the certificate chain verification process for an IoT OEM
The ECC508A is a 2 mm x 3 mm tamper-resistant CryptoAuthentication device based on elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) cryptography algorithms that provide hardware-based cryptographic key generation storage and countermeasures

The OEM would then load the resulting digital certificates into their AWS IoT account through the Use Your Own Certificate API where they would remain until an incoming TLS request from a device containing the partnered ECC508A key pair triggers the JITR process
The procedure from key generation through cloud onboarding requires a one-time setup shown in Figure 5 As keys are generated in a secure Microchip facility and the key management infrastructure is already in place OEMs are able to access robust security and automatic cloud authentication by adding a single component to their bill of materials (BoM)
Dropping anchor on IoT securitySecurity is essential to the continued rollout of IoT in every market and discrete solutions that allow device makers to separate security from business functions and value adds will enable more innovative products in the future An ECC508A evaluation kit is available for interested parties through Microchip and distribu-tors such as DigiKey and Mouser with trials and tutorials of AWS IoT accessible at awsamazoncomiot

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) promises to deliver a step change in efficiency and a leap towards
autonomy for industrial automation and other sectors such as security and surveillance and building management
The prospect of self-monitoring self-managing factories and manufacturing processes is no longer beyond the
distant horizon The ability to remotely identify monitor and control every individual device in a manufacturing
process network with minimal or no human intervention offers opportunities that were beyond comprehension just
a decade ago ndash even in the eyes of engineers working at the very forefront of industrial manufacturing technology
Advances in sensing connectivity and control fuel IIoT designsBy Wiren Perera
The key drivers of the IIoT are more measurement of an expanding number of parameters fast and extensive analysis of and reactions to data and accelerated enhancements to processes Successful IIoT design and management can mean continuously optimized efficiency reduced operating costs and more resilient self-learning processes At the fulcrum of this are a number of semiconductor technolo-gies on offer and in development at some of the worldrsquos top electronic component manufacturers
Vision-based sensing and energy harvestingSensors are at the heart of the IIoT gathering more and more data But to measure more we need to sense more ndash more parameters more accurately and more often Overlaying software on established technologies can bring incremental gains but to make the necessary advances we need to add more parameters with accuracy as each additional parameter can make a system smarter
Sensor technology that measures ldquotraditionalrdquo parameters such as temperature light position level humidity and pressure continues to advance But despite becoming smaller more cost-effective and often embedded each sensor is dedicated and hence limited in its functionality and versatility Vision-based sensing enables a new paradigm Corollary to the concept of ldquoa picture is worth a thousand wordsrdquo once a machine can ldquoseerdquo much more is possible much faster
With vision sensing programmability brings flexibility enabling a single vision system to sense missing or misplaced components and other process vari-ables The trend towards vision-based sensing ndash both still and video ndash will make future systems more intelligent flexible and ultimately more valuable
Current advances in machine vision in many situations can provide better sight than the human eye Coupled with the reduction in risks associated with human error it enables a new degree of adapt-ability and speed for reconfigurable production processes This could be any-thing from optimization based on real-time events to the reconfiguration of a system that may allow multiple products to be made on a single line They only require a simple change from one control

FIGURE 1 ON Semiconductorrsquos Smart Passive Sensor family are wireless energy harvesting sensors that can function autonomously in space-constrained environments
program to the next and the system is ready to run This has obvious cost time and labor benefits and reduces the risks associated with error
However the distributed nature of the IIoT and the requirement to place mul-tiple sensors at various points of mea-surement presents another challenge the reliable delivery of power
Successful sensors especially those utilized in IIoT designs have four basic attributes they need to be self-pow-ered collect data broadcast their status and have the ability to connect Wireless sensors with the ability to harvest energy (ie self-powered) are essential if the IIoT is to advance and realize its potential Wireless energy harvesting solutions such as ON Semiconductorrsquos Smart Passive Sensors are an example of technology that can meet these require-ments (Figure 1) These devices can be deployed in hard-to-access space- constrained environments with no direct power source allowing them to function autonomously
Instant access to dataSensors gather data and then post-pro-cessing and analytics generate valuable information along with the ability to control factories and processes
The processing of large sustained flows of data associated with real-time sensing for the IIoT is reliant on the cloud This analysis requires platforms that can store large data sets across distributed clus-ters often combining and processing data from many geographically dis-persed sources In global organizations for example a problem in a Chinese smart factory can trigger an almost in- stantaneous process improvement in a similar factory located somewhere else in the world
Advances in secure communications and authentication also allow mobile devices to connect to these networks bringing opportunities for instantaneous access to information Flexible access can then drive value into the business and its relationships with the outside world In
fact this IToperational technology (OT) integration as shown in Figure 2 has the potential to bring the greatest benefits to a broad range of industrial automation applications
Combining sensing connectivity and actuationMany industrial control systems are very sophisticated and require accurate or careful often rapid positioning This could mean anything from the speed and direction of a cooling fan to a motor or servo that adjusts a valve position or a stepper motor for linear or angular positioning in a precision task Alongside the rapid development of sensing for the IIoT the actuators and their controllers that provide the physical reac-tions to gathered analyzed data are seeing similar advancements
However integrated manufacturing processes require a broad range of sensing tech-nologies be combined with connectivity and actuation which creates design and expertise challenges Fully integrated hardware and software development platforms that combine these elements are crucial to help speed and ease the customization of specific functions for adoption into end products Modularity makes these platforms extensible to new IoTIIoT functions and devices that are based on new advances allowing more rapid adoption (Figure 3 page 14) Open-source support is also impor-tant since a broad ecosystem and interoperability are crucial for the IoTrsquos success
FIGURE 2 ITOT integration will yield benefits to industrial automation companies through the concatenation of distributed personnel and assets

Sensors data processing and actuators are all significant building blocks of an IIoT application However without a means to communicate share data and transmit receive and execute instructions the IIoT cannot function
Considering the IIoTrsquos unique requirements not all standards and protocols are satis-factory The technologies suitable for smartphone personal area networks (PANs) or single-supplier standards are unlikely to be successful Instead itrsquos important for IIoT
platforms to demonstrate flexibility by supporting a broad array of standards including Thread SIGFOX EnOcean M-Bus KNX ZigBee and proprietary protocols The adoption of a software-defined radio (SDR) approach allows a single platform to support multiple pro-tocols which will be a requirement for platforms designed support multiple applications
ZigBee and Thread are complementary 802154 standards and a liaison relationship between the two industry organizations should help drive broad adoption of these protocols within smart home applications Thread is an IP-based (IPv6) networking protocol built on open standards for low-power mesh networks that can easily and securely connect hundreds of devices to each other and directly to the cloud Security and interoperability are two of Threadrsquos key value-added capabilities
Conversely SIGFOX enables wide-area networks (WANs) that provide relatively low bandwidth communications with fixed or mobile smart objects or sensors deployed over large areas Example applications for this protocol include the nationwide tracking of shipping containers or vehicles and communication with geographically spread assets such as smart-city equipment or oil pumps and pipelines
Technology convergence for the IIoTAt the core of achieving the IIoTrsquos true potential will be the effective interplay and connection of sensing computing and control technologies in robust energy-efficient implementations Every facet of technology is evolving towards this goal with both discrete solutions and integrated development platforms that are enabling embedded and IoT design engineers to transform yester-dayrsquos vision of automated self- managing industry into todayrsquos reality

IoT developers often consider faster time-to-market and lower product maintenance costs when deploying firmware update mechanisms as the capability allows them to stage feature roll-outs enabledisable features or functionality on devices in the field fix firmware bugs after a product has been released reduce the need for expensive technical support and enable better overall end user experiences However if proper security measures are not in place this feature may be misused and the consequences of a successful exploitation can be disastrous ranging from intellectual property (IP) theft and product cloning all the way to unauthor-ized control of the deployed system For example a successful exploitation of firmware update mechanisms that do not support verifying a new firmware imagersquos authenticity in a hospital drug pump can lead to a hacker tampering with the dos-ages of drugs delivered to patients
Firmware updates and their vulnerabilitiesFigure 1 shows a typical firmware update process The steps include
1 The product manufacturer creates and loads an initial firmware image into the device in a trusted environment
2 The product is deployed with the initial firmware into the field
3 When a firmware update is required the product manufacturer creates a new firmware image
4 The manufacturer sends the new firmware image to the end usertechnician or to the product directly through an untrusted communication channel
5 The new firmware is loaded onto the device in the field
In Figure 1 potential security threats are apparent during the ldquotransportrdquo phase when new firmware is transferred via an untrusted communication channel or during the ldquofirmware loadingrdquo phase when the new firmware is downloaded onto the device in the field
The new firmware image being down-loaded to the device corresponds to the IP of the product manufacturer and the target asset Threats to this asset include
1 Reverse engineering of the firmware binary image into assembly or a higher level engineering language to analyze its functionality and contents
2 Product cloning where a firmware image from the product manufacturer is loaded onto a device that is not authorized
3 Alteration of the firmware distributed by the product manufacturer
4 Loading an unauthorized firmware image onto the device which may correspond to an older firmware version from the product manufacturer with known bugs or code created by an unauthorized party or firmware not intended for the specific device (firmware downgrading)
5 Interrupting the firmware update process such that the firmware is only partially updated resulting in a device being unavailable for service
It is evident that the aforementioned threats can have disastrous conse-quences for the product manufacturer service provider and end user thus indi-cating an intense need for embedded designers to strongly consider measures that increase the overall security of the firmware update mechanism

Secure firmware update considerations for ultra-low power MCUsBy Bhargavi Nisarga and Luis Reynoso
16 IoT Design Guide 2016 wwwiotdesignembedded-computingcom
In-field firmware updates are an increasingly
popular feature in microcontroller-based
(MCU-based) applications These updates
enable new firmware images to be downloaded
onto a devicersquos memory providing an effective way
for product manufacturers to offer services and support to products that are already deployed in the
field The Internet of Things (IoT) era is driving increased connectivity in the embedded world making
this one of the most crucial features for todayrsquos connected products ndash so long as they are secure
Secure firmware update considerations for design engineersFigure 2 shows an example representation of network-connected systems In this case the new firmware image is transferred either from the product manufacturer
FIGURE 2A secure firmware update includes security measures dictated by the interface protocols used for network communications as well as application-level security that ensures firmware images are secured before data enters the network
FIGURE 1 Shown here is a typical firmware update process
(eg a new feature roll-out or firmware bug fix) or the service provider (eg to enabledisable features or services in a product) to the end nodes over local or wide area networks (LANsWANs) and may involve authentication from end user applications (eg via mobile devices and web applications) to per-form the firmware update
Embedded systems engineers designing firmware update capabilities for IoT sys-tems need to not only understand the assets that need to be protected and the potential threats but also the capa-bilities and limitations of their system especially as they pertain to cost per-formance or power consumption in constrained systems As a starting point an effective security solution that incor-porates the right combination of crypto-graphic algorithms and protocol-level measures must be considered
Cryptographic algorithms provide a means of protecting the privacy of con-tent while ensuring its authenticity and integrity Not all cryptographic algo-rithms are the same but they are based on four cryptographic primitives that handle one or more components of the con-fidentiality integrity and authenticity (CIA) triad These primitives are
1 Encryption and decryption Encryption is the process by which data (plaintext) is transformed into something random and meaningless (ciphertext) while decryption performs the opposite job These primitives provide both confidentiality and authenticity and are used to prevent the reverse engineering of firmware
2 One-way functions Functions such as hash are mathematical algorithms that are easy to calculate in one direction but difficult in the other They are used to obtain a digital ldquofingerprintrdquo that ensures the integrity of firmware before it is transported into the field

3 Digital signatures Used to detect if a message was altered after it was signed thus providing not only integrity but also authentication These make use of public-key cryptography to generate a signature that can only be properly decrypted using the manufacturerrsquos public key
4 Message authentication code (MAC) Similar to a digital signature except that it uses symmetric keys to encrypt and decrypt a hash generated by the manufacturer If the hash value decrypted by the receiver matches the hash value calculated for the message then the message is valid In this way MACs provide both authenticity and integrity
Some factors that influence the selection of cryptographic algorithms include performance requirements the security needs of the system memory footprint energy consumption and reliability and acceptance of the algorithm by the security
community (such as organizations like the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST))
In addition to cryptographic algorithms protocol-level measures against threats such as firmware downgrading should be considered As mentioned previ-ously firmware downgrading is an attack in which an older defective firm-ware image (encrypted or not) is re-sent to a device in order to revert it to a vul-nerable state A version check of both the firmware and keys can ensure that only new versions are programmed during an update
An attacker can also interrupt a firmware update process using several methods (power loss physical connection failure bits flipped during transmission etc) This can lead to a device executing an incomplete or invalid firmware image rendering it useless or in a compromised state In order to address this scenario firmware update mechanisms need to ensure that an incomplete or corrupted image is not executed and if neces-sary should revert the system to a valid previously used image
Cryptographic bootloaders for connected embedded systemsFirmware updates are typically handled by the device bootloader A bootloader is a piece of code that resides on device memory and has the ability to reprogram the application memory space However finding or creating an embedded boot-loader with the security required for network-connected systems can be challenging For example a system may need the ability to update cryptographic keys so cryptographic functions and a bootloader protocol should support upgrading keys and increased network security during the firmware update pro-cess The bootloader protocol should also accommodate verifying firmware update versions and packet tracking to check if all packets of a specific firmware update image were received
As discussed the selection of a crypto-graphic algorithm is critical because it not only sets the level of security of the sys- tem but it also impacts its performance

Crypto-Bootloader solution imple-mented on MSP430FR5969 devices encapsulates most of the security fea-tures and considerations outlined here (Figure 3)
Securing firmware for the Internet of ThingsIn summary increasingly network embedded products are creating the potential for advanced security threats making in-field firmware updates more vulnerable to remote attacks and exploitations Therefore it is important for embedded designers to consider securing their firmware update mecha-nisms through solutions that provide the right level of security while balancing the cost power and performance con-straints of IoT products

memory footprint and power consump-tion With this in mind AES-CCM repre-sents an optimal solution for embedded bootloaders AES-CCM is a cryptographic bootloader (Crypto-Bootloader) built on two cryptographic primitives AES Counter Mode (AES-CTR) for encryp-tion and cipher block chaining message
authentication code (CBC-MAC) for integrity and authenticity verification Due to the low overhead provided by AES-CCM it provides a perfect balance between increased security and low memory footprint high throughput and efficient power consumption
The selection of an MCU implementing the bootloader should not be over-looked either Designers should con-sider MCUs with features like hardware encryption engines a memory protec-tion unit (MPU) low-power peripherals and memory technologies that allow fast readwrite cycles for increased throughput The MSP430FR5969 MCU from Texas Instruments is an example of such an MCU that integrates an AES-256 co-processor to accelerate encryption algorithms MPU and MPU-IP encap-sulation (MPU-IPE) modules to enable increased protection and encapsulation of memory regions as well as up to 64 KB of FRAM memory for high performance and ultra-low power consumption The
MSP430FR5969 MCUs integrate a Crypto-Bootloader as well as MPUMPU-IPE modules and an AES-256 security co-processor

Herersquos the thing The IoT doesnrsquot need PoCs
I made this statement the other day in a product development team meeting and received looks of shock and disbelief The company with whom I was working has customers asking for help solving a specific problem and we had a multi-disciplinary team reviewing the architecture for a solution The looks I got said ldquoHow can we begin a product development without a PoCrdquo The answer is easy when you consider the definition of a PoC
According to Wikipedia ldquoA proof of concept is a realization of a certain method or idea to demonstrate its feasibility or a demonstration in principle whose purpose is to verify that some concept or theory has the potential of being used A proof of concept is usually small and may or may not be completerdquo
ldquoFeasibilityrdquo is the key word here Feasibility is the role of technology in the Innovation Venn diagram (Figure 1) Is the product technically feasible Can we even make innovation function For the most part after nearly 15 cycles of Moorersquos law and two generations of the Internet this means ldquoDoes the product violate the laws of physicsrdquo
Today particularly in the IoT ecosystem anything is feasible Further one could argue that if the product is a pure software or Internet play it is by definition feasible
The harder questions for new prod-ucts today are the other two parts of the Innovation Venn Is the product

I have heard complaints from several Internet of Things (IoT) sales and business leaders about how
proofs-of-concept (PoCs) are slowing them down In some cases they are just frustrated with how often
they are told ldquoWe need to do a PoCrdquo by a development team in response to a request to begin a new product
or offering development In other cases they are frustrated with how the tools used for PoCs ndash development
kits or Maker-ware devices like Arduino and Raspberry Pi ndash prevent them and their customers from deploying
scalable solutions once the concept is proven

desirable If so at what price Is the business viable These are the tough questions facing new offerings today
Therersquos the rub A PoC does nothing to address user desirability or busi-ness viability A PoC only addresses technology
ldquoYoursquove just renamed the PoC as a prototyperdquo you say But therersquos a big difference between the two
In a PoC the developer is not con-strained by manufacturing costs or user acceptance The issue is simple Can I make this offering work Maker tools are excellent for this This is one of the reasons by the way that when one looks for Maker products most of the suppliers are targeting educational organizations Education is about one example one proof that something works one PoC
A prototype however is the first itera-tion of the new product A prototype is built to a product requirements docu-ment (PRD) and that PRD has manu-facturing supply chain constraints certification constraints user experience needs and cost expectations One-off tools like Arduino or Raspberry Pi were not designed for these constraints So when a product development is started with a PoC and uses Maker tools the

The IoT has put a slightly different spin on the product development process because of the addition of an ongoing user-supported experience Business models depend upon ongoing revenue so innovators have to address this need during development This is the role of the pilot The pilot puts the product in a sales-ready format into the hands of enough users in context to measure their adoption of sustained use of and willingness to pay for the product Figure 2 outlines the roles of PoCs prototypes and pilots in the product development process The fastest progression for product development for the IoT is PoC rarr Prototype(s) rarr Pilot rarr Product

Sometimes small changes make a big difference Switching your organizationrsquos thinking from proof-of-concept to proof-of-innovation is one of those changes
Three ways to tell you are wasting time with a PoC1 Examples of the offering exist in
either the lab or with competitors ndash Note that the example can be in other applications or markets For example self-driving cars moved immediately to prototypes because auto-piloted airplanes and drones provided the proof that the technology works for autonomous vehicle operations
2 No new hardware is needed ndash If your new offering depends upon the integration or is a software appli-cation of data then you are not doing a PoC Your technology is feasible it just may not be desirable or viable
3 None of the questions to be answered by the PoC effort involve the laws of physics
Three things that make a good pilot1 You have a sales-ready user
experience ndash An IoT pilot not only has to measure user adoption it also has to measure churn Too much churn will defeat the business To measure these characteristics with confidence across a statistically significant number of users the product must have a sales-ready user experience
2 The product is re-certification tested ndash Since the pilot product is not in fact sold it does not have to be marked UL CE FCC etc But it better be ready to mark As soon as the pilot validates adoption churn and price the sales team is going want to see products shipping so you canrsquot go back and do another spin Be ready
3 The supply chain is solid and meets cost expectations ndash The pilot will measure user adoption at price so if it is successful production will begin Production will have to deliver on that price so the supply chain must be solid
David Smith is Vice President of Engineering and Innovation at MultiTech Systems
They also know that they have to help product development teams move through prototyping to pilots quickly The prototypes can get early user feedback and allow forecasts of costs But the sweet spot of innovation is where users want the new product and are willing to pay a price that sustains the business In the IoT sustaining the business is complicated by recurring expense and revenue This is where the pilot comes in The pilot validates the product and the business model
PoCs are not bad but they are not often necessary in business today Perhaps the best example of this is a place where PoCs are the lifeblood of the company Google X Their mission is to make moon shots learn from failure and solve grand problems with approaches no one else is willing to try If your mission is similar then PoCs are great If you are under pressure to grow and generate new forms of revenue using digital technology beware the PoC

As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues its rapid pace of growth therersquos been no shortage of inflated
expectations Platforms promising to ease the development deployment and management of IoT systems are
now counted in the hundreds You might believe that all you have to do is pick a platform you like the best from
the vendor you trust the most and go build your IoT system Well the story is not so simple
In reality nearly all of the IoT platforms available are designed to only support cloud-centric architectures These platforms centralize the ldquointelligencerdquo in the cloud and require data to be conveyed from the edge to do anything useful with it Considering the success of this cloud-centric model in IT (and in some IoT applications like fleet management) you may wonder whatrsquos the big deal
Simply put cloud-centric architectures arenrsquot applicable to a large class of IoT applications Most notably cloud-centric architectures fall short in supporting Industrial IoT (IIoT) sys-tems and struggle with more demanding Consumer IoT (CIoT) applications
The scariest part is that the situation will only get worse with the predicted increase in the number of connected things But there are some things more fundamental limiting cloud-centric architecturesrsquo applicability for IoT systems
Connectivity ndash Cloud-centric architectures assume that sufficient connectivity exists from the things to the cloud This is necessary for collecting the data from the edge and for pushing insight or control actions from the cloud to the edge Yet connectivity
is hard to guarantee for several IoTIIoT applications such as smart autonomous consumer and agricultural vehicles As you can imagine connectivity may be taken for granted in metropolitan areas but not so much in rural areas
Bandwidth ndash Cloud-centric computing assumes that sufficient bandwidth exists to ingest the data from the edge into the data center The challenge here is that several IIoT applications produce incredible volumes of data For instance a factory can easily produce a terabyte of data per day and these numbers will only grow with the continued digitalization of factories
Latency ndash Therersquos a large class of IIoT systems for which the latency required to send data to the cloud make decisions and eventually send data toward the edge to act on these decisions may be completely incompatible with the dynamics of the underlying system A key difference between IT and IoTIIoT is that the latter deals with physical entities As such the reaction time must be compatible with the dynamics of the physical entity or process with which the application interacts Failing to react with the proper latency can lead to system instability infrastructure damage or even put human operators at risk

The IoT needs fog computingBy Angelo Corsaro
wwwiotdesignembedded-computingcom IoT Design Guide 2016 23
Cost ndash In the age of smartphones and very cheap data plans most people assume that the cost of connectivity is negligible The reality is quite different in IIoT due to either bandwidth requirements or connectivity points While in consumer applications the individual person (the consumer) pays for connectivity in most IoTIIoT applications (such as smart grids) itrsquos the operator who foots the bill As a result cost is usually carefully accounted for as it has an impact on operating expense and consequently on operational costs and margins
Security ndash Finally even assuming that all the above-listed issues are addressed a large class of IoTIIoT applications are not comfortable with or are incapable due to regulation of pushing their data to a cloud
Unless you can guarantee that the connectivity bandwidth latency cost and security requirements of your application are compatible with a cloud-centric architecture you need a dif-ferent paradigm and 999 percent of the IoT platforms avail-able on the market are not of much use
Fog computing is emerging as the main paradigm to address the connectivity bandwidth latency cost and security chal-lenges imposed by cloud-centric architectures The main idea behind fog computing is to provide elastic compute storage and communication close to the things so that data neednrsquot be sent all the way to the cloud or at least not all data and not all the time And the infrastructure is designed ground-up to deal with cyber- physical systems (CPS) as opposed to IT systems In other words the infrastructure is designed to consider the constraints imposed by the interactions with the physical world in terms of latency determinism load balancing and fault-tolerance
Defining fog computingTwo trends that are at the core of the IIoT revolution are soft-warization and digital twins
Softwarization is a trend that is disrupting several industries Its mantra is the replacement of specialized hardware implementa-tions such as a programmable logic controller (PLC) on an indus-trial floor with software running in a virtualized environment
Digital twins as the name hints are a digital representation (computerized model) of a physical entity (such as a compressor or a turbine) that is animated through the live data coming from its physical brother or sister Digital twins have several applications such as monitoring diagnostics and prognostics Additionally Digital twins provide useful insights to RampD teams for improving next-generation designs as well as continuously ameliorating the fidelity of their models
As softwarization transforms specialized hardware into soft-ware it creates an opportunity for convergence and consolida-tion If we take as an example soft PLCs (ie softwarized PLCs) all of a sudden they can be deployed on commodity hardware in a virtualized environment and decoupled from the IO logic that can remain closer to the source of data As a side note
the general idea of softwarization applied to the factory floor is often referred to as software-defined machines or software-defined automation
As a result of softwarization and digital twins there is an opportunity for modernizing the factory floor consolidating its hardware and improving availability productivity manage-ability resilience to failure and innovation agility In essence as a result of softwarization there is the opportunity to manage these systems as a data center As softwarization is a trend that is impacting a large class of industries it is worth highlighting that the transformations described above along with its ben-efits are not just limited to industrial automation But there is a catch the large majority of these systems whether in the industrial transportation or medical domains are subject to the performance constraints previously discussed
These systems interact with the physical world and as such they need to react at the pace imposed by the physical entity with which they interact As a consequence while traditional cloud infrastructure would be functionally perfect to address these use cases it turns out to be inadequate as it is typi-cally not designed with these non-functional requirements in mind and is often too heavyweight Cloud infrastructures were designed for IT systems in which a delay in the response time may create a bored or upset customer but will not cause a robot arm to smash against a wall another machine or worse
Now it should be clear that fog computing is not just about applying distributed computing to the edge Fog computing is about providing an infrastructure that while virtualizing elastic compute storage and communication is able to address the non-functional properties characteristic of these domains
Fog computing makes it possible to provision and manage softwarized hardware (eg a soft PLC digital twins analytics and anything else that may need to run on the system) while ensuring the proper non-functional requirements and bringing all the benefits listed above in terms of convergence manage-ability availability agility and efficiency improvement
Fog computing provides a flexible infrastructure to provision deploy monitor and manage software at the edge This should clarify how just deploying some logic on an edge gateway isnrsquot fog computing and neither is fog computing traditional dis-tributed computing

Fluid computing Unifying cloud fog and mist computingWhat is mist computing As the name implies mist is closer to the ground than fog which in turn is closer to the ground than the cloud But beside the meteorological analogies what does this really mean As yoursquove probably guessed this means that mist computing is about bringing elastic compute storage and communication directly onto the things Thus if we continue with the meteorological analogy cloud infrastructure is high in the data center fog infrastructure is between the things and the cloud and mist infrastructure is simply the things
The goals of mist computing essentially are two
1 Enabling resource harvesting by exploiting the computation storage and communication capabilities available on the things
2 Allowing arbitrary computations to be provisioned deployed managed and monitored on the things
As you can imagine things in IoT applications are extremely heterogeneous in terms of platforms resources and con-nectivity Thus the main challenge for mist infrastructures is to be sufficiently lightweight to be able to establish a fabric that virtualizes compute storage and communication without consuming too many resources
If we look from a distance at a generic IoTIIoT system we will realize that from an infrastructural perspective we will have to deal with data centers that are in a public or private cloud edge infrastructure and the actual things IoTIIoT systems will need to exploit resources that span these three tiers and provi-sion deploy monitor and manage applications and services across the tiers On the other hand if we look at the techno-logical landscape there is a complete fragmentation between the technologies used for cloud computing fog computing and the emerging mist computing This fragmentation makes it difficult to establish a unified end-to-end perspective of the system and it makes it practically impossible to treat the system as a uniform and virtualized compute storage and communication fabric
At this point the question is ldquoWhat can we do about itrdquo
The first step toward addressing a problem is recognizing it To this end that means raising awareness about the challenges that this fragmentation may induce The second step is to establish a vision of how the problem can be solved so that the industry can internalize it and eventually address it
Letrsquos focus for a moment on what would make sense for the user of an IoTIIoT platform as opposed to the technical details of whether cloud fog or mist is the right answer
From a high-level perspective why should a designer of an IoTIIoT application care whether he or she will be using cloud fog or mist computing paradigms The only thing that really matters is that the platform provides a way to provision
manage and monitor applications in such a way that appli-cations can meet their functional and non-functional require-ments The functional and non-functional requirements drive the allocation of applications on things fog or cloud layers ndash but anything else is just a detail isnrsquot it
Fluid computing is an architectural principle based on the abstraction of the topological details of the computational infrastructure Fluid architectures provide an end-to-end fabric that can be used to seamlessly provision deploy manage and monitor applications regardless of whether the underlying resource is provided by the cloud infrastructure the fog infra-structure or by things
Fluid computing unifies under a single abstraction of cloud fog and mist computing In other words cloud fog and mist computing can be seen as application of fluid computing in a specific bounded context
As the IoTIIoT market evolves expect a convergence of cloud fog and mist computing platforms toward a fluid computing platform This convergence will be necessary if not essential to accelerate the adoption of IoT

CIA and TPM to secure the IoTBy Guenther Fischer
CIA TPM and IoT You might ask what these three acronyms have in common and how they relate to each other
To make a long story short it is all about security trust and reliability
The abbreviation CIA in this context does not mean the Central Intelligence Agency It is an abbreviation for Confidentiality Integrity and Authenticity The so-called CIA principle is a simple but widely used security model covering three key tenets that should be guaranteed by all secure systems
Confidentiality is intended in the sense of hiding information from people not authorized to view it It is perhaps the most obvious aspect of the CIA model when it comes to security At the same time it is also the one most under attack Cryptographic symmetric and asymmetric encryption methods are examples of means to ensure confidentiality when transmitting data from one computer system to another
Integrity on the other hand represents the certainty that data is accurate and not changed on its journey from the original sender to the intended receiver A common security attack often called a man-in-the-middle attack intercepts data and makes changes to it before passing it on to the intended receiver Cryptographic digital signature methods are one way to attest the integrity of code and data
In addition authenticity is needed to address the concern about genuine information In other words you want to make sure the information you receive actually comes from the source that claims to be its genuine origin Cryptographic digital certificates are used to prove the authenticity of the issuer
Now that we understand why CIA is important for a secure system letrsquos move to the third acronym IoT
After many years of being an overhyped marketing term the so-called Internet of Things (IoT) is starting to become mature and real Mark Weiser created the term ldquoubiquitous computingrdquo first in his famous Scientific American article ldquoThe Computer for the 21st Centuryrdquo pub lished September 1991 His thinking was so ahead of his time that it seemed like science fiction to most of his readers In 2016 his vision has become reality Ubiquitous computing (or ubicomp for short) became todayrsquos ndash perhaps overhyped ndash IoT
Weiser started his article ldquoThe most profound technologies are those that disappear They weave themselves into the fabric of

everyday life until they are indistinguishable from itrdquo He pre-dicted that computing devices would become commonplace and part of all aspects of life and he was right Just consider for example the consumer gadgets like fitness bands smart watches smart phones or navigation systems that send and receive data all day long Or consider the home which is con-nected to a power grid where a smart meter allows the energy provider to effectively calculate the resources needed to cover the demand of all households Interconnected computing devices are everywhere nowadays
Shifting focus to industrial applications todayrsquos business IoT applications are developed together with devices and services coming from various sectors of industry information tech-nology automation and production technology aerospace maritime and naval systems railways car manufacturers and their suppliers energy providers agricultural medical tech-nology and building automation All of those share character-istics including long life in the field reliability and robustness in harsh environments and reliable long-term availability
IoT systems rely on public networks but public networks are not secure environments While IoT creates new capabilities and services allows greater efficiencies increases flexibility and enables the customization of single production units it also opens up previously closed systems and allows attackers to get access to those systems from the outside world
Attackers often use reverse engineering techniques to iden-tify software vulnerabilities which they can exploit to create counterfeit products steal sensitive data or tamper with the device for sabotage and espionage purposes This can lead to serious and dangerous hacks as recent attacks on safety-critical automotive aerospace and medical components have shown
This brings us back to the CIA principle we started with The only way to avoid situations like those listed above is to apply

the CIA security model to the world of IoT devices As we have learned CIA is built around cryprograhic operations Todayrsquos modern cryprography leverages standard crypto protocols The Dutch cryptographer Auguste Kerckhoffs stated a maxim in the 19th century that would become known as Kerckhoffsrsquo principle A cryptosystem should be secure even if everything about the system except for the key is public knowledge
I repeat everything is public knowledge except for the key which is needed to encrypt and decrypt the content either directly or in a derived form So how do you store a key in a secure manner This brings me to the second acronym TPM the Trusted Platform Module
In the world of cryptography there is a ton of other acronyms referring to the various protocols and methods that are used to ensure the CIA principle To name just a few of them you have DES AES for symmetric cryptography and RSA ECC for asymmetric cryptography The list of acronyms goes on and on The really important part however is that the algorithms themselves are typically not secret they are publicly available just as Kerckhoffsrsquo principle demands it The only part that really needs to be kept secret is the key itself This sounds simple but it is pretty hard to achieve To keep the key secret you need a secure place like a safe which we will call a secure element to securely store the key A TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is such a secure element and it offers a lot more including the crypto protocols
In a nutshell a TPM is a specialized and dedicated device that offers crypto operations and secure storage for secret keys all in one This allows you to store the key in a secure place and even more importantly it allows the key to stay there so it never leaves its secure location All important crypto operations are done inside of the TPM itself and only the results are exposed This prevents the key from getting compromised In case you want to know why it is important to have this dedicated functionality separated in a dedicated device I recommend you to read the following two articles These should make it obvious how impor-tant it is to have a dedicated secure element like a TPM inside a computing device to make it secure trustable and reliable
So how can incidents like these be prevented Use technology that creates secured code and licenses that can be bound to a secure element in the target system ensuring that the code and the licensed features can only be used on an individual system License creation and deployment can be integrated into existing business processes such as ERP systems or e-commerce platforms This mechanism opens up new business models such as feature-on-demand upselling and time-based or pay-per-use licenses for the IoT and other intelligent devices The result is improved security from attacks malware theft and other malfeasance for code and IP

The Internet of Things (IoT) has been touted as the next Industrial Revolution with pervasive connectivity and the insights it can generate offering a new digital lens for viewing and managing the physical world But in addition to the tangible process efficiencies and quality of life improvements expected from the IoT itrsquos also a stepping stone to perhaps the greatest achievement in human history artificial intelligence (AI)
In many ways the technological progression of AI and the IoT are intertwined IoT will provide the information that fuels our data-driven economy while AI is the engine that will consume it Though both paradigms are still in their infancy eachrsquos suc-cess is contingent upon the otherrsquos The IoT can never reach its potential without a mechanism for autonomously processing large heterogeneous data sets just as AI is incapable of expanding without being fed massive amounts of data
Like many other IoT-enabling technologies however AI research and development has largely been restricted to the IT sector as the complexity of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) hidden Markov models (HMMs) natural language pro-cessing and other disciplines used in the creation of machine learning algorithms and deep neural networks (DNNs) requires storage and computing resources usually only accessible on a data center scale Likewise programming methodologies have been tuned to IT developers with tools such as R Python SQL Excel RapidMiner Hadoop Spark and Tableau being the most widely employed by data analysts and computer scientists working in the AI field
This gap between AI and data collection at the physicaldigital interchange is a common complication for the IoT which is just beginning to drive the integration of IT and operational tech-nology (OT) Nonetheless itrsquos a gap that must be bridged
AI for the embedded IoTOne of AIrsquos early excursions into the OT space came with the release of the NVIDIA Jetson TK1 platform in 2014 Based on the Tegra K1 system on chip (SoC) and its 192-core Kepler GPU and quad-core ARM Cortex-A15 the Jetson TK1 brought data center-level compute performance to computer vision robotics and automotive applications but also provided embedded engineers with a development platform for the CUDA Deep Neural Network (cuDNN) library The cuDNN primitives enabled operations such as activation functions forward and backward convolution normalization and tensor transformations required for DNN training and inferencing and the combination of this technology with the Jetson TK1rsquos 10 W power envelope meant
that deep learning frameworks such as Caffe and Torch could be accessed and executed on smaller OT devices
Today that groundwork has been extended as the Jetson TK1rsquos successor the Jetson TX1 system on module (SoM) contains 256 CUDA cores an ARM Cortex-A57 CPU and is capable of 1 TFLOPS performance Machine learning tools and libraries are also more widely available through the NVIDIA JetPack 23 an evolution of the original set of cuDNN libraries that better serves OT developers by packaging the CUDA Toolkit 8 devel-opment environment for building GPU-based applications in C and C++ camera and Video4Linux2 (V4L2) APIs the TensorRT inferencing engine and cuDNN 51 which now sup-ports recurrent neural networks (RNNs) and long short-term memory (LSTM) networks An NVIDIA benchmark shows that optimizations in the Jetson TX1 and JetPack 23 can permit up to 20 times better energy efficiency than CPUs running com-parable deep learning workloads while still maintaining an 8-10 W power draw on the TX1 under typical workloads
Never stop learningAs the IoT produces data for the AI revolution the need to monitor the progression of machine learning technologies has also become apparent This not only ensures that intelligent sys-tems endowed with learning capabilities properly pursue the objectives of their education but also that human developers properly refine the underlying frameworks and libraries upon which machine learning is based to meet desired end goals
For this purpose Cornell Computer Science PhD Jason Yosinski created the Deep Visualization Toolbox an open-source project that allows users to observe the various layers of a DNN to infer how machine learning platforms compute answers to complex problems A video demonstration of the Deep Visualization Toolbox running on the Jetson TX1 devel-oper kit can be viewed in the web version of this article at httpbitlyAIforIoT and for those of you fortunate enough to be visiting CES in 2017 NVIDIA typically showcases deep learning technologies at its automotive booth in North Hall

Digital certificates such as X509 used by the transport layer security (TLS) protocol are ingrained in
almost every aspect of our digital lives Whether sending a secure e-mail checking a bank account balance or
performing any other action that requires an encrypted online connection these certificates authenticate the
identity of parties involved in the electronic exchange of information to prevent for example man-in-the-middle
attacks whereby a malicious actor impersonates one entity and potentially alters or misrepresents the content
being exchanged
AWS Microchip deliver trust anchor for end-to-end IoT securityBy Brandon Lewis Technology Editor
Certification authorities (CAs) sign digital certificates as proof that they have validated a root certificate containing an entityrsquos public key which is mathematically associated with a unique private key that remains secret as part of an entityrsquos asymmetric publicprivate key pair (Figures 1A and 1B) This key exchange and verification mechanism between user and CA instills confidence in any recipient of the digital certificate that its sender is in fact who they attest to be
However outside of the enterpriseIT community digital certificates have primarily been used to validate servers only Client authentication is typically not implemented in most applications because it requires certificate provisioning for large sets of heterogeneous end users which complicates the management of a public key infra-structure (PKI) But with the Internet of Things (IoT) introducing billions of clients that not only retrieve information from the cloud but also send data to it the requirement for mutual authentication ndash or the immediate two-way authentication of both clients and servers ndash has steadily increased to ensure overall system integrity
AWS mutual authentication and Just-In-Time RegistrationWith the release of the AWS IoT platform last year Amazon Web Services (AWS) intro-duced mutual authentication to the IoT space As mentioned mutual authentication
technology helps verify the integrity of all parties in a system of systems archi-tecture but also introduces problems related to certificate provisioning for client-side devices
In response AWS released a service this April called ldquoUse Your Own Certificaterdquo which allows original equipment manu-facturers (OEMs) to register digital certificates signed by a third-party CA with the AWS IoT platform using an API The Use Your Own Certificate feature implies that the key exchange required for the creation of a digital certificate can occur independent of a client con-nection with AWS IoT servers and per-haps even before the device itself is connected to the Internet introducing a

new possibility for OEMs Unique cryp-tographic keys can be generated for each device during production signed by a CA as part of an offline digital cer-tificate verification process and then loaded into the AWS IoT platform to await a service request from systems containing the corresponding key pairs This process also lays the groundwork for the latest capability in the AWS IoT portfolio Just-In-Time Registration (JITR) announced in August
JITR is somewhat of a turning point for the IoT in that as the term implies devices can automatically connect to and be recognized by the AWS IoT cloud the first time they request service from the platform This type of immediate autonomous onboarding of devices with cloud services is critical given the pro-jected number of IoT connections but is contingent upon the devices connecting being pre-equipped with unique trusted
private keys in order to enable services such as the Use Your Own Certificate API and to prevent impersonation attacks (Figure 2) It also requires that devices be equipped with the correct server configurations and policies to help facilitate the onboarding process which must also be kept secure
FIGURE 2Just-in-time registration (JITR) allows devices to connect with AWS IoT servers the first time they attempt a service connection but requires that the Use Your Own Certificate API be leveraged first to upload device certificates into AWS IoT

The challenge of device manufacturers is to ensure that these keys and poli-cies remain secret and secure from the time a device is manufactured through the onboarding process and even after a product reaches end of life (EOL) Previously this has been attempted through the installation of hardware security modules (HSMs) in secure rooms at factories periodic factory security audits and time box proto-cols that attempt to define an accept-able onboarding period for devices Unfortunately these methods tend to be either expensive or inexact and also donrsquot account for threats that could compromise systems deployed in the field such as physical tampering
Hardware-based elliptic curve cryptography anchors trust in IoT 2016 has also seen significant news from the other side of the IoT technology spectrum as semiconductor vendor Microchip acquired competitor Atmel for approximately $36 billion earlier this year Among other technologies the pur-chase netted Microchip access to Atmelrsquos portfolio of security ICs including elliptic curve cryptography-based (ECC-based) CryptoAuthentication devices such as the ECC508A (Figure 3)
The ECC508A is noteworthy in the framework of AWS IoTrsquos mutual authen-tication Use Your Own Certificate and JITR capabilities in that the elliptic curve
Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) key agreement protocol it employs enables the internal gener-ation and storage of private keys These keys remain protected through the life of the device due to tamper-resistant architectural features of the chip including internally encrypted memory isolated power rails a memory and logic shield internal clock generation and a lack of probe points that protect against real-world threats such as emissions analysis microprobe power cycling and timing attacks This secure storage space can also be used to house pre-configured AWS server policies resulting in a device that contains all of the information needed for digital certificate authentication and onboarding required by JITR
As seen in wolfSSLrsquos wolfCrypt benchmark of an embedded SSLTLS stack running on the ECC508A the hardware-based crypto acceleration of the chip also offloads encryption tasks from a host processor resulting in improved overall system perfor-mance (Figure 4)
ECC508A and AWS IoT The processAs discussed previously private keys are mathematically correlated with the public keys required for the creation of digital certificates Therefore the ECC508A becomes the root of trust for any device that equips it
In the context of a mutually authenticated AWS IoT deployment leveraging the ECC508A Microchip can act as the CA both generating and signing device certifi-cates in parallel as part of the certificate chain verification process for an IoT OEM
The ECC508A is a 2 mm x 3 mm tamper-resistant CryptoAuthentication device based on elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) cryptography algorithms that provide hardware-based cryptographic key generation storage and countermeasures

The OEM would then load the resulting digital certificates into their AWS IoT account through the Use Your Own Certificate API where they would remain until an incoming TLS request from a device containing the partnered ECC508A key pair triggers the JITR process
The procedure from key generation through cloud onboarding requires a one-time setup shown in Figure 5 As keys are generated in a secure Microchip facility and the key management infrastructure is already in place OEMs are able to access robust security and automatic cloud authentication by adding a single component to their bill of materials (BoM)
Dropping anchor on IoT securitySecurity is essential to the continued rollout of IoT in every market and discrete solutions that allow device makers to separate security from business functions and value adds will enable more innovative products in the future An ECC508A evaluation kit is available for interested parties through Microchip and distribu-tors such as DigiKey and Mouser with trials and tutorials of AWS IoT accessible at awsamazoncomiot

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) promises to deliver a step change in efficiency and a leap towards
autonomy for industrial automation and other sectors such as security and surveillance and building management
The prospect of self-monitoring self-managing factories and manufacturing processes is no longer beyond the
distant horizon The ability to remotely identify monitor and control every individual device in a manufacturing
process network with minimal or no human intervention offers opportunities that were beyond comprehension just
a decade ago ndash even in the eyes of engineers working at the very forefront of industrial manufacturing technology
Advances in sensing connectivity and control fuel IIoT designsBy Wiren Perera
The key drivers of the IIoT are more measurement of an expanding number of parameters fast and extensive analysis of and reactions to data and accelerated enhancements to processes Successful IIoT design and management can mean continuously optimized efficiency reduced operating costs and more resilient self-learning processes At the fulcrum of this are a number of semiconductor technolo-gies on offer and in development at some of the worldrsquos top electronic component manufacturers
Vision-based sensing and energy harvestingSensors are at the heart of the IIoT gathering more and more data But to measure more we need to sense more ndash more parameters more accurately and more often Overlaying software on established technologies can bring incremental gains but to make the necessary advances we need to add more parameters with accuracy as each additional parameter can make a system smarter
Sensor technology that measures ldquotraditionalrdquo parameters such as temperature light position level humidity and pressure continues to advance But despite becoming smaller more cost-effective and often embedded each sensor is dedicated and hence limited in its functionality and versatility Vision-based sensing enables a new paradigm Corollary to the concept of ldquoa picture is worth a thousand wordsrdquo once a machine can ldquoseerdquo much more is possible much faster
With vision sensing programmability brings flexibility enabling a single vision system to sense missing or misplaced components and other process vari-ables The trend towards vision-based sensing ndash both still and video ndash will make future systems more intelligent flexible and ultimately more valuable
Current advances in machine vision in many situations can provide better sight than the human eye Coupled with the reduction in risks associated with human error it enables a new degree of adapt-ability and speed for reconfigurable production processes This could be any-thing from optimization based on real-time events to the reconfiguration of a system that may allow multiple products to be made on a single line They only require a simple change from one control

FIGURE 1 ON Semiconductorrsquos Smart Passive Sensor family are wireless energy harvesting sensors that can function autonomously in space-constrained environments
program to the next and the system is ready to run This has obvious cost time and labor benefits and reduces the risks associated with error
However the distributed nature of the IIoT and the requirement to place mul-tiple sensors at various points of mea-surement presents another challenge the reliable delivery of power
Successful sensors especially those utilized in IIoT designs have four basic attributes they need to be self-pow-ered collect data broadcast their status and have the ability to connect Wireless sensors with the ability to harvest energy (ie self-powered) are essential if the IIoT is to advance and realize its potential Wireless energy harvesting solutions such as ON Semiconductorrsquos Smart Passive Sensors are an example of technology that can meet these require-ments (Figure 1) These devices can be deployed in hard-to-access space- constrained environments with no direct power source allowing them to function autonomously
Instant access to dataSensors gather data and then post-pro-cessing and analytics generate valuable information along with the ability to control factories and processes
The processing of large sustained flows of data associated with real-time sensing for the IIoT is reliant on the cloud This analysis requires platforms that can store large data sets across distributed clus-ters often combining and processing data from many geographically dis-persed sources In global organizations for example a problem in a Chinese smart factory can trigger an almost in- stantaneous process improvement in a similar factory located somewhere else in the world
Advances in secure communications and authentication also allow mobile devices to connect to these networks bringing opportunities for instantaneous access to information Flexible access can then drive value into the business and its relationships with the outside world In
fact this IToperational technology (OT) integration as shown in Figure 2 has the potential to bring the greatest benefits to a broad range of industrial automation applications
Combining sensing connectivity and actuationMany industrial control systems are very sophisticated and require accurate or careful often rapid positioning This could mean anything from the speed and direction of a cooling fan to a motor or servo that adjusts a valve position or a stepper motor for linear or angular positioning in a precision task Alongside the rapid development of sensing for the IIoT the actuators and their controllers that provide the physical reac-tions to gathered analyzed data are seeing similar advancements
However integrated manufacturing processes require a broad range of sensing tech-nologies be combined with connectivity and actuation which creates design and expertise challenges Fully integrated hardware and software development platforms that combine these elements are crucial to help speed and ease the customization of specific functions for adoption into end products Modularity makes these platforms extensible to new IoTIIoT functions and devices that are based on new advances allowing more rapid adoption (Figure 3 page 14) Open-source support is also impor-tant since a broad ecosystem and interoperability are crucial for the IoTrsquos success
FIGURE 2 ITOT integration will yield benefits to industrial automation companies through the concatenation of distributed personnel and assets

Sensors data processing and actuators are all significant building blocks of an IIoT application However without a means to communicate share data and transmit receive and execute instructions the IIoT cannot function
Considering the IIoTrsquos unique requirements not all standards and protocols are satis-factory The technologies suitable for smartphone personal area networks (PANs) or single-supplier standards are unlikely to be successful Instead itrsquos important for IIoT
platforms to demonstrate flexibility by supporting a broad array of standards including Thread SIGFOX EnOcean M-Bus KNX ZigBee and proprietary protocols The adoption of a software-defined radio (SDR) approach allows a single platform to support multiple pro-tocols which will be a requirement for platforms designed support multiple applications
ZigBee and Thread are complementary 802154 standards and a liaison relationship between the two industry organizations should help drive broad adoption of these protocols within smart home applications Thread is an IP-based (IPv6) networking protocol built on open standards for low-power mesh networks that can easily and securely connect hundreds of devices to each other and directly to the cloud Security and interoperability are two of Threadrsquos key value-added capabilities
Conversely SIGFOX enables wide-area networks (WANs) that provide relatively low bandwidth communications with fixed or mobile smart objects or sensors deployed over large areas Example applications for this protocol include the nationwide tracking of shipping containers or vehicles and communication with geographically spread assets such as smart-city equipment or oil pumps and pipelines
Technology convergence for the IIoTAt the core of achieving the IIoTrsquos true potential will be the effective interplay and connection of sensing computing and control technologies in robust energy-efficient implementations Every facet of technology is evolving towards this goal with both discrete solutions and integrated development platforms that are enabling embedded and IoT design engineers to transform yester-dayrsquos vision of automated self- managing industry into todayrsquos reality

IoT developers often consider faster time-to-market and lower product maintenance costs when deploying firmware update mechanisms as the capability allows them to stage feature roll-outs enabledisable features or functionality on devices in the field fix firmware bugs after a product has been released reduce the need for expensive technical support and enable better overall end user experiences However if proper security measures are not in place this feature may be misused and the consequences of a successful exploitation can be disastrous ranging from intellectual property (IP) theft and product cloning all the way to unauthor-ized control of the deployed system For example a successful exploitation of firmware update mechanisms that do not support verifying a new firmware imagersquos authenticity in a hospital drug pump can lead to a hacker tampering with the dos-ages of drugs delivered to patients
Firmware updates and their vulnerabilitiesFigure 1 shows a typical firmware update process The steps include
1 The product manufacturer creates and loads an initial firmware image into the device in a trusted environment
2 The product is deployed with the initial firmware into the field
3 When a firmware update is required the product manufacturer creates a new firmware image
4 The manufacturer sends the new firmware image to the end usertechnician or to the product directly through an untrusted communication channel
5 The new firmware is loaded onto the device in the field
In Figure 1 potential security threats are apparent during the ldquotransportrdquo phase when new firmware is transferred via an untrusted communication channel or during the ldquofirmware loadingrdquo phase when the new firmware is downloaded onto the device in the field
The new firmware image being down-loaded to the device corresponds to the IP of the product manufacturer and the target asset Threats to this asset include
1 Reverse engineering of the firmware binary image into assembly or a higher level engineering language to analyze its functionality and contents
2 Product cloning where a firmware image from the product manufacturer is loaded onto a device that is not authorized
3 Alteration of the firmware distributed by the product manufacturer
4 Loading an unauthorized firmware image onto the device which may correspond to an older firmware version from the product manufacturer with known bugs or code created by an unauthorized party or firmware not intended for the specific device (firmware downgrading)
5 Interrupting the firmware update process such that the firmware is only partially updated resulting in a device being unavailable for service
It is evident that the aforementioned threats can have disastrous conse-quences for the product manufacturer service provider and end user thus indi-cating an intense need for embedded designers to strongly consider measures that increase the overall security of the firmware update mechanism

Secure firmware update considerations for ultra-low power MCUsBy Bhargavi Nisarga and Luis Reynoso
16 IoT Design Guide 2016 wwwiotdesignembedded-computingcom
In-field firmware updates are an increasingly
popular feature in microcontroller-based
(MCU-based) applications These updates
enable new firmware images to be downloaded
onto a devicersquos memory providing an effective way
for product manufacturers to offer services and support to products that are already deployed in the
field The Internet of Things (IoT) era is driving increased connectivity in the embedded world making
this one of the most crucial features for todayrsquos connected products ndash so long as they are secure
Secure firmware update considerations for design engineersFigure 2 shows an example representation of network-connected systems In this case the new firmware image is transferred either from the product manufacturer
FIGURE 2A secure firmware update includes security measures dictated by the interface protocols used for network communications as well as application-level security that ensures firmware images are secured before data enters the network
FIGURE 1 Shown here is a typical firmware update process
(eg a new feature roll-out or firmware bug fix) or the service provider (eg to enabledisable features or services in a product) to the end nodes over local or wide area networks (LANsWANs) and may involve authentication from end user applications (eg via mobile devices and web applications) to per-form the firmware update
Embedded systems engineers designing firmware update capabilities for IoT sys-tems need to not only understand the assets that need to be protected and the potential threats but also the capa-bilities and limitations of their system especially as they pertain to cost per-formance or power consumption in constrained systems As a starting point an effective security solution that incor-porates the right combination of crypto-graphic algorithms and protocol-level measures must be considered
Cryptographic algorithms provide a means of protecting the privacy of con-tent while ensuring its authenticity and integrity Not all cryptographic algo-rithms are the same but they are based on four cryptographic primitives that handle one or more components of the con-fidentiality integrity and authenticity (CIA) triad These primitives are
1 Encryption and decryption Encryption is the process by which data (plaintext) is transformed into something random and meaningless (ciphertext) while decryption performs the opposite job These primitives provide both confidentiality and authenticity and are used to prevent the reverse engineering of firmware
2 One-way functions Functions such as hash are mathematical algorithms that are easy to calculate in one direction but difficult in the other They are used to obtain a digital ldquofingerprintrdquo that ensures the integrity of firmware before it is transported into the field

3 Digital signatures Used to detect if a message was altered after it was signed thus providing not only integrity but also authentication These make use of public-key cryptography to generate a signature that can only be properly decrypted using the manufacturerrsquos public key
4 Message authentication code (MAC) Similar to a digital signature except that it uses symmetric keys to encrypt and decrypt a hash generated by the manufacturer If the hash value decrypted by the receiver matches the hash value calculated for the message then the message is valid In this way MACs provide both authenticity and integrity
Some factors that influence the selection of cryptographic algorithms include performance requirements the security needs of the system memory footprint energy consumption and reliability and acceptance of the algorithm by the security
community (such as organizations like the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST))
In addition to cryptographic algorithms protocol-level measures against threats such as firmware downgrading should be considered As mentioned previ-ously firmware downgrading is an attack in which an older defective firm-ware image (encrypted or not) is re-sent to a device in order to revert it to a vul-nerable state A version check of both the firmware and keys can ensure that only new versions are programmed during an update
An attacker can also interrupt a firmware update process using several methods (power loss physical connection failure bits flipped during transmission etc) This can lead to a device executing an incomplete or invalid firmware image rendering it useless or in a compromised state In order to address this scenario firmware update mechanisms need to ensure that an incomplete or corrupted image is not executed and if neces-sary should revert the system to a valid previously used image
Cryptographic bootloaders for connected embedded systemsFirmware updates are typically handled by the device bootloader A bootloader is a piece of code that resides on device memory and has the ability to reprogram the application memory space However finding or creating an embedded boot-loader with the security required for network-connected systems can be challenging For example a system may need the ability to update cryptographic keys so cryptographic functions and a bootloader protocol should support upgrading keys and increased network security during the firmware update pro-cess The bootloader protocol should also accommodate verifying firmware update versions and packet tracking to check if all packets of a specific firmware update image were received
As discussed the selection of a crypto-graphic algorithm is critical because it not only sets the level of security of the sys- tem but it also impacts its performance

Crypto-Bootloader solution imple-mented on MSP430FR5969 devices encapsulates most of the security fea-tures and considerations outlined here (Figure 3)
Securing firmware for the Internet of ThingsIn summary increasingly network embedded products are creating the potential for advanced security threats making in-field firmware updates more vulnerable to remote attacks and exploitations Therefore it is important for embedded designers to consider securing their firmware update mecha-nisms through solutions that provide the right level of security while balancing the cost power and performance con-straints of IoT products

memory footprint and power consump-tion With this in mind AES-CCM repre-sents an optimal solution for embedded bootloaders AES-CCM is a cryptographic bootloader (Crypto-Bootloader) built on two cryptographic primitives AES Counter Mode (AES-CTR) for encryp-tion and cipher block chaining message
authentication code (CBC-MAC) for integrity and authenticity verification Due to the low overhead provided by AES-CCM it provides a perfect balance between increased security and low memory footprint high throughput and efficient power consumption
The selection of an MCU implementing the bootloader should not be over-looked either Designers should con-sider MCUs with features like hardware encryption engines a memory protec-tion unit (MPU) low-power peripherals and memory technologies that allow fast readwrite cycles for increased throughput The MSP430FR5969 MCU from Texas Instruments is an example of such an MCU that integrates an AES-256 co-processor to accelerate encryption algorithms MPU and MPU-IP encap-sulation (MPU-IPE) modules to enable increased protection and encapsulation of memory regions as well as up to 64 KB of FRAM memory for high performance and ultra-low power consumption The
MSP430FR5969 MCUs integrate a Crypto-Bootloader as well as MPUMPU-IPE modules and an AES-256 security co-processor

Herersquos the thing The IoT doesnrsquot need PoCs
I made this statement the other day in a product development team meeting and received looks of shock and disbelief The company with whom I was working has customers asking for help solving a specific problem and we had a multi-disciplinary team reviewing the architecture for a solution The looks I got said ldquoHow can we begin a product development without a PoCrdquo The answer is easy when you consider the definition of a PoC
According to Wikipedia ldquoA proof of concept is a realization of a certain method or idea to demonstrate its feasibility or a demonstration in principle whose purpose is to verify that some concept or theory has the potential of being used A proof of concept is usually small and may or may not be completerdquo
ldquoFeasibilityrdquo is the key word here Feasibility is the role of technology in the Innovation Venn diagram (Figure 1) Is the product technically feasible Can we even make innovation function For the most part after nearly 15 cycles of Moorersquos law and two generations of the Internet this means ldquoDoes the product violate the laws of physicsrdquo
Today particularly in the IoT ecosystem anything is feasible Further one could argue that if the product is a pure software or Internet play it is by definition feasible
The harder questions for new prod-ucts today are the other two parts of the Innovation Venn Is the product
Gateway
I have heard complaints from several Internet of Things (IoT) sales and business leaders about how
proofs-of-concept (PoCs) are slowing them down In some cases they are just frustrated with how often
they are told ldquoWe need to do a PoCrdquo by a development team in response to a request to begin a new product
or offering development In other cases they are frustrated with how the tools used for PoCs ndash development
kits or Maker-ware devices like Arduino and Raspberry Pi ndash prevent them and their customers from deploying
scalable solutions once the concept is proven

desirable If so at what price Is the business viable These are the tough questions facing new offerings today
Therersquos the rub A PoC does nothing to address user desirability or busi-ness viability A PoC only addresses technology
ldquoYoursquove just renamed the PoC as a prototyperdquo you say But therersquos a big difference between the two
In a PoC the developer is not con-strained by manufacturing costs or user acceptance The issue is simple Can I make this offering work Maker tools are excellent for this This is one of the reasons by the way that when one looks for Maker products most of the suppliers are targeting educational organizations Education is about one example one proof that something works one PoC
A prototype however is the first itera-tion of the new product A prototype is built to a product requirements docu-ment (PRD) and that PRD has manu-facturing supply chain constraints certification constraints user experience needs and cost expectations One-off tools like Arduino or Raspberry Pi were not designed for these constraints So when a product development is started with a PoC and uses Maker tools the

development process comes to halt after the proof There is no certification path no manufacturing supply chain and no ability to meet user experience constraints ndash par-ticularly where form factor is critical
The IoT has put a slightly different spin on the product development process because of the addition of an ongoing user-supported experience Business models depend upon ongoing revenue so innovators have to address this need during development This is the role of the pilot The pilot puts the product in a sales-ready format into the hands of enough users in context to measure their adoption of sustained use of and willingness to pay for the product Figure 2 outlines the roles of PoCs prototypes and pilots in the product development process The fastest progression for product development for the IoT is PoC rarr Prototype(s) rarr Pilot rarr Product
The good news is that good suppliers of the IoT technology stack know that their offerings have to work in production have to scale and have to pass rigorous testing

Sometimes small changes make a big difference Switching your organizationrsquos thinking from proof-of-concept to proof-of-innovation is one of those changes
Three ways to tell you are wasting time with a PoC1 Examples of the offering exist in
either the lab or with competitors ndash Note that the example can be in other applications or markets For example self-driving cars moved immediately to prototypes because auto-piloted airplanes and drones provided the proof that the technology works for autonomous vehicle operations
2 No new hardware is needed ndash If your new offering depends upon the integration or is a software appli-cation of data then you are not doing a PoC Your technology is feasible it just may not be desirable or viable
3 None of the questions to be answered by the PoC effort involve the laws of physics
Three things that make a good pilot1 You have a sales-ready user
experience ndash An IoT pilot not only has to measure user adoption it also has to measure churn Too much churn will defeat the business To measure these characteristics with confidence across a statistically significant number of users the product must have a sales-ready user experience
2 The product is re-certification tested ndash Since the pilot product is not in fact sold it does not have to be marked UL CE FCC etc But it better be ready to mark As soon as the pilot validates adoption churn and price the sales team is going want to see products shipping so you canrsquot go back and do another spin Be ready
3 The supply chain is solid and meets cost expectations ndash The pilot will measure user adoption at price so if it is successful production will begin Production will have to deliver on that price so the supply chain must be solid
David Smith is Vice President of Engineering and Innovation at MultiTech Systems
They also know that they have to help product development teams move through prototyping to pilots quickly The prototypes can get early user feedback and allow forecasts of costs But the sweet spot of innovation is where users want the new product and are willing to pay a price that sustains the business In the IoT sustaining the business is complicated by recurring expense and revenue This is where the pilot comes in The pilot validates the product and the business model
PoCs are not bad but they are not often necessary in business today Perhaps the best example of this is a place where PoCs are the lifeblood of the company Google X Their mission is to make moon shots learn from failure and solve grand problems with approaches no one else is willing to try If your mission is similar then PoCs are great If you are under pressure to grow and generate new forms of revenue using digital technology beware the PoC

As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues its rapid pace of growth therersquos been no shortage of inflated
expectations Platforms promising to ease the development deployment and management of IoT systems are
now counted in the hundreds You might believe that all you have to do is pick a platform you like the best from
the vendor you trust the most and go build your IoT system Well the story is not so simple
In reality nearly all of the IoT platforms available are designed to only support cloud-centric architectures These platforms centralize the ldquointelligencerdquo in the cloud and require data to be conveyed from the edge to do anything useful with it Considering the success of this cloud-centric model in IT (and in some IoT applications like fleet management) you may wonder whatrsquos the big deal
Simply put cloud-centric architectures arenrsquot applicable to a large class of IoT applications Most notably cloud-centric architectures fall short in supporting Industrial IoT (IIoT) sys-tems and struggle with more demanding Consumer IoT (CIoT) applications
The scariest part is that the situation will only get worse with the predicted increase in the number of connected things But there are some things more fundamental limiting cloud-centric architecturesrsquo applicability for IoT systems
Connectivity ndash Cloud-centric architectures assume that sufficient connectivity exists from the things to the cloud This is necessary for collecting the data from the edge and for pushing insight or control actions from the cloud to the edge Yet connectivity
is hard to guarantee for several IoTIIoT applications such as smart autonomous consumer and agricultural vehicles As you can imagine connectivity may be taken for granted in metropolitan areas but not so much in rural areas
Bandwidth ndash Cloud-centric computing assumes that sufficient bandwidth exists to ingest the data from the edge into the data center The challenge here is that several IIoT applications produce incredible volumes of data For instance a factory can easily produce a terabyte of data per day and these numbers will only grow with the continued digitalization of factories
Latency ndash Therersquos a large class of IIoT systems for which the latency required to send data to the cloud make decisions and eventually send data toward the edge to act on these decisions may be completely incompatible with the dynamics of the underlying system A key difference between IT and IoTIIoT is that the latter deals with physical entities As such the reaction time must be compatible with the dynamics of the physical entity or process with which the application interacts Failing to react with the proper latency can lead to system instability infrastructure damage or even put human operators at risk
Cloud
The IoT needs fog computingBy Angelo Corsaro
wwwiotdesignembedded-computingcom IoT Design Guide 2016 23
Cost ndash In the age of smartphones and very cheap data plans most people assume that the cost of connectivity is negligible The reality is quite different in IIoT due to either bandwidth requirements or connectivity points While in consumer applications the individual person (the consumer) pays for connectivity in most IoTIIoT applications (such as smart grids) itrsquos the operator who foots the bill As a result cost is usually carefully accounted for as it has an impact on operating expense and consequently on operational costs and margins
Security ndash Finally even assuming that all the above-listed issues are addressed a large class of IoTIIoT applications are not comfortable with or are incapable due to regulation of pushing their data to a cloud
Unless you can guarantee that the connectivity bandwidth latency cost and security requirements of your application are compatible with a cloud-centric architecture you need a dif-ferent paradigm and 999 percent of the IoT platforms avail-able on the market are not of much use
Fog computing is emerging as the main paradigm to address the connectivity bandwidth latency cost and security chal-lenges imposed by cloud-centric architectures The main idea behind fog computing is to provide elastic compute storage and communication close to the things so that data neednrsquot be sent all the way to the cloud or at least not all data and not all the time And the infrastructure is designed ground-up to deal with cyber- physical systems (CPS) as opposed to IT systems In other words the infrastructure is designed to consider the constraints imposed by the interactions with the physical world in terms of latency determinism load balancing and fault-tolerance
Defining fog computingTwo trends that are at the core of the IIoT revolution are soft-warization and digital twins
Softwarization is a trend that is disrupting several industries Its mantra is the replacement of specialized hardware implementa-tions such as a programmable logic controller (PLC) on an indus-trial floor with software running in a virtualized environment
Digital twins as the name hints are a digital representation (computerized model) of a physical entity (such as a compressor or a turbine) that is animated through the live data coming from its physical brother or sister Digital twins have several applications such as monitoring diagnostics and prognostics Additionally Digital twins provide useful insights to RampD teams for improving next-generation designs as well as continuously ameliorating the fidelity of their models
As softwarization transforms specialized hardware into soft-ware it creates an opportunity for convergence and consolida-tion If we take as an example soft PLCs (ie softwarized PLCs) all of a sudden they can be deployed on commodity hardware in a virtualized environment and decoupled from the IO logic that can remain closer to the source of data As a side note
the general idea of softwarization applied to the factory floor is often referred to as software-defined machines or software-defined automation
As a result of softwarization and digital twins there is an opportunity for modernizing the factory floor consolidating its hardware and improving availability productivity manage-ability resilience to failure and innovation agility In essence as a result of softwarization there is the opportunity to manage these systems as a data center As softwarization is a trend that is impacting a large class of industries it is worth highlighting that the transformations described above along with its ben-efits are not just limited to industrial automation But there is a catch the large majority of these systems whether in the industrial transportation or medical domains are subject to the performance constraints previously discussed
These systems interact with the physical world and as such they need to react at the pace imposed by the physical entity with which they interact As a consequence while traditional cloud infrastructure would be functionally perfect to address these use cases it turns out to be inadequate as it is typi-cally not designed with these non-functional requirements in mind and is often too heavyweight Cloud infrastructures were designed for IT systems in which a delay in the response time may create a bored or upset customer but will not cause a robot arm to smash against a wall another machine or worse
Now it should be clear that fog computing is not just about applying distributed computing to the edge Fog computing is about providing an infrastructure that while virtualizing elastic compute storage and communication is able to address the non-functional properties characteristic of these domains
Fog computing makes it possible to provision and manage softwarized hardware (eg a soft PLC digital twins analytics and anything else that may need to run on the system) while ensuring the proper non-functional requirements and bringing all the benefits listed above in terms of convergence manage-ability availability agility and efficiency improvement
Fog computing provides a flexible infrastructure to provision deploy monitor and manage software at the edge This should clarify how just deploying some logic on an edge gateway isnrsquot fog computing and neither is fog computing traditional dis-tributed computing

Fluid computing Unifying cloud fog and mist computingWhat is mist computing As the name implies mist is closer to the ground than fog which in turn is closer to the ground than the cloud But beside the meteorological analogies what does this really mean As yoursquove probably guessed this means that mist computing is about bringing elastic compute storage and communication directly onto the things Thus if we continue with the meteorological analogy cloud infrastructure is high in the data center fog infrastructure is between the things and the cloud and mist infrastructure is simply the things
The goals of mist computing essentially are two
1 Enabling resource harvesting by exploiting the computation storage and communication capabilities available on the things
2 Allowing arbitrary computations to be provisioned deployed managed and monitored on the things
As you can imagine things in IoT applications are extremely heterogeneous in terms of platforms resources and con-nectivity Thus the main challenge for mist infrastructures is to be sufficiently lightweight to be able to establish a fabric that virtualizes compute storage and communication without consuming too many resources
If we look from a distance at a generic IoTIIoT system we will realize that from an infrastructural perspective we will have to deal with data centers that are in a public or private cloud edge infrastructure and the actual things IoTIIoT systems will need to exploit resources that span these three tiers and provi-sion deploy monitor and manage applications and services across the tiers On the other hand if we look at the techno-logical landscape there is a complete fragmentation between the technologies used for cloud computing fog computing and the emerging mist computing This fragmentation makes it difficult to establish a unified end-to-end perspective of the system and it makes it practically impossible to treat the system as a uniform and virtualized compute storage and communication fabric
At this point the question is ldquoWhat can we do about itrdquo
The first step toward addressing a problem is recognizing it To this end that means raising awareness about the challenges that this fragmentation may induce The second step is to establish a vision of how the problem can be solved so that the industry can internalize it and eventually address it
Letrsquos focus for a moment on what would make sense for the user of an IoTIIoT platform as opposed to the technical details of whether cloud fog or mist is the right answer
From a high-level perspective why should a designer of an IoTIIoT application care whether he or she will be using cloud fog or mist computing paradigms The only thing that really matters is that the platform provides a way to provision
manage and monitor applications in such a way that appli-cations can meet their functional and non-functional require-ments The functional and non-functional requirements drive the allocation of applications on things fog or cloud layers ndash but anything else is just a detail isnrsquot it
Fluid computing is an architectural principle based on the abstraction of the topological details of the computational infrastructure Fluid architectures provide an end-to-end fabric that can be used to seamlessly provision deploy manage and monitor applications regardless of whether the underlying resource is provided by the cloud infrastructure the fog infra-structure or by things
Fluid computing unifies under a single abstraction of cloud fog and mist computing In other words cloud fog and mist computing can be seen as application of fluid computing in a specific bounded context
As the IoTIIoT market evolves expect a convergence of cloud fog and mist computing platforms toward a fluid computing platform This convergence will be necessary if not essential to accelerate the adoption of IoT

CIA and TPM to secure the IoTBy Guenther Fischer
CIA TPM and IoT You might ask what these three acronyms have in common and how they relate to each other
To make a long story short it is all about security trust and reliability
The abbreviation CIA in this context does not mean the Central Intelligence Agency It is an abbreviation for Confidentiality Integrity and Authenticity The so-called CIA principle is a simple but widely used security model covering three key tenets that should be guaranteed by all secure systems
Confidentiality is intended in the sense of hiding information from people not authorized to view it It is perhaps the most obvious aspect of the CIA model when it comes to security At the same time it is also the one most under attack Cryptographic symmetric and asymmetric encryption methods are examples of means to ensure confidentiality when transmitting data from one computer system to another
Integrity on the other hand represents the certainty that data is accurate and not changed on its journey from the original sender to the intended receiver A common security attack often called a man-in-the-middle attack intercepts data and makes changes to it before passing it on to the intended receiver Cryptographic digital signature methods are one way to attest the integrity of code and data
In addition authenticity is needed to address the concern about genuine information In other words you want to make sure the information you receive actually comes from the source that claims to be its genuine origin Cryptographic digital certificates are used to prove the authenticity of the issuer
Now that we understand why CIA is important for a secure system letrsquos move to the third acronym IoT
After many years of being an overhyped marketing term the so-called Internet of Things (IoT) is starting to become mature and real Mark Weiser created the term ldquoubiquitous computingrdquo first in his famous Scientific American article ldquoThe Computer for the 21st Centuryrdquo pub lished September 1991 His thinking was so ahead of his time that it seemed like science fiction to most of his readers In 2016 his vision has become reality Ubiquitous computing (or ubicomp for short) became todayrsquos ndash perhaps overhyped ndash IoT
Weiser started his article ldquoThe most profound technologies are those that disappear They weave themselves into the fabric of

everyday life until they are indistinguishable from itrdquo He pre-dicted that computing devices would become commonplace and part of all aspects of life and he was right Just consider for example the consumer gadgets like fitness bands smart watches smart phones or navigation systems that send and receive data all day long Or consider the home which is con-nected to a power grid where a smart meter allows the energy provider to effectively calculate the resources needed to cover the demand of all households Interconnected computing devices are everywhere nowadays
Shifting focus to industrial applications todayrsquos business IoT applications are developed together with devices and services coming from various sectors of industry information tech-nology automation and production technology aerospace maritime and naval systems railways car manufacturers and their suppliers energy providers agricultural medical tech-nology and building automation All of those share character-istics including long life in the field reliability and robustness in harsh environments and reliable long-term availability
IoT systems rely on public networks but public networks are not secure environments While IoT creates new capabilities and services allows greater efficiencies increases flexibility and enables the customization of single production units it also opens up previously closed systems and allows attackers to get access to those systems from the outside world
Attackers often use reverse engineering techniques to iden-tify software vulnerabilities which they can exploit to create counterfeit products steal sensitive data or tamper with the device for sabotage and espionage purposes This can lead to serious and dangerous hacks as recent attacks on safety-critical automotive aerospace and medical components have shown
This brings us back to the CIA principle we started with The only way to avoid situations like those listed above is to apply

the CIA security model to the world of IoT devices As we have learned CIA is built around cryprograhic operations Todayrsquos modern cryprography leverages standard crypto protocols The Dutch cryptographer Auguste Kerckhoffs stated a maxim in the 19th century that would become known as Kerckhoffsrsquo principle A cryptosystem should be secure even if everything about the system except for the key is public knowledge
I repeat everything is public knowledge except for the key which is needed to encrypt and decrypt the content either directly or in a derived form So how do you store a key in a secure manner This brings me to the second acronym TPM the Trusted Platform Module
In the world of cryptography there is a ton of other acronyms referring to the various protocols and methods that are used to ensure the CIA principle To name just a few of them you have DES AES for symmetric cryptography and RSA ECC for asymmetric cryptography The list of acronyms goes on and on The really important part however is that the algorithms themselves are typically not secret they are publicly available just as Kerckhoffsrsquo principle demands it The only part that really needs to be kept secret is the key itself This sounds simple but it is pretty hard to achieve To keep the key secret you need a secure place like a safe which we will call a secure element to securely store the key A TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is such a secure element and it offers a lot more including the crypto protocols
In a nutshell a TPM is a specialized and dedicated device that offers crypto operations and secure storage for secret keys all in one This allows you to store the key in a secure place and even more importantly it allows the key to stay there so it never leaves its secure location All important crypto operations are done inside of the TPM itself and only the results are exposed This prevents the key from getting compromised In case you want to know why it is important to have this dedicated functionality separated in a dedicated device I recommend you to read the following two articles These should make it obvious how impor-tant it is to have a dedicated secure element like a TPM inside a computing device to make it secure trustable and reliable
So how can incidents like these be prevented Use technology that creates secured code and licenses that can be bound to a secure element in the target system ensuring that the code and the licensed features can only be used on an individual system License creation and deployment can be integrated into existing business processes such as ERP systems or e-commerce platforms This mechanism opens up new business models such as feature-on-demand upselling and time-based or pay-per-use licenses for the IoT and other intelligent devices The result is improved security from attacks malware theft and other malfeasance for code and IP

The Internet of Things (IoT) has been touted as the next Industrial Revolution with pervasive connectivity and the insights it can generate offering a new digital lens for viewing and managing the physical world But in addition to the tangible process efficiencies and quality of life improvements expected from the IoT itrsquos also a stepping stone to perhaps the greatest achievement in human history artificial intelligence (AI)
In many ways the technological progression of AI and the IoT are intertwined IoT will provide the information that fuels our data-driven economy while AI is the engine that will consume it Though both paradigms are still in their infancy eachrsquos suc-cess is contingent upon the otherrsquos The IoT can never reach its potential without a mechanism for autonomously processing large heterogeneous data sets just as AI is incapable of expanding without being fed massive amounts of data
Like many other IoT-enabling technologies however AI research and development has largely been restricted to the IT sector as the complexity of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) hidden Markov models (HMMs) natural language pro-cessing and other disciplines used in the creation of machine learning algorithms and deep neural networks (DNNs) requires storage and computing resources usually only accessible on a data center scale Likewise programming methodologies have been tuned to IT developers with tools such as R Python SQL Excel RapidMiner Hadoop Spark and Tableau being the most widely employed by data analysts and computer scientists working in the AI field
This gap between AI and data collection at the physicaldigital interchange is a common complication for the IoT which is just beginning to drive the integration of IT and operational tech-nology (OT) Nonetheless itrsquos a gap that must be bridged
AI for the embedded IoTOne of AIrsquos early excursions into the OT space came with the release of the NVIDIA Jetson TK1 platform in 2014 Based on the Tegra K1 system on chip (SoC) and its 192-core Kepler GPU and quad-core ARM Cortex-A15 the Jetson TK1 brought data center-level compute performance to computer vision robotics and automotive applications but also provided embedded engineers with a development platform for the CUDA Deep Neural Network (cuDNN) library The cuDNN primitives enabled operations such as activation functions forward and backward convolution normalization and tensor transformations required for DNN training and inferencing and the combination of this technology with the Jetson TK1rsquos 10 W power envelope meant
that deep learning frameworks such as Caffe and Torch could be accessed and executed on smaller OT devices
Today that groundwork has been extended as the Jetson TK1rsquos successor the Jetson TX1 system on module (SoM) contains 256 CUDA cores an ARM Cortex-A57 CPU and is capable of 1 TFLOPS performance Machine learning tools and libraries are also more widely available through the NVIDIA JetPack 23 an evolution of the original set of cuDNN libraries that better serves OT developers by packaging the CUDA Toolkit 8 devel-opment environment for building GPU-based applications in C and C++ camera and Video4Linux2 (V4L2) APIs the TensorRT inferencing engine and cuDNN 51 which now sup-ports recurrent neural networks (RNNs) and long short-term memory (LSTM) networks An NVIDIA benchmark shows that optimizations in the Jetson TX1 and JetPack 23 can permit up to 20 times better energy efficiency than CPUs running com-parable deep learning workloads while still maintaining an 8-10 W power draw on the TX1 under typical workloads
Never stop learningAs the IoT produces data for the AI revolution the need to monitor the progression of machine learning technologies has also become apparent This not only ensures that intelligent sys-tems endowed with learning capabilities properly pursue the objectives of their education but also that human developers properly refine the underlying frameworks and libraries upon which machine learning is based to meet desired end goals
For this purpose Cornell Computer Science PhD Jason Yosinski created the Deep Visualization Toolbox an open-source project that allows users to observe the various layers of a DNN to infer how machine learning platforms compute answers to complex problems A video demonstration of the Deep Visualization Toolbox running on the Jetson TX1 devel-oper kit can be viewed in the web version of this article at httpbitlyAIforIoT and for those of you fortunate enough to be visiting CES in 2017 NVIDIA typically showcases deep learning technologies at its automotive booth in North Hall
Itrsquos just the beginning but an IoT inflection point is occurring at the intersection of IT and embedded That inflection point is AI

Digital certificates such as X509 used by the transport layer security (TLS) protocol are ingrained in
almost every aspect of our digital lives Whether sending a secure e-mail checking a bank account balance or
performing any other action that requires an encrypted online connection these certificates authenticate the
identity of parties involved in the electronic exchange of information to prevent for example man-in-the-middle
attacks whereby a malicious actor impersonates one entity and potentially alters or misrepresents the content
being exchanged
AWS Microchip deliver trust anchor for end-to-end IoT securityBy Brandon Lewis Technology Editor
Certification authorities (CAs) sign digital certificates as proof that they have validated a root certificate containing an entityrsquos public key which is mathematically associated with a unique private key that remains secret as part of an entityrsquos asymmetric publicprivate key pair (Figures 1A and 1B) This key exchange and verification mechanism between user and CA instills confidence in any recipient of the digital certificate that its sender is in fact who they attest to be
However outside of the enterpriseIT community digital certificates have primarily been used to validate servers only Client authentication is typically not implemented in most applications because it requires certificate provisioning for large sets of heterogeneous end users which complicates the management of a public key infra-structure (PKI) But with the Internet of Things (IoT) introducing billions of clients that not only retrieve information from the cloud but also send data to it the requirement for mutual authentication ndash or the immediate two-way authentication of both clients and servers ndash has steadily increased to ensure overall system integrity
AWS mutual authentication and Just-In-Time RegistrationWith the release of the AWS IoT platform last year Amazon Web Services (AWS) intro-duced mutual authentication to the IoT space As mentioned mutual authentication
technology helps verify the integrity of all parties in a system of systems archi-tecture but also introduces problems related to certificate provisioning for client-side devices
In response AWS released a service this April called ldquoUse Your Own Certificaterdquo which allows original equipment manu-facturers (OEMs) to register digital certificates signed by a third-party CA with the AWS IoT platform using an API The Use Your Own Certificate feature implies that the key exchange required for the creation of a digital certificate can occur independent of a client con-nection with AWS IoT servers and per-haps even before the device itself is connected to the Internet introducing a

new possibility for OEMs Unique cryp-tographic keys can be generated for each device during production signed by a CA as part of an offline digital cer-tificate verification process and then loaded into the AWS IoT platform to await a service request from systems containing the corresponding key pairs This process also lays the groundwork for the latest capability in the AWS IoT portfolio Just-In-Time Registration (JITR) announced in August
JITR is somewhat of a turning point for the IoT in that as the term implies devices can automatically connect to and be recognized by the AWS IoT cloud the first time they request service from the platform This type of immediate autonomous onboarding of devices with cloud services is critical given the pro-jected number of IoT connections but is contingent upon the devices connecting being pre-equipped with unique trusted
private keys in order to enable services such as the Use Your Own Certificate API and to prevent impersonation attacks (Figure 2) It also requires that devices be equipped with the correct server configurations and policies to help facilitate the onboarding process which must also be kept secure
FIGURE 2Just-in-time registration (JITR) allows devices to connect with AWS IoT servers the first time they attempt a service connection but requires that the Use Your Own Certificate API be leveraged first to upload device certificates into AWS IoT

The challenge of device manufacturers is to ensure that these keys and poli-cies remain secret and secure from the time a device is manufactured through the onboarding process and even after a product reaches end of life (EOL) Previously this has been attempted through the installation of hardware security modules (HSMs) in secure rooms at factories periodic factory security audits and time box proto-cols that attempt to define an accept-able onboarding period for devices Unfortunately these methods tend to be either expensive or inexact and also donrsquot account for threats that could compromise systems deployed in the field such as physical tampering
Hardware-based elliptic curve cryptography anchors trust in IoT 2016 has also seen significant news from the other side of the IoT technology spectrum as semiconductor vendor Microchip acquired competitor Atmel for approximately $36 billion earlier this year Among other technologies the pur-chase netted Microchip access to Atmelrsquos portfolio of security ICs including elliptic curve cryptography-based (ECC-based) CryptoAuthentication devices such as the ECC508A (Figure 3)
The ECC508A is noteworthy in the framework of AWS IoTrsquos mutual authen-tication Use Your Own Certificate and JITR capabilities in that the elliptic curve
Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) key agreement protocol it employs enables the internal gener-ation and storage of private keys These keys remain protected through the life of the device due to tamper-resistant architectural features of the chip including internally encrypted memory isolated power rails a memory and logic shield internal clock generation and a lack of probe points that protect against real-world threats such as emissions analysis microprobe power cycling and timing attacks This secure storage space can also be used to house pre-configured AWS server policies resulting in a device that contains all of the information needed for digital certificate authentication and onboarding required by JITR
As seen in wolfSSLrsquos wolfCrypt benchmark of an embedded SSLTLS stack running on the ECC508A the hardware-based crypto acceleration of the chip also offloads encryption tasks from a host processor resulting in improved overall system perfor-mance (Figure 4)
ECC508A and AWS IoT The processAs discussed previously private keys are mathematically correlated with the public keys required for the creation of digital certificates Therefore the ECC508A becomes the root of trust for any device that equips it
In the context of a mutually authenticated AWS IoT deployment leveraging the ECC508A Microchip can act as the CA both generating and signing device certifi-cates in parallel as part of the certificate chain verification process for an IoT OEM
The ECC508A is a 2 mm x 3 mm tamper-resistant CryptoAuthentication device based on elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) cryptography algorithms that provide hardware-based cryptographic key generation storage and countermeasures

The OEM would then load the resulting digital certificates into their AWS IoT account through the Use Your Own Certificate API where they would remain until an incoming TLS request from a device containing the partnered ECC508A key pair triggers the JITR process
The procedure from key generation through cloud onboarding requires a one-time setup shown in Figure 5 As keys are generated in a secure Microchip facility and the key management infrastructure is already in place OEMs are able to access robust security and automatic cloud authentication by adding a single component to their bill of materials (BoM)
Dropping anchor on IoT securitySecurity is essential to the continued rollout of IoT in every market and discrete solutions that allow device makers to separate security from business functions and value adds will enable more innovative products in the future An ECC508A evaluation kit is available for interested parties through Microchip and distribu-tors such as DigiKey and Mouser with trials and tutorials of AWS IoT accessible at awsamazoncomiot

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) promises to deliver a step change in efficiency and a leap towards
autonomy for industrial automation and other sectors such as security and surveillance and building management
The prospect of self-monitoring self-managing factories and manufacturing processes is no longer beyond the
distant horizon The ability to remotely identify monitor and control every individual device in a manufacturing
process network with minimal or no human intervention offers opportunities that were beyond comprehension just
a decade ago ndash even in the eyes of engineers working at the very forefront of industrial manufacturing technology
Advances in sensing connectivity and control fuel IIoT designsBy Wiren Perera
The key drivers of the IIoT are more measurement of an expanding number of parameters fast and extensive analysis of and reactions to data and accelerated enhancements to processes Successful IIoT design and management can mean continuously optimized efficiency reduced operating costs and more resilient self-learning processes At the fulcrum of this are a number of semiconductor technolo-gies on offer and in development at some of the worldrsquos top electronic component manufacturers
Vision-based sensing and energy harvestingSensors are at the heart of the IIoT gathering more and more data But to measure more we need to sense more ndash more parameters more accurately and more often Overlaying software on established technologies can bring incremental gains but to make the necessary advances we need to add more parameters with accuracy as each additional parameter can make a system smarter
Sensor technology that measures ldquotraditionalrdquo parameters such as temperature light position level humidity and pressure continues to advance But despite becoming smaller more cost-effective and often embedded each sensor is dedicated and hence limited in its functionality and versatility Vision-based sensing enables a new paradigm Corollary to the concept of ldquoa picture is worth a thousand wordsrdquo once a machine can ldquoseerdquo much more is possible much faster
With vision sensing programmability brings flexibility enabling a single vision system to sense missing or misplaced components and other process vari-ables The trend towards vision-based sensing ndash both still and video ndash will make future systems more intelligent flexible and ultimately more valuable
Current advances in machine vision in many situations can provide better sight than the human eye Coupled with the reduction in risks associated with human error it enables a new degree of adapt-ability and speed for reconfigurable production processes This could be any-thing from optimization based on real-time events to the reconfiguration of a system that may allow multiple products to be made on a single line They only require a simple change from one control

FIGURE 1 ON Semiconductorrsquos Smart Passive Sensor family are wireless energy harvesting sensors that can function autonomously in space-constrained environments
program to the next and the system is ready to run This has obvious cost time and labor benefits and reduces the risks associated with error
However the distributed nature of the IIoT and the requirement to place mul-tiple sensors at various points of mea-surement presents another challenge the reliable delivery of power
Successful sensors especially those utilized in IIoT designs have four basic attributes they need to be self-pow-ered collect data broadcast their status and have the ability to connect Wireless sensors with the ability to harvest energy (ie self-powered) are essential if the IIoT is to advance and realize its potential Wireless energy harvesting solutions such as ON Semiconductorrsquos Smart Passive Sensors are an example of technology that can meet these require-ments (Figure 1) These devices can be deployed in hard-to-access space- constrained environments with no direct power source allowing them to function autonomously
Instant access to dataSensors gather data and then post-pro-cessing and analytics generate valuable information along with the ability to control factories and processes
The processing of large sustained flows of data associated with real-time sensing for the IIoT is reliant on the cloud This analysis requires platforms that can store large data sets across distributed clus-ters often combining and processing data from many geographically dis-persed sources In global organizations for example a problem in a Chinese smart factory can trigger an almost in- stantaneous process improvement in a similar factory located somewhere else in the world
Advances in secure communications and authentication also allow mobile devices to connect to these networks bringing opportunities for instantaneous access to information Flexible access can then drive value into the business and its relationships with the outside world In
fact this IToperational technology (OT) integration as shown in Figure 2 has the potential to bring the greatest benefits to a broad range of industrial automation applications
Combining sensing connectivity and actuationMany industrial control systems are very sophisticated and require accurate or careful often rapid positioning This could mean anything from the speed and direction of a cooling fan to a motor or servo that adjusts a valve position or a stepper motor for linear or angular positioning in a precision task Alongside the rapid development of sensing for the IIoT the actuators and their controllers that provide the physical reac-tions to gathered analyzed data are seeing similar advancements
However integrated manufacturing processes require a broad range of sensing tech-nologies be combined with connectivity and actuation which creates design and expertise challenges Fully integrated hardware and software development platforms that combine these elements are crucial to help speed and ease the customization of specific functions for adoption into end products Modularity makes these platforms extensible to new IoTIIoT functions and devices that are based on new advances allowing more rapid adoption (Figure 3 page 14) Open-source support is also impor-tant since a broad ecosystem and interoperability are crucial for the IoTrsquos success

Sensors data processing and actuators are all significant building blocks of an IIoT application However without a means to communicate share data and transmit receive and execute instructions the IIoT cannot function
Considering the IIoTrsquos unique requirements not all standards and protocols are satis-factory The technologies suitable for smartphone personal area networks (PANs) or single-supplier standards are unlikely to be successful Instead itrsquos important for IIoT
platforms to demonstrate flexibility by supporting a broad array of standards including Thread SIGFOX EnOcean M-Bus KNX ZigBee and proprietary protocols The adoption of a software-defined radio (SDR) approach allows a single platform to support multiple pro-tocols which will be a requirement for platforms designed support multiple applications
ZigBee and Thread are complementary 802154 standards and a liaison relationship between the two industry organizations should help drive broad adoption of these protocols within smart home applications Thread is an IP-based (IPv6) networking protocol built on open standards for low-power mesh networks that can easily and securely connect hundreds of devices to each other and directly to the cloud Security and interoperability are two of Threadrsquos key value-added capabilities
Conversely SIGFOX enables wide-area networks (WANs) that provide relatively low bandwidth communications with fixed or mobile smart objects or sensors deployed over large areas Example applications for this protocol include the nationwide tracking of shipping containers or vehicles and communication with geographically spread assets such as smart-city equipment or oil pumps and pipelines
Technology convergence for the IIoTAt the core of achieving the IIoTrsquos true potential will be the effective interplay and connection of sensing computing and control technologies in robust energy-efficient implementations Every facet of technology is evolving towards this goal with both discrete solutions and integrated development platforms that are enabling embedded and IoT design engineers to transform yester-dayrsquos vision of automated self- managing industry into todayrsquos reality

IoT developers often consider faster time-to-market and lower product maintenance costs when deploying firmware update mechanisms as the capability allows them to stage feature roll-outs enabledisable features or functionality on devices in the field fix firmware bugs after a product has been released reduce the need for expensive technical support and enable better overall end user experiences However if proper security measures are not in place this feature may be misused and the consequences of a successful exploitation can be disastrous ranging from intellectual property (IP) theft and product cloning all the way to unauthor-ized control of the deployed system For example a successful exploitation of firmware update mechanisms that do not support verifying a new firmware imagersquos authenticity in a hospital drug pump can lead to a hacker tampering with the dos-ages of drugs delivered to patients
Firmware updates and their vulnerabilitiesFigure 1 shows a typical firmware update process The steps include
1 The product manufacturer creates and loads an initial firmware image into the device in a trusted environment
2 The product is deployed with the initial firmware into the field
3 When a firmware update is required the product manufacturer creates a new firmware image
4 The manufacturer sends the new firmware image to the end usertechnician or to the product directly through an untrusted communication channel
5 The new firmware is loaded onto the device in the field
In Figure 1 potential security threats are apparent during the ldquotransportrdquo phase when new firmware is transferred via an untrusted communication channel or during the ldquofirmware loadingrdquo phase when the new firmware is downloaded onto the device in the field
The new firmware image being down-loaded to the device corresponds to the IP of the product manufacturer and the target asset Threats to this asset include
1 Reverse engineering of the firmware binary image into assembly or a higher level engineering language to analyze its functionality and contents
2 Product cloning where a firmware image from the product manufacturer is loaded onto a device that is not authorized
3 Alteration of the firmware distributed by the product manufacturer
4 Loading an unauthorized firmware image onto the device which may correspond to an older firmware version from the product manufacturer with known bugs or code created by an unauthorized party or firmware not intended for the specific device (firmware downgrading)
5 Interrupting the firmware update process such that the firmware is only partially updated resulting in a device being unavailable for service
It is evident that the aforementioned threats can have disastrous conse-quences for the product manufacturer service provider and end user thus indi-cating an intense need for embedded designers to strongly consider measures that increase the overall security of the firmware update mechanism

Secure firmware update considerations for ultra-low power MCUsBy Bhargavi Nisarga and Luis Reynoso
16 IoT Design Guide 2016 wwwiotdesignembedded-computingcom
In-field firmware updates are an increasingly
popular feature in microcontroller-based
(MCU-based) applications These updates
enable new firmware images to be downloaded
onto a devicersquos memory providing an effective way
for product manufacturers to offer services and support to products that are already deployed in the
field The Internet of Things (IoT) era is driving increased connectivity in the embedded world making
this one of the most crucial features for todayrsquos connected products ndash so long as they are secure
Secure firmware update considerations for design engineersFigure 2 shows an example representation of network-connected systems In this case the new firmware image is transferred either from the product manufacturer
FIGURE 2A secure firmware update includes security measures dictated by the interface protocols used for network communications as well as application-level security that ensures firmware images are secured before data enters the network
FIGURE 1 Shown here is a typical firmware update process
(eg a new feature roll-out or firmware bug fix) or the service provider (eg to enabledisable features or services in a product) to the end nodes over local or wide area networks (LANsWANs) and may involve authentication from end user applications (eg via mobile devices and web applications) to per-form the firmware update
Embedded systems engineers designing firmware update capabilities for IoT sys-tems need to not only understand the assets that need to be protected and the potential threats but also the capa-bilities and limitations of their system especially as they pertain to cost per-formance or power consumption in constrained systems As a starting point an effective security solution that incor-porates the right combination of crypto-graphic algorithms and protocol-level measures must be considered
Cryptographic algorithms provide a means of protecting the privacy of con-tent while ensuring its authenticity and integrity Not all cryptographic algo-rithms are the same but they are based on four cryptographic primitives that handle one or more components of the con-fidentiality integrity and authenticity (CIA) triad These primitives are
1 Encryption and decryption Encryption is the process by which data (plaintext) is transformed into something random and meaningless (ciphertext) while decryption performs the opposite job These primitives provide both confidentiality and authenticity and are used to prevent the reverse engineering of firmware
2 One-way functions Functions such as hash are mathematical algorithms that are easy to calculate in one direction but difficult in the other They are used to obtain a digital ldquofingerprintrdquo that ensures the integrity of firmware before it is transported into the field

3 Digital signatures Used to detect if a message was altered after it was signed thus providing not only integrity but also authentication These make use of public-key cryptography to generate a signature that can only be properly decrypted using the manufacturerrsquos public key
4 Message authentication code (MAC) Similar to a digital signature except that it uses symmetric keys to encrypt and decrypt a hash generated by the manufacturer If the hash value decrypted by the receiver matches the hash value calculated for the message then the message is valid In this way MACs provide both authenticity and integrity
Some factors that influence the selection of cryptographic algorithms include performance requirements the security needs of the system memory footprint energy consumption and reliability and acceptance of the algorithm by the security
community (such as organizations like the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST))
In addition to cryptographic algorithms protocol-level measures against threats such as firmware downgrading should be considered As mentioned previ-ously firmware downgrading is an attack in which an older defective firm-ware image (encrypted or not) is re-sent to a device in order to revert it to a vul-nerable state A version check of both the firmware and keys can ensure that only new versions are programmed during an update
An attacker can also interrupt a firmware update process using several methods (power loss physical connection failure bits flipped during transmission etc) This can lead to a device executing an incomplete or invalid firmware image rendering it useless or in a compromised state In order to address this scenario firmware update mechanisms need to ensure that an incomplete or corrupted image is not executed and if neces-sary should revert the system to a valid previously used image
Cryptographic bootloaders for connected embedded systemsFirmware updates are typically handled by the device bootloader A bootloader is a piece of code that resides on device memory and has the ability to reprogram the application memory space However finding or creating an embedded boot-loader with the security required for network-connected systems can be challenging For example a system may need the ability to update cryptographic keys so cryptographic functions and a bootloader protocol should support upgrading keys and increased network security during the firmware update pro-cess The bootloader protocol should also accommodate verifying firmware update versions and packet tracking to check if all packets of a specific firmware update image were received
As discussed the selection of a crypto-graphic algorithm is critical because it not only sets the level of security of the sys- tem but it also impacts its performance

Crypto-Bootloader solution imple-mented on MSP430FR5969 devices encapsulates most of the security fea-tures and considerations outlined here (Figure 3)
Securing firmware for the Internet of ThingsIn summary increasingly network embedded products are creating the potential for advanced security threats making in-field firmware updates more vulnerable to remote attacks and exploitations Therefore it is important for embedded designers to consider securing their firmware update mecha-nisms through solutions that provide the right level of security while balancing the cost power and performance con-straints of IoT products

memory footprint and power consump-tion With this in mind AES-CCM repre-sents an optimal solution for embedded bootloaders AES-CCM is a cryptographic bootloader (Crypto-Bootloader) built on two cryptographic primitives AES Counter Mode (AES-CTR) for encryp-tion and cipher block chaining message
authentication code (CBC-MAC) for integrity and authenticity verification Due to the low overhead provided by AES-CCM it provides a perfect balance between increased security and low memory footprint high throughput and efficient power consumption
The selection of an MCU implementing the bootloader should not be over-looked either Designers should con-sider MCUs with features like hardware encryption engines a memory protec-tion unit (MPU) low-power peripherals and memory technologies that allow fast readwrite cycles for increased throughput The MSP430FR5969 MCU from Texas Instruments is an example of such an MCU that integrates an AES-256 co-processor to accelerate encryption algorithms MPU and MPU-IP encap-sulation (MPU-IPE) modules to enable increased protection and encapsulation of memory regions as well as up to 64 KB of FRAM memory for high performance and ultra-low power consumption The
MSP430FR5969 MCUs integrate a Crypto-Bootloader as well as MPUMPU-IPE modules and an AES-256 security co-processor

Herersquos the thing The IoT doesnrsquot need PoCs
I made this statement the other day in a product development team meeting and received looks of shock and disbelief The company with whom I was working has customers asking for help solving a specific problem and we had a multi-disciplinary team reviewing the architecture for a solution The looks I got said ldquoHow can we begin a product development without a PoCrdquo The answer is easy when you consider the definition of a PoC
According to Wikipedia ldquoA proof of concept is a realization of a certain method or idea to demonstrate its feasibility or a demonstration in principle whose purpose is to verify that some concept or theory has the potential of being used A proof of concept is usually small and may or may not be completerdquo
ldquoFeasibilityrdquo is the key word here Feasibility is the role of technology in the Innovation Venn diagram (Figure 1) Is the product technically feasible Can we even make innovation function For the most part after nearly 15 cycles of Moorersquos law and two generations of the Internet this means ldquoDoes the product violate the laws of physicsrdquo
Today particularly in the IoT ecosystem anything is feasible Further one could argue that if the product is a pure software or Internet play it is by definition feasible
The harder questions for new prod-ucts today are the other two parts of the Innovation Venn Is the product
Gateway
I have heard complaints from several Internet of Things (IoT) sales and business leaders about how
proofs-of-concept (PoCs) are slowing them down In some cases they are just frustrated with how often
they are told ldquoWe need to do a PoCrdquo by a development team in response to a request to begin a new product
or offering development In other cases they are frustrated with how the tools used for PoCs ndash development
kits or Maker-ware devices like Arduino and Raspberry Pi ndash prevent them and their customers from deploying
scalable solutions once the concept is proven

desirable If so at what price Is the business viable These are the tough questions facing new offerings today
Therersquos the rub A PoC does nothing to address user desirability or busi-ness viability A PoC only addresses technology
ldquoYoursquove just renamed the PoC as a prototyperdquo you say But therersquos a big difference between the two
In a PoC the developer is not con-strained by manufacturing costs or user acceptance The issue is simple Can I make this offering work Maker tools are excellent for this This is one of the reasons by the way that when one looks for Maker products most of the suppliers are targeting educational organizations Education is about one example one proof that something works one PoC
A prototype however is the first itera-tion of the new product A prototype is built to a product requirements docu-ment (PRD) and that PRD has manu-facturing supply chain constraints certification constraints user experience needs and cost expectations One-off tools like Arduino or Raspberry Pi were not designed for these constraints So when a product development is started with a PoC and uses Maker tools the

The IoT has put a slightly different spin on the product development process because of the addition of an ongoing user-supported experience Business models depend upon ongoing revenue so innovators have to address this need during development This is the role of the pilot The pilot puts the product in a sales-ready format into the hands of enough users in context to measure their adoption of sustained use of and willingness to pay for the product Figure 2 outlines the roles of PoCs prototypes and pilots in the product development process The fastest progression for product development for the IoT is PoC rarr Prototype(s) rarr Pilot rarr Product
The good news is that good suppliers of the IoT technology stack know that their offerings have to work in production have to scale and have to pass rigorous testing

Sometimes small changes make a big difference Switching your organizationrsquos thinking from proof-of-concept to proof-of-innovation is one of those changes
Three ways to tell you are wasting time with a PoC1 Examples of the offering exist in
either the lab or with competitors ndash Note that the example can be in other applications or markets For example self-driving cars moved immediately to prototypes because auto-piloted airplanes and drones provided the proof that the technology works for autonomous vehicle operations
2 No new hardware is needed ndash If your new offering depends upon the integration or is a software appli-cation of data then you are not doing a PoC Your technology is feasible it just may not be desirable or viable
3 None of the questions to be answered by the PoC effort involve the laws of physics
Three things that make a good pilot1 You have a sales-ready user
experience ndash An IoT pilot not only has to measure user adoption it also has to measure churn Too much churn will defeat the business To measure these characteristics with confidence across a statistically significant number of users the product must have a sales-ready user experience
2 The product is re-certification tested ndash Since the pilot product is not in fact sold it does not have to be marked UL CE FCC etc But it better be ready to mark As soon as the pilot validates adoption churn and price the sales team is going want to see products shipping so you canrsquot go back and do another spin Be ready
3 The supply chain is solid and meets cost expectations ndash The pilot will measure user adoption at price so if it is successful production will begin Production will have to deliver on that price so the supply chain must be solid
David Smith is Vice President of Engineering and Innovation at MultiTech Systems
They also know that they have to help product development teams move through prototyping to pilots quickly The prototypes can get early user feedback and allow forecasts of costs But the sweet spot of innovation is where users want the new product and are willing to pay a price that sustains the business In the IoT sustaining the business is complicated by recurring expense and revenue This is where the pilot comes in The pilot validates the product and the business model
PoCs are not bad but they are not often necessary in business today Perhaps the best example of this is a place where PoCs are the lifeblood of the company Google X Their mission is to make moon shots learn from failure and solve grand problems with approaches no one else is willing to try If your mission is similar then PoCs are great If you are under pressure to grow and generate new forms of revenue using digital technology beware the PoC

As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues its rapid pace of growth therersquos been no shortage of inflated
expectations Platforms promising to ease the development deployment and management of IoT systems are
now counted in the hundreds You might believe that all you have to do is pick a platform you like the best from
the vendor you trust the most and go build your IoT system Well the story is not so simple
In reality nearly all of the IoT platforms available are designed to only support cloud-centric architectures These platforms centralize the ldquointelligencerdquo in the cloud and require data to be conveyed from the edge to do anything useful with it Considering the success of this cloud-centric model in IT (and in some IoT applications like fleet management) you may wonder whatrsquos the big deal
Simply put cloud-centric architectures arenrsquot applicable to a large class of IoT applications Most notably cloud-centric architectures fall short in supporting Industrial IoT (IIoT) sys-tems and struggle with more demanding Consumer IoT (CIoT) applications
The scariest part is that the situation will only get worse with the predicted increase in the number of connected things But there are some things more fundamental limiting cloud-centric architecturesrsquo applicability for IoT systems
Connectivity ndash Cloud-centric architectures assume that sufficient connectivity exists from the things to the cloud This is necessary for collecting the data from the edge and for pushing insight or control actions from the cloud to the edge Yet connectivity
is hard to guarantee for several IoTIIoT applications such as smart autonomous consumer and agricultural vehicles As you can imagine connectivity may be taken for granted in metropolitan areas but not so much in rural areas
Bandwidth ndash Cloud-centric computing assumes that sufficient bandwidth exists to ingest the data from the edge into the data center The challenge here is that several IIoT applications produce incredible volumes of data For instance a factory can easily produce a terabyte of data per day and these numbers will only grow with the continued digitalization of factories
Latency ndash Therersquos a large class of IIoT systems for which the latency required to send data to the cloud make decisions and eventually send data toward the edge to act on these decisions may be completely incompatible with the dynamics of the underlying system A key difference between IT and IoTIIoT is that the latter deals with physical entities As such the reaction time must be compatible with the dynamics of the physical entity or process with which the application interacts Failing to react with the proper latency can lead to system instability infrastructure damage or even put human operators at risk
Cloud
The IoT needs fog computingBy Angelo Corsaro
wwwiotdesignembedded-computingcom IoT Design Guide 2016 23
Cost ndash In the age of smartphones and very cheap data plans most people assume that the cost of connectivity is negligible The reality is quite different in IIoT due to either bandwidth requirements or connectivity points While in consumer applications the individual person (the consumer) pays for connectivity in most IoTIIoT applications (such as smart grids) itrsquos the operator who foots the bill As a result cost is usually carefully accounted for as it has an impact on operating expense and consequently on operational costs and margins
Security ndash Finally even assuming that all the above-listed issues are addressed a large class of IoTIIoT applications are not comfortable with or are incapable due to regulation of pushing their data to a cloud
Unless you can guarantee that the connectivity bandwidth latency cost and security requirements of your application are compatible with a cloud-centric architecture you need a dif-ferent paradigm and 999 percent of the IoT platforms avail-able on the market are not of much use
Fog computing is emerging as the main paradigm to address the connectivity bandwidth latency cost and security chal-lenges imposed by cloud-centric architectures The main idea behind fog computing is to provide elastic compute storage and communication close to the things so that data neednrsquot be sent all the way to the cloud or at least not all data and not all the time And the infrastructure is designed ground-up to deal with cyber- physical systems (CPS) as opposed to IT systems In other words the infrastructure is designed to consider the constraints imposed by the interactions with the physical world in terms of latency determinism load balancing and fault-tolerance
Defining fog computingTwo trends that are at the core of the IIoT revolution are soft-warization and digital twins
Softwarization is a trend that is disrupting several industries Its mantra is the replacement of specialized hardware implementa-tions such as a programmable logic controller (PLC) on an indus-trial floor with software running in a virtualized environment
Digital twins as the name hints are a digital representation (computerized model) of a physical entity (such as a compressor or a turbine) that is animated through the live data coming from its physical brother or sister Digital twins have several applications such as monitoring diagnostics and prognostics Additionally Digital twins provide useful insights to RampD teams for improving next-generation designs as well as continuously ameliorating the fidelity of their models
As softwarization transforms specialized hardware into soft-ware it creates an opportunity for convergence and consolida-tion If we take as an example soft PLCs (ie softwarized PLCs) all of a sudden they can be deployed on commodity hardware in a virtualized environment and decoupled from the IO logic that can remain closer to the source of data As a side note
the general idea of softwarization applied to the factory floor is often referred to as software-defined machines or software-defined automation
As a result of softwarization and digital twins there is an opportunity for modernizing the factory floor consolidating its hardware and improving availability productivity manage-ability resilience to failure and innovation agility In essence as a result of softwarization there is the opportunity to manage these systems as a data center As softwarization is a trend that is impacting a large class of industries it is worth highlighting that the transformations described above along with its ben-efits are not just limited to industrial automation But there is a catch the large majority of these systems whether in the industrial transportation or medical domains are subject to the performance constraints previously discussed
These systems interact with the physical world and as such they need to react at the pace imposed by the physical entity with which they interact As a consequence while traditional cloud infrastructure would be functionally perfect to address these use cases it turns out to be inadequate as it is typi-cally not designed with these non-functional requirements in mind and is often too heavyweight Cloud infrastructures were designed for IT systems in which a delay in the response time may create a bored or upset customer but will not cause a robot arm to smash against a wall another machine or worse
Now it should be clear that fog computing is not just about applying distributed computing to the edge Fog computing is about providing an infrastructure that while virtualizing elastic compute storage and communication is able to address the non-functional properties characteristic of these domains
Fog computing makes it possible to provision and manage softwarized hardware (eg a soft PLC digital twins analytics and anything else that may need to run on the system) while ensuring the proper non-functional requirements and bringing all the benefits listed above in terms of convergence manage-ability availability agility and efficiency improvement
Fog computing provides a flexible infrastructure to provision deploy monitor and manage software at the edge This should clarify how just deploying some logic on an edge gateway isnrsquot fog computing and neither is fog computing traditional dis-tributed computing

Fluid computing Unifying cloud fog and mist computingWhat is mist computing As the name implies mist is closer to the ground than fog which in turn is closer to the ground than the cloud But beside the meteorological analogies what does this really mean As yoursquove probably guessed this means that mist computing is about bringing elastic compute storage and communication directly onto the things Thus if we continue with the meteorological analogy cloud infrastructure is high in the data center fog infrastructure is between the things and the cloud and mist infrastructure is simply the things
The goals of mist computing essentially are two
1 Enabling resource harvesting by exploiting the computation storage and communication capabilities available on the things
2 Allowing arbitrary computations to be provisioned deployed managed and monitored on the things
As you can imagine things in IoT applications are extremely heterogeneous in terms of platforms resources and con-nectivity Thus the main challenge for mist infrastructures is to be sufficiently lightweight to be able to establish a fabric that virtualizes compute storage and communication without consuming too many resources
If we look from a distance at a generic IoTIIoT system we will realize that from an infrastructural perspective we will have to deal with data centers that are in a public or private cloud edge infrastructure and the actual things IoTIIoT systems will need to exploit resources that span these three tiers and provi-sion deploy monitor and manage applications and services across the tiers On the other hand if we look at the techno-logical landscape there is a complete fragmentation between the technologies used for cloud computing fog computing and the emerging mist computing This fragmentation makes it difficult to establish a unified end-to-end perspective of the system and it makes it practically impossible to treat the system as a uniform and virtualized compute storage and communication fabric
At this point the question is ldquoWhat can we do about itrdquo
The first step toward addressing a problem is recognizing it To this end that means raising awareness about the challenges that this fragmentation may induce The second step is to establish a vision of how the problem can be solved so that the industry can internalize it and eventually address it
Letrsquos focus for a moment on what would make sense for the user of an IoTIIoT platform as opposed to the technical details of whether cloud fog or mist is the right answer
From a high-level perspective why should a designer of an IoTIIoT application care whether he or she will be using cloud fog or mist computing paradigms The only thing that really matters is that the platform provides a way to provision
manage and monitor applications in such a way that appli-cations can meet their functional and non-functional require-ments The functional and non-functional requirements drive the allocation of applications on things fog or cloud layers ndash but anything else is just a detail isnrsquot it
Fluid computing is an architectural principle based on the abstraction of the topological details of the computational infrastructure Fluid architectures provide an end-to-end fabric that can be used to seamlessly provision deploy manage and monitor applications regardless of whether the underlying resource is provided by the cloud infrastructure the fog infra-structure or by things
Fluid computing unifies under a single abstraction of cloud fog and mist computing In other words cloud fog and mist computing can be seen as application of fluid computing in a specific bounded context
As the IoTIIoT market evolves expect a convergence of cloud fog and mist computing platforms toward a fluid computing platform This convergence will be necessary if not essential to accelerate the adoption of IoT

CIA and TPM to secure the IoTBy Guenther Fischer
CIA TPM and IoT You might ask what these three acronyms have in common and how they relate to each other
To make a long story short it is all about security trust and reliability
The abbreviation CIA in this context does not mean the Central Intelligence Agency It is an abbreviation for Confidentiality Integrity and Authenticity The so-called CIA principle is a simple but widely used security model covering three key tenets that should be guaranteed by all secure systems
Confidentiality is intended in the sense of hiding information from people not authorized to view it It is perhaps the most obvious aspect of the CIA model when it comes to security At the same time it is also the one most under attack Cryptographic symmetric and asymmetric encryption methods are examples of means to ensure confidentiality when transmitting data from one computer system to another
Integrity on the other hand represents the certainty that data is accurate and not changed on its journey from the original sender to the intended receiver A common security attack often called a man-in-the-middle attack intercepts data and makes changes to it before passing it on to the intended receiver Cryptographic digital signature methods are one way to attest the integrity of code and data
In addition authenticity is needed to address the concern about genuine information In other words you want to make sure the information you receive actually comes from the source that claims to be its genuine origin Cryptographic digital certificates are used to prove the authenticity of the issuer
Now that we understand why CIA is important for a secure system letrsquos move to the third acronym IoT

everyday life until they are indistinguishable from itrdquo He pre-dicted that computing devices would become commonplace and part of all aspects of life and he was right Just consider for example the consumer gadgets like fitness bands smart watches smart phones or navigation systems that send and receive data all day long Or consider the home which is con-nected to a power grid where a smart meter allows the energy provider to effectively calculate the resources needed to cover the demand of all households Interconnected computing devices are everywhere nowadays
Shifting focus to industrial applications todayrsquos business IoT applications are developed together with devices and services coming from various sectors of industry information tech-nology automation and production technology aerospace maritime and naval systems railways car manufacturers and their suppliers energy providers agricultural medical tech-nology and building automation All of those share character-istics including long life in the field reliability and robustness in harsh environments and reliable long-term availability
IoT systems rely on public networks but public networks are not secure environments While IoT creates new capabilities and services allows greater efficiencies increases flexibility and enables the customization of single production units it also opens up previously closed systems and allows attackers to get access to those systems from the outside world
Attackers often use reverse engineering techniques to iden-tify software vulnerabilities which they can exploit to create counterfeit products steal sensitive data or tamper with the device for sabotage and espionage purposes This can lead to serious and dangerous hacks as recent attacks on safety-critical automotive aerospace and medical components have shown
This brings us back to the CIA principle we started with The only way to avoid situations like those listed above is to apply

the CIA security model to the world of IoT devices As we have learned CIA is built around cryprograhic operations Todayrsquos modern cryprography leverages standard crypto protocols The Dutch cryptographer Auguste Kerckhoffs stated a maxim in the 19th century that would become known as Kerckhoffsrsquo principle A cryptosystem should be secure even if everything about the system except for the key is public knowledge
I repeat everything is public knowledge except for the key which is needed to encrypt and decrypt the content either directly or in a derived form So how do you store a key in a secure manner This brings me to the second acronym TPM the Trusted Platform Module
In the world of cryptography there is a ton of other acronyms referring to the various protocols and methods that are used to ensure the CIA principle To name just a few of them you have DES AES for symmetric cryptography and RSA ECC for asymmetric cryptography The list of acronyms goes on and on The really important part however is that the algorithms themselves are typically not secret they are publicly available just as Kerckhoffsrsquo principle demands it The only part that really needs to be kept secret is the key itself This sounds simple but it is pretty hard to achieve To keep the key secret you need a secure place like a safe which we will call a secure element to securely store the key A TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is such a secure element and it offers a lot more including the crypto protocols
In a nutshell a TPM is a specialized and dedicated device that offers crypto operations and secure storage for secret keys all in one This allows you to store the key in a secure place and even more importantly it allows the key to stay there so it never leaves its secure location All important crypto operations are done inside of the TPM itself and only the results are exposed This prevents the key from getting compromised In case you want to know why it is important to have this dedicated functionality separated in a dedicated device I recommend you to read the following two articles These should make it obvious how impor-tant it is to have a dedicated secure element like a TPM inside a computing device to make it secure trustable and reliable
So how can incidents like these be prevented Use technology that creates secured code and licenses that can be bound to a secure element in the target system ensuring that the code and the licensed features can only be used on an individual system License creation and deployment can be integrated into existing business processes such as ERP systems or e-commerce platforms This mechanism opens up new business models such as feature-on-demand upselling and time-based or pay-per-use licenses for the IoT and other intelligent devices The result is improved security from attacks malware theft and other malfeasance for code and IP

The Internet of Things (IoT) has been touted as the next Industrial Revolution with pervasive connectivity and the insights it can generate offering a new digital lens for viewing and managing the physical world But in addition to the tangible process efficiencies and quality of life improvements expected from the IoT itrsquos also a stepping stone to perhaps the greatest achievement in human history artificial intelligence (AI)
In many ways the technological progression of AI and the IoT are intertwined IoT will provide the information that fuels our data-driven economy while AI is the engine that will consume it Though both paradigms are still in their infancy eachrsquos suc-cess is contingent upon the otherrsquos The IoT can never reach its potential without a mechanism for autonomously processing large heterogeneous data sets just as AI is incapable of expanding without being fed massive amounts of data
Like many other IoT-enabling technologies however AI research and development has largely been restricted to the IT sector as the complexity of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) hidden Markov models (HMMs) natural language pro-cessing and other disciplines used in the creation of machine learning algorithms and deep neural networks (DNNs) requires storage and computing resources usually only accessible on a data center scale Likewise programming methodologies have been tuned to IT developers with tools such as R Python SQL Excel RapidMiner Hadoop Spark and Tableau being the most widely employed by data analysts and computer scientists working in the AI field
This gap between AI and data collection at the physicaldigital interchange is a common complication for the IoT which is just beginning to drive the integration of IT and operational tech-nology (OT) Nonetheless itrsquos a gap that must be bridged
AI for the embedded IoTOne of AIrsquos early excursions into the OT space came with the release of the NVIDIA Jetson TK1 platform in 2014 Based on the Tegra K1 system on chip (SoC) and its 192-core Kepler GPU and quad-core ARM Cortex-A15 the Jetson TK1 brought data center-level compute performance to computer vision robotics and automotive applications but also provided embedded engineers with a development platform for the CUDA Deep Neural Network (cuDNN) library The cuDNN primitives enabled operations such as activation functions forward and backward convolution normalization and tensor transformations required for DNN training and inferencing and the combination of this technology with the Jetson TK1rsquos 10 W power envelope meant
that deep learning frameworks such as Caffe and Torch could be accessed and executed on smaller OT devices
Today that groundwork has been extended as the Jetson TK1rsquos successor the Jetson TX1 system on module (SoM) contains 256 CUDA cores an ARM Cortex-A57 CPU and is capable of 1 TFLOPS performance Machine learning tools and libraries are also more widely available through the NVIDIA JetPack 23 an evolution of the original set of cuDNN libraries that better serves OT developers by packaging the CUDA Toolkit 8 devel-opment environment for building GPU-based applications in C and C++ camera and Video4Linux2 (V4L2) APIs the TensorRT inferencing engine and cuDNN 51 which now sup-ports recurrent neural networks (RNNs) and long short-term memory (LSTM) networks An NVIDIA benchmark shows that optimizations in the Jetson TX1 and JetPack 23 can permit up to 20 times better energy efficiency than CPUs running com-parable deep learning workloads while still maintaining an 8-10 W power draw on the TX1 under typical workloads
Never stop learningAs the IoT produces data for the AI revolution the need to monitor the progression of machine learning technologies has also become apparent This not only ensures that intelligent sys-tems endowed with learning capabilities properly pursue the objectives of their education but also that human developers properly refine the underlying frameworks and libraries upon which machine learning is based to meet desired end goals
For this purpose Cornell Computer Science PhD Jason Yosinski created the Deep Visualization Toolbox an open-source project that allows users to observe the various layers of a DNN to infer how machine learning platforms compute answers to complex problems A video demonstration of the Deep Visualization Toolbox running on the Jetson TX1 devel-oper kit can be viewed in the web version of this article at httpbitlyAIforIoT and for those of you fortunate enough to be visiting CES in 2017 NVIDIA typically showcases deep learning technologies at its automotive booth in North Hall
Itrsquos just the beginning but an IoT inflection point is occurring at the intersection of IT and embedded That inflection point is AI

ldquoIOT WILL PROVIDE THE INFORMATION THAT
FUELS OUR DATA-DRIVEN ECONOMY WHILE AI
IS THE ENGINE THAT WILL CONSUME ITrdquo
Special Feature
Digital certificates such as X509 used by the transport layer security (TLS) protocol are ingrained in
almost every aspect of our digital lives Whether sending a secure e-mail checking a bank account balance or
performing any other action that requires an encrypted online connection these certificates authenticate the
identity of parties involved in the electronic exchange of information to prevent for example man-in-the-middle
attacks whereby a malicious actor impersonates one entity and potentially alters or misrepresents the content
being exchanged
AWS Microchip deliver trust anchor for end-to-end IoT securityBy Brandon Lewis Technology Editor
Certification authorities (CAs) sign digital certificates as proof that they have validated a root certificate containing an entityrsquos public key which is mathematically associated with a unique private key that remains secret as part of an entityrsquos asymmetric publicprivate key pair (Figures 1A and 1B) This key exchange and verification mechanism between user and CA instills confidence in any recipient of the digital certificate that its sender is in fact who they attest to be
However outside of the enterpriseIT community digital certificates have primarily been used to validate servers only Client authentication is typically not implemented in most applications because it requires certificate provisioning for large sets of heterogeneous end users which complicates the management of a public key infra-structure (PKI) But with the Internet of Things (IoT) introducing billions of clients that not only retrieve information from the cloud but also send data to it the requirement for mutual authentication ndash or the immediate two-way authentication of both clients and servers ndash has steadily increased to ensure overall system integrity
AWS mutual authentication and Just-In-Time RegistrationWith the release of the AWS IoT platform last year Amazon Web Services (AWS) intro-duced mutual authentication to the IoT space As mentioned mutual authentication
technology helps verify the integrity of all parties in a system of systems archi-tecture but also introduces problems related to certificate provisioning for client-side devices
In response AWS released a service this April called ldquoUse Your Own Certificaterdquo which allows original equipment manu-facturers (OEMs) to register digital certificates signed by a third-party CA with the AWS IoT platform using an API The Use Your Own Certificate feature implies that the key exchange required for the creation of a digital certificate can occur independent of a client con-nection with AWS IoT servers and per-haps even before the device itself is connected to the Internet introducing a

new possibility for OEMs Unique cryp-tographic keys can be generated for each device during production signed by a CA as part of an offline digital cer-tificate verification process and then loaded into the AWS IoT platform to await a service request from systems containing the corresponding key pairs This process also lays the groundwork for the latest capability in the AWS IoT portfolio Just-In-Time Registration (JITR) announced in August
JITR is somewhat of a turning point for the IoT in that as the term implies devices can automatically connect to and be recognized by the AWS IoT cloud the first time they request service from the platform This type of immediate autonomous onboarding of devices with cloud services is critical given the pro-jected number of IoT connections but is contingent upon the devices connecting being pre-equipped with unique trusted
private keys in order to enable services such as the Use Your Own Certificate API and to prevent impersonation attacks (Figure 2) It also requires that devices be equipped with the correct server configurations and policies to help facilitate the onboarding process which must also be kept secure
FIGURE 2Just-in-time registration (JITR) allows devices to connect with AWS IoT servers the first time they attempt a service connection but requires that the Use Your Own Certificate API be leveraged first to upload device certificates into AWS IoT

The challenge of device manufacturers is to ensure that these keys and poli-cies remain secret and secure from the time a device is manufactured through the onboarding process and even after a product reaches end of life (EOL) Previously this has been attempted through the installation of hardware security modules (HSMs) in secure rooms at factories periodic factory security audits and time box proto-cols that attempt to define an accept-able onboarding period for devices Unfortunately these methods tend to be either expensive or inexact and also donrsquot account for threats that could compromise systems deployed in the field such as physical tampering
Hardware-based elliptic curve cryptography anchors trust in IoT 2016 has also seen significant news from the other side of the IoT technology spectrum as semiconductor vendor Microchip acquired competitor Atmel for approximately $36 billion earlier this year Among other technologies the pur-chase netted Microchip access to Atmelrsquos portfolio of security ICs including elliptic curve cryptography-based (ECC-based) CryptoAuthentication devices such as the ECC508A (Figure 3)
The ECC508A is noteworthy in the framework of AWS IoTrsquos mutual authen-tication Use Your Own Certificate and JITR capabilities in that the elliptic curve
Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) key agreement protocol it employs enables the internal gener-ation and storage of private keys These keys remain protected through the life of the device due to tamper-resistant architectural features of the chip including internally encrypted memory isolated power rails a memory and logic shield internal clock generation and a lack of probe points that protect against real-world threats such as emissions analysis microprobe power cycling and timing attacks This secure storage space can also be used to house pre-configured AWS server policies resulting in a device that contains all of the information needed for digital certificate authentication and onboarding required by JITR
As seen in wolfSSLrsquos wolfCrypt benchmark of an embedded SSLTLS stack running on the ECC508A the hardware-based crypto acceleration of the chip also offloads encryption tasks from a host processor resulting in improved overall system perfor-mance (Figure 4)
ECC508A and AWS IoT The processAs discussed previously private keys are mathematically correlated with the public keys required for the creation of digital certificates Therefore the ECC508A becomes the root of trust for any device that equips it
In the context of a mutually authenticated AWS IoT deployment leveraging the ECC508A Microchip can act as the CA both generating and signing device certifi-cates in parallel as part of the certificate chain verification process for an IoT OEM
The ECC508A is a 2 mm x 3 mm tamper-resistant CryptoAuthentication device based on elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) cryptography algorithms that provide hardware-based cryptographic key generation storage and countermeasures

The OEM would then load the resulting digital certificates into their AWS IoT account through the Use Your Own Certificate API where they would remain until an incoming TLS request from a device containing the partnered ECC508A key pair triggers the JITR process
The procedure from key generation through cloud onboarding requires a one-time setup shown in Figure 5 As keys are generated in a secure Microchip facility and the key management infrastructure is already in place OEMs are able to access robust security and automatic cloud authentication by adding a single component to their bill of materials (BoM)

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) promises to deliver a step change in efficiency and a leap towards
autonomy for industrial automation and other sectors such as security and surveillance and building management
The prospect of self-monitoring self-managing factories and manufacturing processes is no longer beyond the
distant horizon The ability to remotely identify monitor and control every individual device in a manufacturing
process network with minimal or no human intervention offers opportunities that were beyond comprehension just
a decade ago ndash even in the eyes of engineers working at the very forefront of industrial manufacturing technology
Advances in sensing connectivity and control fuel IIoT designsBy Wiren Perera
The key drivers of the IIoT are more measurement of an expanding number of parameters fast and extensive analysis of and reactions to data and accelerated enhancements to processes Successful IIoT design and management can mean continuously optimized efficiency reduced operating costs and more resilient self-learning processes At the fulcrum of this are a number of semiconductor technolo-gies on offer and in development at some of the worldrsquos top electronic component manufacturers
Vision-based sensing and energy harvestingSensors are at the heart of the IIoT gathering more and more data But to measure more we need to sense more ndash more parameters more accurately and more often Overlaying software on established technologies can bring incremental gains but to make the necessary advances we need to add more parameters with accuracy as each additional parameter can make a system smarter
Sensor technology that measures ldquotraditionalrdquo parameters such as temperature light position level humidity and pressure continues to advance But despite becoming smaller more cost-effective and often embedded each sensor is dedicated and hence limited in its functionality and versatility Vision-based sensing enables a new paradigm Corollary to the concept of ldquoa picture is worth a thousand wordsrdquo once a machine can ldquoseerdquo much more is possible much faster
With vision sensing programmability brings flexibility enabling a single vision system to sense missing or misplaced components and other process vari-ables The trend towards vision-based sensing ndash both still and video ndash will make future systems more intelligent flexible and ultimately more valuable
Current advances in machine vision in many situations can provide better sight than the human eye Coupled with the reduction in risks associated with human error it enables a new degree of adapt-ability and speed for reconfigurable production processes This could be any-thing from optimization based on real-time events to the reconfiguration of a system that may allow multiple products to be made on a single line They only require a simple change from one control

FIGURE 1 ON Semiconductorrsquos Smart Passive Sensor family are wireless energy harvesting sensors that can function autonomously in space-constrained environments
program to the next and the system is ready to run This has obvious cost time and labor benefits and reduces the risks associated with error
However the distributed nature of the IIoT and the requirement to place mul-tiple sensors at various points of mea-surement presents another challenge the reliable delivery of power
Successful sensors especially those utilized in IIoT designs have four basic attributes they need to be self-pow-ered collect data broadcast their status and have the ability to connect Wireless sensors with the ability to harvest energy (ie self-powered) are essential if the IIoT is to advance and realize its potential Wireless energy harvesting solutions such as ON Semiconductorrsquos Smart Passive Sensors are an example of technology that can meet these require-ments (Figure 1) These devices can be deployed in hard-to-access space- constrained environments with no direct power source allowing them to function autonomously
Instant access to dataSensors gather data and then post-pro-cessing and analytics generate valuable information along with the ability to control factories and processes
The processing of large sustained flows of data associated with real-time sensing for the IIoT is reliant on the cloud This analysis requires platforms that can store large data sets across distributed clus-ters often combining and processing data from many geographically dis-persed sources In global organizations for example a problem in a Chinese smart factory can trigger an almost in- stantaneous process improvement in a similar factory located somewhere else in the world
Advances in secure communications and authentication also allow mobile devices to connect to these networks bringing opportunities for instantaneous access to information Flexible access can then drive value into the business and its relationships with the outside world In
fact this IToperational technology (OT) integration as shown in Figure 2 has the potential to bring the greatest benefits to a broad range of industrial automation applications
Combining sensing connectivity and actuationMany industrial control systems are very sophisticated and require accurate or careful often rapid positioning This could mean anything from the speed and direction of a cooling fan to a motor or servo that adjusts a valve position or a stepper motor for linear or angular positioning in a precision task Alongside the rapid development of sensing for the IIoT the actuators and their controllers that provide the physical reac-tions to gathered analyzed data are seeing similar advancements
However integrated manufacturing processes require a broad range of sensing tech-nologies be combined with connectivity and actuation which creates design and expertise challenges Fully integrated hardware and software development platforms that combine these elements are crucial to help speed and ease the customization of specific functions for adoption into end products Modularity makes these platforms extensible to new IoTIIoT functions and devices that are based on new advances allowing more rapid adoption (Figure 3 page 14) Open-source support is also impor-tant since a broad ecosystem and interoperability are crucial for the IoTrsquos success
FIGURE 2 ITOT integration will yield benefits to industrial automation companies through the concatenation of distributed personnel and assets

Sensors data processing and actuators are all significant building blocks of an IIoT application However without a means to communicate share data and transmit receive and execute instructions the IIoT cannot function
Considering the IIoTrsquos unique requirements not all standards and protocols are satis-factory The technologies suitable for smartphone personal area networks (PANs) or single-supplier standards are unlikely to be successful Instead itrsquos important for IIoT
platforms to demonstrate flexibility by supporting a broad array of standards including Thread SIGFOX EnOcean M-Bus KNX ZigBee and proprietary protocols The adoption of a software-defined radio (SDR) approach allows a single platform to support multiple pro-tocols which will be a requirement for platforms designed support multiple applications
ZigBee and Thread are complementary 802154 standards and a liaison relationship between the two industry organizations should help drive broad adoption of these protocols within smart home applications Thread is an IP-based (IPv6) networking protocol built on open standards for low-power mesh networks that can easily and securely connect hundreds of devices to each other and directly to the cloud Security and interoperability are two of Threadrsquos key value-added capabilities
Conversely SIGFOX enables wide-area networks (WANs) that provide relatively low bandwidth communications with fixed or mobile smart objects or sensors deployed over large areas Example applications for this protocol include the nationwide tracking of shipping containers or vehicles and communication with geographically spread assets such as smart-city equipment or oil pumps and pipelines
Technology convergence for the IIoTAt the core of achieving the IIoTrsquos true potential will be the effective interplay and connection of sensing computing and control technologies in robust energy-efficient implementations Every facet of technology is evolving towards this goal with both discrete solutions and integrated development platforms that are enabling embedded and IoT design engineers to transform yester-dayrsquos vision of automated self- managing industry into todayrsquos reality

IoT developers often consider faster time-to-market and lower product maintenance costs when deploying firmware update mechanisms as the capability allows them to stage feature roll-outs enabledisable features or functionality on devices in the field fix firmware bugs after a product has been released reduce the need for expensive technical support and enable better overall end user experiences However if proper security measures are not in place this feature may be misused and the consequences of a successful exploitation can be disastrous ranging from intellectual property (IP) theft and product cloning all the way to unauthor-ized control of the deployed system For example a successful exploitation of firmware update mechanisms that do not support verifying a new firmware imagersquos authenticity in a hospital drug pump can lead to a hacker tampering with the dos-ages of drugs delivered to patients
Firmware updates and their vulnerabilitiesFigure 1 shows a typical firmware update process The steps include
1 The product manufacturer creates and loads an initial firmware image into the device in a trusted environment
2 The product is deployed with the initial firmware into the field
3 When a firmware update is required the product manufacturer creates a new firmware image
4 The manufacturer sends the new firmware image to the end usertechnician or to the product directly through an untrusted communication channel
5 The new firmware is loaded onto the device in the field
In Figure 1 potential security threats are apparent during the ldquotransportrdquo phase when new firmware is transferred via an untrusted communication channel or during the ldquofirmware loadingrdquo phase when the new firmware is downloaded onto the device in the field
The new firmware image being down-loaded to the device corresponds to the IP of the product manufacturer and the target asset Threats to this asset include
1 Reverse engineering of the firmware binary image into assembly or a higher level engineering language to analyze its functionality and contents
2 Product cloning where a firmware image from the product manufacturer is loaded onto a device that is not authorized
3 Alteration of the firmware distributed by the product manufacturer
4 Loading an unauthorized firmware image onto the device which may correspond to an older firmware version from the product manufacturer with known bugs or code created by an unauthorized party or firmware not intended for the specific device (firmware downgrading)
5 Interrupting the firmware update process such that the firmware is only partially updated resulting in a device being unavailable for service
It is evident that the aforementioned threats can have disastrous conse-quences for the product manufacturer service provider and end user thus indi-cating an intense need for embedded designers to strongly consider measures that increase the overall security of the firmware update mechanism

Secure firmware update considerations for ultra-low power MCUsBy Bhargavi Nisarga and Luis Reynoso
16 IoT Design Guide 2016 wwwiotdesignembedded-computingcom
In-field firmware updates are an increasingly
popular feature in microcontroller-based
(MCU-based) applications These updates
enable new firmware images to be downloaded
onto a devicersquos memory providing an effective way
for product manufacturers to offer services and support to products that are already deployed in the
field The Internet of Things (IoT) era is driving increased connectivity in the embedded world making
this one of the most crucial features for todayrsquos connected products ndash so long as they are secure
Secure firmware update considerations for design engineersFigure 2 shows an example representation of network-connected systems In this case the new firmware image is transferred either from the product manufacturer
FIGURE 2A secure firmware update includes security measures dictated by the interface protocols used for network communications as well as application-level security that ensures firmware images are secured before data enters the network
FIGURE 1 Shown here is a typical firmware update process
(eg a new feature roll-out or firmware bug fix) or the service provider (eg to enabledisable features or services in a product) to the end nodes over local or wide area networks (LANsWANs) and may involve authentication from end user applications (eg via mobile devices and web applications) to per-form the firmware update
Embedded systems engineers designing firmware update capabilities for IoT sys-tems need to not only understand the assets that need to be protected and the potential threats but also the capa-bilities and limitations of their system especially as they pertain to cost per-formance or power consumption in constrained systems As a starting point an effective security solution that incor-porates the right combination of crypto-graphic algorithms and protocol-level measures must be considered
Cryptographic algorithms provide a means of protecting the privacy of con-tent while ensuring its authenticity and integrity Not all cryptographic algo-rithms are the same but they are based on four cryptographic primitives that handle one or more components of the con-fidentiality integrity and authenticity (CIA) triad These primitives are
1 Encryption and decryption Encryption is the process by which data (plaintext) is transformed into something random and meaningless (ciphertext) while decryption performs the opposite job These primitives provide both confidentiality and authenticity and are used to prevent the reverse engineering of firmware
2 One-way functions Functions such as hash are mathematical algorithms that are easy to calculate in one direction but difficult in the other They are used to obtain a digital ldquofingerprintrdquo that ensures the integrity of firmware before it is transported into the field

3 Digital signatures Used to detect if a message was altered after it was signed thus providing not only integrity but also authentication These make use of public-key cryptography to generate a signature that can only be properly decrypted using the manufacturerrsquos public key
4 Message authentication code (MAC) Similar to a digital signature except that it uses symmetric keys to encrypt and decrypt a hash generated by the manufacturer If the hash value decrypted by the receiver matches the hash value calculated for the message then the message is valid In this way MACs provide both authenticity and integrity
Some factors that influence the selection of cryptographic algorithms include performance requirements the security needs of the system memory footprint energy consumption and reliability and acceptance of the algorithm by the security
community (such as organizations like the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST))
In addition to cryptographic algorithms protocol-level measures against threats such as firmware downgrading should be considered As mentioned previ-ously firmware downgrading is an attack in which an older defective firm-ware image (encrypted or not) is re-sent to a device in order to revert it to a vul-nerable state A version check of both the firmware and keys can ensure that only new versions are programmed during an update
An attacker can also interrupt a firmware update process using several methods (power loss physical connection failure bits flipped during transmission etc) This can lead to a device executing an incomplete or invalid firmware image rendering it useless or in a compromised state In order to address this scenario firmware update mechanisms need to ensure that an incomplete or corrupted image is not executed and if neces-sary should revert the system to a valid previously used image
Cryptographic bootloaders for connected embedded systemsFirmware updates are typically handled by the device bootloader A bootloader is a piece of code that resides on device memory and has the ability to reprogram the application memory space However finding or creating an embedded boot-loader with the security required for network-connected systems can be challenging For example a system may need the ability to update cryptographic keys so cryptographic functions and a bootloader protocol should support upgrading keys and increased network security during the firmware update pro-cess The bootloader protocol should also accommodate verifying firmware update versions and packet tracking to check if all packets of a specific firmware update image were received
As discussed the selection of a crypto-graphic algorithm is critical because it not only sets the level of security of the sys- tem but it also impacts its performance

Crypto-Bootloader solution imple-mented on MSP430FR5969 devices encapsulates most of the security fea-tures and considerations outlined here (Figure 3)
Securing firmware for the Internet of ThingsIn summary increasingly network embedded products are creating the potential for advanced security threats making in-field firmware updates more vulnerable to remote attacks and exploitations Therefore it is important for embedded designers to consider securing their firmware update mecha-nisms through solutions that provide the right level of security while balancing the cost power and performance con-straints of IoT products

memory footprint and power consump-tion With this in mind AES-CCM repre-sents an optimal solution for embedded bootloaders AES-CCM is a cryptographic bootloader (Crypto-Bootloader) built on two cryptographic primitives AES Counter Mode (AES-CTR) for encryp-tion and cipher block chaining message
authentication code (CBC-MAC) for integrity and authenticity verification Due to the low overhead provided by AES-CCM it provides a perfect balance between increased security and low memory footprint high throughput and efficient power consumption
The selection of an MCU implementing the bootloader should not be over-looked either Designers should con-sider MCUs with features like hardware encryption engines a memory protec-tion unit (MPU) low-power peripherals and memory technologies that allow fast readwrite cycles for increased throughput The MSP430FR5969 MCU from Texas Instruments is an example of such an MCU that integrates an AES-256 co-processor to accelerate encryption algorithms MPU and MPU-IP encap-sulation (MPU-IPE) modules to enable increased protection and encapsulation of memory regions as well as up to 64 KB of FRAM memory for high performance and ultra-low power consumption The
MSP430FR5969 MCUs integrate a Crypto-Bootloader as well as MPUMPU-IPE modules and an AES-256 security co-processor

Herersquos the thing The IoT doesnrsquot need PoCs
I made this statement the other day in a product development team meeting and received looks of shock and disbelief The company with whom I was working has customers asking for help solving a specific problem and we had a multi-disciplinary team reviewing the architecture for a solution The looks I got said ldquoHow can we begin a product development without a PoCrdquo The answer is easy when you consider the definition of a PoC
According to Wikipedia ldquoA proof of concept is a realization of a certain method or idea to demonstrate its feasibility or a demonstration in principle whose purpose is to verify that some concept or theory has the potential of being used A proof of concept is usually small and may or may not be completerdquo
ldquoFeasibilityrdquo is the key word here Feasibility is the role of technology in the Innovation Venn diagram (Figure 1) Is the product technically feasible Can we even make innovation function For the most part after nearly 15 cycles of Moorersquos law and two generations of the Internet this means ldquoDoes the product violate the laws of physicsrdquo
Today particularly in the IoT ecosystem anything is feasible Further one could argue that if the product is a pure software or Internet play it is by definition feasible
The harder questions for new prod-ucts today are the other two parts of the Innovation Venn Is the product
Gateway
I have heard complaints from several Internet of Things (IoT) sales and business leaders about how
proofs-of-concept (PoCs) are slowing them down In some cases they are just frustrated with how often
they are told ldquoWe need to do a PoCrdquo by a development team in response to a request to begin a new product
or offering development In other cases they are frustrated with how the tools used for PoCs ndash development
kits or Maker-ware devices like Arduino and Raspberry Pi ndash prevent them and their customers from deploying
scalable solutions once the concept is proven

desirable If so at what price Is the business viable These are the tough questions facing new offerings today
Therersquos the rub A PoC does nothing to address user desirability or busi-ness viability A PoC only addresses technology
ldquoYoursquove just renamed the PoC as a prototyperdquo you say But therersquos a big difference between the two
In a PoC the developer is not con-strained by manufacturing costs or user acceptance The issue is simple Can I make this offering work Maker tools are excellent for this This is one of the reasons by the way that when one looks for Maker products most of the suppliers are targeting educational organizations Education is about one example one proof that something works one PoC
A prototype however is the first itera-tion of the new product A prototype is built to a product requirements docu-ment (PRD) and that PRD has manu-facturing supply chain constraints certification constraints user experience needs and cost expectations One-off tools like Arduino or Raspberry Pi were not designed for these constraints So when a product development is started with a PoC and uses Maker tools the

The IoT has put a slightly different spin on the product development process because of the addition of an ongoing user-supported experience Business models depend upon ongoing revenue so innovators have to address this need during development This is the role of the pilot The pilot puts the product in a sales-ready format into the hands of enough users in context to measure their adoption of sustained use of and willingness to pay for the product Figure 2 outlines the roles of PoCs prototypes and pilots in the product development process The fastest progression for product development for the IoT is PoC rarr Prototype(s) rarr Pilot rarr Product

Sometimes small changes make a big difference Switching your organizationrsquos thinking from proof-of-concept to proof-of-innovation is one of those changes
Three ways to tell you are wasting time with a PoC1 Examples of the offering exist in
either the lab or with competitors ndash Note that the example can be in other applications or markets For example self-driving cars moved immediately to prototypes because auto-piloted airplanes and drones provided the proof that the technology works for autonomous vehicle operations
2 No new hardware is needed ndash If your new offering depends upon the integration or is a software appli-cation of data then you are not doing a PoC Your technology is feasible it just may not be desirable or viable
3 None of the questions to be answered by the PoC effort involve the laws of physics
Three things that make a good pilot1 You have a sales-ready user
experience ndash An IoT pilot not only has to measure user adoption it also has to measure churn Too much churn will defeat the business To measure these characteristics with confidence across a statistically significant number of users the product must have a sales-ready user experience
2 The product is re-certification tested ndash Since the pilot product is not in fact sold it does not have to be marked UL CE FCC etc But it better be ready to mark As soon as the pilot validates adoption churn and price the sales team is going want to see products shipping so you canrsquot go back and do another spin Be ready
3 The supply chain is solid and meets cost expectations ndash The pilot will measure user adoption at price so if it is successful production will begin Production will have to deliver on that price so the supply chain must be solid
David Smith is Vice President of Engineering and Innovation at MultiTech Systems
They also know that they have to help product development teams move through prototyping to pilots quickly The prototypes can get early user feedback and allow forecasts of costs But the sweet spot of innovation is where users want the new product and are willing to pay a price that sustains the business In the IoT sustaining the business is complicated by recurring expense and revenue This is where the pilot comes in The pilot validates the product and the business model
PoCs are not bad but they are not often necessary in business today Perhaps the best example of this is a place where PoCs are the lifeblood of the company Google X Their mission is to make moon shots learn from failure and solve grand problems with approaches no one else is willing to try If your mission is similar then PoCs are great If you are under pressure to grow and generate new forms of revenue using digital technology beware the PoC

As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues its rapid pace of growth therersquos been no shortage of inflated
expectations Platforms promising to ease the development deployment and management of IoT systems are
now counted in the hundreds You might believe that all you have to do is pick a platform you like the best from
the vendor you trust the most and go build your IoT system Well the story is not so simple
In reality nearly all of the IoT platforms available are designed to only support cloud-centric architectures These platforms centralize the ldquointelligencerdquo in the cloud and require data to be conveyed from the edge to do anything useful with it Considering the success of this cloud-centric model in IT (and in some IoT applications like fleet management) you may wonder whatrsquos the big deal
Simply put cloud-centric architectures arenrsquot applicable to a large class of IoT applications Most notably cloud-centric architectures fall short in supporting Industrial IoT (IIoT) sys-tems and struggle with more demanding Consumer IoT (CIoT) applications
The scariest part is that the situation will only get worse with the predicted increase in the number of connected things But there are some things more fundamental limiting cloud-centric architecturesrsquo applicability for IoT systems
Connectivity ndash Cloud-centric architectures assume that sufficient connectivity exists from the things to the cloud This is necessary for collecting the data from the edge and for pushing insight or control actions from the cloud to the edge Yet connectivity
is hard to guarantee for several IoTIIoT applications such as smart autonomous consumer and agricultural vehicles As you can imagine connectivity may be taken for granted in metropolitan areas but not so much in rural areas
Bandwidth ndash Cloud-centric computing assumes that sufficient bandwidth exists to ingest the data from the edge into the data center The challenge here is that several IIoT applications produce incredible volumes of data For instance a factory can easily produce a terabyte of data per day and these numbers will only grow with the continued digitalization of factories
Latency ndash Therersquos a large class of IIoT systems for which the latency required to send data to the cloud make decisions and eventually send data toward the edge to act on these decisions may be completely incompatible with the dynamics of the underlying system A key difference between IT and IoTIIoT is that the latter deals with physical entities As such the reaction time must be compatible with the dynamics of the physical entity or process with which the application interacts Failing to react with the proper latency can lead to system instability infrastructure damage or even put human operators at risk

Cost ndash In the age of smartphones and very cheap data plans most people assume that the cost of connectivity is negligible The reality is quite different in IIoT due to either bandwidth requirements or connectivity points While in consumer applications the individual person (the consumer) pays for connectivity in most IoTIIoT applications (such as smart grids) itrsquos the operator who foots the bill As a result cost is usually carefully accounted for as it has an impact on operating expense and consequently on operational costs and margins
Security ndash Finally even assuming that all the above-listed issues are addressed a large class of IoTIIoT applications are not comfortable with or are incapable due to regulation of pushing their data to a cloud
Unless you can guarantee that the connectivity bandwidth latency cost and security requirements of your application are compatible with a cloud-centric architecture you need a dif-ferent paradigm and 999 percent of the IoT platforms avail-able on the market are not of much use
Fog computing is emerging as the main paradigm to address the connectivity bandwidth latency cost and security chal-lenges imposed by cloud-centric architectures The main idea behind fog computing is to provide elastic compute storage and communication close to the things so that data neednrsquot be sent all the way to the cloud or at least not all data and not all the time And the infrastructure is designed ground-up to deal with cyber- physical systems (CPS) as opposed to IT systems In other words the infrastructure is designed to consider the constraints imposed by the interactions with the physical world in terms of latency determinism load balancing and fault-tolerance
Defining fog computingTwo trends that are at the core of the IIoT revolution are soft-warization and digital twins
Softwarization is a trend that is disrupting several industries Its mantra is the replacement of specialized hardware implementa-tions such as a programmable logic controller (PLC) on an indus-trial floor with software running in a virtualized environment
Digital twins as the name hints are a digital representation (computerized model) of a physical entity (such as a compressor or a turbine) that is animated through the live data coming from its physical brother or sister Digital twins have several applications such as monitoring diagnostics and prognostics Additionally Digital twins provide useful insights to RampD teams for improving next-generation designs as well as continuously ameliorating the fidelity of their models
As softwarization transforms specialized hardware into soft-ware it creates an opportunity for convergence and consolida-tion If we take as an example soft PLCs (ie softwarized PLCs) all of a sudden they can be deployed on commodity hardware in a virtualized environment and decoupled from the IO logic that can remain closer to the source of data As a side note
the general idea of softwarization applied to the factory floor is often referred to as software-defined machines or software-defined automation
As a result of softwarization and digital twins there is an opportunity for modernizing the factory floor consolidating its hardware and improving availability productivity manage-ability resilience to failure and innovation agility In essence as a result of softwarization there is the opportunity to manage these systems as a data center As softwarization is a trend that is impacting a large class of industries it is worth highlighting that the transformations described above along with its ben-efits are not just limited to industrial automation But there is a catch the large majority of these systems whether in the industrial transportation or medical domains are subject to the performance constraints previously discussed
These systems interact with the physical world and as such they need to react at the pace imposed by the physical entity with which they interact As a consequence while traditional cloud infrastructure would be functionally perfect to address these use cases it turns out to be inadequate as it is typi-cally not designed with these non-functional requirements in mind and is often too heavyweight Cloud infrastructures were designed for IT systems in which a delay in the response time may create a bored or upset customer but will not cause a robot arm to smash against a wall another machine or worse
Now it should be clear that fog computing is not just about applying distributed computing to the edge Fog computing is about providing an infrastructure that while virtualizing elastic compute storage and communication is able to address the non-functional properties characteristic of these domains
Fog computing makes it possible to provision and manage softwarized hardware (eg a soft PLC digital twins analytics and anything else that may need to run on the system) while ensuring the proper non-functional requirements and bringing all the benefits listed above in terms of convergence manage-ability availability agility and efficiency improvement
Fog computing provides a flexible infrastructure to provision deploy monitor and manage software at the edge This should clarify how just deploying some logic on an edge gateway isnrsquot fog computing and neither is fog computing traditional dis-tributed computing

Fluid computing Unifying cloud fog and mist computingWhat is mist computing As the name implies mist is closer to the ground than fog which in turn is closer to the ground than the cloud But beside the meteorological analogies what does this really mean As yoursquove probably guessed this means that mist computing is about bringing elastic compute storage and communication directly onto the things Thus if we continue with the meteorological analogy cloud infrastructure is high in the data center fog infrastructure is between the things and the cloud and mist infrastructure is simply the things
The goals of mist computing essentially are two
1 Enabling resource harvesting by exploiting the computation storage and communication capabilities available on the things
2 Allowing arbitrary computations to be provisioned deployed managed and monitored on the things
As you can imagine things in IoT applications are extremely heterogeneous in terms of platforms resources and con-nectivity Thus the main challenge for mist infrastructures is to be sufficiently lightweight to be able to establish a fabric that virtualizes compute storage and communication without consuming too many resources
If we look from a distance at a generic IoTIIoT system we will realize that from an infrastructural perspective we will have to deal with data centers that are in a public or private cloud edge infrastructure and the actual things IoTIIoT systems will need to exploit resources that span these three tiers and provi-sion deploy monitor and manage applications and services across the tiers On the other hand if we look at the techno-logical landscape there is a complete fragmentation between the technologies used for cloud computing fog computing and the emerging mist computing This fragmentation makes it difficult to establish a unified end-to-end perspective of the system and it makes it practically impossible to treat the system as a uniform and virtualized compute storage and communication fabric
At this point the question is ldquoWhat can we do about itrdquo
The first step toward addressing a problem is recognizing it To this end that means raising awareness about the challenges that this fragmentation may induce The second step is to establish a vision of how the problem can be solved so that the industry can internalize it and eventually address it
Letrsquos focus for a moment on what would make sense for the user of an IoTIIoT platform as opposed to the technical details of whether cloud fog or mist is the right answer
From a high-level perspective why should a designer of an IoTIIoT application care whether he or she will be using cloud fog or mist computing paradigms The only thing that really matters is that the platform provides a way to provision
manage and monitor applications in such a way that appli-cations can meet their functional and non-functional require-ments The functional and non-functional requirements drive the allocation of applications on things fog or cloud layers ndash but anything else is just a detail isnrsquot it
Fluid computing is an architectural principle based on the abstraction of the topological details of the computational infrastructure Fluid architectures provide an end-to-end fabric that can be used to seamlessly provision deploy manage and monitor applications regardless of whether the underlying resource is provided by the cloud infrastructure the fog infra-structure or by things
Fluid computing unifies under a single abstraction of cloud fog and mist computing In other words cloud fog and mist computing can be seen as application of fluid computing in a specific bounded context
As the IoTIIoT market evolves expect a convergence of cloud fog and mist computing platforms toward a fluid computing platform This convergence will be necessary if not essential to accelerate the adoption of IoT

CIA and TPM to secure the IoTBy Guenther Fischer
CIA TPM and IoT You might ask what these three acronyms have in common and how they relate to each other
To make a long story short it is all about security trust and reliability
The abbreviation CIA in this context does not mean the Central Intelligence Agency It is an abbreviation for Confidentiality Integrity and Authenticity The so-called CIA principle is a simple but widely used security model covering three key tenets that should be guaranteed by all secure systems
Confidentiality is intended in the sense of hiding information from people not authorized to view it It is perhaps the most obvious aspect of the CIA model when it comes to security At the same time it is also the one most under attack Cryptographic symmetric and asymmetric encryption methods are examples of means to ensure confidentiality when transmitting data from one computer system to another
Integrity on the other hand represents the certainty that data is accurate and not changed on its journey from the original sender to the intended receiver A common security attack often called a man-in-the-middle attack intercepts data and makes changes to it before passing it on to the intended receiver Cryptographic digital signature methods are one way to attest the integrity of code and data
In addition authenticity is needed to address the concern about genuine information In other words you want to make sure the information you receive actually comes from the source that claims to be its genuine origin Cryptographic digital certificates are used to prove the authenticity of the issuer
Now that we understand why CIA is important for a secure system letrsquos move to the third acronym IoT
After many years of being an overhyped marketing term the so-called Internet of Things (IoT) is starting to become mature and real Mark Weiser created the term ldquoubiquitous computingrdquo first in his famous Scientific American article ldquoThe Computer for the 21st Centuryrdquo pub lished September 1991 His thinking was so ahead of his time that it seemed like science fiction to most of his readers In 2016 his vision has become reality Ubiquitous computing (or ubicomp for short) became todayrsquos ndash perhaps overhyped ndash IoT
Weiser started his article ldquoThe most profound technologies are those that disappear They weave themselves into the fabric of

everyday life until they are indistinguishable from itrdquo He pre-dicted that computing devices would become commonplace and part of all aspects of life and he was right Just consider for example the consumer gadgets like fitness bands smart watches smart phones or navigation systems that send and receive data all day long Or consider the home which is con-nected to a power grid where a smart meter allows the energy provider to effectively calculate the resources needed to cover the demand of all households Interconnected computing devices are everywhere nowadays
Shifting focus to industrial applications todayrsquos business IoT applications are developed together with devices and services coming from various sectors of industry information tech-nology automation and production technology aerospace maritime and naval systems railways car manufacturers and their suppliers energy providers agricultural medical tech-nology and building automation All of those share character-istics including long life in the field reliability and robustness in harsh environments and reliable long-term availability
IoT systems rely on public networks but public networks are not secure environments While IoT creates new capabilities and services allows greater efficiencies increases flexibility and enables the customization of single production units it also opens up previously closed systems and allows attackers to get access to those systems from the outside world
Attackers often use reverse engineering techniques to iden-tify software vulnerabilities which they can exploit to create counterfeit products steal sensitive data or tamper with the device for sabotage and espionage purposes This can lead to serious and dangerous hacks as recent attacks on safety-critical automotive aerospace and medical components have shown
This brings us back to the CIA principle we started with The only way to avoid situations like those listed above is to apply

the CIA security model to the world of IoT devices As we have learned CIA is built around cryprograhic operations Todayrsquos modern cryprography leverages standard crypto protocols The Dutch cryptographer Auguste Kerckhoffs stated a maxim in the 19th century that would become known as Kerckhoffsrsquo principle A cryptosystem should be secure even if everything about the system except for the key is public knowledge
I repeat everything is public knowledge except for the key which is needed to encrypt and decrypt the content either directly or in a derived form So how do you store a key in a secure manner This brings me to the second acronym TPM the Trusted Platform Module
In the world of cryptography there is a ton of other acronyms referring to the various protocols and methods that are used to ensure the CIA principle To name just a few of them you have DES AES for symmetric cryptography and RSA ECC for asymmetric cryptography The list of acronyms goes on and on The really important part however is that the algorithms themselves are typically not secret they are publicly available just as Kerckhoffsrsquo principle demands it The only part that really needs to be kept secret is the key itself This sounds simple but it is pretty hard to achieve To keep the key secret you need a secure place like a safe which we will call a secure element to securely store the key A TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is such a secure element and it offers a lot more including the crypto protocols
In a nutshell a TPM is a specialized and dedicated device that offers crypto operations and secure storage for secret keys all in one This allows you to store the key in a secure place and even more importantly it allows the key to stay there so it never leaves its secure location All important crypto operations are done inside of the TPM itself and only the results are exposed This prevents the key from getting compromised In case you want to know why it is important to have this dedicated functionality separated in a dedicated device I recommend you to read the following two articles These should make it obvious how impor-tant it is to have a dedicated secure element like a TPM inside a computing device to make it secure trustable and reliable
So how can incidents like these be prevented Use technology that creates secured code and licenses that can be bound to a secure element in the target system ensuring that the code and the licensed features can only be used on an individual system License creation and deployment can be integrated into existing business processes such as ERP systems or e-commerce platforms This mechanism opens up new business models such as feature-on-demand upselling and time-based or pay-per-use licenses for the IoT and other intelligent devices The result is improved security from attacks malware theft and other malfeasance for code and IP

The Internet of Things (IoT) has been touted as the next Industrial Revolution with pervasive connectivity and the insights it can generate offering a new digital lens for viewing and managing the physical world But in addition to the tangible process efficiencies and quality of life improvements expected from the IoT itrsquos also a stepping stone to perhaps the greatest achievement in human history artificial intelligence (AI)
In many ways the technological progression of AI and the IoT are intertwined IoT will provide the information that fuels our data-driven economy while AI is the engine that will consume it Though both paradigms are still in their infancy eachrsquos suc-cess is contingent upon the otherrsquos The IoT can never reach its potential without a mechanism for autonomously processing large heterogeneous data sets just as AI is incapable of expanding without being fed massive amounts of data
Like many other IoT-enabling technologies however AI research and development has largely been restricted to the IT sector as the complexity of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) hidden Markov models (HMMs) natural language pro-cessing and other disciplines used in the creation of machine learning algorithms and deep neural networks (DNNs) requires storage and computing resources usually only accessible on a data center scale Likewise programming methodologies have been tuned to IT developers with tools such as R Python SQL Excel RapidMiner Hadoop Spark and Tableau being the most widely employed by data analysts and computer scientists working in the AI field
This gap between AI and data collection at the physicaldigital interchange is a common complication for the IoT which is just beginning to drive the integration of IT and operational tech-nology (OT) Nonetheless itrsquos a gap that must be bridged
AI for the embedded IoTOne of AIrsquos early excursions into the OT space came with the release of the NVIDIA Jetson TK1 platform in 2014 Based on the Tegra K1 system on chip (SoC) and its 192-core Kepler GPU and quad-core ARM Cortex-A15 the Jetson TK1 brought data center-level compute performance to computer vision robotics and automotive applications but also provided embedded engineers with a development platform for the CUDA Deep Neural Network (cuDNN) library The cuDNN primitives enabled operations such as activation functions forward and backward convolution normalization and tensor transformations required for DNN training and inferencing and the combination of this technology with the Jetson TK1rsquos 10 W power envelope meant
that deep learning frameworks such as Caffe and Torch could be accessed and executed on smaller OT devices
Today that groundwork has been extended as the Jetson TK1rsquos successor the Jetson TX1 system on module (SoM) contains 256 CUDA cores an ARM Cortex-A57 CPU and is capable of 1 TFLOPS performance Machine learning tools and libraries are also more widely available through the NVIDIA JetPack 23 an evolution of the original set of cuDNN libraries that better serves OT developers by packaging the CUDA Toolkit 8 devel-opment environment for building GPU-based applications in C and C++ camera and Video4Linux2 (V4L2) APIs the TensorRT inferencing engine and cuDNN 51 which now sup-ports recurrent neural networks (RNNs) and long short-term memory (LSTM) networks An NVIDIA benchmark shows that optimizations in the Jetson TX1 and JetPack 23 can permit up to 20 times better energy efficiency than CPUs running com-parable deep learning workloads while still maintaining an 8-10 W power draw on the TX1 under typical workloads
Never stop learningAs the IoT produces data for the AI revolution the need to monitor the progression of machine learning technologies has also become apparent This not only ensures that intelligent sys-tems endowed with learning capabilities properly pursue the objectives of their education but also that human developers properly refine the underlying frameworks and libraries upon which machine learning is based to meet desired end goals
For this purpose Cornell Computer Science PhD Jason Yosinski created the Deep Visualization Toolbox an open-source project that allows users to observe the various layers of a DNN to infer how machine learning platforms compute answers to complex problems A video demonstration of the Deep Visualization Toolbox running on the Jetson TX1 devel-oper kit can be viewed in the web version of this article at httpbitlyAIforIoT and for those of you fortunate enough to be visiting CES in 2017 NVIDIA typically showcases deep learning technologies at its automotive booth in North Hall

Digital certificates such as X509 used by the transport layer security (TLS) protocol are ingrained in
almost every aspect of our digital lives Whether sending a secure e-mail checking a bank account balance or
performing any other action that requires an encrypted online connection these certificates authenticate the
identity of parties involved in the electronic exchange of information to prevent for example man-in-the-middle
attacks whereby a malicious actor impersonates one entity and potentially alters or misrepresents the content
being exchanged
AWS Microchip deliver trust anchor for end-to-end IoT securityBy Brandon Lewis Technology Editor
Certification authorities (CAs) sign digital certificates as proof that they have validated a root certificate containing an entityrsquos public key which is mathematically associated with a unique private key that remains secret as part of an entityrsquos asymmetric publicprivate key pair (Figures 1A and 1B) This key exchange and verification mechanism between user and CA instills confidence in any recipient of the digital certificate that its sender is in fact who they attest to be
However outside of the enterpriseIT community digital certificates have primarily been used to validate servers only Client authentication is typically not implemented in most applications because it requires certificate provisioning for large sets of heterogeneous end users which complicates the management of a public key infra-structure (PKI) But with the Internet of Things (IoT) introducing billions of clients that not only retrieve information from the cloud but also send data to it the requirement for mutual authentication ndash or the immediate two-way authentication of both clients and servers ndash has steadily increased to ensure overall system integrity
AWS mutual authentication and Just-In-Time RegistrationWith the release of the AWS IoT platform last year Amazon Web Services (AWS) intro-duced mutual authentication to the IoT space As mentioned mutual authentication
technology helps verify the integrity of all parties in a system of systems archi-tecture but also introduces problems related to certificate provisioning for client-side devices
In response AWS released a service this April called ldquoUse Your Own Certificaterdquo which allows original equipment manu-facturers (OEMs) to register digital certificates signed by a third-party CA with the AWS IoT platform using an API The Use Your Own Certificate feature implies that the key exchange required for the creation of a digital certificate can occur independent of a client con-nection with AWS IoT servers and per-haps even before the device itself is connected to the Internet introducing a

new possibility for OEMs Unique cryp-tographic keys can be generated for each device during production signed by a CA as part of an offline digital cer-tificate verification process and then loaded into the AWS IoT platform to await a service request from systems containing the corresponding key pairs This process also lays the groundwork for the latest capability in the AWS IoT portfolio Just-In-Time Registration (JITR) announced in August
JITR is somewhat of a turning point for the IoT in that as the term implies devices can automatically connect to and be recognized by the AWS IoT cloud the first time they request service from the platform This type of immediate autonomous onboarding of devices with cloud services is critical given the pro-jected number of IoT connections but is contingent upon the devices connecting being pre-equipped with unique trusted
private keys in order to enable services such as the Use Your Own Certificate API and to prevent impersonation attacks (Figure 2) It also requires that devices be equipped with the correct server configurations and policies to help facilitate the onboarding process which must also be kept secure
FIGURE 2Just-in-time registration (JITR) allows devices to connect with AWS IoT servers the first time they attempt a service connection but requires that the Use Your Own Certificate API be leveraged first to upload device certificates into AWS IoT

The challenge of device manufacturers is to ensure that these keys and poli-cies remain secret and secure from the time a device is manufactured through the onboarding process and even after a product reaches end of life (EOL) Previously this has been attempted through the installation of hardware security modules (HSMs) in secure rooms at factories periodic factory security audits and time box proto-cols that attempt to define an accept-able onboarding period for devices Unfortunately these methods tend to be either expensive or inexact and also donrsquot account for threats that could compromise systems deployed in the field such as physical tampering
Hardware-based elliptic curve cryptography anchors trust in IoT 2016 has also seen significant news from the other side of the IoT technology spectrum as semiconductor vendor Microchip acquired competitor Atmel for approximately $36 billion earlier this year Among other technologies the pur-chase netted Microchip access to Atmelrsquos portfolio of security ICs including elliptic curve cryptography-based (ECC-based) CryptoAuthentication devices such as the ECC508A (Figure 3)
The ECC508A is noteworthy in the framework of AWS IoTrsquos mutual authen-tication Use Your Own Certificate and JITR capabilities in that the elliptic curve
Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) key agreement protocol it employs enables the internal gener-ation and storage of private keys These keys remain protected through the life of the device due to tamper-resistant architectural features of the chip including internally encrypted memory isolated power rails a memory and logic shield internal clock generation and a lack of probe points that protect against real-world threats such as emissions analysis microprobe power cycling and timing attacks This secure storage space can also be used to house pre-configured AWS server policies resulting in a device that contains all of the information needed for digital certificate authentication and onboarding required by JITR
As seen in wolfSSLrsquos wolfCrypt benchmark of an embedded SSLTLS stack running on the ECC508A the hardware-based crypto acceleration of the chip also offloads encryption tasks from a host processor resulting in improved overall system perfor-mance (Figure 4)
ECC508A and AWS IoT The processAs discussed previously private keys are mathematically correlated with the public keys required for the creation of digital certificates Therefore the ECC508A becomes the root of trust for any device that equips it
In the context of a mutually authenticated AWS IoT deployment leveraging the ECC508A Microchip can act as the CA both generating and signing device certifi-cates in parallel as part of the certificate chain verification process for an IoT OEM
The ECC508A is a 2 mm x 3 mm tamper-resistant CryptoAuthentication device based on elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) cryptography algorithms that provide hardware-based cryptographic key generation storage and countermeasures

The OEM would then load the resulting digital certificates into their AWS IoT account through the Use Your Own Certificate API where they would remain until an incoming TLS request from a device containing the partnered ECC508A key pair triggers the JITR process
The procedure from key generation through cloud onboarding requires a one-time setup shown in Figure 5 As keys are generated in a secure Microchip facility and the key management infrastructure is already in place OEMs are able to access robust security and automatic cloud authentication by adding a single component to their bill of materials (BoM)

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) promises to deliver a step change in efficiency and a leap towards
autonomy for industrial automation and other sectors such as security and surveillance and building management
The prospect of self-monitoring self-managing factories and manufacturing processes is no longer beyond the
distant horizon The ability to remotely identify monitor and control every individual device in a manufacturing
process network with minimal or no human intervention offers opportunities that were beyond comprehension just
a decade ago ndash even in the eyes of engineers working at the very forefront of industrial manufacturing technology
Advances in sensing connectivity and control fuel IIoT designsBy Wiren Perera
The key drivers of the IIoT are more measurement of an expanding number of parameters fast and extensive analysis of and reactions to data and accelerated enhancements to processes Successful IIoT design and management can mean continuously optimized efficiency reduced operating costs and more resilient self-learning processes At the fulcrum of this are a number of semiconductor technolo-gies on offer and in development at some of the worldrsquos top electronic component manufacturers
Vision-based sensing and energy harvestingSensors are at the heart of the IIoT gathering more and more data But to measure more we need to sense more ndash more parameters more accurately and more often Overlaying software on established technologies can bring incremental gains but to make the necessary advances we need to add more parameters with accuracy as each additional parameter can make a system smarter
Sensor technology that measures ldquotraditionalrdquo parameters such as temperature light position level humidity and pressure continues to advance But despite becoming smaller more cost-effective and often embedded each sensor is dedicated and hence limited in its functionality and versatility Vision-based sensing enables a new paradigm Corollary to the concept of ldquoa picture is worth a thousand wordsrdquo once a machine can ldquoseerdquo much more is possible much faster
With vision sensing programmability brings flexibility enabling a single vision system to sense missing or misplaced components and other process vari-ables The trend towards vision-based sensing ndash both still and video ndash will make future systems more intelligent flexible and ultimately more valuable
Current advances in machine vision in many situations can provide better sight than the human eye Coupled with the reduction in risks associated with human error it enables a new degree of adapt-ability and speed for reconfigurable production processes This could be any-thing from optimization based on real-time events to the reconfiguration of a system that may allow multiple products to be made on a single line They only require a simple change from one control

FIGURE 1 ON Semiconductorrsquos Smart Passive Sensor family are wireless energy harvesting sensors that can function autonomously in space-constrained environments
program to the next and the system is ready to run This has obvious cost time and labor benefits and reduces the risks associated with error
However the distributed nature of the IIoT and the requirement to place mul-tiple sensors at various points of mea-surement presents another challenge the reliable delivery of power
Successful sensors especially those utilized in IIoT designs have four basic attributes they need to be self-pow-ered collect data broadcast their status and have the ability to connect Wireless sensors with the ability to harvest energy (ie self-powered) are essential if the IIoT is to advance and realize its potential Wireless energy harvesting solutions such as ON Semiconductorrsquos Smart Passive Sensors are an example of technology that can meet these require-ments (Figure 1) These devices can be deployed in hard-to-access space- constrained environments with no direct power source allowing them to function autonomously
Instant access to dataSensors gather data and then post-pro-cessing and analytics generate valuable information along with the ability to control factories and processes
The processing of large sustained flows of data associated with real-time sensing for the IIoT is reliant on the cloud This analysis requires platforms that can store large data sets across distributed clus-ters often combining and processing data from many geographically dis-persed sources In global organizations for example a problem in a Chinese smart factory can trigger an almost in- stantaneous process improvement in a similar factory located somewhere else in the world
Advances in secure communications and authentication also allow mobile devices to connect to these networks bringing opportunities for instantaneous access to information Flexible access can then drive value into the business and its relationships with the outside world In
fact this IToperational technology (OT) integration as shown in Figure 2 has the potential to bring the greatest benefits to a broad range of industrial automation applications
Combining sensing connectivity and actuationMany industrial control systems are very sophisticated and require accurate or careful often rapid positioning This could mean anything from the speed and direction of a cooling fan to a motor or servo that adjusts a valve position or a stepper motor for linear or angular positioning in a precision task Alongside the rapid development of sensing for the IIoT the actuators and their controllers that provide the physical reac-tions to gathered analyzed data are seeing similar advancements
However integrated manufacturing processes require a broad range of sensing tech-nologies be combined with connectivity and actuation which creates design and expertise challenges Fully integrated hardware and software development platforms that combine these elements are crucial to help speed and ease the customization of specific functions for adoption into end products Modularity makes these platforms extensible to new IoTIIoT functions and devices that are based on new advances allowing more rapid adoption (Figure 3 page 14) Open-source support is also impor-tant since a broad ecosystem and interoperability are crucial for the IoTrsquos success
FIGURE 2 ITOT integration will yield benefits to industrial automation companies through the concatenation of distributed personnel and assets

Sensors data processing and actuators are all significant building blocks of an IIoT application However without a means to communicate share data and transmit receive and execute instructions the IIoT cannot function
Considering the IIoTrsquos unique requirements not all standards and protocols are satis-factory The technologies suitable for smartphone personal area networks (PANs) or single-supplier standards are unlikely to be successful Instead itrsquos important for IIoT
platforms to demonstrate flexibility by supporting a broad array of standards including Thread SIGFOX EnOcean M-Bus KNX ZigBee and proprietary protocols The adoption of a software-defined radio (SDR) approach allows a single platform to support multiple pro-tocols which will be a requirement for platforms designed support multiple applications
ZigBee and Thread are complementary 802154 standards and a liaison relationship between the two industry organizations should help drive broad adoption of these protocols within smart home applications Thread is an IP-based (IPv6) networking protocol built on open standards for low-power mesh networks that can easily and securely connect hundreds of devices to each other and directly to the cloud Security and interoperability are two of Threadrsquos key value-added capabilities
Conversely SIGFOX enables wide-area networks (WANs) that provide relatively low bandwidth communications with fixed or mobile smart objects or sensors deployed over large areas Example applications for this protocol include the nationwide tracking of shipping containers or vehicles and communication with geographically spread assets such as smart-city equipment or oil pumps and pipelines
Technology convergence for the IIoTAt the core of achieving the IIoTrsquos true potential will be the effective interplay and connection of sensing computing and control technologies in robust energy-efficient implementations Every facet of technology is evolving towards this goal with both discrete solutions and integrated development platforms that are enabling embedded and IoT design engineers to transform yester-dayrsquos vision of automated self- managing industry into todayrsquos reality

IoT developers often consider faster time-to-market and lower product maintenance costs when deploying firmware update mechanisms as the capability allows them to stage feature roll-outs enabledisable features or functionality on devices in the field fix firmware bugs after a product has been released reduce the need for expensive technical support and enable better overall end user experiences However if proper security measures are not in place this feature may be misused and the consequences of a successful exploitation can be disastrous ranging from intellectual property (IP) theft and product cloning all the way to unauthor-ized control of the deployed system For example a successful exploitation of firmware update mechanisms that do not support verifying a new firmware imagersquos authenticity in a hospital drug pump can lead to a hacker tampering with the dos-ages of drugs delivered to patients
Firmware updates and their vulnerabilitiesFigure 1 shows a typical firmware update process The steps include
1 The product manufacturer creates and loads an initial firmware image into the device in a trusted environment
2 The product is deployed with the initial firmware into the field
3 When a firmware update is required the product manufacturer creates a new firmware image
4 The manufacturer sends the new firmware image to the end usertechnician or to the product directly through an untrusted communication channel
5 The new firmware is loaded onto the device in the field
In Figure 1 potential security threats are apparent during the ldquotransportrdquo phase when new firmware is transferred via an untrusted communication channel or during the ldquofirmware loadingrdquo phase when the new firmware is downloaded onto the device in the field
The new firmware image being down-loaded to the device corresponds to the IP of the product manufacturer and the target asset Threats to this asset include
1 Reverse engineering of the firmware binary image into assembly or a higher level engineering language to analyze its functionality and contents
2 Product cloning where a firmware image from the product manufacturer is loaded onto a device that is not authorized
3 Alteration of the firmware distributed by the product manufacturer
4 Loading an unauthorized firmware image onto the device which may correspond to an older firmware version from the product manufacturer with known bugs or code created by an unauthorized party or firmware not intended for the specific device (firmware downgrading)
5 Interrupting the firmware update process such that the firmware is only partially updated resulting in a device being unavailable for service
It is evident that the aforementioned threats can have disastrous conse-quences for the product manufacturer service provider and end user thus indi-cating an intense need for embedded designers to strongly consider measures that increase the overall security of the firmware update mechanism

Secure firmware update considerations for ultra-low power MCUsBy Bhargavi Nisarga and Luis Reynoso
16 IoT Design Guide 2016 wwwiotdesignembedded-computingcom
In-field firmware updates are an increasingly
popular feature in microcontroller-based
(MCU-based) applications These updates
enable new firmware images to be downloaded
onto a devicersquos memory providing an effective way
for product manufacturers to offer services and support to products that are already deployed in the
field The Internet of Things (IoT) era is driving increased connectivity in the embedded world making
this one of the most crucial features for todayrsquos connected products ndash so long as they are secure
Secure firmware update considerations for design engineersFigure 2 shows an example representation of network-connected systems In this case the new firmware image is transferred either from the product manufacturer
FIGURE 2A secure firmware update includes security measures dictated by the interface protocols used for network communications as well as application-level security that ensures firmware images are secured before data enters the network
FIGURE 1 Shown here is a typical firmware update process
(eg a new feature roll-out or firmware bug fix) or the service provider (eg to enabledisable features or services in a product) to the end nodes over local or wide area networks (LANsWANs) and may involve authentication from end user applications (eg via mobile devices and web applications) to per-form the firmware update
Embedded systems engineers designing firmware update capabilities for IoT sys-tems need to not only understand the assets that need to be protected and the potential threats but also the capa-bilities and limitations of their system especially as they pertain to cost per-formance or power consumption in constrained systems As a starting point an effective security solution that incor-porates the right combination of crypto-graphic algorithms and protocol-level measures must be considered
Cryptographic algorithms provide a means of protecting the privacy of con-tent while ensuring its authenticity and integrity Not all cryptographic algo-rithms are the same but they are based on four cryptographic primitives that handle one or more components of the con-fidentiality integrity and authenticity (CIA) triad These primitives are
1 Encryption and decryption Encryption is the process by which data (plaintext) is transformed into something random and meaningless (ciphertext) while decryption performs the opposite job These primitives provide both confidentiality and authenticity and are used to prevent the reverse engineering of firmware
2 One-way functions Functions such as hash are mathematical algorithms that are easy to calculate in one direction but difficult in the other They are used to obtain a digital ldquofingerprintrdquo that ensures the integrity of firmware before it is transported into the field

3 Digital signatures Used to detect if a message was altered after it was signed thus providing not only integrity but also authentication These make use of public-key cryptography to generate a signature that can only be properly decrypted using the manufacturerrsquos public key
4 Message authentication code (MAC) Similar to a digital signature except that it uses symmetric keys to encrypt and decrypt a hash generated by the manufacturer If the hash value decrypted by the receiver matches the hash value calculated for the message then the message is valid In this way MACs provide both authenticity and integrity
Some factors that influence the selection of cryptographic algorithms include performance requirements the security needs of the system memory footprint energy consumption and reliability and acceptance of the algorithm by the security
community (such as organizations like the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST))
In addition to cryptographic algorithms protocol-level measures against threats such as firmware downgrading should be considered As mentioned previ-ously firmware downgrading is an attack in which an older defective firm-ware image (encrypted or not) is re-sent to a device in order to revert it to a vul-nerable state A version check of both the firmware and keys can ensure that only new versions are programmed during an update
An attacker can also interrupt a firmware update process using several methods (power loss physical connection failure bits flipped during transmission etc) This can lead to a device executing an incomplete or invalid firmware image rendering it useless or in a compromised state In order to address this scenario firmware update mechanisms need to ensure that an incomplete or corrupted image is not executed and if neces-sary should revert the system to a valid previously used image
Cryptographic bootloaders for connected embedded systemsFirmware updates are typically handled by the device bootloader A bootloader is a piece of code that resides on device memory and has the ability to reprogram the application memory space However finding or creating an embedded boot-loader with the security required for network-connected systems can be challenging For example a system may need the ability to update cryptographic keys so cryptographic functions and a bootloader protocol should support upgrading keys and increased network security during the firmware update pro-cess The bootloader protocol should also accommodate verifying firmware update versions and packet tracking to check if all packets of a specific firmware update image were received
As discussed the selection of a crypto-graphic algorithm is critical because it not only sets the level of security of the sys- tem but it also impacts its performance

Securing firmware for the Internet of ThingsIn summary increasingly network embedded products are creating the potential for advanced security threats making in-field firmware updates more vulnerable to remote attacks and exploitations Therefore it is important for embedded designers to consider securing their firmware update mecha-nisms through solutions that provide the right level of security while balancing the cost power and performance con-straints of IoT products

memory footprint and power consump-tion With this in mind AES-CCM repre-sents an optimal solution for embedded bootloaders AES-CCM is a cryptographic bootloader (Crypto-Bootloader) built on two cryptographic primitives AES Counter Mode (AES-CTR) for encryp-tion and cipher block chaining message
authentication code (CBC-MAC) for integrity and authenticity verification Due to the low overhead provided by AES-CCM it provides a perfect balance between increased security and low memory footprint high throughput and efficient power consumption
The selection of an MCU implementing the bootloader should not be over-looked either Designers should con-sider MCUs with features like hardware encryption engines a memory protec-tion unit (MPU) low-power peripherals and memory technologies that allow fast readwrite cycles for increased throughput The MSP430FR5969 MCU from Texas Instruments is an example of such an MCU that integrates an AES-256 co-processor to accelerate encryption algorithms MPU and MPU-IP encap-sulation (MPU-IPE) modules to enable increased protection and encapsulation of memory regions as well as up to 64 KB of FRAM memory for high performance and ultra-low power consumption The

Herersquos the thing The IoT doesnrsquot need PoCs
I made this statement the other day in a product development team meeting and received looks of shock and disbelief The company with whom I was working has customers asking for help solving a specific problem and we had a multi-disciplinary team reviewing the architecture for a solution The looks I got said ldquoHow can we begin a product development without a PoCrdquo The answer is easy when you consider the definition of a PoC
According to Wikipedia ldquoA proof of concept is a realization of a certain method or idea to demonstrate its feasibility or a demonstration in principle whose purpose is to verify that some concept or theory has the potential of being used A proof of concept is usually small and may or may not be completerdquo
ldquoFeasibilityrdquo is the key word here Feasibility is the role of technology in the Innovation Venn diagram (Figure 1) Is the product technically feasible Can we even make innovation function For the most part after nearly 15 cycles of Moorersquos law and two generations of the Internet this means ldquoDoes the product violate the laws of physicsrdquo
Today particularly in the IoT ecosystem anything is feasible Further one could argue that if the product is a pure software or Internet play it is by definition feasible
The harder questions for new prod-ucts today are the other two parts of the Innovation Venn Is the product
Gateway
I have heard complaints from several Internet of Things (IoT) sales and business leaders about how
proofs-of-concept (PoCs) are slowing them down In some cases they are just frustrated with how often
they are told ldquoWe need to do a PoCrdquo by a development team in response to a request to begin a new product
or offering development In other cases they are frustrated with how the tools used for PoCs ndash development
kits or Maker-ware devices like Arduino and Raspberry Pi ndash prevent them and their customers from deploying
scalable solutions once the concept is proven

desirable If so at what price Is the business viable These are the tough questions facing new offerings today
Therersquos the rub A PoC does nothing to address user desirability or busi-ness viability A PoC only addresses technology
ldquoYoursquove just renamed the PoC as a prototyperdquo you say But therersquos a big difference between the two
In a PoC the developer is not con-strained by manufacturing costs or user acceptance The issue is simple Can I make this offering work Maker tools are excellent for this This is one of the reasons by the way that when one looks for Maker products most of the suppliers are targeting educational organizations Education is about one example one proof that something works one PoC
A prototype however is the first itera-tion of the new product A prototype is built to a product requirements docu-ment (PRD) and that PRD has manu-facturing supply chain constraints certification constraints user experience needs and cost expectations One-off tools like Arduino or Raspberry Pi were not designed for these constraints So when a product development is started with a PoC and uses Maker tools the

The IoT has put a slightly different spin on the product development process because of the addition of an ongoing user-supported experience Business models depend upon ongoing revenue so innovators have to address this need during development This is the role of the pilot The pilot puts the product in a sales-ready format into the hands of enough users in context to measure their adoption of sustained use of and willingness to pay for the product Figure 2 outlines the roles of PoCs prototypes and pilots in the product development process The fastest progression for product development for the IoT is PoC rarr Prototype(s) rarr Pilot rarr Product

Sometimes small changes make a big difference Switching your organizationrsquos thinking from proof-of-concept to proof-of-innovation is one of those changes
Three ways to tell you are wasting time with a PoC1 Examples of the offering exist in
either the lab or with competitors ndash Note that the example can be in other applications or markets For example self-driving cars moved immediately to prototypes because auto-piloted airplanes and drones provided the proof that the technology works for autonomous vehicle operations
2 No new hardware is needed ndash If your new offering depends upon the integration or is a software appli-cation of data then you are not doing a PoC Your technology is feasible it just may not be desirable or viable
3 None of the questions to be answered by the PoC effort involve the laws of physics
Three things that make a good pilot1 You have a sales-ready user
experience ndash An IoT pilot not only has to measure user adoption it also has to measure churn Too much churn will defeat the business To measure these characteristics with confidence across a statistically significant number of users the product must have a sales-ready user experience
2 The product is re-certification tested ndash Since the pilot product is not in fact sold it does not have to be marked UL CE FCC etc But it better be ready to mark As soon as the pilot validates adoption churn and price the sales team is going want to see products shipping so you canrsquot go back and do another spin Be ready
3 The supply chain is solid and meets cost expectations ndash The pilot will measure user adoption at price so if it is successful production will begin Production will have to deliver on that price so the supply chain must be solid
David Smith is Vice President of Engineering and Innovation at MultiTech Systems
They also know that they have to help product development teams move through prototyping to pilots quickly The prototypes can get early user feedback and allow forecasts of costs But the sweet spot of innovation is where users want the new product and are willing to pay a price that sustains the business In the IoT sustaining the business is complicated by recurring expense and revenue This is where the pilot comes in The pilot validates the product and the business model
PoCs are not bad but they are not often necessary in business today Perhaps the best example of this is a place where PoCs are the lifeblood of the company Google X Their mission is to make moon shots learn from failure and solve grand problems with approaches no one else is willing to try If your mission is similar then PoCs are great If you are under pressure to grow and generate new forms of revenue using digital technology beware the PoC

As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues its rapid pace of growth therersquos been no shortage of inflated
expectations Platforms promising to ease the development deployment and management of IoT systems are
now counted in the hundreds You might believe that all you have to do is pick a platform you like the best from
the vendor you trust the most and go build your IoT system Well the story is not so simple
In reality nearly all of the IoT platforms available are designed to only support cloud-centric architectures These platforms centralize the ldquointelligencerdquo in the cloud and require data to be conveyed from the edge to do anything useful with it Considering the success of this cloud-centric model in IT (and in some IoT applications like fleet management) you may wonder whatrsquos the big deal
Simply put cloud-centric architectures arenrsquot applicable to a large class of IoT applications Most notably cloud-centric architectures fall short in supporting Industrial IoT (IIoT) sys-tems and struggle with more demanding Consumer IoT (CIoT) applications
The scariest part is that the situation will only get worse with the predicted increase in the number of connected things But there are some things more fundamental limiting cloud-centric architecturesrsquo applicability for IoT systems
Connectivity ndash Cloud-centric architectures assume that sufficient connectivity exists from the things to the cloud This is necessary for collecting the data from the edge and for pushing insight or control actions from the cloud to the edge Yet connectivity
is hard to guarantee for several IoTIIoT applications such as smart autonomous consumer and agricultural vehicles As you can imagine connectivity may be taken for granted in metropolitan areas but not so much in rural areas
Bandwidth ndash Cloud-centric computing assumes that sufficient bandwidth exists to ingest the data from the edge into the data center The challenge here is that several IIoT applications produce incredible volumes of data For instance a factory can easily produce a terabyte of data per day and these numbers will only grow with the continued digitalization of factories
Latency ndash Therersquos a large class of IIoT systems for which the latency required to send data to the cloud make decisions and eventually send data toward the edge to act on these decisions may be completely incompatible with the dynamics of the underlying system A key difference between IT and IoTIIoT is that the latter deals with physical entities As such the reaction time must be compatible with the dynamics of the physical entity or process with which the application interacts Failing to react with the proper latency can lead to system instability infrastructure damage or even put human operators at risk
Cloud
The IoT needs fog computingBy Angelo Corsaro
wwwiotdesignembedded-computingcom IoT Design Guide 2016 23
Cost ndash In the age of smartphones and very cheap data plans most people assume that the cost of connectivity is negligible The reality is quite different in IIoT due to either bandwidth requirements or connectivity points While in consumer applications the individual person (the consumer) pays for connectivity in most IoTIIoT applications (such as smart grids) itrsquos the operator who foots the bill As a result cost is usually carefully accounted for as it has an impact on operating expense and consequently on operational costs and margins
Security ndash Finally even assuming that all the above-listed issues are addressed a large class of IoTIIoT applications are not comfortable with or are incapable due to regulation of pushing their data to a cloud
Unless you can guarantee that the connectivity bandwidth latency cost and security requirements of your application are compatible with a cloud-centric architecture you need a dif-ferent paradigm and 999 percent of the IoT platforms avail-able on the market are not of much use
Fog computing is emerging as the main paradigm to address the connectivity bandwidth latency cost and security chal-lenges imposed by cloud-centric architectures The main idea behind fog computing is to provide elastic compute storage and communication close to the things so that data neednrsquot be sent all the way to the cloud or at least not all data and not all the time And the infrastructure is designed ground-up to deal with cyber- physical systems (CPS) as opposed to IT systems In other words the infrastructure is designed to consider the constraints imposed by the interactions with the physical world in terms of latency determinism load balancing and fault-tolerance
Defining fog computingTwo trends that are at the core of the IIoT revolution are soft-warization and digital twins
Softwarization is a trend that is disrupting several industries Its mantra is the replacement of specialized hardware implementa-tions such as a programmable logic controller (PLC) on an indus-trial floor with software running in a virtualized environment
Digital twins as the name hints are a digital representation (computerized model) of a physical entity (such as a compressor or a turbine) that is animated through the live data coming from its physical brother or sister Digital twins have several applications such as monitoring diagnostics and prognostics Additionally Digital twins provide useful insights to RampD teams for improving next-generation designs as well as continuously ameliorating the fidelity of their models
As softwarization transforms specialized hardware into soft-ware it creates an opportunity for convergence and consolida-tion If we take as an example soft PLCs (ie softwarized PLCs) all of a sudden they can be deployed on commodity hardware in a virtualized environment and decoupled from the IO logic that can remain closer to the source of data As a side note
the general idea of softwarization applied to the factory floor is often referred to as software-defined machines or software-defined automation
As a result of softwarization and digital twins there is an opportunity for modernizing the factory floor consolidating its hardware and improving availability productivity manage-ability resilience to failure and innovation agility In essence as a result of softwarization there is the opportunity to manage these systems as a data center As softwarization is a trend that is impacting a large class of industries it is worth highlighting that the transformations described above along with its ben-efits are not just limited to industrial automation But there is a catch the large majority of these systems whether in the industrial transportation or medical domains are subject to the performance constraints previously discussed
These systems interact with the physical world and as such they need to react at the pace imposed by the physical entity with which they interact As a consequence while traditional cloud infrastructure would be functionally perfect to address these use cases it turns out to be inadequate as it is typi-cally not designed with these non-functional requirements in mind and is often too heavyweight Cloud infrastructures were designed for IT systems in which a delay in the response time may create a bored or upset customer but will not cause a robot arm to smash against a wall another machine or worse
Now it should be clear that fog computing is not just about applying distributed computing to the edge Fog computing is about providing an infrastructure that while virtualizing elastic compute storage and communication is able to address the non-functional properties characteristic of these domains
Fog computing makes it possible to provision and manage softwarized hardware (eg a soft PLC digital twins analytics and anything else that may need to run on the system) while ensuring the proper non-functional requirements and bringing all the benefits listed above in terms of convergence manage-ability availability agility and efficiency improvement
Fog computing provides a flexible infrastructure to provision deploy monitor and manage software at the edge This should clarify how just deploying some logic on an edge gateway isnrsquot fog computing and neither is fog computing traditional dis-tributed computing

Fluid computing Unifying cloud fog and mist computingWhat is mist computing As the name implies mist is closer to the ground than fog which in turn is closer to the ground than the cloud But beside the meteorological analogies what does this really mean As yoursquove probably guessed this means that mist computing is about bringing elastic compute storage and communication directly onto the things Thus if we continue with the meteorological analogy cloud infrastructure is high in the data center fog infrastructure is between the things and the cloud and mist infrastructure is simply the things
The goals of mist computing essentially are two
1 Enabling resource harvesting by exploiting the computation storage and communication capabilities available on the things
2 Allowing arbitrary computations to be provisioned deployed managed and monitored on the things
As you can imagine things in IoT applications are extremely heterogeneous in terms of platforms resources and con-nectivity Thus the main challenge for mist infrastructures is to be sufficiently lightweight to be able to establish a fabric that virtualizes compute storage and communication without consuming too many resources
If we look from a distance at a generic IoTIIoT system we will realize that from an infrastructural perspective we will have to deal with data centers that are in a public or private cloud edge infrastructure and the actual things IoTIIoT systems will need to exploit resources that span these three tiers and provi-sion deploy monitor and manage applications and services across the tiers On the other hand if we look at the techno-logical landscape there is a complete fragmentation between the technologies used for cloud computing fog computing and the emerging mist computing This fragmentation makes it difficult to establish a unified end-to-end perspective of the system and it makes it practically impossible to treat the system as a uniform and virtualized compute storage and communication fabric
At this point the question is ldquoWhat can we do about itrdquo
The first step toward addressing a problem is recognizing it To this end that means raising awareness about the challenges that this fragmentation may induce The second step is to establish a vision of how the problem can be solved so that the industry can internalize it and eventually address it
Letrsquos focus for a moment on what would make sense for the user of an IoTIIoT platform as opposed to the technical details of whether cloud fog or mist is the right answer
From a high-level perspective why should a designer of an IoTIIoT application care whether he or she will be using cloud fog or mist computing paradigms The only thing that really matters is that the platform provides a way to provision
manage and monitor applications in such a way that appli-cations can meet their functional and non-functional require-ments The functional and non-functional requirements drive the allocation of applications on things fog or cloud layers ndash but anything else is just a detail isnrsquot it
Fluid computing is an architectural principle based on the abstraction of the topological details of the computational infrastructure Fluid architectures provide an end-to-end fabric that can be used to seamlessly provision deploy manage and monitor applications regardless of whether the underlying resource is provided by the cloud infrastructure the fog infra-structure or by things
Fluid computing unifies under a single abstraction of cloud fog and mist computing In other words cloud fog and mist computing can be seen as application of fluid computing in a specific bounded context
As the IoTIIoT market evolves expect a convergence of cloud fog and mist computing platforms toward a fluid computing platform This convergence will be necessary if not essential to accelerate the adoption of IoT

CIA and TPM to secure the IoTBy Guenther Fischer
CIA TPM and IoT You might ask what these three acronyms have in common and how they relate to each other
To make a long story short it is all about security trust and reliability
The abbreviation CIA in this context does not mean the Central Intelligence Agency It is an abbreviation for Confidentiality Integrity and Authenticity The so-called CIA principle is a simple but widely used security model covering three key tenets that should be guaranteed by all secure systems
Confidentiality is intended in the sense of hiding information from people not authorized to view it It is perhaps the most obvious aspect of the CIA model when it comes to security At the same time it is also the one most under attack Cryptographic symmetric and asymmetric encryption methods are examples of means to ensure confidentiality when transmitting data from one computer system to another
Integrity on the other hand represents the certainty that data is accurate and not changed on its journey from the original sender to the intended receiver A common security attack often called a man-in-the-middle attack intercepts data and makes changes to it before passing it on to the intended receiver Cryptographic digital signature methods are one way to attest the integrity of code and data
In addition authenticity is needed to address the concern about genuine information In other words you want to make sure the information you receive actually comes from the source that claims to be its genuine origin Cryptographic digital certificates are used to prove the authenticity of the issuer
Now that we understand why CIA is important for a secure system letrsquos move to the third acronym IoT
After many years of being an overhyped marketing term the so-called Internet of Things (IoT) is starting to become mature and real Mark Weiser created the term ldquoubiquitous computingrdquo first in his famous Scientific American article ldquoThe Computer for the 21st Centuryrdquo pub lished September 1991 His thinking was so ahead of his time that it seemed like science fiction to most of his readers In 2016 his vision has become reality Ubiquitous computing (or ubicomp for short) became todayrsquos ndash perhaps overhyped ndash IoT
Weiser started his article ldquoThe most profound technologies are those that disappear They weave themselves into the fabric of

everyday life until they are indistinguishable from itrdquo He pre-dicted that computing devices would become commonplace and part of all aspects of life and he was right Just consider for example the consumer gadgets like fitness bands smart watches smart phones or navigation systems that send and receive data all day long Or consider the home which is con-nected to a power grid where a smart meter allows the energy provider to effectively calculate the resources needed to cover the demand of all households Interconnected computing devices are everywhere nowadays
Shifting focus to industrial applications todayrsquos business IoT applications are developed together with devices and services coming from various sectors of industry information tech-nology automation and production technology aerospace maritime and naval systems railways car manufacturers and their suppliers energy providers agricultural medical tech-nology and building automation All of those share character-istics including long life in the field reliability and robustness in harsh environments and reliable long-term availability
IoT systems rely on public networks but public networks are not secure environments While IoT creates new capabilities and services allows greater efficiencies increases flexibility and enables the customization of single production units it also opens up previously closed systems and allows attackers to get access to those systems from the outside world
Attackers often use reverse engineering techniques to iden-tify software vulnerabilities which they can exploit to create counterfeit products steal sensitive data or tamper with the device for sabotage and espionage purposes This can lead to serious and dangerous hacks as recent attacks on safety-critical automotive aerospace and medical components have shown
This brings us back to the CIA principle we started with The only way to avoid situations like those listed above is to apply

the CIA security model to the world of IoT devices As we have learned CIA is built around cryprograhic operations Todayrsquos modern cryprography leverages standard crypto protocols The Dutch cryptographer Auguste Kerckhoffs stated a maxim in the 19th century that would become known as Kerckhoffsrsquo principle A cryptosystem should be secure even if everything about the system except for the key is public knowledge
I repeat everything is public knowledge except for the key which is needed to encrypt and decrypt the content either directly or in a derived form So how do you store a key in a secure manner This brings me to the second acronym TPM the Trusted Platform Module
In the world of cryptography there is a ton of other acronyms referring to the various protocols and methods that are used to ensure the CIA principle To name just a few of them you have DES AES for symmetric cryptography and RSA ECC for asymmetric cryptography The list of acronyms goes on and on The really important part however is that the algorithms themselves are typically not secret they are publicly available just as Kerckhoffsrsquo principle demands it The only part that really needs to be kept secret is the key itself This sounds simple but it is pretty hard to achieve To keep the key secret you need a secure place like a safe which we will call a secure element to securely store the key A TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is such a secure element and it offers a lot more including the crypto protocols
In a nutshell a TPM is a specialized and dedicated device that offers crypto operations and secure storage for secret keys all in one This allows you to store the key in a secure place and even more importantly it allows the key to stay there so it never leaves its secure location All important crypto operations are done inside of the TPM itself and only the results are exposed This prevents the key from getting compromised In case you want to know why it is important to have this dedicated functionality separated in a dedicated device I recommend you to read the following two articles These should make it obvious how impor-tant it is to have a dedicated secure element like a TPM inside a computing device to make it secure trustable and reliable
So how can incidents like these be prevented Use technology that creates secured code and licenses that can be bound to a secure element in the target system ensuring that the code and the licensed features can only be used on an individual system License creation and deployment can be integrated into existing business processes such as ERP systems or e-commerce platforms This mechanism opens up new business models such as feature-on-demand upselling and time-based or pay-per-use licenses for the IoT and other intelligent devices The result is improved security from attacks malware theft and other malfeasance for code and IP

Digital certificates such as X509 used by the transport layer security (TLS) protocol are ingrained in
almost every aspect of our digital lives Whether sending a secure e-mail checking a bank account balance or
performing any other action that requires an encrypted online connection these certificates authenticate the
identity of parties involved in the electronic exchange of information to prevent for example man-in-the-middle
attacks whereby a malicious actor impersonates one entity and potentially alters or misrepresents the content
being exchanged
AWS Microchip deliver trust anchor for end-to-end IoT securityBy Brandon Lewis Technology Editor
Certification authorities (CAs) sign digital certificates as proof that they have validated a root certificate containing an entityrsquos public key which is mathematically associated with a unique private key that remains secret as part of an entityrsquos asymmetric publicprivate key pair (Figures 1A and 1B) This key exchange and verification mechanism between user and CA instills confidence in any recipient of the digital certificate that its sender is in fact who they attest to be
However outside of the enterpriseIT community digital certificates have primarily been used to validate servers only Client authentication is typically not implemented in most applications because it requires certificate provisioning for large sets of heterogeneous end users which complicates the management of a public key infra-structure (PKI) But with the Internet of Things (IoT) introducing billions of clients that not only retrieve information from the cloud but also send data to it the requirement for mutual authentication ndash or the immediate two-way authentication of both clients and servers ndash has steadily increased to ensure overall system integrity
AWS mutual authentication and Just-In-Time RegistrationWith the release of the AWS IoT platform last year Amazon Web Services (AWS) intro-duced mutual authentication to the IoT space As mentioned mutual authentication
technology helps verify the integrity of all parties in a system of systems archi-tecture but also introduces problems related to certificate provisioning for client-side devices
In response AWS released a service this April called ldquoUse Your Own Certificaterdquo which allows original equipment manu-facturers (OEMs) to register digital certificates signed by a third-party CA with the AWS IoT platform using an API The Use Your Own Certificate feature implies that the key exchange required for the creation of a digital certificate can occur independent of a client con-nection with AWS IoT servers and per-haps even before the device itself is connected to the Internet introducing a

new possibility for OEMs Unique cryp-tographic keys can be generated for each device during production signed by a CA as part of an offline digital cer-tificate verification process and then loaded into the AWS IoT platform to await a service request from systems containing the corresponding key pairs This process also lays the groundwork for the latest capability in the AWS IoT portfolio Just-In-Time Registration (JITR) announced in August
JITR is somewhat of a turning point for the IoT in that as the term implies devices can automatically connect to and be recognized by the AWS IoT cloud the first time they request service from the platform This type of immediate autonomous onboarding of devices with cloud services is critical given the pro-jected number of IoT connections but is contingent upon the devices connecting being pre-equipped with unique trusted
private keys in order to enable services such as the Use Your Own Certificate API and to prevent impersonation attacks (Figure 2) It also requires that devices be equipped with the correct server configurations and policies to help facilitate the onboarding process which must also be kept secure
FIGURE 2Just-in-time registration (JITR) allows devices to connect with AWS IoT servers the first time they attempt a service connection but requires that the Use Your Own Certificate API be leveraged first to upload device certificates into AWS IoT

The challenge of device manufacturers is to ensure that these keys and poli-cies remain secret and secure from the time a device is manufactured through the onboarding process and even after a product reaches end of life (EOL) Previously this has been attempted through the installation of hardware security modules (HSMs) in secure rooms at factories periodic factory security audits and time box proto-cols that attempt to define an accept-able onboarding period for devices Unfortunately these methods tend to be either expensive or inexact and also donrsquot account for threats that could compromise systems deployed in the field such as physical tampering
Hardware-based elliptic curve cryptography anchors trust in IoT 2016 has also seen significant news from the other side of the IoT technology spectrum as semiconductor vendor Microchip acquired competitor Atmel for approximately $36 billion earlier this year Among other technologies the pur-chase netted Microchip access to Atmelrsquos portfolio of security ICs including elliptic curve cryptography-based (ECC-based) CryptoAuthentication devices such as the ECC508A (Figure 3)
The ECC508A is noteworthy in the framework of AWS IoTrsquos mutual authen-tication Use Your Own Certificate and JITR capabilities in that the elliptic curve
Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) key agreement protocol it employs enables the internal gener-ation and storage of private keys These keys remain protected through the life of the device due to tamper-resistant architectural features of the chip including internally encrypted memory isolated power rails a memory and logic shield internal clock generation and a lack of probe points that protect against real-world threats such as emissions analysis microprobe power cycling and timing attacks This secure storage space can also be used to house pre-configured AWS server policies resulting in a device that contains all of the information needed for digital certificate authentication and onboarding required by JITR
As seen in wolfSSLrsquos wolfCrypt benchmark of an embedded SSLTLS stack running on the ECC508A the hardware-based crypto acceleration of the chip also offloads encryption tasks from a host processor resulting in improved overall system perfor-mance (Figure 4)
ECC508A and AWS IoT The processAs discussed previously private keys are mathematically correlated with the public keys required for the creation of digital certificates Therefore the ECC508A becomes the root of trust for any device that equips it
In the context of a mutually authenticated AWS IoT deployment leveraging the ECC508A Microchip can act as the CA both generating and signing device certifi-cates in parallel as part of the certificate chain verification process for an IoT OEM
The ECC508A is a 2 mm x 3 mm tamper-resistant CryptoAuthentication device based on elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) cryptography algorithms that provide hardware-based cryptographic key generation storage and countermeasures

The OEM would then load the resulting digital certificates into their AWS IoT account through the Use Your Own Certificate API where they would remain until an incoming TLS request from a device containing the partnered ECC508A key pair triggers the JITR process
The procedure from key generation through cloud onboarding requires a one-time setup shown in Figure 5 As keys are generated in a secure Microchip facility and the key management infrastructure is already in place OEMs are able to access robust security and automatic cloud authentication by adding a single component to their bill of materials (BoM)
Dropping anchor on IoT securitySecurity is essential to the continued rollout of IoT in every market and discrete solutions that allow device makers to separate security from business functions and value adds will enable more innovative products in the future An ECC508A evaluation kit is available for interested parties through Microchip and distribu-tors such as DigiKey and Mouser with trials and tutorials of AWS IoT accessible at awsamazoncomiot

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) promises to deliver a step change in efficiency and a leap towards
autonomy for industrial automation and other sectors such as security and surveillance and building management
The prospect of self-monitoring self-managing factories and manufacturing processes is no longer beyond the
distant horizon The ability to remotely identify monitor and control every individual device in a manufacturing
process network with minimal or no human intervention offers opportunities that were beyond comprehension just
a decade ago ndash even in the eyes of engineers working at the very forefront of industrial manufacturing technology
Advances in sensing connectivity and control fuel IIoT designsBy Wiren Perera
The key drivers of the IIoT are more measurement of an expanding number of parameters fast and extensive analysis of and reactions to data and accelerated enhancements to processes Successful IIoT design and management can mean continuously optimized efficiency reduced operating costs and more resilient self-learning processes At the fulcrum of this are a number of semiconductor technolo-gies on offer and in development at some of the worldrsquos top electronic component manufacturers
Vision-based sensing and energy harvestingSensors are at the heart of the IIoT gathering more and more data But to measure more we need to sense more ndash more parameters more accurately and more often Overlaying software on established technologies can bring incremental gains but to make the necessary advances we need to add more parameters with accuracy as each additional parameter can make a system smarter
Sensor technology that measures ldquotraditionalrdquo parameters such as temperature light position level humidity and pressure continues to advance But despite becoming smaller more cost-effective and often embedded each sensor is dedicated and hence limited in its functionality and versatility Vision-based sensing enables a new paradigm Corollary to the concept of ldquoa picture is worth a thousand wordsrdquo once a machine can ldquoseerdquo much more is possible much faster
With vision sensing programmability brings flexibility enabling a single vision system to sense missing or misplaced components and other process vari-ables The trend towards vision-based sensing ndash both still and video ndash will make future systems more intelligent flexible and ultimately more valuable
Current advances in machine vision in many situations can provide better sight than the human eye Coupled with the reduction in risks associated with human error it enables a new degree of adapt-ability and speed for reconfigurable production processes This could be any-thing from optimization based on real-time events to the reconfiguration of a system that may allow multiple products to be made on a single line They only require a simple change from one control

FIGURE 1 ON Semiconductorrsquos Smart Passive Sensor family are wireless energy harvesting sensors that can function autonomously in space-constrained environments
program to the next and the system is ready to run This has obvious cost time and labor benefits and reduces the risks associated with error
However the distributed nature of the IIoT and the requirement to place mul-tiple sensors at various points of mea-surement presents another challenge the reliable delivery of power
Successful sensors especially those utilized in IIoT designs have four basic attributes they need to be self-pow-ered collect data broadcast their status and have the ability to connect Wireless sensors with the ability to harvest energy (ie self-powered) are essential if the IIoT is to advance and realize its potential Wireless energy harvesting solutions such as ON Semiconductorrsquos Smart Passive Sensors are an example of technology that can meet these require-ments (Figure 1) These devices can be deployed in hard-to-access space- constrained environments with no direct power source allowing them to function autonomously
Instant access to dataSensors gather data and then post-pro-cessing and analytics generate valuable information along with the ability to control factories and processes
The processing of large sustained flows of data associated with real-time sensing for the IIoT is reliant on the cloud This analysis requires platforms that can store large data sets across distributed clus-ters often combining and processing data from many geographically dis-persed sources In global organizations for example a problem in a Chinese smart factory can trigger an almost in- stantaneous process improvement in a similar factory located somewhere else in the world
Advances in secure communications and authentication also allow mobile devices to connect to these networks bringing opportunities for instantaneous access to information Flexible access can then drive value into the business and its relationships with the outside world In
fact this IToperational technology (OT) integration as shown in Figure 2 has the potential to bring the greatest benefits to a broad range of industrial automation applications
Combining sensing connectivity and actuationMany industrial control systems are very sophisticated and require accurate or careful often rapid positioning This could mean anything from the speed and direction of a cooling fan to a motor or servo that adjusts a valve position or a stepper motor for linear or angular positioning in a precision task Alongside the rapid development of sensing for the IIoT the actuators and their controllers that provide the physical reac-tions to gathered analyzed data are seeing similar advancements
However integrated manufacturing processes require a broad range of sensing tech-nologies be combined with connectivity and actuation which creates design and expertise challenges Fully integrated hardware and software development platforms that combine these elements are crucial to help speed and ease the customization of specific functions for adoption into end products Modularity makes these platforms extensible to new IoTIIoT functions and devices that are based on new advances allowing more rapid adoption (Figure 3 page 14) Open-source support is also impor-tant since a broad ecosystem and interoperability are crucial for the IoTrsquos success
FIGURE 2 ITOT integration will yield benefits to industrial automation companies through the concatenation of distributed personnel and assets

Sensors data processing and actuators are all significant building blocks of an IIoT application However without a means to communicate share data and transmit receive and execute instructions the IIoT cannot function
Considering the IIoTrsquos unique requirements not all standards and protocols are satis-factory The technologies suitable for smartphone personal area networks (PANs) or single-supplier standards are unlikely to be successful Instead itrsquos important for IIoT
platforms to demonstrate flexibility by supporting a broad array of standards including Thread SIGFOX EnOcean M-Bus KNX ZigBee and proprietary protocols The adoption of a software-defined radio (SDR) approach allows a single platform to support multiple pro-tocols which will be a requirement for platforms designed support multiple applications
ZigBee and Thread are complementary 802154 standards and a liaison relationship between the two industry organizations should help drive broad adoption of these protocols within smart home applications Thread is an IP-based (IPv6) networking protocol built on open standards for low-power mesh networks that can easily and securely connect hundreds of devices to each other and directly to the cloud Security and interoperability are two of Threadrsquos key value-added capabilities
Conversely SIGFOX enables wide-area networks (WANs) that provide relatively low bandwidth communications with fixed or mobile smart objects or sensors deployed over large areas Example applications for this protocol include the nationwide tracking of shipping containers or vehicles and communication with geographically spread assets such as smart-city equipment or oil pumps and pipelines
Technology convergence for the IIoTAt the core of achieving the IIoTrsquos true potential will be the effective interplay and connection of sensing computing and control technologies in robust energy-efficient implementations Every facet of technology is evolving towards this goal with both discrete solutions and integrated development platforms that are enabling embedded and IoT design engineers to transform yester-dayrsquos vision of automated self- managing industry into todayrsquos reality

IoT developers often consider faster time-to-market and lower product maintenance costs when deploying firmware update mechanisms as the capability allows them to stage feature roll-outs enabledisable features or functionality on devices in the field fix firmware bugs after a product has been released reduce the need for expensive technical support and enable better overall end user experiences However if proper security measures are not in place this feature may be misused and the consequences of a successful exploitation can be disastrous ranging from intellectual property (IP) theft and product cloning all the way to unauthor-ized control of the deployed system For example a successful exploitation of firmware update mechanisms that do not support verifying a new firmware imagersquos authenticity in a hospital drug pump can lead to a hacker tampering with the dos-ages of drugs delivered to patients
Firmware updates and their vulnerabilitiesFigure 1 shows a typical firmware update process The steps include
1 The product manufacturer creates and loads an initial firmware image into the device in a trusted environment
2 The product is deployed with the initial firmware into the field
3 When a firmware update is required the product manufacturer creates a new firmware image
4 The manufacturer sends the new firmware image to the end usertechnician or to the product directly through an untrusted communication channel
5 The new firmware is loaded onto the device in the field
In Figure 1 potential security threats are apparent during the ldquotransportrdquo phase when new firmware is transferred via an untrusted communication channel or during the ldquofirmware loadingrdquo phase when the new firmware is downloaded onto the device in the field
The new firmware image being down-loaded to the device corresponds to the IP of the product manufacturer and the target asset Threats to this asset include
1 Reverse engineering of the firmware binary image into assembly or a higher level engineering language to analyze its functionality and contents
2 Product cloning where a firmware image from the product manufacturer is loaded onto a device that is not authorized
3 Alteration of the firmware distributed by the product manufacturer
4 Loading an unauthorized firmware image onto the device which may correspond to an older firmware version from the product manufacturer with known bugs or code created by an unauthorized party or firmware not intended for the specific device (firmware downgrading)
5 Interrupting the firmware update process such that the firmware is only partially updated resulting in a device being unavailable for service
It is evident that the aforementioned threats can have disastrous conse-quences for the product manufacturer service provider and end user thus indi-cating an intense need for embedded designers to strongly consider measures that increase the overall security of the firmware update mechanism

Secure firmware update considerations for ultra-low power MCUsBy Bhargavi Nisarga and Luis Reynoso
16 IoT Design Guide 2016 wwwiotdesignembedded-computingcom
In-field firmware updates are an increasingly
popular feature in microcontroller-based
(MCU-based) applications These updates
enable new firmware images to be downloaded
onto a devicersquos memory providing an effective way
for product manufacturers to offer services and support to products that are already deployed in the
field The Internet of Things (IoT) era is driving increased connectivity in the embedded world making
this one of the most crucial features for todayrsquos connected products ndash so long as they are secure
Secure firmware update considerations for design engineersFigure 2 shows an example representation of network-connected systems In this case the new firmware image is transferred either from the product manufacturer
FIGURE 2A secure firmware update includes security measures dictated by the interface protocols used for network communications as well as application-level security that ensures firmware images are secured before data enters the network
FIGURE 1 Shown here is a typical firmware update process
(eg a new feature roll-out or firmware bug fix) or the service provider (eg to enabledisable features or services in a product) to the end nodes over local or wide area networks (LANsWANs) and may involve authentication from end user applications (eg via mobile devices and web applications) to per-form the firmware update
Embedded systems engineers designing firmware update capabilities for IoT sys-tems need to not only understand the assets that need to be protected and the potential threats but also the capa-bilities and limitations of their system especially as they pertain to cost per-formance or power consumption in constrained systems As a starting point an effective security solution that incor-porates the right combination of crypto-graphic algorithms and protocol-level measures must be considered
Cryptographic algorithms provide a means of protecting the privacy of con-tent while ensuring its authenticity and integrity Not all cryptographic algo-rithms are the same but they are based on four cryptographic primitives that handle one or more components of the con-fidentiality integrity and authenticity (CIA) triad These primitives are
1 Encryption and decryption Encryption is the process by which data (plaintext) is transformed into something random and meaningless (ciphertext) while decryption performs the opposite job These primitives provide both confidentiality and authenticity and are used to prevent the reverse engineering of firmware
2 One-way functions Functions such as hash are mathematical algorithms that are easy to calculate in one direction but difficult in the other They are used to obtain a digital ldquofingerprintrdquo that ensures the integrity of firmware before it is transported into the field

3 Digital signatures Used to detect if a message was altered after it was signed thus providing not only integrity but also authentication These make use of public-key cryptography to generate a signature that can only be properly decrypted using the manufacturerrsquos public key
4 Message authentication code (MAC) Similar to a digital signature except that it uses symmetric keys to encrypt and decrypt a hash generated by the manufacturer If the hash value decrypted by the receiver matches the hash value calculated for the message then the message is valid In this way MACs provide both authenticity and integrity
Some factors that influence the selection of cryptographic algorithms include performance requirements the security needs of the system memory footprint energy consumption and reliability and acceptance of the algorithm by the security
community (such as organizations like the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST))
In addition to cryptographic algorithms protocol-level measures against threats such as firmware downgrading should be considered As mentioned previ-ously firmware downgrading is an attack in which an older defective firm-ware image (encrypted or not) is re-sent to a device in order to revert it to a vul-nerable state A version check of both the firmware and keys can ensure that only new versions are programmed during an update
An attacker can also interrupt a firmware update process using several methods (power loss physical connection failure bits flipped during transmission etc) This can lead to a device executing an incomplete or invalid firmware image rendering it useless or in a compromised state In order to address this scenario firmware update mechanisms need to ensure that an incomplete or corrupted image is not executed and if neces-sary should revert the system to a valid previously used image
Cryptographic bootloaders for connected embedded systemsFirmware updates are typically handled by the device bootloader A bootloader is a piece of code that resides on device memory and has the ability to reprogram the application memory space However finding or creating an embedded boot-loader with the security required for network-connected systems can be challenging For example a system may need the ability to update cryptographic keys so cryptographic functions and a bootloader protocol should support upgrading keys and increased network security during the firmware update pro-cess The bootloader protocol should also accommodate verifying firmware update versions and packet tracking to check if all packets of a specific firmware update image were received
As discussed the selection of a crypto-graphic algorithm is critical because it not only sets the level of security of the sys- tem but it also impacts its performance

Crypto-Bootloader solution imple-mented on MSP430FR5969 devices encapsulates most of the security fea-tures and considerations outlined here (Figure 3)
Securing firmware for the Internet of ThingsIn summary increasingly network embedded products are creating the potential for advanced security threats making in-field firmware updates more vulnerable to remote attacks and exploitations Therefore it is important for embedded designers to consider securing their firmware update mecha-nisms through solutions that provide the right level of security while balancing the cost power and performance con-straints of IoT products

memory footprint and power consump-tion With this in mind AES-CCM repre-sents an optimal solution for embedded bootloaders AES-CCM is a cryptographic bootloader (Crypto-Bootloader) built on two cryptographic primitives AES Counter Mode (AES-CTR) for encryp-tion and cipher block chaining message
authentication code (CBC-MAC) for integrity and authenticity verification Due to the low overhead provided by AES-CCM it provides a perfect balance between increased security and low memory footprint high throughput and efficient power consumption
The selection of an MCU implementing the bootloader should not be over-looked either Designers should con-sider MCUs with features like hardware encryption engines a memory protec-tion unit (MPU) low-power peripherals and memory technologies that allow fast readwrite cycles for increased throughput The MSP430FR5969 MCU from Texas Instruments is an example of such an MCU that integrates an AES-256 co-processor to accelerate encryption algorithms MPU and MPU-IP encap-sulation (MPU-IPE) modules to enable increased protection and encapsulation of memory regions as well as up to 64 KB of FRAM memory for high performance and ultra-low power consumption The

Herersquos the thing The IoT doesnrsquot need PoCs
I made this statement the other day in a product development team meeting and received looks of shock and disbelief The company with whom I was working has customers asking for help solving a specific problem and we had a multi-disciplinary team reviewing the architecture for a solution The looks I got said ldquoHow can we begin a product development without a PoCrdquo The answer is easy when you consider the definition of a PoC
According to Wikipedia ldquoA proof of concept is a realization of a certain method or idea to demonstrate its feasibility or a demonstration in principle whose purpose is to verify that some concept or theory has the potential of being used A proof of concept is usually small and may or may not be completerdquo
ldquoFeasibilityrdquo is the key word here Feasibility is the role of technology in the Innovation Venn diagram (Figure 1) Is the product technically feasible Can we even make innovation function For the most part after nearly 15 cycles of Moorersquos law and two generations of the Internet this means ldquoDoes the product violate the laws of physicsrdquo
Today particularly in the IoT ecosystem anything is feasible Further one could argue that if the product is a pure software or Internet play it is by definition feasible
The harder questions for new prod-ucts today are the other two parts of the Innovation Venn Is the product
Gateway
I have heard complaints from several Internet of Things (IoT) sales and business leaders about how
proofs-of-concept (PoCs) are slowing them down In some cases they are just frustrated with how often
they are told ldquoWe need to do a PoCrdquo by a development team in response to a request to begin a new product
or offering development In other cases they are frustrated with how the tools used for PoCs ndash development
kits or Maker-ware devices like Arduino and Raspberry Pi ndash prevent them and their customers from deploying
scalable solutions once the concept is proven

desirable If so at what price Is the business viable These are the tough questions facing new offerings today
Therersquos the rub A PoC does nothing to address user desirability or busi-ness viability A PoC only addresses technology
ldquoYoursquove just renamed the PoC as a prototyperdquo you say But therersquos a big difference between the two
In a PoC the developer is not con-strained by manufacturing costs or user acceptance The issue is simple Can I make this offering work Maker tools are excellent for this This is one of the reasons by the way that when one looks for Maker products most of the suppliers are targeting educational organizations Education is about one example one proof that something works one PoC
A prototype however is the first itera-tion of the new product A prototype is built to a product requirements docu-ment (PRD) and that PRD has manu-facturing supply chain constraints certification constraints user experience needs and cost expectations One-off tools like Arduino or Raspberry Pi were not designed for these constraints So when a product development is started with a PoC and uses Maker tools the

development process comes to halt after the proof There is no certification path no manufacturing supply chain and no ability to meet user experience constraints ndash par-ticularly where form factor is critical
The IoT has put a slightly different spin on the product development process because of the addition of an ongoing user-supported experience Business models depend upon ongoing revenue so innovators have to address this need during development This is the role of the pilot The pilot puts the product in a sales-ready format into the hands of enough users in context to measure their adoption of sustained use of and willingness to pay for the product Figure 2 outlines the roles of PoCs prototypes and pilots in the product development process The fastest progression for product development for the IoT is PoC rarr Prototype(s) rarr Pilot rarr Product

Sometimes small changes make a big difference Switching your organizationrsquos thinking from proof-of-concept to proof-of-innovation is one of those changes
Three ways to tell you are wasting time with a PoC1 Examples of the offering exist in
either the lab or with competitors ndash Note that the example can be in other applications or markets For example self-driving cars moved immediately to prototypes because auto-piloted airplanes and drones provided the proof that the technology works for autonomous vehicle operations
2 No new hardware is needed ndash If your new offering depends upon the integration or is a software appli-cation of data then you are not doing a PoC Your technology is feasible it just may not be desirable or viable
3 None of the questions to be answered by the PoC effort involve the laws of physics
Three things that make a good pilot1 You have a sales-ready user
experience ndash An IoT pilot not only has to measure user adoption it also has to measure churn Too much churn will defeat the business To measure these characteristics with confidence across a statistically significant number of users the product must have a sales-ready user experience
2 The product is re-certification tested ndash Since the pilot product is not in fact sold it does not have to be marked UL CE FCC etc But it better be ready to mark As soon as the pilot validates adoption churn and price the sales team is going want to see products shipping so you canrsquot go back and do another spin Be ready
3 The supply chain is solid and meets cost expectations ndash The pilot will measure user adoption at price so if it is successful production will begin Production will have to deliver on that price so the supply chain must be solid
David Smith is Vice President of Engineering and Innovation at MultiTech Systems
They also know that they have to help product development teams move through prototyping to pilots quickly The prototypes can get early user feedback and allow forecasts of costs But the sweet spot of innovation is where users want the new product and are willing to pay a price that sustains the business In the IoT sustaining the business is complicated by recurring expense and revenue This is where the pilot comes in The pilot validates the product and the business model
PoCs are not bad but they are not often necessary in business today Perhaps the best example of this is a place where PoCs are the lifeblood of the company Google X Their mission is to make moon shots learn from failure and solve grand problems with approaches no one else is willing to try If your mission is similar then PoCs are great If you are under pressure to grow and generate new forms of revenue using digital technology beware the PoC

22 IoT Design Guide 2016 wwwiotdesignembedded-computingcom
As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues its rapid pace of growth therersquos been no shortage of inflated
expectations Platforms promising to ease the development deployment and management of IoT systems are
now counted in the hundreds You might believe that all you have to do is pick a platform you like the best from
the vendor you trust the most and go build your IoT system Well the story is not so simple
In reality nearly all of the IoT platforms available are designed to only support cloud-centric architectures These platforms centralize the ldquointelligencerdquo in the cloud and require data to be conveyed from the edge to do anything useful with it Considering the success of this cloud-centric model in IT (and in some IoT applications like fleet management) you may wonder whatrsquos the big deal
Simply put cloud-centric architectures arenrsquot applicable to a large class of IoT applications Most notably cloud-centric architectures fall short in supporting Industrial IoT (IIoT) sys-tems and struggle with more demanding Consumer IoT (CIoT) applications
The scariest part is that the situation will only get worse with the predicted increase in the number of connected things But there are some things more fundamental limiting cloud-centric architecturesrsquo applicability for IoT systems
Connectivity ndash Cloud-centric architectures assume that sufficient connectivity exists from the things to the cloud This is necessary for collecting the data from the edge and for pushing insight or control actions from the cloud to the edge Yet connectivity
is hard to guarantee for several IoTIIoT applications such as smart autonomous consumer and agricultural vehicles As you can imagine connectivity may be taken for granted in metropolitan areas but not so much in rural areas
Bandwidth ndash Cloud-centric computing assumes that sufficient bandwidth exists to ingest the data from the edge into the data center The challenge here is that several IIoT applications produce incredible volumes of data For instance a factory can easily produce a terabyte of data per day and these numbers will only grow with the continued digitalization of factories
Latency ndash Therersquos a large class of IIoT systems for which the latency required to send data to the cloud make decisions and eventually send data toward the edge to act on these decisions may be completely incompatible with the dynamics of the underlying system A key difference between IT and IoTIIoT is that the latter deals with physical entities As such the reaction time must be compatible with the dynamics of the physical entity or process with which the application interacts Failing to react with the proper latency can lead to system instability infrastructure damage or even put human operators at risk
Cloud
The IoT needs fog computingBy Angelo Corsaro
wwwiotdesignembedded-computingcom IoT Design Guide 2016 23
Cost ndash In the age of smartphones and very cheap data plans most people assume that the cost of connectivity is negligible The reality is quite different in IIoT due to either bandwidth requirements or connectivity points While in consumer applications the individual person (the consumer) pays for connectivity in most IoTIIoT applications (such as smart grids) itrsquos the operator who foots the bill As a result cost is usually carefully accounted for as it has an impact on operating expense and consequently on operational costs and margins
Security ndash Finally even assuming that all the above-listed issues are addressed a large class of IoTIIoT applications are not comfortable with or are incapable due to regulation of pushing their data to a cloud
Unless you can guarantee that the connectivity bandwidth latency cost and security requirements of your application are compatible with a cloud-centric architecture you need a dif-ferent paradigm and 999 percent of the IoT platforms avail-able on the market are not of much use
Fog computing is emerging as the main paradigm to address the connectivity bandwidth latency cost and security chal-lenges imposed by cloud-centric architectures The main idea behind fog computing is to provide elastic compute storage and communication close to the things so that data neednrsquot be sent all the way to the cloud or at least not all data and not all the time And the infrastructure is designed ground-up to deal with cyber- physical systems (CPS) as opposed to IT systems In other words the infrastructure is designed to consider the constraints imposed by the interactions with the physical world in terms of latency determinism load balancing and fault-tolerance
Defining fog computingTwo trends that are at the core of the IIoT revolution are soft-warization and digital twins
Softwarization is a trend that is disrupting several industries Its mantra is the replacement of specialized hardware implementa-tions such as a programmable logic controller (PLC) on an indus-trial floor with software running in a virtualized environment
Digital twins as the name hints are a digital representation (computerized model) of a physical entity (such as a compressor or a turbine) that is animated through the live data coming from its physical brother or sister Digital twins have several applications such as monitoring diagnostics and prognostics Additionally Digital twins provide useful insights to RampD teams for improving next-generation designs as well as continuously ameliorating the fidelity of their models
As softwarization transforms specialized hardware into soft-ware it creates an opportunity for convergence and consolida-tion If we take as an example soft PLCs (ie softwarized PLCs) all of a sudden they can be deployed on commodity hardware in a virtualized environment and decoupled from the IO logic that can remain closer to the source of data As a side note
the general idea of softwarization applied to the factory floor is often referred to as software-defined machines or software-defined automation
As a result of softwarization and digital twins there is an opportunity for modernizing the factory floor consolidating its hardware and improving availability productivity manage-ability resilience to failure and innovation agility In essence as a result of softwarization there is the opportunity to manage these systems as a data center As softwarization is a trend that is impacting a large class of industries it is worth highlighting that the transformations described above along with its ben-efits are not just limited to industrial automation But there is a catch the large majority of these systems whether in the industrial transportation or medical domains are subject to the performance constraints previously discussed
These systems interact with the physical world and as such they need to react at the pace imposed by the physical entity with which they interact As a consequence while traditional cloud infrastructure would be functionally perfect to address these use cases it turns out to be inadequate as it is typi-cally not designed with these non-functional requirements in mind and is often too heavyweight Cloud infrastructures were designed for IT systems in which a delay in the response time may create a bored or upset customer but will not cause a robot arm to smash against a wall another machine or worse
Now it should be clear that fog computing is not just about applying distributed computing to the edge Fog computing is about providing an infrastructure that while virtualizing elastic compute storage and communication is able to address the non-functional properties characteristic of these domains
Fog computing makes it possible to provision and manage softwarized hardware (eg a soft PLC digital twins analytics and anything else that may need to run on the system) while ensuring the proper non-functional requirements and bringing all the benefits listed above in terms of convergence manage-ability availability agility and efficiency improvement
Fog computing provides a flexible infrastructure to provision deploy monitor and manage software at the edge This should clarify how just deploying some logic on an edge gateway isnrsquot fog computing and neither is fog computing traditional dis-tributed computing

Fluid computing Unifying cloud fog and mist computingWhat is mist computing As the name implies mist is closer to the ground than fog which in turn is closer to the ground than the cloud But beside the meteorological analogies what does this really mean As yoursquove probably guessed this means that mist computing is about bringing elastic compute storage and communication directly onto the things Thus if we continue with the meteorological analogy cloud infrastructure is high in the data center fog infrastructure is between the things and the cloud and mist infrastructure is simply the things
The goals of mist computing essentially are two
1 Enabling resource harvesting by exploiting the computation storage and communication capabilities available on the things
2 Allowing arbitrary computations to be provisioned deployed managed and monitored on the things
As you can imagine things in IoT applications are extremely heterogeneous in terms of platforms resources and con-nectivity Thus the main challenge for mist infrastructures is to be sufficiently lightweight to be able to establish a fabric that virtualizes compute storage and communication without consuming too many resources
If we look from a distance at a generic IoTIIoT system we will realize that from an infrastructural perspective we will have to deal with data centers that are in a public or private cloud edge infrastructure and the actual things IoTIIoT systems will need to exploit resources that span these three tiers and provi-sion deploy monitor and manage applications and services across the tiers On the other hand if we look at the techno-logical landscape there is a complete fragmentation between the technologies used for cloud computing fog computing and the emerging mist computing This fragmentation makes it difficult to establish a unified end-to-end perspective of the system and it makes it practically impossible to treat the system as a uniform and virtualized compute storage and communication fabric
At this point the question is ldquoWhat can we do about itrdquo
The first step toward addressing a problem is recognizing it To this end that means raising awareness about the challenges that this fragmentation may induce The second step is to establish a vision of how the problem can be solved so that the industry can internalize it and eventually address it
Letrsquos focus for a moment on what would make sense for the user of an IoTIIoT platform as opposed to the technical details of whether cloud fog or mist is the right answer
From a high-level perspective why should a designer of an IoTIIoT application care whether he or she will be using cloud fog or mist computing paradigms The only thing that really matters is that the platform provides a way to provision
manage and monitor applications in such a way that appli-cations can meet their functional and non-functional require-ments The functional and non-functional requirements drive the allocation of applications on things fog or cloud layers ndash but anything else is just a detail isnrsquot it
Fluid computing is an architectural principle based on the abstraction of the topological details of the computational infrastructure Fluid architectures provide an end-to-end fabric that can be used to seamlessly provision deploy manage and monitor applications regardless of whether the underlying resource is provided by the cloud infrastructure the fog infra-structure or by things
Fluid computing unifies under a single abstraction of cloud fog and mist computing In other words cloud fog and mist computing can be seen as application of fluid computing in a specific bounded context
As the IoTIIoT market evolves expect a convergence of cloud fog and mist computing platforms toward a fluid computing platform This convergence will be necessary if not essential to accelerate the adoption of IoT

CIA and TPM to secure the IoTBy Guenther Fischer
CIA TPM and IoT You might ask what these three acronyms have in common and how they relate to each other
To make a long story short it is all about security trust and reliability
The abbreviation CIA in this context does not mean the Central Intelligence Agency It is an abbreviation for Confidentiality Integrity and Authenticity The so-called CIA principle is a simple but widely used security model covering three key tenets that should be guaranteed by all secure systems
Confidentiality is intended in the sense of hiding information from people not authorized to view it It is perhaps the most obvious aspect of the CIA model when it comes to security At the same time it is also the one most under attack Cryptographic symmetric and asymmetric encryption methods are examples of means to ensure confidentiality when transmitting data from one computer system to another
Integrity on the other hand represents the certainty that data is accurate and not changed on its journey from the original sender to the intended receiver A common security attack often called a man-in-the-middle attack intercepts data and makes changes to it before passing it on to the intended receiver Cryptographic digital signature methods are one way to attest the integrity of code and data
In addition authenticity is needed to address the concern about genuine information In other words you want to make sure the information you receive actually comes from the source that claims to be its genuine origin Cryptographic digital certificates are used to prove the authenticity of the issuer
Now that we understand why CIA is important for a secure system letrsquos move to the third acronym IoT
After many years of being an overhyped marketing term the so-called Internet of Things (IoT) is starting to become mature and real Mark Weiser created the term ldquoubiquitous computingrdquo first in his famous Scientific American article ldquoThe Computer for the 21st Centuryrdquo pub lished September 1991 His thinking was so ahead of his time that it seemed like science fiction to most of his readers In 2016 his vision has become reality Ubiquitous computing (or ubicomp for short) became todayrsquos ndash perhaps overhyped ndash IoT
Weiser started his article ldquoThe most profound technologies are those that disappear They weave themselves into the fabric of

everyday life until they are indistinguishable from itrdquo He pre-dicted that computing devices would become commonplace and part of all aspects of life and he was right Just consider for example the consumer gadgets like fitness bands smart watches smart phones or navigation systems that send and receive data all day long Or consider the home which is con-nected to a power grid where a smart meter allows the energy provider to effectively calculate the resources needed to cover the demand of all households Interconnected computing devices are everywhere nowadays
Shifting focus to industrial applications todayrsquos business IoT applications are developed together with devices and services coming from various sectors of industry information tech-nology automation and production technology aerospace maritime and naval systems railways car manufacturers and their suppliers energy providers agricultural medical tech-nology and building automation All of those share character-istics including long life in the field reliability and robustness in harsh environments and reliable long-term availability
IoT systems rely on public networks but public networks are not secure environments While IoT creates new capabilities and services allows greater efficiencies increases flexibility and enables the customization of single production units it also opens up previously closed systems and allows attackers to get access to those systems from the outside world
Attackers often use reverse engineering techniques to iden-tify software vulnerabilities which they can exploit to create counterfeit products steal sensitive data or tamper with the device for sabotage and espionage purposes This can lead to serious and dangerous hacks as recent attacks on safety-critical automotive aerospace and medical components have shown
This brings us back to the CIA principle we started with The only way to avoid situations like those listed above is to apply

the CIA security model to the world of IoT devices As we have learned CIA is built around cryprograhic operations Todayrsquos modern cryprography leverages standard crypto protocols The Dutch cryptographer Auguste Kerckhoffs stated a maxim in the 19th century that would become known as Kerckhoffsrsquo principle A cryptosystem should be secure even if everything about the system except for the key is public knowledge
I repeat everything is public knowledge except for the key which is needed to encrypt and decrypt the content either directly or in a derived form So how do you store a key in a secure manner This brings me to the second acronym TPM the Trusted Platform Module
In the world of cryptography there is a ton of other acronyms referring to the various protocols and methods that are used to ensure the CIA principle To name just a few of them you have DES AES for symmetric cryptography and RSA ECC for asymmetric cryptography The list of acronyms goes on and on The really important part however is that the algorithms themselves are typically not secret they are publicly available just as Kerckhoffsrsquo principle demands it The only part that really needs to be kept secret is the key itself This sounds simple but it is pretty hard to achieve To keep the key secret you need a secure place like a safe which we will call a secure element to securely store the key A TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is such a secure element and it offers a lot more including the crypto protocols
In a nutshell a TPM is a specialized and dedicated device that offers crypto operations and secure storage for secret keys all in one This allows you to store the key in a secure place and even more importantly it allows the key to stay there so it never leaves its secure location All important crypto operations are done inside of the TPM itself and only the results are exposed This prevents the key from getting compromised In case you want to know why it is important to have this dedicated functionality separated in a dedicated device I recommend you to read the following two articles These should make it obvious how impor-tant it is to have a dedicated secure element like a TPM inside a computing device to make it secure trustable and reliable
So how can incidents like these be prevented Use technology that creates secured code and licenses that can be bound to a secure element in the target system ensuring that the code and the licensed features can only be used on an individual system License creation and deployment can be integrated into existing business processes such as ERP systems or e-commerce platforms This mechanism opens up new business models such as feature-on-demand upselling and time-based or pay-per-use licenses for the IoT and other intelligent devices The result is improved security from attacks malware theft and other malfeasance for code and IP

new possibility for OEMs Unique cryp-tographic keys can be generated for each device during production signed by a CA as part of an offline digital cer-tificate verification process and then loaded into the AWS IoT platform to await a service request from systems containing the corresponding key pairs This process also lays the groundwork for the latest capability in the AWS IoT portfolio Just-In-Time Registration (JITR) announced in August
JITR is somewhat of a turning point for the IoT in that as the term implies devices can automatically connect to and be recognized by the AWS IoT cloud the first time they request service from the platform This type of immediate autonomous onboarding of devices with cloud services is critical given the pro-jected number of IoT connections but is contingent upon the devices connecting being pre-equipped with unique trusted
private keys in order to enable services such as the Use Your Own Certificate API and to prevent impersonation attacks (Figure 2) It also requires that devices be equipped with the correct server configurations and policies to help facilitate the onboarding process which must also be kept secure
FIGURE 2Just-in-time registration (JITR) allows devices to connect with AWS IoT servers the first time they attempt a service connection but requires that the Use Your Own Certificate API be leveraged first to upload device certificates into AWS IoT

The challenge of device manufacturers is to ensure that these keys and poli-cies remain secret and secure from the time a device is manufactured through the onboarding process and even after a product reaches end of life (EOL) Previously this has been attempted through the installation of hardware security modules (HSMs) in secure rooms at factories periodic factory security audits and time box proto-cols that attempt to define an accept-able onboarding period for devices Unfortunately these methods tend to be either expensive or inexact and also donrsquot account for threats that could compromise systems deployed in the field such as physical tampering
Hardware-based elliptic curve cryptography anchors trust in IoT 2016 has also seen significant news from the other side of the IoT technology spectrum as semiconductor vendor Microchip acquired competitor Atmel for approximately $36 billion earlier this year Among other technologies the pur-chase netted Microchip access to Atmelrsquos portfolio of security ICs including elliptic curve cryptography-based (ECC-based) CryptoAuthentication devices such as the ECC508A (Figure 3)
The ECC508A is noteworthy in the framework of AWS IoTrsquos mutual authen-tication Use Your Own Certificate and JITR capabilities in that the elliptic curve
Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) key agreement protocol it employs enables the internal gener-ation and storage of private keys These keys remain protected through the life of the device due to tamper-resistant architectural features of the chip including internally encrypted memory isolated power rails a memory and logic shield internal clock generation and a lack of probe points that protect against real-world threats such as emissions analysis microprobe power cycling and timing attacks This secure storage space can also be used to house pre-configured AWS server policies resulting in a device that contains all of the information needed for digital certificate authentication and onboarding required by JITR
As seen in wolfSSLrsquos wolfCrypt benchmark of an embedded SSLTLS stack running on the ECC508A the hardware-based crypto acceleration of the chip also offloads encryption tasks from a host processor resulting in improved overall system perfor-mance (Figure 4)
ECC508A and AWS IoT The processAs discussed previously private keys are mathematically correlated with the public keys required for the creation of digital certificates Therefore the ECC508A becomes the root of trust for any device that equips it
In the context of a mutually authenticated AWS IoT deployment leveraging the ECC508A Microchip can act as the CA both generating and signing device certifi-cates in parallel as part of the certificate chain verification process for an IoT OEM
The ECC508A is a 2 mm x 3 mm tamper-resistant CryptoAuthentication device based on elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) cryptography algorithms that provide hardware-based cryptographic key generation storage and countermeasures

The OEM would then load the resulting digital certificates into their AWS IoT account through the Use Your Own Certificate API where they would remain until an incoming TLS request from a device containing the partnered ECC508A key pair triggers the JITR process
The procedure from key generation through cloud onboarding requires a one-time setup shown in Figure 5 As keys are generated in a secure Microchip facility and the key management infrastructure is already in place OEMs are able to access robust security and automatic cloud authentication by adding a single component to their bill of materials (BoM)
Dropping anchor on IoT securitySecurity is essential to the continued rollout of IoT in every market and discrete solutions that allow device makers to separate security from business functions and value adds will enable more innovative products in the future An ECC508A evaluation kit is available for interested parties through Microchip and distribu-tors such as DigiKey and Mouser with trials and tutorials of AWS IoT accessible at awsamazoncomiot

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) promises to deliver a step change in efficiency and a leap towards
autonomy for industrial automation and other sectors such as security and surveillance and building management
The prospect of self-monitoring self-managing factories and manufacturing processes is no longer beyond the
distant horizon The ability to remotely identify monitor and control every individual device in a manufacturing
process network with minimal or no human intervention offers opportunities that were beyond comprehension just
a decade ago ndash even in the eyes of engineers working at the very forefront of industrial manufacturing technology
Advances in sensing connectivity and control fuel IIoT designsBy Wiren Perera
The key drivers of the IIoT are more measurement of an expanding number of parameters fast and extensive analysis of and reactions to data and accelerated enhancements to processes Successful IIoT design and management can mean continuously optimized efficiency reduced operating costs and more resilient self-learning processes At the fulcrum of this are a number of semiconductor technolo-gies on offer and in development at some of the worldrsquos top electronic component manufacturers
Vision-based sensing and energy harvestingSensors are at the heart of the IIoT gathering more and more data But to measure more we need to sense more ndash more parameters more accurately and more often Overlaying software on established technologies can bring incremental gains but to make the necessary advances we need to add more parameters with accuracy as each additional parameter can make a system smarter
Sensor technology that measures ldquotraditionalrdquo parameters such as temperature light position level humidity and pressure continues to advance But despite becoming smaller more cost-effective and often embedded each sensor is dedicated and hence limited in its functionality and versatility Vision-based sensing enables a new paradigm Corollary to the concept of ldquoa picture is worth a thousand wordsrdquo once a machine can ldquoseerdquo much more is possible much faster
With vision sensing programmability brings flexibility enabling a single vision system to sense missing or misplaced components and other process vari-ables The trend towards vision-based sensing ndash both still and video ndash will make future systems more intelligent flexible and ultimately more valuable
Current advances in machine vision in many situations can provide better sight than the human eye Coupled with the reduction in risks associated with human error it enables a new degree of adapt-ability and speed for reconfigurable production processes This could be any-thing from optimization based on real-time events to the reconfiguration of a system that may allow multiple products to be made on a single line They only require a simple change from one control

FIGURE 1 ON Semiconductorrsquos Smart Passive Sensor family are wireless energy harvesting sensors that can function autonomously in space-constrained environments
program to the next and the system is ready to run This has obvious cost time and labor benefits and reduces the risks associated with error
However the distributed nature of the IIoT and the requirement to place mul-tiple sensors at various points of mea-surement presents another challenge the reliable delivery of power
Successful sensors especially those utilized in IIoT designs have four basic attributes they need to be self-pow-ered collect data broadcast their status and have the ability to connect Wireless sensors with the ability to harvest energy (ie self-powered) are essential if the IIoT is to advance and realize its potential Wireless energy harvesting solutions such as ON Semiconductorrsquos Smart Passive Sensors are an example of technology that can meet these require-ments (Figure 1) These devices can be deployed in hard-to-access space- constrained environments with no direct power source allowing them to function autonomously
Instant access to dataSensors gather data and then post-pro-cessing and analytics generate valuable information along with the ability to control factories and processes
The processing of large sustained flows of data associated with real-time sensing for the IIoT is reliant on the cloud This analysis requires platforms that can store large data sets across distributed clus-ters often combining and processing data from many geographically dis-persed sources In global organizations for example a problem in a Chinese smart factory can trigger an almost in- stantaneous process improvement in a similar factory located somewhere else in the world
Advances in secure communications and authentication also allow mobile devices to connect to these networks bringing opportunities for instantaneous access to information Flexible access can then drive value into the business and its relationships with the outside world In
fact this IToperational technology (OT) integration as shown in Figure 2 has the potential to bring the greatest benefits to a broad range of industrial automation applications
Combining sensing connectivity and actuationMany industrial control systems are very sophisticated and require accurate or careful often rapid positioning This could mean anything from the speed and direction of a cooling fan to a motor or servo that adjusts a valve position or a stepper motor for linear or angular positioning in a precision task Alongside the rapid development of sensing for the IIoT the actuators and their controllers that provide the physical reac-tions to gathered analyzed data are seeing similar advancements
However integrated manufacturing processes require a broad range of sensing tech-nologies be combined with connectivity and actuation which creates design and expertise challenges Fully integrated hardware and software development platforms that combine these elements are crucial to help speed and ease the customization of specific functions for adoption into end products Modularity makes these platforms extensible to new IoTIIoT functions and devices that are based on new advances allowing more rapid adoption (Figure 3 page 14) Open-source support is also impor-tant since a broad ecosystem and interoperability are crucial for the IoTrsquos success
FIGURE 2 ITOT integration will yield benefits to industrial automation companies through the concatenation of distributed personnel and assets

Sensors data processing and actuators are all significant building blocks of an IIoT application However without a means to communicate share data and transmit receive and execute instructions the IIoT cannot function
Considering the IIoTrsquos unique requirements not all standards and protocols are satis-factory The technologies suitable for smartphone personal area networks (PANs) or single-supplier standards are unlikely to be successful Instead itrsquos important for IIoT
platforms to demonstrate flexibility by supporting a broad array of standards including Thread SIGFOX EnOcean M-Bus KNX ZigBee and proprietary protocols The adoption of a software-defined radio (SDR) approach allows a single platform to support multiple pro-tocols which will be a requirement for platforms designed support multiple applications
ZigBee and Thread are complementary 802154 standards and a liaison relationship between the two industry organizations should help drive broad adoption of these protocols within smart home applications Thread is an IP-based (IPv6) networking protocol built on open standards for low-power mesh networks that can easily and securely connect hundreds of devices to each other and directly to the cloud Security and interoperability are two of Threadrsquos key value-added capabilities
Conversely SIGFOX enables wide-area networks (WANs) that provide relatively low bandwidth communications with fixed or mobile smart objects or sensors deployed over large areas Example applications for this protocol include the nationwide tracking of shipping containers or vehicles and communication with geographically spread assets such as smart-city equipment or oil pumps and pipelines
Technology convergence for the IIoTAt the core of achieving the IIoTrsquos true potential will be the effective interplay and connection of sensing computing and control technologies in robust energy-efficient implementations Every facet of technology is evolving towards this goal with both discrete solutions and integrated development platforms that are enabling embedded and IoT design engineers to transform yester-dayrsquos vision of automated self- managing industry into todayrsquos reality

IoT developers often consider faster time-to-market and lower product maintenance costs when deploying firmware update mechanisms as the capability allows them to stage feature roll-outs enabledisable features or functionality on devices in the field fix firmware bugs after a product has been released reduce the need for expensive technical support and enable better overall end user experiences However if proper security measures are not in place this feature may be misused and the consequences of a successful exploitation can be disastrous ranging from intellectual property (IP) theft and product cloning all the way to unauthor-ized control of the deployed system For example a successful exploitation of firmware update mechanisms that do not support verifying a new firmware imagersquos authenticity in a hospital drug pump can lead to a hacker tampering with the dos-ages of drugs delivered to patients
Firmware updates and their vulnerabilitiesFigure 1 shows a typical firmware update process The steps include
1 The product manufacturer creates and loads an initial firmware image into the device in a trusted environment
2 The product is deployed with the initial firmware into the field
3 When a firmware update is required the product manufacturer creates a new firmware image
4 The manufacturer sends the new firmware image to the end usertechnician or to the product directly through an untrusted communication channel
5 The new firmware is loaded onto the device in the field
In Figure 1 potential security threats are apparent during the ldquotransportrdquo phase when new firmware is transferred via an untrusted communication channel or during the ldquofirmware loadingrdquo phase when the new firmware is downloaded onto the device in the field
The new firmware image being down-loaded to the device corresponds to the IP of the product manufacturer and the target asset Threats to this asset include
1 Reverse engineering of the firmware binary image into assembly or a higher level engineering language to analyze its functionality and contents
2 Product cloning where a firmware image from the product manufacturer is loaded onto a device that is not authorized
3 Alteration of the firmware distributed by the product manufacturer
4 Loading an unauthorized firmware image onto the device which may correspond to an older firmware version from the product manufacturer with known bugs or code created by an unauthorized party or firmware not intended for the specific device (firmware downgrading)
5 Interrupting the firmware update process such that the firmware is only partially updated resulting in a device being unavailable for service
It is evident that the aforementioned threats can have disastrous conse-quences for the product manufacturer service provider and end user thus indi-cating an intense need for embedded designers to strongly consider measures that increase the overall security of the firmware update mechanism

Secure firmware update considerations for ultra-low power MCUsBy Bhargavi Nisarga and Luis Reynoso
16 IoT Design Guide 2016 wwwiotdesignembedded-computingcom
In-field firmware updates are an increasingly
popular feature in microcontroller-based
(MCU-based) applications These updates
enable new firmware images to be downloaded
onto a devicersquos memory providing an effective way
for product manufacturers to offer services and support to products that are already deployed in the
field The Internet of Things (IoT) era is driving increased connectivity in the embedded world making
this one of the most crucial features for todayrsquos connected products ndash so long as they are secure
Secure firmware update considerations for design engineersFigure 2 shows an example representation of network-connected systems In this case the new firmware image is transferred either from the product manufacturer
FIGURE 2A secure firmware update includes security measures dictated by the interface protocols used for network communications as well as application-level security that ensures firmware images are secured before data enters the network
FIGURE 1 Shown here is a typical firmware update process
(eg a new feature roll-out or firmware bug fix) or the service provider (eg to enabledisable features or services in a product) to the end nodes over local or wide area networks (LANsWANs) and may involve authentication from end user applications (eg via mobile devices and web applications) to per-form the firmware update
Embedded systems engineers designing firmware update capabilities for IoT sys-tems need to not only understand the assets that need to be protected and the potential threats but also the capa-bilities and limitations of their system especially as they pertain to cost per-formance or power consumption in constrained systems As a starting point an effective security solution that incor-porates the right combination of crypto-graphic algorithms and protocol-level measures must be considered
Cryptographic algorithms provide a means of protecting the privacy of con-tent while ensuring its authenticity and integrity Not all cryptographic algo-rithms are the same but they are based on four cryptographic primitives that handle one or more components of the con-fidentiality integrity and authenticity (CIA) triad These primitives are
1 Encryption and decryption Encryption is the process by which data (plaintext) is transformed into something random and meaningless (ciphertext) while decryption performs the opposite job These primitives provide both confidentiality and authenticity and are used to prevent the reverse engineering of firmware
2 One-way functions Functions such as hash are mathematical algorithms that are easy to calculate in one direction but difficult in the other They are used to obtain a digital ldquofingerprintrdquo that ensures the integrity of firmware before it is transported into the field

3 Digital signatures Used to detect if a message was altered after it was signed thus providing not only integrity but also authentication These make use of public-key cryptography to generate a signature that can only be properly decrypted using the manufacturerrsquos public key
4 Message authentication code (MAC) Similar to a digital signature except that it uses symmetric keys to encrypt and decrypt a hash generated by the manufacturer If the hash value decrypted by the receiver matches the hash value calculated for the message then the message is valid In this way MACs provide both authenticity and integrity
Some factors that influence the selection of cryptographic algorithms include performance requirements the security needs of the system memory footprint energy consumption and reliability and acceptance of the algorithm by the security
community (such as organizations like the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST))
In addition to cryptographic algorithms protocol-level measures against threats such as firmware downgrading should be considered As mentioned previ-ously firmware downgrading is an attack in which an older defective firm-ware image (encrypted or not) is re-sent to a device in order to revert it to a vul-nerable state A version check of both the firmware and keys can ensure that only new versions are programmed during an update
An attacker can also interrupt a firmware update process using several methods (power loss physical connection failure bits flipped during transmission etc) This can lead to a device executing an incomplete or invalid firmware image rendering it useless or in a compromised state In order to address this scenario firmware update mechanisms need to ensure that an incomplete or corrupted image is not executed and if neces-sary should revert the system to a valid previously used image
Cryptographic bootloaders for connected embedded systemsFirmware updates are typically handled by the device bootloader A bootloader is a piece of code that resides on device memory and has the ability to reprogram the application memory space However finding or creating an embedded boot-loader with the security required for network-connected systems can be challenging For example a system may need the ability to update cryptographic keys so cryptographic functions and a bootloader protocol should support upgrading keys and increased network security during the firmware update pro-cess The bootloader protocol should also accommodate verifying firmware update versions and packet tracking to check if all packets of a specific firmware update image were received
As discussed the selection of a crypto-graphic algorithm is critical because it not only sets the level of security of the sys- tem but it also impacts its performance

Crypto-Bootloader solution imple-mented on MSP430FR5969 devices encapsulates most of the security fea-tures and considerations outlined here (Figure 3)
Securing firmware for the Internet of ThingsIn summary increasingly network embedded products are creating the potential for advanced security threats making in-field firmware updates more vulnerable to remote attacks and exploitations Therefore it is important for embedded designers to consider securing their firmware update mecha-nisms through solutions that provide the right level of security while balancing the cost power and performance con-straints of IoT products

memory footprint and power consump-tion With this in mind AES-CCM repre-sents an optimal solution for embedded bootloaders AES-CCM is a cryptographic bootloader (Crypto-Bootloader) built on two cryptographic primitives AES Counter Mode (AES-CTR) for encryp-tion and cipher block chaining message
authentication code (CBC-MAC) for integrity and authenticity verification Due to the low overhead provided by AES-CCM it provides a perfect balance between increased security and low memory footprint high throughput and efficient power consumption
The selection of an MCU implementing the bootloader should not be over-looked either Designers should con-sider MCUs with features like hardware encryption engines a memory protec-tion unit (MPU) low-power peripherals and memory technologies that allow fast readwrite cycles for increased throughput The MSP430FR5969 MCU from Texas Instruments is an example of such an MCU that integrates an AES-256 co-processor to accelerate encryption algorithms MPU and MPU-IP encap-sulation (MPU-IPE) modules to enable increased protection and encapsulation of memory regions as well as up to 64 KB of FRAM memory for high performance and ultra-low power consumption The
MSP430FR5969 MCUs integrate a Crypto-Bootloader as well as MPUMPU-IPE modules and an AES-256 security co-processor

Herersquos the thing The IoT doesnrsquot need PoCs
I made this statement the other day in a product development team meeting and received looks of shock and disbelief The company with whom I was working has customers asking for help solving a specific problem and we had a multi-disciplinary team reviewing the architecture for a solution The looks I got said ldquoHow can we begin a product development without a PoCrdquo The answer is easy when you consider the definition of a PoC
According to Wikipedia ldquoA proof of concept is a realization of a certain method or idea to demonstrate its feasibility or a demonstration in principle whose purpose is to verify that some concept or theory has the potential of being used A proof of concept is usually small and may or may not be completerdquo
ldquoFeasibilityrdquo is the key word here Feasibility is the role of technology in the Innovation Venn diagram (Figure 1) Is the product technically feasible Can we even make innovation function For the most part after nearly 15 cycles of Moorersquos law and two generations of the Internet this means ldquoDoes the product violate the laws of physicsrdquo
Today particularly in the IoT ecosystem anything is feasible Further one could argue that if the product is a pure software or Internet play it is by definition feasible
The harder questions for new prod-ucts today are the other two parts of the Innovation Venn Is the product
Gateway
I have heard complaints from several Internet of Things (IoT) sales and business leaders about how
proofs-of-concept (PoCs) are slowing them down In some cases they are just frustrated with how often
they are told ldquoWe need to do a PoCrdquo by a development team in response to a request to begin a new product
or offering development In other cases they are frustrated with how the tools used for PoCs ndash development
kits or Maker-ware devices like Arduino and Raspberry Pi ndash prevent them and their customers from deploying
scalable solutions once the concept is proven

desirable If so at what price Is the business viable These are the tough questions facing new offerings today
Therersquos the rub A PoC does nothing to address user desirability or busi-ness viability A PoC only addresses technology
ldquoYoursquove just renamed the PoC as a prototyperdquo you say But therersquos a big difference between the two
In a PoC the developer is not con-strained by manufacturing costs or user acceptance The issue is simple Can I make this offering work Maker tools are excellent for this This is one of the reasons by the way that when one looks for Maker products most of the suppliers are targeting educational organizations Education is about one example one proof that something works one PoC
A prototype however is the first itera-tion of the new product A prototype is built to a product requirements docu-ment (PRD) and that PRD has manu-facturing supply chain constraints certification constraints user experience needs and cost expectations One-off tools like Arduino or Raspberry Pi were not designed for these constraints So when a product development is started with a PoC and uses Maker tools the

development process comes to halt after the proof There is no certification path no manufacturing supply chain and no ability to meet user experience constraints ndash par-ticularly where form factor is critical
The IoT has put a slightly different spin on the product development process because of the addition of an ongoing user-supported experience Business models depend upon ongoing revenue so innovators have to address this need during development This is the role of the pilot The pilot puts the product in a sales-ready format into the hands of enough users in context to measure their adoption of sustained use of and willingness to pay for the product Figure 2 outlines the roles of PoCs prototypes and pilots in the product development process The fastest progression for product development for the IoT is PoC rarr Prototype(s) rarr Pilot rarr Product
The good news is that good suppliers of the IoT technology stack know that their offerings have to work in production have to scale and have to pass rigorous testing

Sometimes small changes make a big difference Switching your organizationrsquos thinking from proof-of-concept to proof-of-innovation is one of those changes
Three ways to tell you are wasting time with a PoC1 Examples of the offering exist in
either the lab or with competitors ndash Note that the example can be in other applications or markets For example self-driving cars moved immediately to prototypes because auto-piloted airplanes and drones provided the proof that the technology works for autonomous vehicle operations
2 No new hardware is needed ndash If your new offering depends upon the integration or is a software appli-cation of data then you are not doing a PoC Your technology is feasible it just may not be desirable or viable
3 None of the questions to be answered by the PoC effort involve the laws of physics
Three things that make a good pilot1 You have a sales-ready user
experience ndash An IoT pilot not only has to measure user adoption it also has to measure churn Too much churn will defeat the business To measure these characteristics with confidence across a statistically significant number of users the product must have a sales-ready user experience
2 The product is re-certification tested ndash Since the pilot product is not in fact sold it does not have to be marked UL CE FCC etc But it better be ready to mark As soon as the pilot validates adoption churn and price the sales team is going want to see products shipping so you canrsquot go back and do another spin Be ready
3 The supply chain is solid and meets cost expectations ndash The pilot will measure user adoption at price so if it is successful production will begin Production will have to deliver on that price so the supply chain must be solid
David Smith is Vice President of Engineering and Innovation at MultiTech Systems
They also know that they have to help product development teams move through prototyping to pilots quickly The prototypes can get early user feedback and allow forecasts of costs But the sweet spot of innovation is where users want the new product and are willing to pay a price that sustains the business In the IoT sustaining the business is complicated by recurring expense and revenue This is where the pilot comes in The pilot validates the product and the business model
PoCs are not bad but they are not often necessary in business today Perhaps the best example of this is a place where PoCs are the lifeblood of the company Google X Their mission is to make moon shots learn from failure and solve grand problems with approaches no one else is willing to try If your mission is similar then PoCs are great If you are under pressure to grow and generate new forms of revenue using digital technology beware the PoC

As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues its rapid pace of growth therersquos been no shortage of inflated
expectations Platforms promising to ease the development deployment and management of IoT systems are
now counted in the hundreds You might believe that all you have to do is pick a platform you like the best from
the vendor you trust the most and go build your IoT system Well the story is not so simple
In reality nearly all of the IoT platforms available are designed to only support cloud-centric architectures These platforms centralize the ldquointelligencerdquo in the cloud and require data to be conveyed from the edge to do anything useful with it Considering the success of this cloud-centric model in IT (and in some IoT applications like fleet management) you may wonder whatrsquos the big deal
Simply put cloud-centric architectures arenrsquot applicable to a large class of IoT applications Most notably cloud-centric architectures fall short in supporting Industrial IoT (IIoT) sys-tems and struggle with more demanding Consumer IoT (CIoT) applications
The scariest part is that the situation will only get worse with the predicted increase in the number of connected things But there are some things more fundamental limiting cloud-centric architecturesrsquo applicability for IoT systems
Connectivity ndash Cloud-centric architectures assume that sufficient connectivity exists from the things to the cloud This is necessary for collecting the data from the edge and for pushing insight or control actions from the cloud to the edge Yet connectivity
is hard to guarantee for several IoTIIoT applications such as smart autonomous consumer and agricultural vehicles As you can imagine connectivity may be taken for granted in metropolitan areas but not so much in rural areas
Bandwidth ndash Cloud-centric computing assumes that sufficient bandwidth exists to ingest the data from the edge into the data center The challenge here is that several IIoT applications produce incredible volumes of data For instance a factory can easily produce a terabyte of data per day and these numbers will only grow with the continued digitalization of factories
Latency ndash Therersquos a large class of IIoT systems for which the latency required to send data to the cloud make decisions and eventually send data toward the edge to act on these decisions may be completely incompatible with the dynamics of the underlying system A key difference between IT and IoTIIoT is that the latter deals with physical entities As such the reaction time must be compatible with the dynamics of the physical entity or process with which the application interacts Failing to react with the proper latency can lead to system instability infrastructure damage or even put human operators at risk
Cloud
The IoT needs fog computingBy Angelo Corsaro
wwwiotdesignembedded-computingcom IoT Design Guide 2016 23
Cost ndash In the age of smartphones and very cheap data plans most people assume that the cost of connectivity is negligible The reality is quite different in IIoT due to either bandwidth requirements or connectivity points While in consumer applications the individual person (the consumer) pays for connectivity in most IoTIIoT applications (such as smart grids) itrsquos the operator who foots the bill As a result cost is usually carefully accounted for as it has an impact on operating expense and consequently on operational costs and margins
Security ndash Finally even assuming that all the above-listed issues are addressed a large class of IoTIIoT applications are not comfortable with or are incapable due to regulation of pushing their data to a cloud
Unless you can guarantee that the connectivity bandwidth latency cost and security requirements of your application are compatible with a cloud-centric architecture you need a dif-ferent paradigm and 999 percent of the IoT platforms avail-able on the market are not of much use
Fog computing is emerging as the main paradigm to address the connectivity bandwidth latency cost and security chal-lenges imposed by cloud-centric architectures The main idea behind fog computing is to provide elastic compute storage and communication close to the things so that data neednrsquot be sent all the way to the cloud or at least not all data and not all the time And the infrastructure is designed ground-up to deal with cyber- physical systems (CPS) as opposed to IT systems In other words the infrastructure is designed to consider the constraints imposed by the interactions with the physical world in terms of latency determinism load balancing and fault-tolerance
Defining fog computingTwo trends that are at the core of the IIoT revolution are soft-warization and digital twins
Softwarization is a trend that is disrupting several industries Its mantra is the replacement of specialized hardware implementa-tions such as a programmable logic controller (PLC) on an indus-trial floor with software running in a virtualized environment
Digital twins as the name hints are a digital representation (computerized model) of a physical entity (such as a compressor or a turbine) that is animated through the live data coming from its physical brother or sister Digital twins have several applications such as monitoring diagnostics and prognostics Additionally Digital twins provide useful insights to RampD teams for improving next-generation designs as well as continuously ameliorating the fidelity of their models
As softwarization transforms specialized hardware into soft-ware it creates an opportunity for convergence and consolida-tion If we take as an example soft PLCs (ie softwarized PLCs) all of a sudden they can be deployed on commodity hardware in a virtualized environment and decoupled from the IO logic that can remain closer to the source of data As a side note
the general idea of softwarization applied to the factory floor is often referred to as software-defined machines or software-defined automation
As a result of softwarization and digital twins there is an opportunity for modernizing the factory floor consolidating its hardware and improving availability productivity manage-ability resilience to failure and innovation agility In essence as a result of softwarization there is the opportunity to manage these systems as a data center As softwarization is a trend that is impacting a large class of industries it is worth highlighting that the transformations described above along with its ben-efits are not just limited to industrial automation But there is a catch the large majority of these systems whether in the industrial transportation or medical domains are subject to the performance constraints previously discussed
These systems interact with the physical world and as such they need to react at the pace imposed by the physical entity with which they interact As a consequence while traditional cloud infrastructure would be functionally perfect to address these use cases it turns out to be inadequate as it is typi-cally not designed with these non-functional requirements in mind and is often too heavyweight Cloud infrastructures were designed for IT systems in which a delay in the response time may create a bored or upset customer but will not cause a robot arm to smash against a wall another machine or worse
Now it should be clear that fog computing is not just about applying distributed computing to the edge Fog computing is about providing an infrastructure that while virtualizing elastic compute storage and communication is able to address the non-functional properties characteristic of these domains
Fog computing makes it possible to provision and manage softwarized hardware (eg a soft PLC digital twins analytics and anything else that may need to run on the system) while ensuring the proper non-functional requirements and bringing all the benefits listed above in terms of convergence manage-ability availability agility and efficiency improvement
Fog computing provides a flexible infrastructure to provision deploy monitor and manage software at the edge This should clarify how just deploying some logic on an edge gateway isnrsquot fog computing and neither is fog computing traditional dis-tributed computing

Fluid computing Unifying cloud fog and mist computingWhat is mist computing As the name implies mist is closer to the ground than fog which in turn is closer to the ground than the cloud But beside the meteorological analogies what does this really mean As yoursquove probably guessed this means that mist computing is about bringing elastic compute storage and communication directly onto the things Thus if we continue with the meteorological analogy cloud infrastructure is high in the data center fog infrastructure is between the things and the cloud and mist infrastructure is simply the things
The goals of mist computing essentially are two
1 Enabling resource harvesting by exploiting the computation storage and communication capabilities available on the things
2 Allowing arbitrary computations to be provisioned deployed managed and monitored on the things
As you can imagine things in IoT applications are extremely heterogeneous in terms of platforms resources and con-nectivity Thus the main challenge for mist infrastructures is to be sufficiently lightweight to be able to establish a fabric that virtualizes compute storage and communication without consuming too many resources
If we look from a distance at a generic IoTIIoT system we will realize that from an infrastructural perspective we will have to deal with data centers that are in a public or private cloud edge infrastructure and the actual things IoTIIoT systems will need to exploit resources that span these three tiers and provi-sion deploy monitor and manage applications and services across the tiers On the other hand if we look at the techno-logical landscape there is a complete fragmentation between the technologies used for cloud computing fog computing and the emerging mist computing This fragmentation makes it difficult to establish a unified end-to-end perspective of the system and it makes it practically impossible to treat the system as a uniform and virtualized compute storage and communication fabric
At this point the question is ldquoWhat can we do about itrdquo
The first step toward addressing a problem is recognizing it To this end that means raising awareness about the challenges that this fragmentation may induce The second step is to establish a vision of how the problem can be solved so that the industry can internalize it and eventually address it
Letrsquos focus for a moment on what would make sense for the user of an IoTIIoT platform as opposed to the technical details of whether cloud fog or mist is the right answer
From a high-level perspective why should a designer of an IoTIIoT application care whether he or she will be using cloud fog or mist computing paradigms The only thing that really matters is that the platform provides a way to provision
manage and monitor applications in such a way that appli-cations can meet their functional and non-functional require-ments The functional and non-functional requirements drive the allocation of applications on things fog or cloud layers ndash but anything else is just a detail isnrsquot it
Fluid computing is an architectural principle based on the abstraction of the topological details of the computational infrastructure Fluid architectures provide an end-to-end fabric that can be used to seamlessly provision deploy manage and monitor applications regardless of whether the underlying resource is provided by the cloud infrastructure the fog infra-structure or by things
Fluid computing unifies under a single abstraction of cloud fog and mist computing In other words cloud fog and mist computing can be seen as application of fluid computing in a specific bounded context
As the IoTIIoT market evolves expect a convergence of cloud fog and mist computing platforms toward a fluid computing platform This convergence will be necessary if not essential to accelerate the adoption of IoT

CIA and TPM to secure the IoTBy Guenther Fischer
CIA TPM and IoT You might ask what these three acronyms have in common and how they relate to each other
To make a long story short it is all about security trust and reliability
The abbreviation CIA in this context does not mean the Central Intelligence Agency It is an abbreviation for Confidentiality Integrity and Authenticity The so-called CIA principle is a simple but widely used security model covering three key tenets that should be guaranteed by all secure systems
Confidentiality is intended in the sense of hiding information from people not authorized to view it It is perhaps the most obvious aspect of the CIA model when it comes to security At the same time it is also the one most under attack Cryptographic symmetric and asymmetric encryption methods are examples of means to ensure confidentiality when transmitting data from one computer system to another
Integrity on the other hand represents the certainty that data is accurate and not changed on its journey from the original sender to the intended receiver A common security attack often called a man-in-the-middle attack intercepts data and makes changes to it before passing it on to the intended receiver Cryptographic digital signature methods are one way to attest the integrity of code and data
In addition authenticity is needed to address the concern about genuine information In other words you want to make sure the information you receive actually comes from the source that claims to be its genuine origin Cryptographic digital certificates are used to prove the authenticity of the issuer
Now that we understand why CIA is important for a secure system letrsquos move to the third acronym IoT
After many years of being an overhyped marketing term the so-called Internet of Things (IoT) is starting to become mature and real Mark Weiser created the term ldquoubiquitous computingrdquo first in his famous Scientific American article ldquoThe Computer for the 21st Centuryrdquo pub lished September 1991 His thinking was so ahead of his time that it seemed like science fiction to most of his readers In 2016 his vision has become reality Ubiquitous computing (or ubicomp for short) became todayrsquos ndash perhaps overhyped ndash IoT
Weiser started his article ldquoThe most profound technologies are those that disappear They weave themselves into the fabric of

everyday life until they are indistinguishable from itrdquo He pre-dicted that computing devices would become commonplace and part of all aspects of life and he was right Just consider for example the consumer gadgets like fitness bands smart watches smart phones or navigation systems that send and receive data all day long Or consider the home which is con-nected to a power grid where a smart meter allows the energy provider to effectively calculate the resources needed to cover the demand of all households Interconnected computing devices are everywhere nowadays
Shifting focus to industrial applications todayrsquos business IoT applications are developed together with devices and services coming from various sectors of industry information tech-nology automation and production technology aerospace maritime and naval systems railways car manufacturers and their suppliers energy providers agricultural medical tech-nology and building automation All of those share character-istics including long life in the field reliability and robustness in harsh environments and reliable long-term availability
IoT systems rely on public networks but public networks are not secure environments While IoT creates new capabilities and services allows greater efficiencies increases flexibility and enables the customization of single production units it also opens up previously closed systems and allows attackers to get access to those systems from the outside world
Attackers often use reverse engineering techniques to iden-tify software vulnerabilities which they can exploit to create counterfeit products steal sensitive data or tamper with the device for sabotage and espionage purposes This can lead to serious and dangerous hacks as recent attacks on safety-critical automotive aerospace and medical components have shown
This brings us back to the CIA principle we started with The only way to avoid situations like those listed above is to apply

the CIA security model to the world of IoT devices As we have learned CIA is built around cryprograhic operations Todayrsquos modern cryprography leverages standard crypto protocols The Dutch cryptographer Auguste Kerckhoffs stated a maxim in the 19th century that would become known as Kerckhoffsrsquo principle A cryptosystem should be secure even if everything about the system except for the key is public knowledge
I repeat everything is public knowledge except for the key which is needed to encrypt and decrypt the content either directly or in a derived form So how do you store a key in a secure manner This brings me to the second acronym TPM the Trusted Platform Module
In the world of cryptography there is a ton of other acronyms referring to the various protocols and methods that are used to ensure the CIA principle To name just a few of them you have DES AES for symmetric cryptography and RSA ECC for asymmetric cryptography The list of acronyms goes on and on The really important part however is that the algorithms themselves are typically not secret they are publicly available just as Kerckhoffsrsquo principle demands it The only part that really needs to be kept secret is the key itself This sounds simple but it is pretty hard to achieve To keep the key secret you need a secure place like a safe which we will call a secure element to securely store the key A TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is such a secure element and it offers a lot more including the crypto protocols
In a nutshell a TPM is a specialized and dedicated device that offers crypto operations and secure storage for secret keys all in one This allows you to store the key in a secure place and even more importantly it allows the key to stay there so it never leaves its secure location All important crypto operations are done inside of the TPM itself and only the results are exposed This prevents the key from getting compromised In case you want to know why it is important to have this dedicated functionality separated in a dedicated device I recommend you to read the following two articles These should make it obvious how impor-tant it is to have a dedicated secure element like a TPM inside a computing device to make it secure trustable and reliable
So how can incidents like these be prevented Use technology that creates secured code and licenses that can be bound to a secure element in the target system ensuring that the code and the licensed features can only be used on an individual system License creation and deployment can be integrated into existing business processes such as ERP systems or e-commerce platforms This mechanism opens up new business models such as feature-on-demand upselling and time-based or pay-per-use licenses for the IoT and other intelligent devices The result is improved security from attacks malware theft and other malfeasance for code and IP

The challenge of device manufacturers is to ensure that these keys and poli-cies remain secret and secure from the time a device is manufactured through the onboarding process and even after a product reaches end of life (EOL) Previously this has been attempted through the installation of hardware security modules (HSMs) in secure rooms at factories periodic factory security audits and time box proto-cols that attempt to define an accept-able onboarding period for devices Unfortunately these methods tend to be either expensive or inexact and also donrsquot account for threats that could compromise systems deployed in the field such as physical tampering
Hardware-based elliptic curve cryptography anchors trust in IoT 2016 has also seen significant news from the other side of the IoT technology spectrum as semiconductor vendor Microchip acquired competitor Atmel for approximately $36 billion earlier this year Among other technologies the pur-chase netted Microchip access to Atmelrsquos portfolio of security ICs including elliptic curve cryptography-based (ECC-based) CryptoAuthentication devices such as the ECC508A (Figure 3)
The ECC508A is noteworthy in the framework of AWS IoTrsquos mutual authen-tication Use Your Own Certificate and JITR capabilities in that the elliptic curve
Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) key agreement protocol it employs enables the internal gener-ation and storage of private keys These keys remain protected through the life of the device due to tamper-resistant architectural features of the chip including internally encrypted memory isolated power rails a memory and logic shield internal clock generation and a lack of probe points that protect against real-world threats such as emissions analysis microprobe power cycling and timing attacks This secure storage space can also be used to house pre-configured AWS server policies resulting in a device that contains all of the information needed for digital certificate authentication and onboarding required by JITR
As seen in wolfSSLrsquos wolfCrypt benchmark of an embedded SSLTLS stack running on the ECC508A the hardware-based crypto acceleration of the chip also offloads encryption tasks from a host processor resulting in improved overall system perfor-mance (Figure 4)
ECC508A and AWS IoT The processAs discussed previously private keys are mathematically correlated with the public keys required for the creation of digital certificates Therefore the ECC508A becomes the root of trust for any device that equips it
In the context of a mutually authenticated AWS IoT deployment leveraging the ECC508A Microchip can act as the CA both generating and signing device certifi-cates in parallel as part of the certificate chain verification process for an IoT OEM
The ECC508A is a 2 mm x 3 mm tamper-resistant CryptoAuthentication device based on elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) cryptography algorithms that provide hardware-based cryptographic key generation storage and countermeasures

The OEM would then load the resulting digital certificates into their AWS IoT account through the Use Your Own Certificate API where they would remain until an incoming TLS request from a device containing the partnered ECC508A key pair triggers the JITR process
The procedure from key generation through cloud onboarding requires a one-time setup shown in Figure 5 As keys are generated in a secure Microchip facility and the key management infrastructure is already in place OEMs are able to access robust security and automatic cloud authentication by adding a single component to their bill of materials (BoM)
Dropping anchor on IoT securitySecurity is essential to the continued rollout of IoT in every market and discrete solutions that allow device makers to separate security from business functions and value adds will enable more innovative products in the future An ECC508A evaluation kit is available for interested parties through Microchip and distribu-tors such as DigiKey and Mouser with trials and tutorials of AWS IoT accessible at awsamazoncomiot

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) promises to deliver a step change in efficiency and a leap towards
autonomy for industrial automation and other sectors such as security and surveillance and building management
The prospect of self-monitoring self-managing factories and manufacturing processes is no longer beyond the
distant horizon The ability to remotely identify monitor and control every individual device in a manufacturing
process network with minimal or no human intervention offers opportunities that were beyond comprehension just
a decade ago ndash even in the eyes of engineers working at the very forefront of industrial manufacturing technology
Advances in sensing connectivity and control fuel IIoT designsBy Wiren Perera
The key drivers of the IIoT are more measurement of an expanding number of parameters fast and extensive analysis of and reactions to data and accelerated enhancements to processes Successful IIoT design and management can mean continuously optimized efficiency reduced operating costs and more resilient self-learning processes At the fulcrum of this are a number of semiconductor technolo-gies on offer and in development at some of the worldrsquos top electronic component manufacturers
Vision-based sensing and energy harvestingSensors are at the heart of the IIoT gathering more and more data But to measure more we need to sense more ndash more parameters more accurately and more often Overlaying software on established technologies can bring incremental gains but to make the necessary advances we need to add more parameters with accuracy as each additional parameter can make a system smarter
Sensor technology that measures ldquotraditionalrdquo parameters such as temperature light position level humidity and pressure continues to advance But despite becoming smaller more cost-effective and often embedded each sensor is dedicated and hence limited in its functionality and versatility Vision-based sensing enables a new paradigm Corollary to the concept of ldquoa picture is worth a thousand wordsrdquo once a machine can ldquoseerdquo much more is possible much faster
With vision sensing programmability brings flexibility enabling a single vision system to sense missing or misplaced components and other process vari-ables The trend towards vision-based sensing ndash both still and video ndash will make future systems more intelligent flexible and ultimately more valuable
Current advances in machine vision in many situations can provide better sight than the human eye Coupled with the reduction in risks associated with human error it enables a new degree of adapt-ability and speed for reconfigurable production processes This could be any-thing from optimization based on real-time events to the reconfiguration of a system that may allow multiple products to be made on a single line They only require a simple change from one control

FIGURE 1 ON Semiconductorrsquos Smart Passive Sensor family are wireless energy harvesting sensors that can function autonomously in space-constrained environments
program to the next and the system is ready to run This has obvious cost time and labor benefits and reduces the risks associated with error
However the distributed nature of the IIoT and the requirement to place mul-tiple sensors at various points of mea-surement presents another challenge the reliable delivery of power
Successful sensors especially those utilized in IIoT designs have four basic attributes they need to be self-pow-ered collect data broadcast their status and have the ability to connect Wireless sensors with the ability to harvest energy (ie self-powered) are essential if the IIoT is to advance and realize its potential Wireless energy harvesting solutions such as ON Semiconductorrsquos Smart Passive Sensors are an example of technology that can meet these require-ments (Figure 1) These devices can be deployed in hard-to-access space- constrained environments with no direct power source allowing them to function autonomously
Instant access to dataSensors gather data and then post-pro-cessing and analytics generate valuable information along with the ability to control factories and processes
The processing of large sustained flows of data associated with real-time sensing for the IIoT is reliant on the cloud This analysis requires platforms that can store large data sets across distributed clus-ters often combining and processing data from many geographically dis-persed sources In global organizations for example a problem in a Chinese smart factory can trigger an almost in- stantaneous process improvement in a similar factory located somewhere else in the world
Advances in secure communications and authentication also allow mobile devices to connect to these networks bringing opportunities for instantaneous access to information Flexible access can then drive value into the business and its relationships with the outside world In
fact this IToperational technology (OT) integration as shown in Figure 2 has the potential to bring the greatest benefits to a broad range of industrial automation applications
Combining sensing connectivity and actuationMany industrial control systems are very sophisticated and require accurate or careful often rapid positioning This could mean anything from the speed and direction of a cooling fan to a motor or servo that adjusts a valve position or a stepper motor for linear or angular positioning in a precision task Alongside the rapid development of sensing for the IIoT the actuators and their controllers that provide the physical reac-tions to gathered analyzed data are seeing similar advancements
However integrated manufacturing processes require a broad range of sensing tech-nologies be combined with connectivity and actuation which creates design and expertise challenges Fully integrated hardware and software development platforms that combine these elements are crucial to help speed and ease the customization of specific functions for adoption into end products Modularity makes these platforms extensible to new IoTIIoT functions and devices that are based on new advances allowing more rapid adoption (Figure 3 page 14) Open-source support is also impor-tant since a broad ecosystem and interoperability are crucial for the IoTrsquos success
FIGURE 2 ITOT integration will yield benefits to industrial automation companies through the concatenation of distributed personnel and assets

Sensors data processing and actuators are all significant building blocks of an IIoT application However without a means to communicate share data and transmit receive and execute instructions the IIoT cannot function
Considering the IIoTrsquos unique requirements not all standards and protocols are satis-factory The technologies suitable for smartphone personal area networks (PANs) or single-supplier standards are unlikely to be successful Instead itrsquos important for IIoT
platforms to demonstrate flexibility by supporting a broad array of standards including Thread SIGFOX EnOcean M-Bus KNX ZigBee and proprietary protocols The adoption of a software-defined radio (SDR) approach allows a single platform to support multiple pro-tocols which will be a requirement for platforms designed support multiple applications
ZigBee and Thread are complementary 802154 standards and a liaison relationship between the two industry organizations should help drive broad adoption of these protocols within smart home applications Thread is an IP-based (IPv6) networking protocol built on open standards for low-power mesh networks that can easily and securely connect hundreds of devices to each other and directly to the cloud Security and interoperability are two of Threadrsquos key value-added capabilities
Conversely SIGFOX enables wide-area networks (WANs) that provide relatively low bandwidth communications with fixed or mobile smart objects or sensors deployed over large areas Example applications for this protocol include the nationwide tracking of shipping containers or vehicles and communication with geographically spread assets such as smart-city equipment or oil pumps and pipelines
Technology convergence for the IIoTAt the core of achieving the IIoTrsquos true potential will be the effective interplay and connection of sensing computing and control technologies in robust energy-efficient implementations Every facet of technology is evolving towards this goal with both discrete solutions and integrated development platforms that are enabling embedded and IoT design engineers to transform yester-dayrsquos vision of automated self- managing industry into todayrsquos reality

IoT developers often consider faster time-to-market and lower product maintenance costs when deploying firmware update mechanisms as the capability allows them to stage feature roll-outs enabledisable features or functionality on devices in the field fix firmware bugs after a product has been released reduce the need for expensive technical support and enable better overall end user experiences However if proper security measures are not in place this feature may be misused and the consequences of a successful exploitation can be disastrous ranging from intellectual property (IP) theft and product cloning all the way to unauthor-ized control of the deployed system For example a successful exploitation of firmware update mechanisms that do not support verifying a new firmware imagersquos authenticity in a hospital drug pump can lead to a hacker tampering with the dos-ages of drugs delivered to patients
Firmware updates and their vulnerabilitiesFigure 1 shows a typical firmware update process The steps include
1 The product manufacturer creates and loads an initial firmware image into the device in a trusted environment
2 The product is deployed with the initial firmware into the field
3 When a firmware update is required the product manufacturer creates a new firmware image
4 The manufacturer sends the new firmware image to the end usertechnician or to the product directly through an untrusted communication channel
5 The new firmware is loaded onto the device in the field
In Figure 1 potential security threats are apparent during the ldquotransportrdquo phase when new firmware is transferred via an untrusted communication channel or during the ldquofirmware loadingrdquo phase when the new firmware is downloaded onto the device in the field
The new firmware image being down-loaded to the device corresponds to the IP of the product manufacturer and the target asset Threats to this asset include
1 Reverse engineering of the firmware binary image into assembly or a higher level engineering language to analyze its functionality and contents
2 Product cloning where a firmware image from the product manufacturer is loaded onto a device that is not authorized
3 Alteration of the firmware distributed by the product manufacturer
4 Loading an unauthorized firmware image onto the device which may correspond to an older firmware version from the product manufacturer with known bugs or code created by an unauthorized party or firmware not intended for the specific device (firmware downgrading)
5 Interrupting the firmware update process such that the firmware is only partially updated resulting in a device being unavailable for service
It is evident that the aforementioned threats can have disastrous conse-quences for the product manufacturer service provider and end user thus indi-cating an intense need for embedded designers to strongly consider measures that increase the overall security of the firmware update mechanism

Secure firmware update considerations for ultra-low power MCUsBy Bhargavi Nisarga and Luis Reynoso
16 IoT Design Guide 2016 wwwiotdesignembedded-computingcom
In-field firmware updates are an increasingly
popular feature in microcontroller-based
(MCU-based) applications These updates
enable new firmware images to be downloaded
onto a devicersquos memory providing an effective way
for product manufacturers to offer services and support to products that are already deployed in the
field The Internet of Things (IoT) era is driving increased connectivity in the embedded world making
this one of the most crucial features for todayrsquos connected products ndash so long as they are secure
Secure firmware update considerations for design engineersFigure 2 shows an example representation of network-connected systems In this case the new firmware image is transferred either from the product manufacturer
FIGURE 2A secure firmware update includes security measures dictated by the interface protocols used for network communications as well as application-level security that ensures firmware images are secured before data enters the network
FIGURE 1 Shown here is a typical firmware update process
(eg a new feature roll-out or firmware bug fix) or the service provider (eg to enabledisable features or services in a product) to the end nodes over local or wide area networks (LANsWANs) and may involve authentication from end user applications (eg via mobile devices and web applications) to per-form the firmware update
Embedded systems engineers designing firmware update capabilities for IoT sys-tems need to not only understand the assets that need to be protected and the potential threats but also the capa-bilities and limitations of their system especially as they pertain to cost per-formance or power consumption in constrained systems As a starting point an effective security solution that incor-porates the right combination of crypto-graphic algorithms and protocol-level measures must be considered
Cryptographic algorithms provide a means of protecting the privacy of con-tent while ensuring its authenticity and integrity Not all cryptographic algo-rithms are the same but they are based on four cryptographic primitives that handle one or more components of the con-fidentiality integrity and authenticity (CIA) triad These primitives are
1 Encryption and decryption Encryption is the process by which data (plaintext) is transformed into something random and meaningless (ciphertext) while decryption performs the opposite job These primitives provide both confidentiality and authenticity and are used to prevent the reverse engineering of firmware
2 One-way functions Functions such as hash are mathematical algorithms that are easy to calculate in one direction but difficult in the other They are used to obtain a digital ldquofingerprintrdquo that ensures the integrity of firmware before it is transported into the field

3 Digital signatures Used to detect if a message was altered after it was signed thus providing not only integrity but also authentication These make use of public-key cryptography to generate a signature that can only be properly decrypted using the manufacturerrsquos public key
4 Message authentication code (MAC) Similar to a digital signature except that it uses symmetric keys to encrypt and decrypt a hash generated by the manufacturer If the hash value decrypted by the receiver matches the hash value calculated for the message then the message is valid In this way MACs provide both authenticity and integrity
Some factors that influence the selection of cryptographic algorithms include performance requirements the security needs of the system memory footprint energy consumption and reliability and acceptance of the algorithm by the security
community (such as organizations like the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST))
In addition to cryptographic algorithms protocol-level measures against threats such as firmware downgrading should be considered As mentioned previ-ously firmware downgrading is an attack in which an older defective firm-ware image (encrypted or not) is re-sent to a device in order to revert it to a vul-nerable state A version check of both the firmware and keys can ensure that only new versions are programmed during an update
An attacker can also interrupt a firmware update process using several methods (power loss physical connection failure bits flipped during transmission etc) This can lead to a device executing an incomplete or invalid firmware image rendering it useless or in a compromised state In order to address this scenario firmware update mechanisms need to ensure that an incomplete or corrupted image is not executed and if neces-sary should revert the system to a valid previously used image
Cryptographic bootloaders for connected embedded systemsFirmware updates are typically handled by the device bootloader A bootloader is a piece of code that resides on device memory and has the ability to reprogram the application memory space However finding or creating an embedded boot-loader with the security required for network-connected systems can be challenging For example a system may need the ability to update cryptographic keys so cryptographic functions and a bootloader protocol should support upgrading keys and increased network security during the firmware update pro-cess The bootloader protocol should also accommodate verifying firmware update versions and packet tracking to check if all packets of a specific firmware update image were received
As discussed the selection of a crypto-graphic algorithm is critical because it not only sets the level of security of the sys- tem but it also impacts its performance

Crypto-Bootloader solution imple-mented on MSP430FR5969 devices encapsulates most of the security fea-tures and considerations outlined here (Figure 3)
Securing firmware for the Internet of ThingsIn summary increasingly network embedded products are creating the potential for advanced security threats making in-field firmware updates more vulnerable to remote attacks and exploitations Therefore it is important for embedded designers to consider securing their firmware update mecha-nisms through solutions that provide the right level of security while balancing the cost power and performance con-straints of IoT products

memory footprint and power consump-tion With this in mind AES-CCM repre-sents an optimal solution for embedded bootloaders AES-CCM is a cryptographic bootloader (Crypto-Bootloader) built on two cryptographic primitives AES Counter Mode (AES-CTR) for encryp-tion and cipher block chaining message
authentication code (CBC-MAC) for integrity and authenticity verification Due to the low overhead provided by AES-CCM it provides a perfect balance between increased security and low memory footprint high throughput and efficient power consumption
The selection of an MCU implementing the bootloader should not be over-looked either Designers should con-sider MCUs with features like hardware encryption engines a memory protec-tion unit (MPU) low-power peripherals and memory technologies that allow fast readwrite cycles for increased throughput The MSP430FR5969 MCU from Texas Instruments is an example of such an MCU that integrates an AES-256 co-processor to accelerate encryption algorithms MPU and MPU-IP encap-sulation (MPU-IPE) modules to enable increased protection and encapsulation of memory regions as well as up to 64 KB of FRAM memory for high performance and ultra-low power consumption The
MSP430FR5969 MCUs integrate a Crypto-Bootloader as well as MPUMPU-IPE modules and an AES-256 security co-processor

Herersquos the thing The IoT doesnrsquot need PoCs
I made this statement the other day in a product development team meeting and received looks of shock and disbelief The company with whom I was working has customers asking for help solving a specific problem and we had a multi-disciplinary team reviewing the architecture for a solution The looks I got said ldquoHow can we begin a product development without a PoCrdquo The answer is easy when you consider the definition of a PoC
According to Wikipedia ldquoA proof of concept is a realization of a certain method or idea to demonstrate its feasibility or a demonstration in principle whose purpose is to verify that some concept or theory has the potential of being used A proof of concept is usually small and may or may not be completerdquo
ldquoFeasibilityrdquo is the key word here Feasibility is the role of technology in the Innovation Venn diagram (Figure 1) Is the product technically feasible Can we even make innovation function For the most part after nearly 15 cycles of Moorersquos law and two generations of the Internet this means ldquoDoes the product violate the laws of physicsrdquo
Today particularly in the IoT ecosystem anything is feasible Further one could argue that if the product is a pure software or Internet play it is by definition feasible
The harder questions for new prod-ucts today are the other two parts of the Innovation Venn Is the product
Gateway
I have heard complaints from several Internet of Things (IoT) sales and business leaders about how
proofs-of-concept (PoCs) are slowing them down In some cases they are just frustrated with how often
they are told ldquoWe need to do a PoCrdquo by a development team in response to a request to begin a new product
or offering development In other cases they are frustrated with how the tools used for PoCs ndash development
kits or Maker-ware devices like Arduino and Raspberry Pi ndash prevent them and their customers from deploying
scalable solutions once the concept is proven

desirable If so at what price Is the business viable These are the tough questions facing new offerings today
Therersquos the rub A PoC does nothing to address user desirability or busi-ness viability A PoC only addresses technology
ldquoYoursquove just renamed the PoC as a prototyperdquo you say But therersquos a big difference between the two
In a PoC the developer is not con-strained by manufacturing costs or user acceptance The issue is simple Can I make this offering work Maker tools are excellent for this This is one of the reasons by the way that when one looks for Maker products most of the suppliers are targeting educational organizations Education is about one example one proof that something works one PoC
A prototype however is the first itera-tion of the new product A prototype is built to a product requirements docu-ment (PRD) and that PRD has manu-facturing supply chain constraints certification constraints user experience needs and cost expectations One-off tools like Arduino or Raspberry Pi were not designed for these constraints So when a product development is started with a PoC and uses Maker tools the

The IoT has put a slightly different spin on the product development process because of the addition of an ongoing user-supported experience Business models depend upon ongoing revenue so innovators have to address this need during development This is the role of the pilot The pilot puts the product in a sales-ready format into the hands of enough users in context to measure their adoption of sustained use of and willingness to pay for the product Figure 2 outlines the roles of PoCs prototypes and pilots in the product development process The fastest progression for product development for the IoT is PoC rarr Prototype(s) rarr Pilot rarr Product
The good news is that good suppliers of the IoT technology stack know that their offerings have to work in production have to scale and have to pass rigorous testing

Sometimes small changes make a big difference Switching your organizationrsquos thinking from proof-of-concept to proof-of-innovation is one of those changes
Three ways to tell you are wasting time with a PoC1 Examples of the offering exist in
either the lab or with competitors ndash Note that the example can be in other applications or markets For example self-driving cars moved immediately to prototypes because auto-piloted airplanes and drones provided the proof that the technology works for autonomous vehicle operations
2 No new hardware is needed ndash If your new offering depends upon the integration or is a software appli-cation of data then you are not doing a PoC Your technology is feasible it just may not be desirable or viable
3 None of the questions to be answered by the PoC effort involve the laws of physics
Three things that make a good pilot1 You have a sales-ready user
experience ndash An IoT pilot not only has to measure user adoption it also has to measure churn Too much churn will defeat the business To measure these characteristics with confidence across a statistically significant number of users the product must have a sales-ready user experience
2 The product is re-certification tested ndash Since the pilot product is not in fact sold it does not have to be marked UL CE FCC etc But it better be ready to mark As soon as the pilot validates adoption churn and price the sales team is going want to see products shipping so you canrsquot go back and do another spin Be ready
3 The supply chain is solid and meets cost expectations ndash The pilot will measure user adoption at price so if it is successful production will begin Production will have to deliver on that price so the supply chain must be solid
David Smith is Vice President of Engineering and Innovation at MultiTech Systems
They also know that they have to help product development teams move through prototyping to pilots quickly The prototypes can get early user feedback and allow forecasts of costs But the sweet spot of innovation is where users want the new product and are willing to pay a price that sustains the business In the IoT sustaining the business is complicated by recurring expense and revenue This is where the pilot comes in The pilot validates the product and the business model
PoCs are not bad but they are not often necessary in business today Perhaps the best example of this is a place where PoCs are the lifeblood of the company Google X Their mission is to make moon shots learn from failure and solve grand problems with approaches no one else is willing to try If your mission is similar then PoCs are great If you are under pressure to grow and generate new forms of revenue using digital technology beware the PoC

As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues its rapid pace of growth therersquos been no shortage of inflated
expectations Platforms promising to ease the development deployment and management of IoT systems are
now counted in the hundreds You might believe that all you have to do is pick a platform you like the best from
the vendor you trust the most and go build your IoT system Well the story is not so simple
In reality nearly all of the IoT platforms available are designed to only support cloud-centric architectures These platforms centralize the ldquointelligencerdquo in the cloud and require data to be conveyed from the edge to do anything useful with it Considering the success of this cloud-centric model in IT (and in some IoT applications like fleet management) you may wonder whatrsquos the big deal
Simply put cloud-centric architectures arenrsquot applicable to a large class of IoT applications Most notably cloud-centric architectures fall short in supporting Industrial IoT (IIoT) sys-tems and struggle with more demanding Consumer IoT (CIoT) applications
The scariest part is that the situation will only get worse with the predicted increase in the number of connected things But there are some things more fundamental limiting cloud-centric architecturesrsquo applicability for IoT systems
Connectivity ndash Cloud-centric architectures assume that sufficient connectivity exists from the things to the cloud This is necessary for collecting the data from the edge and for pushing insight or control actions from the cloud to the edge Yet connectivity
is hard to guarantee for several IoTIIoT applications such as smart autonomous consumer and agricultural vehicles As you can imagine connectivity may be taken for granted in metropolitan areas but not so much in rural areas
Bandwidth ndash Cloud-centric computing assumes that sufficient bandwidth exists to ingest the data from the edge into the data center The challenge here is that several IIoT applications produce incredible volumes of data For instance a factory can easily produce a terabyte of data per day and these numbers will only grow with the continued digitalization of factories
Latency ndash Therersquos a large class of IIoT systems for which the latency required to send data to the cloud make decisions and eventually send data toward the edge to act on these decisions may be completely incompatible with the dynamics of the underlying system A key difference between IT and IoTIIoT is that the latter deals with physical entities As such the reaction time must be compatible with the dynamics of the physical entity or process with which the application interacts Failing to react with the proper latency can lead to system instability infrastructure damage or even put human operators at risk
Cloud
The IoT needs fog computingBy Angelo Corsaro
wwwiotdesignembedded-computingcom IoT Design Guide 2016 23
Cost ndash In the age of smartphones and very cheap data plans most people assume that the cost of connectivity is negligible The reality is quite different in IIoT due to either bandwidth requirements or connectivity points While in consumer applications the individual person (the consumer) pays for connectivity in most IoTIIoT applications (such as smart grids) itrsquos the operator who foots the bill As a result cost is usually carefully accounted for as it has an impact on operating expense and consequently on operational costs and margins
Security ndash Finally even assuming that all the above-listed issues are addressed a large class of IoTIIoT applications are not comfortable with or are incapable due to regulation of pushing their data to a cloud
Unless you can guarantee that the connectivity bandwidth latency cost and security requirements of your application are compatible with a cloud-centric architecture you need a dif-ferent paradigm and 999 percent of the IoT platforms avail-able on the market are not of much use
Fog computing is emerging as the main paradigm to address the connectivity bandwidth latency cost and security chal-lenges imposed by cloud-centric architectures The main idea behind fog computing is to provide elastic compute storage and communication close to the things so that data neednrsquot be sent all the way to the cloud or at least not all data and not all the time And the infrastructure is designed ground-up to deal with cyber- physical systems (CPS) as opposed to IT systems In other words the infrastructure is designed to consider the constraints imposed by the interactions with the physical world in terms of latency determinism load balancing and fault-tolerance
Defining fog computingTwo trends that are at the core of the IIoT revolution are soft-warization and digital twins
Softwarization is a trend that is disrupting several industries Its mantra is the replacement of specialized hardware implementa-tions such as a programmable logic controller (PLC) on an indus-trial floor with software running in a virtualized environment
Digital twins as the name hints are a digital representation (computerized model) of a physical entity (such as a compressor or a turbine) that is animated through the live data coming from its physical brother or sister Digital twins have several applications such as monitoring diagnostics and prognostics Additionally Digital twins provide useful insights to RampD teams for improving next-generation designs as well as continuously ameliorating the fidelity of their models
As softwarization transforms specialized hardware into soft-ware it creates an opportunity for convergence and consolida-tion If we take as an example soft PLCs (ie softwarized PLCs) all of a sudden they can be deployed on commodity hardware in a virtualized environment and decoupled from the IO logic that can remain closer to the source of data As a side note
the general idea of softwarization applied to the factory floor is often referred to as software-defined machines or software-defined automation
As a result of softwarization and digital twins there is an opportunity for modernizing the factory floor consolidating its hardware and improving availability productivity manage-ability resilience to failure and innovation agility In essence as a result of softwarization there is the opportunity to manage these systems as a data center As softwarization is a trend that is impacting a large class of industries it is worth highlighting that the transformations described above along with its ben-efits are not just limited to industrial automation But there is a catch the large majority of these systems whether in the industrial transportation or medical domains are subject to the performance constraints previously discussed
These systems interact with the physical world and as such they need to react at the pace imposed by the physical entity with which they interact As a consequence while traditional cloud infrastructure would be functionally perfect to address these use cases it turns out to be inadequate as it is typi-cally not designed with these non-functional requirements in mind and is often too heavyweight Cloud infrastructures were designed for IT systems in which a delay in the response time may create a bored or upset customer but will not cause a robot arm to smash against a wall another machine or worse
Now it should be clear that fog computing is not just about applying distributed computing to the edge Fog computing is about providing an infrastructure that while virtualizing elastic compute storage and communication is able to address the non-functional properties characteristic of these domains
Fog computing makes it possible to provision and manage softwarized hardware (eg a soft PLC digital twins analytics and anything else that may need to run on the system) while ensuring the proper non-functional requirements and bringing all the benefits listed above in terms of convergence manage-ability availability agility and efficiency improvement
Fog computing provides a flexible infrastructure to provision deploy monitor and manage software at the edge This should clarify how just deploying some logic on an edge gateway isnrsquot fog computing and neither is fog computing traditional dis-tributed computing

Fluid computing Unifying cloud fog and mist computingWhat is mist computing As the name implies mist is closer to the ground than fog which in turn is closer to the ground than the cloud But beside the meteorological analogies what does this really mean As yoursquove probably guessed this means that mist computing is about bringing elastic compute storage and communication directly onto the things Thus if we continue with the meteorological analogy cloud infrastructure is high in the data center fog infrastructure is between the things and the cloud and mist infrastructure is simply the things
The goals of mist computing essentially are two
1 Enabling resource harvesting by exploiting the computation storage and communication capabilities available on the things
2 Allowing arbitrary computations to be provisioned deployed managed and monitored on the things
As you can imagine things in IoT applications are extremely heterogeneous in terms of platforms resources and con-nectivity Thus the main challenge for mist infrastructures is to be sufficiently lightweight to be able to establish a fabric that virtualizes compute storage and communication without consuming too many resources
If we look from a distance at a generic IoTIIoT system we will realize that from an infrastructural perspective we will have to deal with data centers that are in a public or private cloud edge infrastructure and the actual things IoTIIoT systems will need to exploit resources that span these three tiers and provi-sion deploy monitor and manage applications and services across the tiers On the other hand if we look at the techno-logical landscape there is a complete fragmentation between the technologies used for cloud computing fog computing and the emerging mist computing This fragmentation makes it difficult to establish a unified end-to-end perspective of the system and it makes it practically impossible to treat the system as a uniform and virtualized compute storage and communication fabric
At this point the question is ldquoWhat can we do about itrdquo
The first step toward addressing a problem is recognizing it To this end that means raising awareness about the challenges that this fragmentation may induce The second step is to establish a vision of how the problem can be solved so that the industry can internalize it and eventually address it
Letrsquos focus for a moment on what would make sense for the user of an IoTIIoT platform as opposed to the technical details of whether cloud fog or mist is the right answer
From a high-level perspective why should a designer of an IoTIIoT application care whether he or she will be using cloud fog or mist computing paradigms The only thing that really matters is that the platform provides a way to provision
manage and monitor applications in such a way that appli-cations can meet their functional and non-functional require-ments The functional and non-functional requirements drive the allocation of applications on things fog or cloud layers ndash but anything else is just a detail isnrsquot it
Fluid computing is an architectural principle based on the abstraction of the topological details of the computational infrastructure Fluid architectures provide an end-to-end fabric that can be used to seamlessly provision deploy manage and monitor applications regardless of whether the underlying resource is provided by the cloud infrastructure the fog infra-structure or by things
Fluid computing unifies under a single abstraction of cloud fog and mist computing In other words cloud fog and mist computing can be seen as application of fluid computing in a specific bounded context
As the IoTIIoT market evolves expect a convergence of cloud fog and mist computing platforms toward a fluid computing platform This convergence will be necessary if not essential to accelerate the adoption of IoT

CIA and TPM to secure the IoTBy Guenther Fischer
CIA TPM and IoT You might ask what these three acronyms have in common and how they relate to each other
To make a long story short it is all about security trust and reliability
The abbreviation CIA in this context does not mean the Central Intelligence Agency It is an abbreviation for Confidentiality Integrity and Authenticity The so-called CIA principle is a simple but widely used security model covering three key tenets that should be guaranteed by all secure systems
Confidentiality is intended in the sense of hiding information from people not authorized to view it It is perhaps the most obvious aspect of the CIA model when it comes to security At the same time it is also the one most under attack Cryptographic symmetric and asymmetric encryption methods are examples of means to ensure confidentiality when transmitting data from one computer system to another
Integrity on the other hand represents the certainty that data is accurate and not changed on its journey from the original sender to the intended receiver A common security attack often called a man-in-the-middle attack intercepts data and makes changes to it before passing it on to the intended receiver Cryptographic digital signature methods are one way to attest the integrity of code and data
In addition authenticity is needed to address the concern about genuine information In other words you want to make sure the information you receive actually comes from the source that claims to be its genuine origin Cryptographic digital certificates are used to prove the authenticity of the issuer
Now that we understand why CIA is important for a secure system letrsquos move to the third acronym IoT
After many years of being an overhyped marketing term the so-called Internet of Things (IoT) is starting to become mature and real Mark Weiser created the term ldquoubiquitous computingrdquo first in his famous Scientific American article ldquoThe Computer for the 21st Centuryrdquo pub lished September 1991 His thinking was so ahead of his time that it seemed like science fiction to most of his readers In 2016 his vision has become reality Ubiquitous computing (or ubicomp for short) became todayrsquos ndash perhaps overhyped ndash IoT
Weiser started his article ldquoThe most profound technologies are those that disappear They weave themselves into the fabric of

everyday life until they are indistinguishable from itrdquo He pre-dicted that computing devices would become commonplace and part of all aspects of life and he was right Just consider for example the consumer gadgets like fitness bands smart watches smart phones or navigation systems that send and receive data all day long Or consider the home which is con-nected to a power grid where a smart meter allows the energy provider to effectively calculate the resources needed to cover the demand of all households Interconnected computing devices are everywhere nowadays
Shifting focus to industrial applications todayrsquos business IoT applications are developed together with devices and services coming from various sectors of industry information tech-nology automation and production technology aerospace maritime and naval systems railways car manufacturers and their suppliers energy providers agricultural medical tech-nology and building automation All of those share character-istics including long life in the field reliability and robustness in harsh environments and reliable long-term availability
IoT systems rely on public networks but public networks are not secure environments While IoT creates new capabilities and services allows greater efficiencies increases flexibility and enables the customization of single production units it also opens up previously closed systems and allows attackers to get access to those systems from the outside world
Attackers often use reverse engineering techniques to iden-tify software vulnerabilities which they can exploit to create counterfeit products steal sensitive data or tamper with the device for sabotage and espionage purposes This can lead to serious and dangerous hacks as recent attacks on safety-critical automotive aerospace and medical components have shown
This brings us back to the CIA principle we started with The only way to avoid situations like those listed above is to apply

the CIA security model to the world of IoT devices As we have learned CIA is built around cryprograhic operations Todayrsquos modern cryprography leverages standard crypto protocols The Dutch cryptographer Auguste Kerckhoffs stated a maxim in the 19th century that would become known as Kerckhoffsrsquo principle A cryptosystem should be secure even if everything about the system except for the key is public knowledge
I repeat everything is public knowledge except for the key which is needed to encrypt and decrypt the content either directly or in a derived form So how do you store a key in a secure manner This brings me to the second acronym TPM the Trusted Platform Module
In the world of cryptography there is a ton of other acronyms referring to the various protocols and methods that are used to ensure the CIA principle To name just a few of them you have DES AES for symmetric cryptography and RSA ECC for asymmetric cryptography The list of acronyms goes on and on The really important part however is that the algorithms themselves are typically not secret they are publicly available just as Kerckhoffsrsquo principle demands it The only part that really needs to be kept secret is the key itself This sounds simple but it is pretty hard to achieve To keep the key secret you need a secure place like a safe which we will call a secure element to securely store the key A TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is such a secure element and it offers a lot more including the crypto protocols
In a nutshell a TPM is a specialized and dedicated device that offers crypto operations and secure storage for secret keys all in one This allows you to store the key in a secure place and even more importantly it allows the key to stay there so it never leaves its secure location All important crypto operations are done inside of the TPM itself and only the results are exposed This prevents the key from getting compromised In case you want to know why it is important to have this dedicated functionality separated in a dedicated device I recommend you to read the following two articles These should make it obvious how impor-tant it is to have a dedicated secure element like a TPM inside a computing device to make it secure trustable and reliable
So how can incidents like these be prevented Use technology that creates secured code and licenses that can be bound to a secure element in the target system ensuring that the code and the licensed features can only be used on an individual system License creation and deployment can be integrated into existing business processes such as ERP systems or e-commerce platforms This mechanism opens up new business models such as feature-on-demand upselling and time-based or pay-per-use licenses for the IoT and other intelligent devices The result is improved security from attacks malware theft and other malfeasance for code and IP

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) promises to deliver a step change in efficiency and a leap towards
autonomy for industrial automation and other sectors such as security and surveillance and building management
The prospect of self-monitoring self-managing factories and manufacturing processes is no longer beyond the
distant horizon The ability to remotely identify monitor and control every individual device in a manufacturing
process network with minimal or no human intervention offers opportunities that were beyond comprehension just
a decade ago ndash even in the eyes of engineers working at the very forefront of industrial manufacturing technology
Advances in sensing connectivity and control fuel IIoT designsBy Wiren Perera
The key drivers of the IIoT are more measurement of an expanding number of parameters fast and extensive analysis of and reactions to data and accelerated enhancements to processes Successful IIoT design and management can mean continuously optimized efficiency reduced operating costs and more resilient self-learning processes At the fulcrum of this are a number of semiconductor technolo-gies on offer and in development at some of the worldrsquos top electronic component manufacturers
Vision-based sensing and energy harvestingSensors are at the heart of the IIoT gathering more and more data But to measure more we need to sense more ndash more parameters more accurately and more often Overlaying software on established technologies can bring incremental gains but to make the necessary advances we need to add more parameters with accuracy as each additional parameter can make a system smarter
Sensor technology that measures ldquotraditionalrdquo parameters such as temperature light position level humidity and pressure continues to advance But despite becoming smaller more cost-effective and often embedded each sensor is dedicated and hence limited in its functionality and versatility Vision-based sensing enables a new paradigm Corollary to the concept of ldquoa picture is worth a thousand wordsrdquo once a machine can ldquoseerdquo much more is possible much faster
With vision sensing programmability brings flexibility enabling a single vision system to sense missing or misplaced components and other process vari-ables The trend towards vision-based sensing ndash both still and video ndash will make future systems more intelligent flexible and ultimately more valuable
Current advances in machine vision in many situations can provide better sight than the human eye Coupled with the reduction in risks associated with human error it enables a new degree of adapt-ability and speed for reconfigurable production processes This could be any-thing from optimization based on real-time events to the reconfiguration of a system that may allow multiple products to be made on a single line They only require a simple change from one control

FIGURE 1 ON Semiconductorrsquos Smart Passive Sensor family are wireless energy harvesting sensors that can function autonomously in space-constrained environments
program to the next and the system is ready to run This has obvious cost time and labor benefits and reduces the risks associated with error
However the distributed nature of the IIoT and the requirement to place mul-tiple sensors at various points of mea-surement presents another challenge the reliable delivery of power
Successful sensors especially those utilized in IIoT designs have four basic attributes they need to be self-pow-ered collect data broadcast their status and have the ability to connect Wireless sensors with the ability to harvest energy (ie self-powered) are essential if the IIoT is to advance and realize its potential Wireless energy harvesting solutions such as ON Semiconductorrsquos Smart Passive Sensors are an example of technology that can meet these require-ments (Figure 1) These devices can be deployed in hard-to-access space- constrained environments with no direct power source allowing them to function autonomously
Instant access to dataSensors gather data and then post-pro-cessing and analytics generate valuable information along with the ability to control factories and processes
The processing of large sustained flows of data associated with real-time sensing for the IIoT is reliant on the cloud This analysis requires platforms that can store large data sets across distributed clus-ters often combining and processing data from many geographically dis-persed sources In global organizations for example a problem in a Chinese smart factory can trigger an almost in- stantaneous process improvement in a similar factory located somewhere else in the world
Advances in secure communications and authentication also allow mobile devices to connect to these networks bringing opportunities for instantaneous access to information Flexible access can then drive value into the business and its relationships with the outside world In
fact this IToperational technology (OT) integration as shown in Figure 2 has the potential to bring the greatest benefits to a broad range of industrial automation applications
Combining sensing connectivity and actuationMany industrial control systems are very sophisticated and require accurate or careful often rapid positioning This could mean anything from the speed and direction of a cooling fan to a motor or servo that adjusts a valve position or a stepper motor for linear or angular positioning in a precision task Alongside the rapid development of sensing for the IIoT the actuators and their controllers that provide the physical reac-tions to gathered analyzed data are seeing similar advancements
However integrated manufacturing processes require a broad range of sensing tech-nologies be combined with connectivity and actuation which creates design and expertise challenges Fully integrated hardware and software development platforms that combine these elements are crucial to help speed and ease the customization of specific functions for adoption into end products Modularity makes these platforms extensible to new IoTIIoT functions and devices that are based on new advances allowing more rapid adoption (Figure 3 page 14) Open-source support is also impor-tant since a broad ecosystem and interoperability are crucial for the IoTrsquos success

Sensors data processing and actuators are all significant building blocks of an IIoT application However without a means to communicate share data and transmit receive and execute instructions the IIoT cannot function
Considering the IIoTrsquos unique requirements not all standards and protocols are satis-factory The technologies suitable for smartphone personal area networks (PANs) or single-supplier standards are unlikely to be successful Instead itrsquos important for IIoT
platforms to demonstrate flexibility by supporting a broad array of standards including Thread SIGFOX EnOcean M-Bus KNX ZigBee and proprietary protocols The adoption of a software-defined radio (SDR) approach allows a single platform to support multiple pro-tocols which will be a requirement for platforms designed support multiple applications
ZigBee and Thread are complementary 802154 standards and a liaison relationship between the two industry organizations should help drive broad adoption of these protocols within smart home applications Thread is an IP-based (IPv6) networking protocol built on open standards for low-power mesh networks that can easily and securely connect hundreds of devices to each other and directly to the cloud Security and interoperability are two of Threadrsquos key value-added capabilities
Conversely SIGFOX enables wide-area networks (WANs) that provide relatively low bandwidth communications with fixed or mobile smart objects or sensors deployed over large areas Example applications for this protocol include the nationwide tracking of shipping containers or vehicles and communication with geographically spread assets such as smart-city equipment or oil pumps and pipelines
Technology convergence for the IIoTAt the core of achieving the IIoTrsquos true potential will be the effective interplay and connection of sensing computing and control technologies in robust energy-efficient implementations Every facet of technology is evolving towards this goal with both discrete solutions and integrated development platforms that are enabling embedded and IoT design engineers to transform yester-dayrsquos vision of automated self- managing industry into todayrsquos reality

IoT developers often consider faster time-to-market and lower product maintenance costs when deploying firmware update mechanisms as the capability allows them to stage feature roll-outs enabledisable features or functionality on devices in the field fix firmware bugs after a product has been released reduce the need for expensive technical support and enable better overall end user experiences However if proper security measures are not in place this feature may be misused and the consequences of a successful exploitation can be disastrous ranging from intellectual property (IP) theft and product cloning all the way to unauthor-ized control of the deployed system For example a successful exploitation of firmware update mechanisms that do not support verifying a new firmware imagersquos authenticity in a hospital drug pump can lead to a hacker tampering with the dos-ages of drugs delivered to patients
Firmware updates and their vulnerabilitiesFigure 1 shows a typical firmware update process The steps include
1 The product manufacturer creates and loads an initial firmware image into the device in a trusted environment
2 The product is deployed with the initial firmware into the field
3 When a firmware update is required the product manufacturer creates a new firmware image
4 The manufacturer sends the new firmware image to the end usertechnician or to the product directly through an untrusted communication channel
5 The new firmware is loaded onto the device in the field
In Figure 1 potential security threats are apparent during the ldquotransportrdquo phase when new firmware is transferred via an untrusted communication channel or during the ldquofirmware loadingrdquo phase when the new firmware is downloaded onto the device in the field
The new firmware image being down-loaded to the device corresponds to the IP of the product manufacturer and the target asset Threats to this asset include
1 Reverse engineering of the firmware binary image into assembly or a higher level engineering language to analyze its functionality and contents
2 Product cloning where a firmware image from the product manufacturer is loaded onto a device that is not authorized
3 Alteration of the firmware distributed by the product manufacturer
4 Loading an unauthorized firmware image onto the device which may correspond to an older firmware version from the product manufacturer with known bugs or code created by an unauthorized party or firmware not intended for the specific device (firmware downgrading)
5 Interrupting the firmware update process such that the firmware is only partially updated resulting in a device being unavailable for service
It is evident that the aforementioned threats can have disastrous conse-quences for the product manufacturer service provider and end user thus indi-cating an intense need for embedded designers to strongly consider measures that increase the overall security of the firmware update mechanism

Secure firmware update considerations for ultra-low power MCUsBy Bhargavi Nisarga and Luis Reynoso
16 IoT Design Guide 2016 wwwiotdesignembedded-computingcom
In-field firmware updates are an increasingly
popular feature in microcontroller-based
(MCU-based) applications These updates
enable new firmware images to be downloaded
onto a devicersquos memory providing an effective way
for product manufacturers to offer services and support to products that are already deployed in the
field The Internet of Things (IoT) era is driving increased connectivity in the embedded world making
this one of the most crucial features for todayrsquos connected products ndash so long as they are secure
Secure firmware update considerations for design engineersFigure 2 shows an example representation of network-connected systems In this case the new firmware image is transferred either from the product manufacturer
FIGURE 2A secure firmware update includes security measures dictated by the interface protocols used for network communications as well as application-level security that ensures firmware images are secured before data enters the network
FIGURE 1 Shown here is a typical firmware update process
(eg a new feature roll-out or firmware bug fix) or the service provider (eg to enabledisable features or services in a product) to the end nodes over local or wide area networks (LANsWANs) and may involve authentication from end user applications (eg via mobile devices and web applications) to per-form the firmware update
Embedded systems engineers designing firmware update capabilities for IoT sys-tems need to not only understand the assets that need to be protected and the potential threats but also the capa-bilities and limitations of their system especially as they pertain to cost per-formance or power consumption in constrained systems As a starting point an effective security solution that incor-porates the right combination of crypto-graphic algorithms and protocol-level measures must be considered
Cryptographic algorithms provide a means of protecting the privacy of con-tent while ensuring its authenticity and integrity Not all cryptographic algo-rithms are the same but they are based on four cryptographic primitives that handle one or more components of the con-fidentiality integrity and authenticity (CIA) triad These primitives are
1 Encryption and decryption Encryption is the process by which data (plaintext) is transformed into something random and meaningless (ciphertext) while decryption performs the opposite job These primitives provide both confidentiality and authenticity and are used to prevent the reverse engineering of firmware
2 One-way functions Functions such as hash are mathematical algorithms that are easy to calculate in one direction but difficult in the other They are used to obtain a digital ldquofingerprintrdquo that ensures the integrity of firmware before it is transported into the field

3 Digital signatures Used to detect if a message was altered after it was signed thus providing not only integrity but also authentication These make use of public-key cryptography to generate a signature that can only be properly decrypted using the manufacturerrsquos public key
4 Message authentication code (MAC) Similar to a digital signature except that it uses symmetric keys to encrypt and decrypt a hash generated by the manufacturer If the hash value decrypted by the receiver matches the hash value calculated for the message then the message is valid In this way MACs provide both authenticity and integrity
Some factors that influence the selection of cryptographic algorithms include performance requirements the security needs of the system memory footprint energy consumption and reliability and acceptance of the algorithm by the security
community (such as organizations like the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST))
In addition to cryptographic algorithms protocol-level measures against threats such as firmware downgrading should be considered As mentioned previ-ously firmware downgrading is an attack in which an older defective firm-ware image (encrypted or not) is re-sent to a device in order to revert it to a vul-nerable state A version check of both the firmware and keys can ensure that only new versions are programmed during an update
An attacker can also interrupt a firmware update process using several methods (power loss physical connection failure bits flipped during transmission etc) This can lead to a device executing an incomplete or invalid firmware image rendering it useless or in a compromised state In order to address this scenario firmware update mechanisms need to ensure that an incomplete or corrupted image is not executed and if neces-sary should revert the system to a valid previously used image
Cryptographic bootloaders for connected embedded systemsFirmware updates are typically handled by the device bootloader A bootloader is a piece of code that resides on device memory and has the ability to reprogram the application memory space However finding or creating an embedded boot-loader with the security required for network-connected systems can be challenging For example a system may need the ability to update cryptographic keys so cryptographic functions and a bootloader protocol should support upgrading keys and increased network security during the firmware update pro-cess The bootloader protocol should also accommodate verifying firmware update versions and packet tracking to check if all packets of a specific firmware update image were received
As discussed the selection of a crypto-graphic algorithm is critical because it not only sets the level of security of the sys- tem but it also impacts its performance

Crypto-Bootloader solution imple-mented on MSP430FR5969 devices encapsulates most of the security fea-tures and considerations outlined here (Figure 3)
Securing firmware for the Internet of ThingsIn summary increasingly network embedded products are creating the potential for advanced security threats making in-field firmware updates more vulnerable to remote attacks and exploitations Therefore it is important for embedded designers to consider securing their firmware update mecha-nisms through solutions that provide the right level of security while balancing the cost power and performance con-straints of IoT products

memory footprint and power consump-tion With this in mind AES-CCM repre-sents an optimal solution for embedded bootloaders AES-CCM is a cryptographic bootloader (Crypto-Bootloader) built on two cryptographic primitives AES Counter Mode (AES-CTR) for encryp-tion and cipher block chaining message
authentication code (CBC-MAC) for integrity and authenticity verification Due to the low overhead provided by AES-CCM it provides a perfect balance between increased security and low memory footprint high throughput and efficient power consumption
The selection of an MCU implementing the bootloader should not be over-looked either Designers should con-sider MCUs with features like hardware encryption engines a memory protec-tion unit (MPU) low-power peripherals and memory technologies that allow fast readwrite cycles for increased throughput The MSP430FR5969 MCU from Texas Instruments is an example of such an MCU that integrates an AES-256 co-processor to accelerate encryption algorithms MPU and MPU-IP encap-sulation (MPU-IPE) modules to enable increased protection and encapsulation of memory regions as well as up to 64 KB of FRAM memory for high performance and ultra-low power consumption The
MSP430FR5969 MCUs integrate a Crypto-Bootloader as well as MPUMPU-IPE modules and an AES-256 security co-processor

Herersquos the thing The IoT doesnrsquot need PoCs
I made this statement the other day in a product development team meeting and received looks of shock and disbelief The company with whom I was working has customers asking for help solving a specific problem and we had a multi-disciplinary team reviewing the architecture for a solution The looks I got said ldquoHow can we begin a product development without a PoCrdquo The answer is easy when you consider the definition of a PoC
According to Wikipedia ldquoA proof of concept is a realization of a certain method or idea to demonstrate its feasibility or a demonstration in principle whose purpose is to verify that some concept or theory has the potential of being used A proof of concept is usually small and may or may not be completerdquo
ldquoFeasibilityrdquo is the key word here Feasibility is the role of technology in the Innovation Venn diagram (Figure 1) Is the product technically feasible Can we even make innovation function For the most part after nearly 15 cycles of Moorersquos law and two generations of the Internet this means ldquoDoes the product violate the laws of physicsrdquo
Today particularly in the IoT ecosystem anything is feasible Further one could argue that if the product is a pure software or Internet play it is by definition feasible
The harder questions for new prod-ucts today are the other two parts of the Innovation Venn Is the product
Gateway
I have heard complaints from several Internet of Things (IoT) sales and business leaders about how
proofs-of-concept (PoCs) are slowing them down In some cases they are just frustrated with how often
they are told ldquoWe need to do a PoCrdquo by a development team in response to a request to begin a new product
or offering development In other cases they are frustrated with how the tools used for PoCs ndash development
kits or Maker-ware devices like Arduino and Raspberry Pi ndash prevent them and their customers from deploying
scalable solutions once the concept is proven

desirable If so at what price Is the business viable These are the tough questions facing new offerings today
Therersquos the rub A PoC does nothing to address user desirability or busi-ness viability A PoC only addresses technology
ldquoYoursquove just renamed the PoC as a prototyperdquo you say But therersquos a big difference between the two
In a PoC the developer is not con-strained by manufacturing costs or user acceptance The issue is simple Can I make this offering work Maker tools are excellent for this This is one of the reasons by the way that when one looks for Maker products most of the suppliers are targeting educational organizations Education is about one example one proof that something works one PoC
A prototype however is the first itera-tion of the new product A prototype is built to a product requirements docu-ment (PRD) and that PRD has manu-facturing supply chain constraints certification constraints user experience needs and cost expectations One-off tools like Arduino or Raspberry Pi were not designed for these constraints So when a product development is started with a PoC and uses Maker tools the

The IoT has put a slightly different spin on the product development process because of the addition of an ongoing user-supported experience Business models depend upon ongoing revenue so innovators have to address this need during development This is the role of the pilot The pilot puts the product in a sales-ready format into the hands of enough users in context to measure their adoption of sustained use of and willingness to pay for the product Figure 2 outlines the roles of PoCs prototypes and pilots in the product development process The fastest progression for product development for the IoT is PoC rarr Prototype(s) rarr Pilot rarr Product

Sometimes small changes make a big difference Switching your organizationrsquos thinking from proof-of-concept to proof-of-innovation is one of those changes
Three ways to tell you are wasting time with a PoC1 Examples of the offering exist in
either the lab or with competitors ndash Note that the example can be in other applications or markets For example self-driving cars moved immediately to prototypes because auto-piloted airplanes and drones provided the proof that the technology works for autonomous vehicle operations
2 No new hardware is needed ndash If your new offering depends upon the integration or is a software appli-cation of data then you are not doing a PoC Your technology is feasible it just may not be desirable or viable
3 None of the questions to be answered by the PoC effort involve the laws of physics
Three things that make a good pilot1 You have a sales-ready user
experience ndash An IoT pilot not only has to measure user adoption it also has to measure churn Too much churn will defeat the business To measure these characteristics with confidence across a statistically significant number of users the product must have a sales-ready user experience
2 The product is re-certification tested ndash Since the pilot product is not in fact sold it does not have to be marked UL CE FCC etc But it better be ready to mark As soon as the pilot validates adoption churn and price the sales team is going want to see products shipping so you canrsquot go back and do another spin Be ready
3 The supply chain is solid and meets cost expectations ndash The pilot will measure user adoption at price so if it is successful production will begin Production will have to deliver on that price so the supply chain must be solid
David Smith is Vice President of Engineering and Innovation at MultiTech Systems
They also know that they have to help product development teams move through prototyping to pilots quickly The prototypes can get early user feedback and allow forecasts of costs But the sweet spot of innovation is where users want the new product and are willing to pay a price that sustains the business In the IoT sustaining the business is complicated by recurring expense and revenue This is where the pilot comes in The pilot validates the product and the business model
PoCs are not bad but they are not often necessary in business today Perhaps the best example of this is a place where PoCs are the lifeblood of the company Google X Their mission is to make moon shots learn from failure and solve grand problems with approaches no one else is willing to try If your mission is similar then PoCs are great If you are under pressure to grow and generate new forms of revenue using digital technology beware the PoC

As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues its rapid pace of growth therersquos been no shortage of inflated
expectations Platforms promising to ease the development deployment and management of IoT systems are
now counted in the hundreds You might believe that all you have to do is pick a platform you like the best from
the vendor you trust the most and go build your IoT system Well the story is not so simple
In reality nearly all of the IoT platforms available are designed to only support cloud-centric architectures These platforms centralize the ldquointelligencerdquo in the cloud and require data to be conveyed from the edge to do anything useful with it Considering the success of this cloud-centric model in IT (and in some IoT applications like fleet management) you may wonder whatrsquos the big deal
Simply put cloud-centric architectures arenrsquot applicable to a large class of IoT applications Most notably cloud-centric architectures fall short in supporting Industrial IoT (IIoT) sys-tems and struggle with more demanding Consumer IoT (CIoT) applications
The scariest part is that the situation will only get worse with the predicted increase in the number of connected things But there are some things more fundamental limiting cloud-centric architecturesrsquo applicability for IoT systems
Connectivity ndash Cloud-centric architectures assume that sufficient connectivity exists from the things to the cloud This is necessary for collecting the data from the edge and for pushing insight or control actions from the cloud to the edge Yet connectivity
is hard to guarantee for several IoTIIoT applications such as smart autonomous consumer and agricultural vehicles As you can imagine connectivity may be taken for granted in metropolitan areas but not so much in rural areas
Bandwidth ndash Cloud-centric computing assumes that sufficient bandwidth exists to ingest the data from the edge into the data center The challenge here is that several IIoT applications produce incredible volumes of data For instance a factory can easily produce a terabyte of data per day and these numbers will only grow with the continued digitalization of factories
Latency ndash Therersquos a large class of IIoT systems for which the latency required to send data to the cloud make decisions and eventually send data toward the edge to act on these decisions may be completely incompatible with the dynamics of the underlying system A key difference between IT and IoTIIoT is that the latter deals with physical entities As such the reaction time must be compatible with the dynamics of the physical entity or process with which the application interacts Failing to react with the proper latency can lead to system instability infrastructure damage or even put human operators at risk

The IoT needs fog computingBy Angelo Corsaro
wwwiotdesignembedded-computingcom IoT Design Guide 2016 23
Cost ndash In the age of smartphones and very cheap data plans most people assume that the cost of connectivity is negligible The reality is quite different in IIoT due to either bandwidth requirements or connectivity points While in consumer applications the individual person (the consumer) pays for connectivity in most IoTIIoT applications (such as smart grids) itrsquos the operator who foots the bill As a result cost is usually carefully accounted for as it has an impact on operating expense and consequently on operational costs and margins
Security ndash Finally even assuming that all the above-listed issues are addressed a large class of IoTIIoT applications are not comfortable with or are incapable due to regulation of pushing their data to a cloud
Unless you can guarantee that the connectivity bandwidth latency cost and security requirements of your application are compatible with a cloud-centric architecture you need a dif-ferent paradigm and 999 percent of the IoT platforms avail-able on the market are not of much use
Fog computing is emerging as the main paradigm to address the connectivity bandwidth latency cost and security chal-lenges imposed by cloud-centric architectures The main idea behind fog computing is to provide elastic compute storage and communication close to the things so that data neednrsquot be sent all the way to the cloud or at least not all data and not all the time And the infrastructure is designed ground-up to deal with cyber- physical systems (CPS) as opposed to IT systems In other words the infrastructure is designed to consider the constraints imposed by the interactions with the physical world in terms of latency determinism load balancing and fault-tolerance
Defining fog computingTwo trends that are at the core of the IIoT revolution are soft-warization and digital twins
Softwarization is a trend that is disrupting several industries Its mantra is the replacement of specialized hardware implementa-tions such as a programmable logic controller (PLC) on an indus-trial floor with software running in a virtualized environment
Digital twins as the name hints are a digital representation (computerized model) of a physical entity (such as a compressor or a turbine) that is animated through the live data coming from its physical brother or sister Digital twins have several applications such as monitoring diagnostics and prognostics Additionally Digital twins provide useful insights to RampD teams for improving next-generation designs as well as continuously ameliorating the fidelity of their models
As softwarization transforms specialized hardware into soft-ware it creates an opportunity for convergence and consolida-tion If we take as an example soft PLCs (ie softwarized PLCs) all of a sudden they can be deployed on commodity hardware in a virtualized environment and decoupled from the IO logic that can remain closer to the source of data As a side note
the general idea of softwarization applied to the factory floor is often referred to as software-defined machines or software-defined automation
As a result of softwarization and digital twins there is an opportunity for modernizing the factory floor consolidating its hardware and improving availability productivity manage-ability resilience to failure and innovation agility In essence as a result of softwarization there is the opportunity to manage these systems as a data center As softwarization is a trend that is impacting a large class of industries it is worth highlighting that the transformations described above along with its ben-efits are not just limited to industrial automation But there is a catch the large majority of these systems whether in the industrial transportation or medical domains are subject to the performance constraints previously discussed
These systems interact with the physical world and as such they need to react at the pace imposed by the physical entity with which they interact As a consequence while traditional cloud infrastructure would be functionally perfect to address these use cases it turns out to be inadequate as it is typi-cally not designed with these non-functional requirements in mind and is often too heavyweight Cloud infrastructures were designed for IT systems in which a delay in the response time may create a bored or upset customer but will not cause a robot arm to smash against a wall another machine or worse
Now it should be clear that fog computing is not just about applying distributed computing to the edge Fog computing is about providing an infrastructure that while virtualizing elastic compute storage and communication is able to address the non-functional properties characteristic of these domains
Fog computing makes it possible to provision and manage softwarized hardware (eg a soft PLC digital twins analytics and anything else that may need to run on the system) while ensuring the proper non-functional requirements and bringing all the benefits listed above in terms of convergence manage-ability availability agility and efficiency improvement
Fog computing provides a flexible infrastructure to provision deploy monitor and manage software at the edge This should clarify how just deploying some logic on an edge gateway isnrsquot fog computing and neither is fog computing traditional dis-tributed computing

Fluid computing Unifying cloud fog and mist computingWhat is mist computing As the name implies mist is closer to the ground than fog which in turn is closer to the ground than the cloud But beside the meteorological analogies what does this really mean As yoursquove probably guessed this means that mist computing is about bringing elastic compute storage and communication directly onto the things Thus if we continue with the meteorological analogy cloud infrastructure is high in the data center fog infrastructure is between the things and the cloud and mist infrastructure is simply the things
The goals of mist computing essentially are two
1 Enabling resource harvesting by exploiting the computation storage and communication capabilities available on the things
2 Allowing arbitrary computations to be provisioned deployed managed and monitored on the things
As you can imagine things in IoT applications are extremely heterogeneous in terms of platforms resources and con-nectivity Thus the main challenge for mist infrastructures is to be sufficiently lightweight to be able to establish a fabric that virtualizes compute storage and communication without consuming too many resources
If we look from a distance at a generic IoTIIoT system we will realize that from an infrastructural perspective we will have to deal with data centers that are in a public or private cloud edge infrastructure and the actual things IoTIIoT systems will need to exploit resources that span these three tiers and provi-sion deploy monitor and manage applications and services across the tiers On the other hand if we look at the techno-logical landscape there is a complete fragmentation between the technologies used for cloud computing fog computing and the emerging mist computing This fragmentation makes it difficult to establish a unified end-to-end perspective of the system and it makes it practically impossible to treat the system as a uniform and virtualized compute storage and communication fabric
At this point the question is ldquoWhat can we do about itrdquo
The first step toward addressing a problem is recognizing it To this end that means raising awareness about the challenges that this fragmentation may induce The second step is to establish a vision of how the problem can be solved so that the industry can internalize it and eventually address it
Letrsquos focus for a moment on what would make sense for the user of an IoTIIoT platform as opposed to the technical details of whether cloud fog or mist is the right answer
From a high-level perspective why should a designer of an IoTIIoT application care whether he or she will be using cloud fog or mist computing paradigms The only thing that really matters is that the platform provides a way to provision
manage and monitor applications in such a way that appli-cations can meet their functional and non-functional require-ments The functional and non-functional requirements drive the allocation of applications on things fog or cloud layers ndash but anything else is just a detail isnrsquot it
Fluid computing is an architectural principle based on the abstraction of the topological details of the computational infrastructure Fluid architectures provide an end-to-end fabric that can be used to seamlessly provision deploy manage and monitor applications regardless of whether the underlying resource is provided by the cloud infrastructure the fog infra-structure or by things
Fluid computing unifies under a single abstraction of cloud fog and mist computing In other words cloud fog and mist computing can be seen as application of fluid computing in a specific bounded context
As the IoTIIoT market evolves expect a convergence of cloud fog and mist computing platforms toward a fluid computing platform This convergence will be necessary if not essential to accelerate the adoption of IoT

CIA and TPM to secure the IoTBy Guenther Fischer
CIA TPM and IoT You might ask what these three acronyms have in common and how they relate to each other
To make a long story short it is all about security trust and reliability
The abbreviation CIA in this context does not mean the Central Intelligence Agency It is an abbreviation for Confidentiality Integrity and Authenticity The so-called CIA principle is a simple but widely used security model covering three key tenets that should be guaranteed by all secure systems
Confidentiality is intended in the sense of hiding information from people not authorized to view it It is perhaps the most obvious aspect of the CIA model when it comes to security At the same time it is also the one most under attack Cryptographic symmetric and asymmetric encryption methods are examples of means to ensure confidentiality when transmitting data from one computer system to another
Integrity on the other hand represents the certainty that data is accurate and not changed on its journey from the original sender to the intended receiver A common security attack often called a man-in-the-middle attack intercepts data and makes changes to it before passing it on to the intended receiver Cryptographic digital signature methods are one way to attest the integrity of code and data
In addition authenticity is needed to address the concern about genuine information In other words you want to make sure the information you receive actually comes from the source that claims to be its genuine origin Cryptographic digital certificates are used to prove the authenticity of the issuer
Now that we understand why CIA is important for a secure system letrsquos move to the third acronym IoT
After many years of being an overhyped marketing term the so-called Internet of Things (IoT) is starting to become mature and real Mark Weiser created the term ldquoubiquitous computingrdquo first in his famous Scientific American article ldquoThe Computer for the 21st Centuryrdquo pub lished September 1991 His thinking was so ahead of his time that it seemed like science fiction to most of his readers In 2016 his vision has become reality Ubiquitous computing (or ubicomp for short) became todayrsquos ndash perhaps overhyped ndash IoT
Weiser started his article ldquoThe most profound technologies are those that disappear They weave themselves into the fabric of

everyday life until they are indistinguishable from itrdquo He pre-dicted that computing devices would become commonplace and part of all aspects of life and he was right Just consider for example the consumer gadgets like fitness bands smart watches smart phones or navigation systems that send and receive data all day long Or consider the home which is con-nected to a power grid where a smart meter allows the energy provider to effectively calculate the resources needed to cover the demand of all households Interconnected computing devices are everywhere nowadays
Shifting focus to industrial applications todayrsquos business IoT applications are developed together with devices and services coming from various sectors of industry information tech-nology automation and production technology aerospace maritime and naval systems railways car manufacturers and their suppliers energy providers agricultural medical tech-nology and building automation All of those share character-istics including long life in the field reliability and robustness in harsh environments and reliable long-term availability
IoT systems rely on public networks but public networks are not secure environments While IoT creates new capabilities and services allows greater efficiencies increases flexibility and enables the customization of single production units it also opens up previously closed systems and allows attackers to get access to those systems from the outside world
Attackers often use reverse engineering techniques to iden-tify software vulnerabilities which they can exploit to create counterfeit products steal sensitive data or tamper with the device for sabotage and espionage purposes This can lead to serious and dangerous hacks as recent attacks on safety-critical automotive aerospace and medical components have shown
This brings us back to the CIA principle we started with The only way to avoid situations like those listed above is to apply

the CIA security model to the world of IoT devices As we have learned CIA is built around cryprograhic operations Todayrsquos modern cryprography leverages standard crypto protocols The Dutch cryptographer Auguste Kerckhoffs stated a maxim in the 19th century that would become known as Kerckhoffsrsquo principle A cryptosystem should be secure even if everything about the system except for the key is public knowledge
I repeat everything is public knowledge except for the key which is needed to encrypt and decrypt the content either directly or in a derived form So how do you store a key in a secure manner This brings me to the second acronym TPM the Trusted Platform Module
In the world of cryptography there is a ton of other acronyms referring to the various protocols and methods that are used to ensure the CIA principle To name just a few of them you have DES AES for symmetric cryptography and RSA ECC for asymmetric cryptography The list of acronyms goes on and on The really important part however is that the algorithms themselves are typically not secret they are publicly available just as Kerckhoffsrsquo principle demands it The only part that really needs to be kept secret is the key itself This sounds simple but it is pretty hard to achieve To keep the key secret you need a secure place like a safe which we will call a secure element to securely store the key A TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is such a secure element and it offers a lot more including the crypto protocols
In a nutshell a TPM is a specialized and dedicated device that offers crypto operations and secure storage for secret keys all in one This allows you to store the key in a secure place and even more importantly it allows the key to stay there so it never leaves its secure location All important crypto operations are done inside of the TPM itself and only the results are exposed This prevents the key from getting compromised In case you want to know why it is important to have this dedicated functionality separated in a dedicated device I recommend you to read the following two articles These should make it obvious how impor-tant it is to have a dedicated secure element like a TPM inside a computing device to make it secure trustable and reliable
So how can incidents like these be prevented Use technology that creates secured code and licenses that can be bound to a secure element in the target system ensuring that the code and the licensed features can only be used on an individual system License creation and deployment can be integrated into existing business processes such as ERP systems or e-commerce platforms This mechanism opens up new business models such as feature-on-demand upselling and time-based or pay-per-use licenses for the IoT and other intelligent devices The result is improved security from attacks malware theft and other malfeasance for code and IP

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) promises to deliver a step change in efficiency and a leap towards
autonomy for industrial automation and other sectors such as security and surveillance and building management
The prospect of self-monitoring self-managing factories and manufacturing processes is no longer beyond the
distant horizon The ability to remotely identify monitor and control every individual device in a manufacturing
process network with minimal or no human intervention offers opportunities that were beyond comprehension just
a decade ago ndash even in the eyes of engineers working at the very forefront of industrial manufacturing technology
Advances in sensing connectivity and control fuel IIoT designsBy Wiren Perera
The key drivers of the IIoT are more measurement of an expanding number of parameters fast and extensive analysis of and reactions to data and accelerated enhancements to processes Successful IIoT design and management can mean continuously optimized efficiency reduced operating costs and more resilient self-learning processes At the fulcrum of this are a number of semiconductor technolo-gies on offer and in development at some of the worldrsquos top electronic component manufacturers
Vision-based sensing and energy harvestingSensors are at the heart of the IIoT gathering more and more data But to measure more we need to sense more ndash more parameters more accurately and more often Overlaying software on established technologies can bring incremental gains but to make the necessary advances we need to add more parameters with accuracy as each additional parameter can make a system smarter
Sensor technology that measures ldquotraditionalrdquo parameters such as temperature light position level humidity and pressure continues to advance But despite becoming smaller more cost-effective and often embedded each sensor is dedicated and hence limited in its functionality and versatility Vision-based sensing enables a new paradigm Corollary to the concept of ldquoa picture is worth a thousand wordsrdquo once a machine can ldquoseerdquo much more is possible much faster
With vision sensing programmability brings flexibility enabling a single vision system to sense missing or misplaced components and other process vari-ables The trend towards vision-based sensing ndash both still and video ndash will make future systems more intelligent flexible and ultimately more valuable
Current advances in machine vision in many situations can provide better sight than the human eye Coupled with the reduction in risks associated with human error it enables a new degree of adapt-ability and speed for reconfigurable production processes This could be any-thing from optimization based on real-time events to the reconfiguration of a system that may allow multiple products to be made on a single line They only require a simple change from one control
12 IoT Design Guide 2016 wwwiotdesignembedded-computingcom
FIGURE 1 ON Semiconductorrsquos Smart Passive Sensor family are wireless energy harvesting sensors that can function autonomously in space-constrained environments
program to the next and the system is ready to run This has obvious cost time and labor benefits and reduces the risks associated with error
However the distributed nature of the IIoT and the requirement to place mul-tiple sensors at various points of mea-surement presents another challenge the reliable delivery of power
Successful sensors especially those utilized in IIoT designs have four basic attributes they need to be self-pow-ered collect data broadcast their status and have the ability to connect Wireless sensors with the ability to harvest energy (ie self-powered) are essential if the IIoT is to advance and realize its potential Wireless energy harvesting solutions such as ON Semiconductorrsquos Smart Passive Sensors are an example of technology that can meet these require-ments (Figure 1) These devices can be deployed in hard-to-access space- constrained environments with no direct power source allowing them to function autonomously
Instant access to dataSensors gather data and then post-pro-cessing and analytics generate valuable information along with the ability to control factories and processes
The processing of large sustained flows of data associated with real-time sensing for the IIoT is reliant on the cloud This analysis requires platforms that can store large data sets across distributed clus-ters often combining and processing data from many geographically dis-persed sources In global organizations for example a problem in a Chinese smart factory can trigger an almost in- stantaneous process improvement in a similar factory located somewhere else in the world
Advances in secure communications and authentication also allow mobile devices to connect to these networks bringing opportunities for instantaneous access to information Flexible access can then drive value into the business and its relationships with the outside world In
fact this IToperational technology (OT) integration as shown in Figure 2 has the potential to bring the greatest benefits to a broad range of industrial automation applications
Combining sensing connectivity and actuationMany industrial control systems are very sophisticated and require accurate or careful often rapid positioning This could mean anything from the speed and direction of a cooling fan to a motor or servo that adjusts a valve position or a stepper motor for linear or angular positioning in a precision task Alongside the rapid development of sensing for the IIoT the actuators and their controllers that provide the physical reac-tions to gathered analyzed data are seeing similar advancements
However integrated manufacturing processes require a broad range of sensing tech-nologies be combined with connectivity and actuation which creates design and expertise challenges Fully integrated hardware and software development platforms that combine these elements are crucial to help speed and ease the customization of specific functions for adoption into end products Modularity makes these platforms extensible to new IoTIIoT functions and devices that are based on new advances allowing more rapid adoption (Figure 3 page 14) Open-source support is also impor-tant since a broad ecosystem and interoperability are crucial for the IoTrsquos success
FIGURE 2 ITOT integration will yield benefits to industrial automation companies through the concatenation of distributed personnel and assets

Sensors data processing and actuators are all significant building blocks of an IIoT application However without a means to communicate share data and transmit receive and execute instructions the IIoT cannot function
Considering the IIoTrsquos unique requirements not all standards and protocols are satis-factory The technologies suitable for smartphone personal area networks (PANs) or single-supplier standards are unlikely to be successful Instead itrsquos important for IIoT
platforms to demonstrate flexibility by supporting a broad array of standards including Thread SIGFOX EnOcean M-Bus KNX ZigBee and proprietary protocols The adoption of a software-defined radio (SDR) approach allows a single platform to support multiple pro-tocols which will be a requirement for platforms designed support multiple applications
ZigBee and Thread are complementary 802154 standards and a liaison relationship between the two industry organizations should help drive broad adoption of these protocols within smart home applications Thread is an IP-based (IPv6) networking protocol built on open standards for low-power mesh networks that can easily and securely connect hundreds of devices to each other and directly to the cloud Security and interoperability are two of Threadrsquos key value-added capabilities
Conversely SIGFOX enables wide-area networks (WANs) that provide relatively low bandwidth communications with fixed or mobile smart objects or sensors deployed over large areas Example applications for this protocol include the nationwide tracking of shipping containers or vehicles and communication with geographically spread assets such as smart-city equipment or oil pumps and pipelines
Technology convergence for the IIoTAt the core of achieving the IIoTrsquos true potential will be the effective interplay and connection of sensing computing and control technologies in robust energy-efficient implementations Every facet of technology is evolving towards this goal with both discrete solutions and integrated development platforms that are enabling embedded and IoT design engineers to transform yester-dayrsquos vision of automated self- managing industry into todayrsquos reality

IoT developers often consider faster time-to-market and lower product maintenance costs when deploying firmware update mechanisms as the capability allows them to stage feature roll-outs enabledisable features or functionality on devices in the field fix firmware bugs after a product has been released reduce the need for expensive technical support and enable better overall end user experiences However if proper security measures are not in place this feature may be misused and the consequences of a successful exploitation can be disastrous ranging from intellectual property (IP) theft and product cloning all the way to unauthor-ized control of the deployed system For example a successful exploitation of firmware update mechanisms that do not support verifying a new firmware imagersquos authenticity in a hospital drug pump can lead to a hacker tampering with the dos-ages of drugs delivered to patients
Firmware updates and their vulnerabilitiesFigure 1 shows a typical firmware update process The steps include
1 The product manufacturer creates and loads an initial firmware image into the device in a trusted environment
2 The product is deployed with the initial firmware into the field
3 When a firmware update is required the product manufacturer creates a new firmware image
4 The manufacturer sends the new firmware image to the end usertechnician or to the product directly through an untrusted communication channel
5 The new firmware is loaded onto the device in the field
In Figure 1 potential security threats are apparent during the ldquotransportrdquo phase when new firmware is transferred via an untrusted communication channel or during the ldquofirmware loadingrdquo phase when the new firmware is downloaded onto the device in the field
The new firmware image being down-loaded to the device corresponds to the IP of the product manufacturer and the target asset Threats to this asset include
1 Reverse engineering of the firmware binary image into assembly or a higher level engineering language to analyze its functionality and contents
2 Product cloning where a firmware image from the product manufacturer is loaded onto a device that is not authorized
3 Alteration of the firmware distributed by the product manufacturer
4 Loading an unauthorized firmware image onto the device which may correspond to an older firmware version from the product manufacturer with known bugs or code created by an unauthorized party or firmware not intended for the specific device (firmware downgrading)
5 Interrupting the firmware update process such that the firmware is only partially updated resulting in a device being unavailable for service
It is evident that the aforementioned threats can have disastrous conse-quences for the product manufacturer service provider and end user thus indi-cating an intense need for embedded designers to strongly consider measures that increase the overall security of the firmware update mechanism

Secure firmware update considerations for ultra-low power MCUsBy Bhargavi Nisarga and Luis Reynoso
16 IoT Design Guide 2016 wwwiotdesignembedded-computingcom
In-field firmware updates are an increasingly
popular feature in microcontroller-based
(MCU-based) applications These updates
enable new firmware images to be downloaded
onto a devicersquos memory providing an effective way
for product manufacturers to offer services and support to products that are already deployed in the
field The Internet of Things (IoT) era is driving increased connectivity in the embedded world making
this one of the most crucial features for todayrsquos connected products ndash so long as they are secure
Secure firmware update considerations for design engineersFigure 2 shows an example representation of network-connected systems In this case the new firmware image is transferred either from the product manufacturer
FIGURE 2A secure firmware update includes security measures dictated by the interface protocols used for network communications as well as application-level security that ensures firmware images are secured before data enters the network
FIGURE 1 Shown here is a typical firmware update process
(eg a new feature roll-out or firmware bug fix) or the service provider (eg to enabledisable features or services in a product) to the end nodes over local or wide area networks (LANsWANs) and may involve authentication from end user applications (eg via mobile devices and web applications) to per-form the firmware update
Embedded systems engineers designing firmware update capabilities for IoT sys-tems need to not only understand the assets that need to be protected and the potential threats but also the capa-bilities and limitations of their system especially as they pertain to cost per-formance or power consumption in constrained systems As a starting point an effective security solution that incor-porates the right combination of crypto-graphic algorithms and protocol-level measures must be considered
Cryptographic algorithms provide a means of protecting the privacy of con-tent while ensuring its authenticity and integrity Not all cryptographic algo-rithms are the same but they are based on four cryptographic primitives that handle one or more components of the con-fidentiality integrity and authenticity (CIA) triad These primitives are
1 Encryption and decryption Encryption is the process by which data (plaintext) is transformed into something random and meaningless (ciphertext) while decryption performs the opposite job These primitives provide both confidentiality and authenticity and are used to prevent the reverse engineering of firmware
2 One-way functions Functions such as hash are mathematical algorithms that are easy to calculate in one direction but difficult in the other They are used to obtain a digital ldquofingerprintrdquo that ensures the integrity of firmware before it is transported into the field

3 Digital signatures Used to detect if a message was altered after it was signed thus providing not only integrity but also authentication These make use of public-key cryptography to generate a signature that can only be properly decrypted using the manufacturerrsquos public key
4 Message authentication code (MAC) Similar to a digital signature except that it uses symmetric keys to encrypt and decrypt a hash generated by the manufacturer If the hash value decrypted by the receiver matches the hash value calculated for the message then the message is valid In this way MACs provide both authenticity and integrity
Some factors that influence the selection of cryptographic algorithms include performance requirements the security needs of the system memory footprint energy consumption and reliability and acceptance of the algorithm by the security
community (such as organizations like the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST))
In addition to cryptographic algorithms protocol-level measures against threats such as firmware downgrading should be considered As mentioned previ-ously firmware downgrading is an attack in which an older defective firm-ware image (encrypted or not) is re-sent to a device in order to revert it to a vul-nerable state A version check of both the firmware and keys can ensure that only new versions are programmed during an update
An attacker can also interrupt a firmware update process using several methods (power loss physical connection failure bits flipped during transmission etc) This can lead to a device executing an incomplete or invalid firmware image rendering it useless or in a compromised state In order to address this scenario firmware update mechanisms need to ensure that an incomplete or corrupted image is not executed and if neces-sary should revert the system to a valid previously used image
Cryptographic bootloaders for connected embedded systemsFirmware updates are typically handled by the device bootloader A bootloader is a piece of code that resides on device memory and has the ability to reprogram the application memory space However finding or creating an embedded boot-loader with the security required for network-connected systems can be challenging For example a system may need the ability to update cryptographic keys so cryptographic functions and a bootloader protocol should support upgrading keys and increased network security during the firmware update pro-cess The bootloader protocol should also accommodate verifying firmware update versions and packet tracking to check if all packets of a specific firmware update image were received
As discussed the selection of a crypto-graphic algorithm is critical because it not only sets the level of security of the sys- tem but it also impacts its performance

Crypto-Bootloader solution imple-mented on MSP430FR5969 devices encapsulates most of the security fea-tures and considerations outlined here (Figure 3)
Securing firmware for the Internet of ThingsIn summary increasingly network embedded products are creating the potential for advanced security threats making in-field firmware updates more vulnerable to remote attacks and exploitations Therefore it is important for embedded designers to consider securing their firmware update mecha-nisms through solutions that provide the right level of security while balancing the cost power and performance con-straints of IoT products

memory footprint and power consump-tion With this in mind AES-CCM repre-sents an optimal solution for embedded bootloaders AES-CCM is a cryptographic bootloader (Crypto-Bootloader) built on two cryptographic primitives AES Counter Mode (AES-CTR) for encryp-tion and cipher block chaining message
authentication code (CBC-MAC) for integrity and authenticity verification Due to the low overhead provided by AES-CCM it provides a perfect balance between increased security and low memory footprint high throughput and efficient power consumption
The selection of an MCU implementing the bootloader should not be over-looked either Designers should con-sider MCUs with features like hardware encryption engines a memory protec-tion unit (MPU) low-power peripherals and memory technologies that allow fast readwrite cycles for increased throughput The MSP430FR5969 MCU from Texas Instruments is an example of such an MCU that integrates an AES-256 co-processor to accelerate encryption algorithms MPU and MPU-IP encap-sulation (MPU-IPE) modules to enable increased protection and encapsulation of memory regions as well as up to 64 KB of FRAM memory for high performance and ultra-low power consumption The
MSP430FR5969 MCUs integrate a Crypto-Bootloader as well as MPUMPU-IPE modules and an AES-256 security co-processor

Herersquos the thing The IoT doesnrsquot need PoCs
I made this statement the other day in a product development team meeting and received looks of shock and disbelief The company with whom I was working has customers asking for help solving a specific problem and we had a multi-disciplinary team reviewing the architecture for a solution The looks I got said ldquoHow can we begin a product development without a PoCrdquo The answer is easy when you consider the definition of a PoC
According to Wikipedia ldquoA proof of concept is a realization of a certain method or idea to demonstrate its feasibility or a demonstration in principle whose purpose is to verify that some concept or theory has the potential of being used A proof of concept is usually small and may or may not be completerdquo
ldquoFeasibilityrdquo is the key word here Feasibility is the role of technology in the Innovation Venn diagram (Figure 1) Is the product technically feasible Can we even make innovation function For the most part after nearly 15 cycles of Moorersquos law and two generations of the Internet this means ldquoDoes the product violate the laws of physicsrdquo
Today particularly in the IoT ecosystem anything is feasible Further one could argue that if the product is a pure software or Internet play it is by definition feasible
The harder questions for new prod-ucts today are the other two parts of the Innovation Venn Is the product
Gateway
I have heard complaints from several Internet of Things (IoT) sales and business leaders about how
proofs-of-concept (PoCs) are slowing them down In some cases they are just frustrated with how often
they are told ldquoWe need to do a PoCrdquo by a development team in response to a request to begin a new product
or offering development In other cases they are frustrated with how the tools used for PoCs ndash development
kits or Maker-ware devices like Arduino and Raspberry Pi ndash prevent them and their customers from deploying
scalable solutions once the concept is proven

desirable If so at what price Is the business viable These are the tough questions facing new offerings today
Therersquos the rub A PoC does nothing to address user desirability or busi-ness viability A PoC only addresses technology
ldquoYoursquove just renamed the PoC as a prototyperdquo you say But therersquos a big difference between the two
In a PoC the developer is not con-strained by manufacturing costs or user acceptance The issue is simple Can I make this offering work Maker tools are excellent for this This is one of the reasons by the way that when one looks for Maker products most of the suppliers are targeting educational organizations Education is about one example one proof that something works one PoC
A prototype however is the first itera-tion of the new product A prototype is built to a product requirements docu-ment (PRD) and that PRD has manu-facturing supply chain constraints certification constraints user experience needs and cost expectations One-off tools like Arduino or Raspberry Pi were not designed for these constraints So when a product development is started with a PoC and uses Maker tools the

The IoT has put a slightly different spin on the product development process because of the addition of an ongoing user-supported experience Business models depend upon ongoing revenue so innovators have to address this need during development This is the role of the pilot The pilot puts the product in a sales-ready format into the hands of enough users in context to measure their adoption of sustained use of and willingness to pay for the product Figure 2 outlines the roles of PoCs prototypes and pilots in the product development process The fastest progression for product development for the IoT is PoC rarr Prototype(s) rarr Pilot rarr Product

Sometimes small changes make a big difference Switching your organizationrsquos thinking from proof-of-concept to proof-of-innovation is one of those changes
Three ways to tell you are wasting time with a PoC1 Examples of the offering exist in
either the lab or with competitors ndash Note that the example can be in other applications or markets For example self-driving cars moved immediately to prototypes because auto-piloted airplanes and drones provided the proof that the technology works for autonomous vehicle operations
2 No new hardware is needed ndash If your new offering depends upon the integration or is a software appli-cation of data then you are not doing a PoC Your technology is feasible it just may not be desirable or viable
3 None of the questions to be answered by the PoC effort involve the laws of physics
Three things that make a good pilot1 You have a sales-ready user
experience ndash An IoT pilot not only has to measure user adoption it also has to measure churn Too much churn will defeat the business To measure these characteristics with confidence across a statistically significant number of users the product must have a sales-ready user experience
2 The product is re-certification tested ndash Since the pilot product is not in fact sold it does not have to be marked UL CE FCC etc But it better be ready to mark As soon as the pilot validates adoption churn and price the sales team is going want to see products shipping so you canrsquot go back and do another spin Be ready
3 The supply chain is solid and meets cost expectations ndash The pilot will measure user adoption at price so if it is successful production will begin Production will have to deliver on that price so the supply chain must be solid
David Smith is Vice President of Engineering and Innovation at MultiTech Systems
They also know that they have to help product development teams move through prototyping to pilots quickly The prototypes can get early user feedback and allow forecasts of costs But the sweet spot of innovation is where users want the new product and are willing to pay a price that sustains the business In the IoT sustaining the business is complicated by recurring expense and revenue This is where the pilot comes in The pilot validates the product and the business model
PoCs are not bad but they are not often necessary in business today Perhaps the best example of this is a place where PoCs are the lifeblood of the company Google X Their mission is to make moon shots learn from failure and solve grand problems with approaches no one else is willing to try If your mission is similar then PoCs are great If you are under pressure to grow and generate new forms of revenue using digital technology beware the PoC

As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues its rapid pace of growth therersquos been no shortage of inflated
expectations Platforms promising to ease the development deployment and management of IoT systems are
now counted in the hundreds You might believe that all you have to do is pick a platform you like the best from
the vendor you trust the most and go build your IoT system Well the story is not so simple
In reality nearly all of the IoT platforms available are designed to only support cloud-centric architectures These platforms centralize the ldquointelligencerdquo in the cloud and require data to be conveyed from the edge to do anything useful with it Considering the success of this cloud-centric model in IT (and in some IoT applications like fleet management) you may wonder whatrsquos the big deal
Simply put cloud-centric architectures arenrsquot applicable to a large class of IoT applications Most notably cloud-centric architectures fall short in supporting Industrial IoT (IIoT) sys-tems and struggle with more demanding Consumer IoT (CIoT) applications
The scariest part is that the situation will only get worse with the predicted increase in the number of connected things But there are some things more fundamental limiting cloud-centric architecturesrsquo applicability for IoT systems
Connectivity ndash Cloud-centric architectures assume that sufficient connectivity exists from the things to the cloud This is necessary for collecting the data from the edge and for pushing insight or control actions from the cloud to the edge Yet connectivity
is hard to guarantee for several IoTIIoT applications such as smart autonomous consumer and agricultural vehicles As you can imagine connectivity may be taken for granted in metropolitan areas but not so much in rural areas
Bandwidth ndash Cloud-centric computing assumes that sufficient bandwidth exists to ingest the data from the edge into the data center The challenge here is that several IIoT applications produce incredible volumes of data For instance a factory can easily produce a terabyte of data per day and these numbers will only grow with the continued digitalization of factories
Latency ndash Therersquos a large class of IIoT systems for which the latency required to send data to the cloud make decisions and eventually send data toward the edge to act on these decisions may be completely incompatible with the dynamics of the underlying system A key difference between IT and IoTIIoT is that the latter deals with physical entities As such the reaction time must be compatible with the dynamics of the physical entity or process with which the application interacts Failing to react with the proper latency can lead to system instability infrastructure damage or even put human operators at risk
Cloud
The IoT needs fog computingBy Angelo Corsaro
wwwiotdesignembedded-computingcom IoT Design Guide 2016 23
Cost ndash In the age of smartphones and very cheap data plans most people assume that the cost of connectivity is negligible The reality is quite different in IIoT due to either bandwidth requirements or connectivity points While in consumer applications the individual person (the consumer) pays for connectivity in most IoTIIoT applications (such as smart grids) itrsquos the operator who foots the bill As a result cost is usually carefully accounted for as it has an impact on operating expense and consequently on operational costs and margins
Security ndash Finally even assuming that all the above-listed issues are addressed a large class of IoTIIoT applications are not comfortable with or are incapable due to regulation of pushing their data to a cloud
Unless you can guarantee that the connectivity bandwidth latency cost and security requirements of your application are compatible with a cloud-centric architecture you need a dif-ferent paradigm and 999 percent of the IoT platforms avail-able on the market are not of much use
Fog computing is emerging as the main paradigm to address the connectivity bandwidth latency cost and security chal-lenges imposed by cloud-centric architectures The main idea behind fog computing is to provide elastic compute storage and communication close to the things so that data neednrsquot be sent all the way to the cloud or at least not all data and not all the time And the infrastructure is designed ground-up to deal with cyber- physical systems (CPS) as opposed to IT systems In other words the infrastructure is designed to consider the constraints imposed by the interactions with the physical world in terms of latency determinism load balancing and fault-tolerance
Defining fog computingTwo trends that are at the core of the IIoT revolution are soft-warization and digital twins
Softwarization is a trend that is disrupting several industries Its mantra is the replacement of specialized hardware implementa-tions such as a programmable logic controller (PLC) on an indus-trial floor with software running in a virtualized environment
Digital twins as the name hints are a digital representation (computerized model) of a physical entity (such as a compressor or a turbine) that is animated through the live data coming from its physical brother or sister Digital twins have several applications such as monitoring diagnostics and prognostics Additionally Digital twins provide useful insights to RampD teams for improving next-generation designs as well as continuously ameliorating the fidelity of their models
As softwarization transforms specialized hardware into soft-ware it creates an opportunity for convergence and consolida-tion If we take as an example soft PLCs (ie softwarized PLCs) all of a sudden they can be deployed on commodity hardware in a virtualized environment and decoupled from the IO logic that can remain closer to the source of data As a side note
the general idea of softwarization applied to the factory floor is often referred to as software-defined machines or software-defined automation
As a result of softwarization and digital twins there is an opportunity for modernizing the factory floor consolidating its hardware and improving availability productivity manage-ability resilience to failure and innovation agility In essence as a result of softwarization there is the opportunity to manage these systems as a data center As softwarization is a trend that is impacting a large class of industries it is worth highlighting that the transformations described above along with its ben-efits are not just limited to industrial automation But there is a catch the large majority of these systems whether in the industrial transportation or medical domains are subject to the performance constraints previously discussed
These systems interact with the physical world and as such they need to react at the pace imposed by the physical entity with which they interact As a consequence while traditional cloud infrastructure would be functionally perfect to address these use cases it turns out to be inadequate as it is typi-cally not designed with these non-functional requirements in mind and is often too heavyweight Cloud infrastructures were designed for IT systems in which a delay in the response time may create a bored or upset customer but will not cause a robot arm to smash against a wall another machine or worse
Now it should be clear that fog computing is not just about applying distributed computing to the edge Fog computing is about providing an infrastructure that while virtualizing elastic compute storage and communication is able to address the non-functional properties characteristic of these domains
Fog computing makes it possible to provision and manage softwarized hardware (eg a soft PLC digital twins analytics and anything else that may need to run on the system) while ensuring the proper non-functional requirements and bringing all the benefits listed above in terms of convergence manage-ability availability agility and efficiency improvement
Fog computing provides a flexible infrastructure to provision deploy monitor and manage software at the edge This should clarify how just deploying some logic on an edge gateway isnrsquot fog computing and neither is fog computing traditional dis-tributed computing

Fluid computing Unifying cloud fog and mist computingWhat is mist computing As the name implies mist is closer to the ground than fog which in turn is closer to the ground than the cloud But beside the meteorological analogies what does this really mean As yoursquove probably guessed this means that mist computing is about bringing elastic compute storage and communication directly onto the things Thus if we continue with the meteorological analogy cloud infrastructure is high in the data center fog infrastructure is between the things and the cloud and mist infrastructure is simply the things
The goals of mist computing essentially are two
1 Enabling resource harvesting by exploiting the computation storage and communication capabilities available on the things
2 Allowing arbitrary computations to be provisioned deployed managed and monitored on the things
As you can imagine things in IoT applications are extremely heterogeneous in terms of platforms resources and con-nectivity Thus the main challenge for mist infrastructures is to be sufficiently lightweight to be able to establish a fabric that virtualizes compute storage and communication without consuming too many resources
If we look from a distance at a generic IoTIIoT system we will realize that from an infrastructural perspective we will have to deal with data centers that are in a public or private cloud edge infrastructure and the actual things IoTIIoT systems will need to exploit resources that span these three tiers and provi-sion deploy monitor and manage applications and services across the tiers On the other hand if we look at the techno-logical landscape there is a complete fragmentation between the technologies used for cloud computing fog computing and the emerging mist computing This fragmentation makes it difficult to establish a unified end-to-end perspective of the system and it makes it practically impossible to treat the system as a uniform and virtualized compute storage and communication fabric
At this point the question is ldquoWhat can we do about itrdquo
The first step toward addressing a problem is recognizing it To this end that means raising awareness about the challenges that this fragmentation may induce The second step is to establish a vision of how the problem can be solved so that the industry can internalize it and eventually address it
Letrsquos focus for a moment on what would make sense for the user of an IoTIIoT platform as opposed to the technical details of whether cloud fog or mist is the right answer
From a high-level perspective why should a designer of an IoTIIoT application care whether he or she will be using cloud fog or mist computing paradigms The only thing that really matters is that the platform provides a way to provision
manage and monitor applications in such a way that appli-cations can meet their functional and non-functional require-ments The functional and non-functional requirements drive the allocation of applications on things fog or cloud layers ndash but anything else is just a detail isnrsquot it
Fluid computing is an architectural principle based on the abstraction of the topological details of the computational infrastructure Fluid architectures provide an end-to-end fabric that can be used to seamlessly provision deploy manage and monitor applications regardless of whether the underlying resource is provided by the cloud infrastructure the fog infra-structure or by things
Fluid computing unifies under a single abstraction of cloud fog and mist computing In other words cloud fog and mist computing can be seen as application of fluid computing in a specific bounded context
As the IoTIIoT market evolves expect a convergence of cloud fog and mist computing platforms toward a fluid computing platform This convergence will be necessary if not essential to accelerate the adoption of IoT

CIA and TPM to secure the IoTBy Guenther Fischer
CIA TPM and IoT You might ask what these three acronyms have in common and how they relate to each other
To make a long story short it is all about security trust and reliability
The abbreviation CIA in this context does not mean the Central Intelligence Agency It is an abbreviation for Confidentiality Integrity and Authenticity The so-called CIA principle is a simple but widely used security model covering three key tenets that should be guaranteed by all secure systems
Confidentiality is intended in the sense of hiding information from people not authorized to view it It is perhaps the most obvious aspect of the CIA model when it comes to security At the same time it is also the one most under attack Cryptographic symmetric and asymmetric encryption methods are examples of means to ensure confidentiality when transmitting data from one computer system to another
Integrity on the other hand represents the certainty that data is accurate and not changed on its journey from the original sender to the intended receiver A common security attack often called a man-in-the-middle attack intercepts data and makes changes to it before passing it on to the intended receiver Cryptographic digital signature methods are one way to attest the integrity of code and data
In addition authenticity is needed to address the concern about genuine information In other words you want to make sure the information you receive actually comes from the source that claims to be its genuine origin Cryptographic digital certificates are used to prove the authenticity of the issuer
Now that we understand why CIA is important for a secure system letrsquos move to the third acronym IoT
After many years of being an overhyped marketing term the so-called Internet of Things (IoT) is starting to become mature and real Mark Weiser created the term ldquoubiquitous computingrdquo first in his famous Scientific American article ldquoThe Computer for the 21st Centuryrdquo pub lished September 1991 His thinking was so ahead of his time that it seemed like science fiction to most of his readers In 2016 his vision has become reality Ubiquitous computing (or ubicomp for short) became todayrsquos ndash perhaps overhyped ndash IoT
Weiser started his article ldquoThe most profound technologies are those that disappear They weave themselves into the fabric of

everyday life until they are indistinguishable from itrdquo He pre-dicted that computing devices would become commonplace and part of all aspects of life and he was right Just consider for example the consumer gadgets like fitness bands smart watches smart phones or navigation systems that send and receive data all day long Or consider the home which is con-nected to a power grid where a smart meter allows the energy provider to effectively calculate the resources needed to cover the demand of all households Interconnected computing devices are everywhere nowadays
Shifting focus to industrial applications todayrsquos business IoT applications are developed together with devices and services coming from various sectors of industry information tech-nology automation and production technology aerospace maritime and naval systems railways car manufacturers and their suppliers energy providers agricultural medical tech-nology and building automation All of those share character-istics including long life in the field reliability and robustness in harsh environments and reliable long-term availability
IoT systems rely on public networks but public networks are not secure environments While IoT creates new capabilities and services allows greater efficiencies increases flexibility and enables the customization of single production units it also opens up previously closed systems and allows attackers to get access to those systems from the outside world
Attackers often use reverse engineering techniques to iden-tify software vulnerabilities which they can exploit to create counterfeit products steal sensitive data or tamper with the device for sabotage and espionage purposes This can lead to serious and dangerous hacks as recent attacks on safety-critical automotive aerospace and medical components have shown
This brings us back to the CIA principle we started with The only way to avoid situations like those listed above is to apply

the CIA security model to the world of IoT devices As we have learned CIA is built around cryprograhic operations Todayrsquos modern cryprography leverages standard crypto protocols The Dutch cryptographer Auguste Kerckhoffs stated a maxim in the 19th century that would become known as Kerckhoffsrsquo principle A cryptosystem should be secure even if everything about the system except for the key is public knowledge
I repeat everything is public knowledge except for the key which is needed to encrypt and decrypt the content either directly or in a derived form So how do you store a key in a secure manner This brings me to the second acronym TPM the Trusted Platform Module
In the world of cryptography there is a ton of other acronyms referring to the various protocols and methods that are used to ensure the CIA principle To name just a few of them you have DES AES for symmetric cryptography and RSA ECC for asymmetric cryptography The list of acronyms goes on and on The really important part however is that the algorithms themselves are typically not secret they are publicly available just as Kerckhoffsrsquo principle demands it The only part that really needs to be kept secret is the key itself This sounds simple but it is pretty hard to achieve To keep the key secret you need a secure place like a safe which we will call a secure element to securely store the key A TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is such a secure element and it offers a lot more including the crypto protocols
In a nutshell a TPM is a specialized and dedicated device that offers crypto operations and secure storage for secret keys all in one This allows you to store the key in a secure place and even more importantly it allows the key to stay there so it never leaves its secure location All important crypto operations are done inside of the TPM itself and only the results are exposed This prevents the key from getting compromised In case you want to know why it is important to have this dedicated functionality separated in a dedicated device I recommend you to read the following two articles These should make it obvious how impor-tant it is to have a dedicated secure element like a TPM inside a computing device to make it secure trustable and reliable
So how can incidents like these be prevented Use technology that creates secured code and licenses that can be bound to a secure element in the target system ensuring that the code and the licensed features can only be used on an individual system License creation and deployment can be integrated into existing business processes such as ERP systems or e-commerce platforms This mechanism opens up new business models such as feature-on-demand upselling and time-based or pay-per-use licenses for the IoT and other intelligent devices The result is improved security from attacks malware theft and other malfeasance for code and IP

FIGURE 1 ON Semiconductorrsquos Smart Passive Sensor family are wireless energy harvesting sensors that can function autonomously in space-constrained environments
program to the next and the system is ready to run This has obvious cost time and labor benefits and reduces the risks associated with error
However the distributed nature of the IIoT and the requirement to place mul-tiple sensors at various points of mea-surement presents another challenge the reliable delivery of power
Successful sensors especially those utilized in IIoT designs have four basic attributes they need to be self-pow-ered collect data broadcast their status and have the ability to connect Wireless sensors with the ability to harvest energy (ie self-powered) are essential if the IIoT is to advance and realize its potential Wireless energy harvesting solutions such as ON Semiconductorrsquos Smart Passive Sensors are an example of technology that can meet these require-ments (Figure 1) These devices can be deployed in hard-to-access space- constrained environments with no direct power source allowing them to function autonomously
Instant access to dataSensors gather data and then post-pro-cessing and analytics generate valuable information along with the ability to control factories and processes
The processing of large sustained flows of data associated with real-time sensing for the IIoT is reliant on the cloud This analysis requires platforms that can store large data sets across distributed clus-ters often combining and processing data from many geographically dis-persed sources In global organizations for example a problem in a Chinese smart factory can trigger an almost in- stantaneous process improvement in a similar factory located somewhere else in the world
Advances in secure communications and authentication also allow mobile devices to connect to these networks bringing opportunities for instantaneous access to information Flexible access can then drive value into the business and its relationships with the outside world In
fact this IToperational technology (OT) integration as shown in Figure 2 has the potential to bring the greatest benefits to a broad range of industrial automation applications
Combining sensing connectivity and actuationMany industrial control systems are very sophisticated and require accurate or careful often rapid positioning This could mean anything from the speed and direction of a cooling fan to a motor or servo that adjusts a valve position or a stepper motor for linear or angular positioning in a precision task Alongside the rapid development of sensing for the IIoT the actuators and their controllers that provide the physical reac-tions to gathered analyzed data are seeing similar advancements
However integrated manufacturing processes require a broad range of sensing tech-nologies be combined with connectivity and actuation which creates design and expertise challenges Fully integrated hardware and software development platforms that combine these elements are crucial to help speed and ease the customization of specific functions for adoption into end products Modularity makes these platforms extensible to new IoTIIoT functions and devices that are based on new advances allowing more rapid adoption (Figure 3 page 14) Open-source support is also impor-tant since a broad ecosystem and interoperability are crucial for the IoTrsquos success
FIGURE 2 ITOT integration will yield benefits to industrial automation companies through the concatenation of distributed personnel and assets

Sensors data processing and actuators are all significant building blocks of an IIoT application However without a means to communicate share data and transmit receive and execute instructions the IIoT cannot function
Considering the IIoTrsquos unique requirements not all standards and protocols are satis-factory The technologies suitable for smartphone personal area networks (PANs) or single-supplier standards are unlikely to be successful Instead itrsquos important for IIoT
platforms to demonstrate flexibility by supporting a broad array of standards including Thread SIGFOX EnOcean M-Bus KNX ZigBee and proprietary protocols The adoption of a software-defined radio (SDR) approach allows a single platform to support multiple pro-tocols which will be a requirement for platforms designed support multiple applications
ZigBee and Thread are complementary 802154 standards and a liaison relationship between the two industry organizations should help drive broad adoption of these protocols within smart home applications Thread is an IP-based (IPv6) networking protocol built on open standards for low-power mesh networks that can easily and securely connect hundreds of devices to each other and directly to the cloud Security and interoperability are two of Threadrsquos key value-added capabilities
Conversely SIGFOX enables wide-area networks (WANs) that provide relatively low bandwidth communications with fixed or mobile smart objects or sensors deployed over large areas Example applications for this protocol include the nationwide tracking of shipping containers or vehicles and communication with geographically spread assets such as smart-city equipment or oil pumps and pipelines
Technology convergence for the IIoTAt the core of achieving the IIoTrsquos true potential will be the effective interplay and connection of sensing computing and control technologies in robust energy-efficient implementations Every facet of technology is evolving towards this goal with both discrete solutions and integrated development platforms that are enabling embedded and IoT design engineers to transform yester-dayrsquos vision of automated self- managing industry into todayrsquos reality

IoT developers often consider faster time-to-market and lower product maintenance costs when deploying firmware update mechanisms as the capability allows them to stage feature roll-outs enabledisable features or functionality on devices in the field fix firmware bugs after a product has been released reduce the need for expensive technical support and enable better overall end user experiences However if proper security measures are not in place this feature may be misused and the consequences of a successful exploitation can be disastrous ranging from intellectual property (IP) theft and product cloning all the way to unauthor-ized control of the deployed system For example a successful exploitation of firmware update mechanisms that do not support verifying a new firmware imagersquos authenticity in a hospital drug pump can lead to a hacker tampering with the dos-ages of drugs delivered to patients
Firmware updates and their vulnerabilitiesFigure 1 shows a typical firmware update process The steps include
1 The product manufacturer creates and loads an initial firmware image into the device in a trusted environment
2 The product is deployed with the initial firmware into the field
3 When a firmware update is required the product manufacturer creates a new firmware image
4 The manufacturer sends the new firmware image to the end usertechnician or to the product directly through an untrusted communication channel
5 The new firmware is loaded onto the device in the field
In Figure 1 potential security threats are apparent during the ldquotransportrdquo phase when new firmware is transferred via an untrusted communication channel or during the ldquofirmware loadingrdquo phase when the new firmware is downloaded onto the device in the field
The new firmware image being down-loaded to the device corresponds to the IP of the product manufacturer and the target asset Threats to this asset include
1 Reverse engineering of the firmware binary image into assembly or a higher level engineering language to analyze its functionality and contents
2 Product cloning where a firmware image from the product manufacturer is loaded onto a device that is not authorized
3 Alteration of the firmware distributed by the product manufacturer
4 Loading an unauthorized firmware image onto the device which may correspond to an older firmware version from the product manufacturer with known bugs or code created by an unauthorized party or firmware not intended for the specific device (firmware downgrading)
5 Interrupting the firmware update process such that the firmware is only partially updated resulting in a device being unavailable for service
It is evident that the aforementioned threats can have disastrous conse-quences for the product manufacturer service provider and end user thus indi-cating an intense need for embedded designers to strongly consider measures that increase the overall security of the firmware update mechanism

Secure firmware update considerations for ultra-low power MCUsBy Bhargavi Nisarga and Luis Reynoso
16 IoT Design Guide 2016 wwwiotdesignembedded-computingcom
In-field firmware updates are an increasingly
popular feature in microcontroller-based
(MCU-based) applications These updates
enable new firmware images to be downloaded
onto a devicersquos memory providing an effective way
for product manufacturers to offer services and support to products that are already deployed in the
field The Internet of Things (IoT) era is driving increased connectivity in the embedded world making
this one of the most crucial features for todayrsquos connected products ndash so long as they are secure
Secure firmware update considerations for design engineersFigure 2 shows an example representation of network-connected systems In this case the new firmware image is transferred either from the product manufacturer
FIGURE 2A secure firmware update includes security measures dictated by the interface protocols used for network communications as well as application-level security that ensures firmware images are secured before data enters the network
FIGURE 1 Shown here is a typical firmware update process
(eg a new feature roll-out or firmware bug fix) or the service provider (eg to enabledisable features or services in a product) to the end nodes over local or wide area networks (LANsWANs) and may involve authentication from end user applications (eg via mobile devices and web applications) to per-form the firmware update
Embedded systems engineers designing firmware update capabilities for IoT sys-tems need to not only understand the assets that need to be protected and the potential threats but also the capa-bilities and limitations of their system especially as they pertain to cost per-formance or power consumption in constrained systems As a starting point an effective security solution that incor-porates the right combination of crypto-graphic algorithms and protocol-level measures must be considered
Cryptographic algorithms provide a means of protecting the privacy of con-tent while ensuring its authenticity and integrity Not all cryptographic algo-rithms are the same but they are based on four cryptographic primitives that handle one or more components of the con-fidentiality integrity and authenticity (CIA) triad These primitives are
1 Encryption and decryption Encryption is the process by which data (plaintext) is transformed into something random and meaningless (ciphertext) while decryption performs the opposite job These primitives provide both confidentiality and authenticity and are used to prevent the reverse engineering of firmware
2 One-way functions Functions such as hash are mathematical algorithms that are easy to calculate in one direction but difficult in the other They are used to obtain a digital ldquofingerprintrdquo that ensures the integrity of firmware before it is transported into the field

3 Digital signatures Used to detect if a message was altered after it was signed thus providing not only integrity but also authentication These make use of public-key cryptography to generate a signature that can only be properly decrypted using the manufacturerrsquos public key
4 Message authentication code (MAC) Similar to a digital signature except that it uses symmetric keys to encrypt and decrypt a hash generated by the manufacturer If the hash value decrypted by the receiver matches the hash value calculated for the message then the message is valid In this way MACs provide both authenticity and integrity
Some factors that influence the selection of cryptographic algorithms include performance requirements the security needs of the system memory footprint energy consumption and reliability and acceptance of the algorithm by the security
community (such as organizations like the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST))
In addition to cryptographic algorithms protocol-level measures against threats such as firmware downgrading should be considered As mentioned previ-ously firmware downgrading is an attack in which an older defective firm-ware image (encrypted or not) is re-sent to a device in order to revert it to a vul-nerable state A version check of both the firmware and keys can ensure that only new versions are programmed during an update
An attacker can also interrupt a firmware update process using several methods (power loss physical connection failure bits flipped during transmission etc) This can lead to a device executing an incomplete or invalid firmware image rendering it useless or in a compromised state In order to address this scenario firmware update mechanisms need to ensure that an incomplete or corrupted image is not executed and if neces-sary should revert the system to a valid previously used image
Cryptographic bootloaders for connected embedded systemsFirmware updates are typically handled by the device bootloader A bootloader is a piece of code that resides on device memory and has the ability to reprogram the application memory space However finding or creating an embedded boot-loader with the security required for network-connected systems can be challenging For example a system may need the ability to update cryptographic keys so cryptographic functions and a bootloader protocol should support upgrading keys and increased network security during the firmware update pro-cess The bootloader protocol should also accommodate verifying firmware update versions and packet tracking to check if all packets of a specific firmware update image were received
As discussed the selection of a crypto-graphic algorithm is critical because it not only sets the level of security of the sys- tem but it also impacts its performance

Crypto-Bootloader solution imple-mented on MSP430FR5969 devices encapsulates most of the security fea-tures and considerations outlined here (Figure 3)
Securing firmware for the Internet of ThingsIn summary increasingly network embedded products are creating the potential for advanced security threats making in-field firmware updates more vulnerable to remote attacks and exploitations Therefore it is important for embedded designers to consider securing their firmware update mecha-nisms through solutions that provide the right level of security while balancing the cost power and performance con-straints of IoT products

memory footprint and power consump-tion With this in mind AES-CCM repre-sents an optimal solution for embedded bootloaders AES-CCM is a cryptographic bootloader (Crypto-Bootloader) built on two cryptographic primitives AES Counter Mode (AES-CTR) for encryp-tion and cipher block chaining message
authentication code (CBC-MAC) for integrity and authenticity verification Due to the low overhead provided by AES-CCM it provides a perfect balance between increased security and low memory footprint high throughput and efficient power consumption
The selection of an MCU implementing the bootloader should not be over-looked either Designers should con-sider MCUs with features like hardware encryption engines a memory protec-tion unit (MPU) low-power peripherals and memory technologies that allow fast readwrite cycles for increased throughput The MSP430FR5969 MCU from Texas Instruments is an example of such an MCU that integrates an AES-256 co-processor to accelerate encryption algorithms MPU and MPU-IP encap-sulation (MPU-IPE) modules to enable increased protection and encapsulation of memory regions as well as up to 64 KB of FRAM memory for high performance and ultra-low power consumption The
MSP430FR5969 MCUs integrate a Crypto-Bootloader as well as MPUMPU-IPE modules and an AES-256 security co-processor

Herersquos the thing The IoT doesnrsquot need PoCs
I made this statement the other day in a product development team meeting and received looks of shock and disbelief The company with whom I was working has customers asking for help solving a specific problem and we had a multi-disciplinary team reviewing the architecture for a solution The looks I got said ldquoHow can we begin a product development without a PoCrdquo The answer is easy when you consider the definition of a PoC
According to Wikipedia ldquoA proof of concept is a realization of a certain method or idea to demonstrate its feasibility or a demonstration in principle whose purpose is to verify that some concept or theory has the potential of being used A proof of concept is usually small and may or may not be completerdquo
ldquoFeasibilityrdquo is the key word here Feasibility is the role of technology in the Innovation Venn diagram (Figure 1) Is the product technically feasible Can we even make innovation function For the most part after nearly 15 cycles of Moorersquos law and two generations of the Internet this means ldquoDoes the product violate the laws of physicsrdquo
Today particularly in the IoT ecosystem anything is feasible Further one could argue that if the product is a pure software or Internet play it is by definition feasible
The harder questions for new prod-ucts today are the other two parts of the Innovation Venn Is the product
Gateway
I have heard complaints from several Internet of Things (IoT) sales and business leaders about how
proofs-of-concept (PoCs) are slowing them down In some cases they are just frustrated with how often
they are told ldquoWe need to do a PoCrdquo by a development team in response to a request to begin a new product
or offering development In other cases they are frustrated with how the tools used for PoCs ndash development
kits or Maker-ware devices like Arduino and Raspberry Pi ndash prevent them and their customers from deploying
scalable solutions once the concept is proven

desirable If so at what price Is the business viable These are the tough questions facing new offerings today
Therersquos the rub A PoC does nothing to address user desirability or busi-ness viability A PoC only addresses technology
ldquoYoursquove just renamed the PoC as a prototyperdquo you say But therersquos a big difference between the two
In a PoC the developer is not con-strained by manufacturing costs or user acceptance The issue is simple Can I make this offering work Maker tools are excellent for this This is one of the reasons by the way that when one looks for Maker products most of the suppliers are targeting educational organizations Education is about one example one proof that something works one PoC
A prototype however is the first itera-tion of the new product A prototype is built to a product requirements docu-ment (PRD) and that PRD has manu-facturing supply chain constraints certification constraints user experience needs and cost expectations One-off tools like Arduino or Raspberry Pi were not designed for these constraints So when a product development is started with a PoC and uses Maker tools the

development process comes to halt after the proof There is no certification path no manufacturing supply chain and no ability to meet user experience constraints ndash par-ticularly where form factor is critical
The IoT has put a slightly different spin on the product development process because of the addition of an ongoing user-supported experience Business models depend upon ongoing revenue so innovators have to address this need during development This is the role of the pilot The pilot puts the product in a sales-ready format into the hands of enough users in context to measure their adoption of sustained use of and willingness to pay for the product Figure 2 outlines the roles of PoCs prototypes and pilots in the product development process The fastest progression for product development for the IoT is PoC rarr Prototype(s) rarr Pilot rarr Product
The good news is that good suppliers of the IoT technology stack know that their offerings have to work in production have to scale and have to pass rigorous testing

Sometimes small changes make a big difference Switching your organizationrsquos thinking from proof-of-concept to proof-of-innovation is one of those changes
Three ways to tell you are wasting time with a PoC1 Examples of the offering exist in
either the lab or with competitors ndash Note that the example can be in other applications or markets For example self-driving cars moved immediately to prototypes because auto-piloted airplanes and drones provided the proof that the technology works for autonomous vehicle operations
2 No new hardware is needed ndash If your new offering depends upon the integration or is a software appli-cation of data then you are not doing a PoC Your technology is feasible it just may not be desirable or viable
3 None of the questions to be answered by the PoC effort involve the laws of physics
Three things that make a good pilot1 You have a sales-ready user
experience ndash An IoT pilot not only has to measure user adoption it also has to measure churn Too much churn will defeat the business To measure these characteristics with confidence across a statistically significant number of users the product must have a sales-ready user experience
2 The product is re-certification tested ndash Since the pilot product is not in fact sold it does not have to be marked UL CE FCC etc But it better be ready to mark As soon as the pilot validates adoption churn and price the sales team is going want to see products shipping so you canrsquot go back and do another spin Be ready
3 The supply chain is solid and meets cost expectations ndash The pilot will measure user adoption at price so if it is successful production will begin Production will have to deliver on that price so the supply chain must be solid

They also know that they have to help product development teams move through prototyping to pilots quickly The prototypes can get early user feedback and allow forecasts of costs But the sweet spot of innovation is where users want the new product and are willing to pay a price that sustains the business In the IoT sustaining the business is complicated by recurring expense and revenue This is where the pilot comes in The pilot validates the product and the business model
PoCs are not bad but they are not often necessary in business today Perhaps the best example of this is a place where PoCs are the lifeblood of the company Google X Their mission is to make moon shots learn from failure and solve grand problems with approaches no one else is willing to try If your mission is similar then PoCs are great If you are under pressure to grow and generate new forms of revenue using digital technology beware the PoC

As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues its rapid pace of growth therersquos been no shortage of inflated
expectations Platforms promising to ease the development deployment and management of IoT systems are
now counted in the hundreds You might believe that all you have to do is pick a platform you like the best from
the vendor you trust the most and go build your IoT system Well the story is not so simple
In reality nearly all of the IoT platforms available are designed to only support cloud-centric architectures These platforms centralize the ldquointelligencerdquo in the cloud and require data to be conveyed from the edge to do anything useful with it Considering the success of this cloud-centric model in IT (and in some IoT applications like fleet management) you may wonder whatrsquos the big deal
Simply put cloud-centric architectures arenrsquot applicable to a large class of IoT applications Most notably cloud-centric architectures fall short in supporting Industrial IoT (IIoT) sys-tems and struggle with more demanding Consumer IoT (CIoT) applications
The scariest part is that the situation will only get worse with the predicted increase in the number of connected things But there are some things more fundamental limiting cloud-centric architecturesrsquo applicability for IoT systems
Connectivity ndash Cloud-centric architectures assume that sufficient connectivity exists from the things to the cloud This is necessary for collecting the data from the edge and for pushing insight or control actions from the cloud to the edge Yet connectivity
is hard to guarantee for several IoTIIoT applications such as smart autonomous consumer and agricultural vehicles As you can imagine connectivity may be taken for granted in metropolitan areas but not so much in rural areas
Bandwidth ndash Cloud-centric computing assumes that sufficient bandwidth exists to ingest the data from the edge into the data center The challenge here is that several IIoT applications produce incredible volumes of data For instance a factory can easily produce a terabyte of data per day and these numbers will only grow with the continued digitalization of factories
Latency ndash Therersquos a large class of IIoT systems for which the latency required to send data to the cloud make decisions and eventually send data toward the edge to act on these decisions may be completely incompatible with the dynamics of the underlying system A key difference between IT and IoTIIoT is that the latter deals with physical entities As such the reaction time must be compatible with the dynamics of the physical entity or process with which the application interacts Failing to react with the proper latency can lead to system instability infrastructure damage or even put human operators at risk

The IoT needs fog computingBy Angelo Corsaro
wwwiotdesignembedded-computingcom IoT Design Guide 2016 23
Cost ndash In the age of smartphones and very cheap data plans most people assume that the cost of connectivity is negligible The reality is quite different in IIoT due to either bandwidth requirements or connectivity points While in consumer applications the individual person (the consumer) pays for connectivity in most IoTIIoT applications (such as smart grids) itrsquos the operator who foots the bill As a result cost is usually carefully accounted for as it has an impact on operating expense and consequently on operational costs and margins
Security ndash Finally even assuming that all the above-listed issues are addressed a large class of IoTIIoT applications are not comfortable with or are incapable due to regulation of pushing their data to a cloud
Unless you can guarantee that the connectivity bandwidth latency cost and security requirements of your application are compatible with a cloud-centric architecture you need a dif-ferent paradigm and 999 percent of the IoT platforms avail-able on the market are not of much use
Fog computing is emerging as the main paradigm to address the connectivity bandwidth latency cost and security chal-lenges imposed by cloud-centric architectures The main idea behind fog computing is to provide elastic compute storage and communication close to the things so that data neednrsquot be sent all the way to the cloud or at least not all data and not all the time And the infrastructure is designed ground-up to deal with cyber- physical systems (CPS) as opposed to IT systems In other words the infrastructure is designed to consider the constraints imposed by the interactions with the physical world in terms of latency determinism load balancing and fault-tolerance
Defining fog computingTwo trends that are at the core of the IIoT revolution are soft-warization and digital twins
Softwarization is a trend that is disrupting several industries Its mantra is the replacement of specialized hardware implementa-tions such as a programmable logic controller (PLC) on an indus-trial floor with software running in a virtualized environment
Digital twins as the name hints are a digital representation (computerized model) of a physical entity (such as a compressor or a turbine) that is animated through the live data coming from its physical brother or sister Digital twins have several applications such as monitoring diagnostics and prognostics Additionally Digital twins provide useful insights to RampD teams for improving next-generation designs as well as continuously ameliorating the fidelity of their models
As softwarization transforms specialized hardware into soft-ware it creates an opportunity for convergence and consolida-tion If we take as an example soft PLCs (ie softwarized PLCs) all of a sudden they can be deployed on commodity hardware in a virtualized environment and decoupled from the IO logic that can remain closer to the source of data As a side note
the general idea of softwarization applied to the factory floor is often referred to as software-defined machines or software-defined automation
As a result of softwarization and digital twins there is an opportunity for modernizing the factory floor consolidating its hardware and improving availability productivity manage-ability resilience to failure and innovation agility In essence as a result of softwarization there is the opportunity to manage these systems as a data center As softwarization is a trend that is impacting a large class of industries it is worth highlighting that the transformations described above along with its ben-efits are not just limited to industrial automation But there is a catch the large majority of these systems whether in the industrial transportation or medical domains are subject to the performance constraints previously discussed
These systems interact with the physical world and as such they need to react at the pace imposed by the physical entity with which they interact As a consequence while traditional cloud infrastructure would be functionally perfect to address these use cases it turns out to be inadequate as it is typi-cally not designed with these non-functional requirements in mind and is often too heavyweight Cloud infrastructures were designed for IT systems in which a delay in the response time may create a bored or upset customer but will not cause a robot arm to smash against a wall another machine or worse
Now it should be clear that fog computing is not just about applying distributed computing to the edge Fog computing is about providing an infrastructure that while virtualizing elastic compute storage and communication is able to address the non-functional properties characteristic of these domains
Fog computing makes it possible to provision and manage softwarized hardware (eg a soft PLC digital twins analytics and anything else that may need to run on the system) while ensuring the proper non-functional requirements and bringing all the benefits listed above in terms of convergence manage-ability availability agility and efficiency improvement
Fog computing provides a flexible infrastructure to provision deploy monitor and manage software at the edge This should clarify how just deploying some logic on an edge gateway isnrsquot fog computing and neither is fog computing traditional dis-tributed computing

Fluid computing Unifying cloud fog and mist computingWhat is mist computing As the name implies mist is closer to the ground than fog which in turn is closer to the ground than the cloud But beside the meteorological analogies what does this really mean As yoursquove probably guessed this means that mist computing is about bringing elastic compute storage and communication directly onto the things Thus if we continue with the meteorological analogy cloud infrastructure is high in the data center fog infrastructure is between the things and the cloud and mist infrastructure is simply the things
The goals of mist computing essentially are two
1 Enabling resource harvesting by exploiting the computation storage and communication capabilities available on the things
2 Allowing arbitrary computations to be provisioned deployed managed and monitored on the things
As you can imagine things in IoT applications are extremely heterogeneous in terms of platforms resources and con-nectivity Thus the main challenge for mist infrastructures is to be sufficiently lightweight to be able to establish a fabric that virtualizes compute storage and communication without consuming too many resources
If we look from a distance at a generic IoTIIoT system we will realize that from an infrastructural perspective we will have to deal with data centers that are in a public or private cloud edge infrastructure and the actual things IoTIIoT systems will need to exploit resources that span these three tiers and provi-sion deploy monitor and manage applications and services across the tiers On the other hand if we look at the techno-logical landscape there is a complete fragmentation between the technologies used for cloud computing fog computing and the emerging mist computing This fragmentation makes it difficult to establish a unified end-to-end perspective of the system and it makes it practically impossible to treat the system as a uniform and virtualized compute storage and communication fabric
At this point the question is ldquoWhat can we do about itrdquo
The first step toward addressing a problem is recognizing it To this end that means raising awareness about the challenges that this fragmentation may induce The second step is to establish a vision of how the problem can be solved so that the industry can internalize it and eventually address it
Letrsquos focus for a moment on what would make sense for the user of an IoTIIoT platform as opposed to the technical details of whether cloud fog or mist is the right answer
From a high-level perspective why should a designer of an IoTIIoT application care whether he or she will be using cloud fog or mist computing paradigms The only thing that really matters is that the platform provides a way to provision
manage and monitor applications in such a way that appli-cations can meet their functional and non-functional require-ments The functional and non-functional requirements drive the allocation of applications on things fog or cloud layers ndash but anything else is just a detail isnrsquot it
Fluid computing is an architectural principle based on the abstraction of the topological details of the computational infrastructure Fluid architectures provide an end-to-end fabric that can be used to seamlessly provision deploy manage and monitor applications regardless of whether the underlying resource is provided by the cloud infrastructure the fog infra-structure or by things
Fluid computing unifies under a single abstraction of cloud fog and mist computing In other words cloud fog and mist computing can be seen as application of fluid computing in a specific bounded context
As the IoTIIoT market evolves expect a convergence of cloud fog and mist computing platforms toward a fluid computing platform This convergence will be necessary if not essential to accelerate the adoption of IoT

CIA and TPM to secure the IoTBy Guenther Fischer
CIA TPM and IoT You might ask what these three acronyms have in common and how they relate to each other
To make a long story short it is all about security trust and reliability
The abbreviation CIA in this context does not mean the Central Intelligence Agency It is an abbreviation for Confidentiality Integrity and Authenticity The so-called CIA principle is a simple but widely used security model covering three key tenets that should be guaranteed by all secure systems
Confidentiality is intended in the sense of hiding information from people not authorized to view it It is perhaps the most obvious aspect of the CIA model when it comes to security At the same time it is also the one most under attack Cryptographic symmetric and asymmetric encryption methods are examples of means to ensure confidentiality when transmitting data from one computer system to another
Integrity on the other hand represents the certainty that data is accurate and not changed on its journey from the original sender to the intended receiver A common security attack often called a man-in-the-middle attack intercepts data and makes changes to it before passing it on to the intended receiver Cryptographic digital signature methods are one way to attest the integrity of code and data
In addition authenticity is needed to address the concern about genuine information In other words you want to make sure the information you receive actually comes from the source that claims to be its genuine origin Cryptographic digital certificates are used to prove the authenticity of the issuer
Now that we understand why CIA is important for a secure system letrsquos move to the third acronym IoT
After many years of being an overhyped marketing term the so-called Internet of Things (IoT) is starting to become mature and real Mark Weiser created the term ldquoubiquitous computingrdquo first in his famous Scientific American article ldquoThe Computer for the 21st Centuryrdquo pub lished September 1991 His thinking was so ahead of his time that it seemed like science fiction to most of his readers In 2016 his vision has become reality Ubiquitous computing (or ubicomp for short) became todayrsquos ndash perhaps overhyped ndash IoT
Weiser started his article ldquoThe most profound technologies are those that disappear They weave themselves into the fabric of

everyday life until they are indistinguishable from itrdquo He pre-dicted that computing devices would become commonplace and part of all aspects of life and he was right Just consider for example the consumer gadgets like fitness bands smart watches smart phones or navigation systems that send and receive data all day long Or consider the home which is con-nected to a power grid where a smart meter allows the energy provider to effectively calculate the resources needed to cover the demand of all households Interconnected computing devices are everywhere nowadays
Shifting focus to industrial applications todayrsquos business IoT applications are developed together with devices and services coming from various sectors of industry information tech-nology automation and production technology aerospace maritime and naval systems railways car manufacturers and their suppliers energy providers agricultural medical tech-nology and building automation All of those share character-istics including long life in the field reliability and robustness in harsh environments and reliable long-term availability
IoT systems rely on public networks but public networks are not secure environments While IoT creates new capabilities and services allows greater efficiencies increases flexibility and enables the customization of single production units it also opens up previously closed systems and allows attackers to get access to those systems from the outside world
Attackers often use reverse engineering techniques to iden-tify software vulnerabilities which they can exploit to create counterfeit products steal sensitive data or tamper with the device for sabotage and espionage purposes This can lead to serious and dangerous hacks as recent attacks on safety-critical automotive aerospace and medical components have shown
This brings us back to the CIA principle we started with The only way to avoid situations like those listed above is to apply

the CIA security model to the world of IoT devices As we have learned CIA is built around cryprograhic operations Todayrsquos modern cryprography leverages standard crypto protocols The Dutch cryptographer Auguste Kerckhoffs stated a maxim in the 19th century that would become known as Kerckhoffsrsquo principle A cryptosystem should be secure even if everything about the system except for the key is public knowledge
I repeat everything is public knowledge except for the key which is needed to encrypt and decrypt the content either directly or in a derived form So how do you store a key in a secure manner This brings me to the second acronym TPM the Trusted Platform Module
In the world of cryptography there is a ton of other acronyms referring to the various protocols and methods that are used to ensure the CIA principle To name just a few of them you have DES AES for symmetric cryptography and RSA ECC for asymmetric cryptography The list of acronyms goes on and on The really important part however is that the algorithms themselves are typically not secret they are publicly available just as Kerckhoffsrsquo principle demands it The only part that really needs to be kept secret is the key itself This sounds simple but it is pretty hard to achieve To keep the key secret you need a secure place like a safe which we will call a secure element to securely store the key A TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is such a secure element and it offers a lot more including the crypto protocols
In a nutshell a TPM is a specialized and dedicated device that offers crypto operations and secure storage for secret keys all in one This allows you to store the key in a secure place and even more importantly it allows the key to stay there so it never leaves its secure location All important crypto operations are done inside of the TPM itself and only the results are exposed This prevents the key from getting compromised In case you want to know why it is important to have this dedicated functionality separated in a dedicated device I recommend you to read the following two articles These should make it obvious how impor-tant it is to have a dedicated secure element like a TPM inside a computing device to make it secure trustable and reliable
So how can incidents like these be prevented Use technology that creates secured code and licenses that can be bound to a secure element in the target system ensuring that the code and the licensed features can only be used on an individual system License creation and deployment can be integrated into existing business processes such as ERP systems or e-commerce platforms This mechanism opens up new business models such as feature-on-demand upselling and time-based or pay-per-use licenses for the IoT and other intelligent devices The result is improved security from attacks malware theft and other malfeasance for code and IP

Sensors data processing and actuators are all significant building blocks of an IIoT application However without a means to communicate share data and transmit receive and execute instructions the IIoT cannot function
Considering the IIoTrsquos unique requirements not all standards and protocols are satis-factory The technologies suitable for smartphone personal area networks (PANs) or single-supplier standards are unlikely to be successful Instead itrsquos important for IIoT
platforms to demonstrate flexibility by supporting a broad array of standards including Thread SIGFOX EnOcean M-Bus KNX ZigBee and proprietary protocols The adoption of a software-defined radio (SDR) approach allows a single platform to support multiple pro-tocols which will be a requirement for platforms designed support multiple applications
ZigBee and Thread are complementary 802154 standards and a liaison relationship between the two industry organizations should help drive broad adoption of these protocols within smart home applications Thread is an IP-based (IPv6) networking protocol built on open standards for low-power mesh networks that can easily and securely connect hundreds of devices to each other and directly to the cloud Security and interoperability are two of Threadrsquos key value-added capabilities
Conversely SIGFOX enables wide-area networks (WANs) that provide relatively low bandwidth communications with fixed or mobile smart objects or sensors deployed over large areas Example applications for this protocol include the nationwide tracking of shipping containers or vehicles and communication with geographically spread assets such as smart-city equipment or oil pumps and pipelines
Technology convergence for the IIoTAt the core of achieving the IIoTrsquos true potential will be the effective interplay and connection of sensing computing and control technologies in robust energy-efficient implementations Every facet of technology is evolving towards this goal with both discrete solutions and integrated development platforms that are enabling embedded and IoT design engineers to transform yester-dayrsquos vision of automated self- managing industry into todayrsquos reality

IoT developers often consider faster time-to-market and lower product maintenance costs when deploying firmware update mechanisms as the capability allows them to stage feature roll-outs enabledisable features or functionality on devices in the field fix firmware bugs after a product has been released reduce the need for expensive technical support and enable better overall end user experiences However if proper security measures are not in place this feature may be misused and the consequences of a successful exploitation can be disastrous ranging from intellectual property (IP) theft and product cloning all the way to unauthor-ized control of the deployed system For example a successful exploitation of firmware update mechanisms that do not support verifying a new firmware imagersquos authenticity in a hospital drug pump can lead to a hacker tampering with the dos-ages of drugs delivered to patients
Firmware updates and their vulnerabilitiesFigure 1 shows a typical firmware update process The steps include
1 The product manufacturer creates and loads an initial firmware image into the device in a trusted environment
2 The product is deployed with the initial firmware into the field
3 When a firmware update is required the product manufacturer creates a new firmware image
4 The manufacturer sends the new firmware image to the end usertechnician or to the product directly through an untrusted communication channel
5 The new firmware is loaded onto the device in the field
In Figure 1 potential security threats are apparent during the ldquotransportrdquo phase when new firmware is transferred via an untrusted communication channel or during the ldquofirmware loadingrdquo phase when the new firmware is downloaded onto the device in the field
The new firmware image being down-loaded to the device corresponds to the IP of the product manufacturer and the target asset Threats to this asset include
1 Reverse engineering of the firmware binary image into assembly or a higher level engineering language to analyze its functionality and contents
2 Product cloning where a firmware image from the product manufacturer is loaded onto a device that is not authorized
3 Alteration of the firmware distributed by the product manufacturer
4 Loading an unauthorized firmware image onto the device which may correspond to an older firmware version from the product manufacturer with known bugs or code created by an unauthorized party or firmware not intended for the specific device (firmware downgrading)
5 Interrupting the firmware update process such that the firmware is only partially updated resulting in a device being unavailable for service
It is evident that the aforementioned threats can have disastrous conse-quences for the product manufacturer service provider and end user thus indi-cating an intense need for embedded designers to strongly consider measures that increase the overall security of the firmware update mechanism

Secure firmware update considerations for ultra-low power MCUsBy Bhargavi Nisarga and Luis Reynoso
16 IoT Design Guide 2016 wwwiotdesignembedded-computingcom
In-field firmware updates are an increasingly
popular feature in microcontroller-based
(MCU-based) applications These updates
enable new firmware images to be downloaded
onto a devicersquos memory providing an effective way
for product manufacturers to offer services and support to products that are already deployed in the
field The Internet of Things (IoT) era is driving increased connectivity in the embedded world making
this one of the most crucial features for todayrsquos connected products ndash so long as they are secure
Secure firmware update considerations for design engineersFigure 2 shows an example representation of network-connected systems In this case the new firmware image is transferred either from the product manufacturer
FIGURE 2A secure firmware update includes security measures dictated by the interface protocols used for network communications as well as application-level security that ensures firmware images are secured before data enters the network
FIGURE 1 Shown here is a typical firmware update process
(eg a new feature roll-out or firmware bug fix) or the service provider (eg to enabledisable features or services in a product) to the end nodes over local or wide area networks (LANsWANs) and may involve authentication from end user applications (eg via mobile devices and web applications) to per-form the firmware update
Embedded systems engineers designing firmware update capabilities for IoT sys-tems need to not only understand the assets that need to be protected and the potential threats but also the capa-bilities and limitations of their system especially as they pertain to cost per-formance or power consumption in constrained systems As a starting point an effective security solution that incor-porates the right combination of crypto-graphic algorithms and protocol-level measures must be considered
Cryptographic algorithms provide a means of protecting the privacy of con-tent while ensuring its authenticity and integrity Not all cryptographic algo-rithms are the same but they are based on four cryptographic primitives that handle one or more components of the con-fidentiality integrity and authenticity (CIA) triad These primitives are
1 Encryption and decryption Encryption is the process by which data (plaintext) is transformed into something random and meaningless (ciphertext) while decryption performs the opposite job These primitives provide both confidentiality and authenticity and are used to prevent the reverse engineering of firmware
2 One-way functions Functions such as hash are mathematical algorithms that are easy to calculate in one direction but difficult in the other They are used to obtain a digital ldquofingerprintrdquo that ensures the integrity of firmware before it is transported into the field

3 Digital signatures Used to detect if a message was altered after it was signed thus providing not only integrity but also authentication These make use of public-key cryptography to generate a signature that can only be properly decrypted using the manufacturerrsquos public key
4 Message authentication code (MAC) Similar to a digital signature except that it uses symmetric keys to encrypt and decrypt a hash generated by the manufacturer If the hash value decrypted by the receiver matches the hash value calculated for the message then the message is valid In this way MACs provide both authenticity and integrity
Some factors that influence the selection of cryptographic algorithms include performance requirements the security needs of the system memory footprint energy consumption and reliability and acceptance of the algorithm by the security
community (such as organizations like the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST))
In addition to cryptographic algorithms protocol-level measures against threats such as firmware downgrading should be considered As mentioned previ-ously firmware downgrading is an attack in which an older defective firm-ware image (encrypted or not) is re-sent to a device in order to revert it to a vul-nerable state A version check of both the firmware and keys can ensure that only new versions are programmed during an update
An attacker can also interrupt a firmware update process using several methods (power loss physical connection failure bits flipped during transmission etc) This can lead to a device executing an incomplete or invalid firmware image rendering it useless or in a compromised state In order to address this scenario firmware update mechanisms need to ensure that an incomplete or corrupted image is not executed and if neces-sary should revert the system to a valid previously used image
Cryptographic bootloaders for connected embedded systemsFirmware updates are typically handled by the device bootloader A bootloader is a piece of code that resides on device memory and has the ability to reprogram the application memory space However finding or creating an embedded boot-loader with the security required for network-connected systems can be challenging For example a system may need the ability to update cryptographic keys so cryptographic functions and a bootloader protocol should support upgrading keys and increased network security during the firmware update pro-cess The bootloader protocol should also accommodate verifying firmware update versions and packet tracking to check if all packets of a specific firmware update image were received
As discussed the selection of a crypto-graphic algorithm is critical because it not only sets the level of security of the sys- tem but it also impacts its performance

Crypto-Bootloader solution imple-mented on MSP430FR5969 devices encapsulates most of the security fea-tures and considerations outlined here (Figure 3)
Securing firmware for the Internet of ThingsIn summary increasingly network embedded products are creating the potential for advanced security threats making in-field firmware updates more vulnerable to remote attacks and exploitations Therefore it is important for embedded designers to consider securing their firmware update mecha-nisms through solutions that provide the right level of security while balancing the cost power and performance con-straints of IoT products

memory footprint and power consump-tion With this in mind AES-CCM repre-sents an optimal solution for embedded bootloaders AES-CCM is a cryptographic bootloader (Crypto-Bootloader) built on two cryptographic primitives AES Counter Mode (AES-CTR) for encryp-tion and cipher block chaining message
authentication code (CBC-MAC) for integrity and authenticity verification Due to the low overhead provided by AES-CCM it provides a perfect balance between increased security and low memory footprint high throughput and efficient power consumption
The selection of an MCU implementing the bootloader should not be over-looked either Designers should con-sider MCUs with features like hardware encryption engines a memory protec-tion unit (MPU) low-power peripherals and memory technologies that allow fast readwrite cycles for increased throughput The MSP430FR5969 MCU from Texas Instruments is an example of such an MCU that integrates an AES-256 co-processor to accelerate encryption algorithms MPU and MPU-IP encap-sulation (MPU-IPE) modules to enable increased protection and encapsulation of memory regions as well as up to 64 KB of FRAM memory for high performance and ultra-low power consumption The
MSP430FR5969 MCUs integrate a Crypto-Bootloader as well as MPUMPU-IPE modules and an AES-256 security co-processor

Herersquos the thing The IoT doesnrsquot need PoCs
I made this statement the other day in a product development team meeting and received looks of shock and disbelief The company with whom I was working has customers asking for help solving a specific problem and we had a multi-disciplinary team reviewing the architecture for a solution The looks I got said ldquoHow can we begin a product development without a PoCrdquo The answer is easy when you consider the definition of a PoC
According to Wikipedia ldquoA proof of concept is a realization of a certain method or idea to demonstrate its feasibility or a demonstration in principle whose purpose is to verify that some concept or theory has the potential of being used A proof of concept is usually small and may or may not be completerdquo
ldquoFeasibilityrdquo is the key word here Feasibility is the role of technology in the Innovation Venn diagram (Figure 1) Is the product technically feasible Can we even make innovation function For the most part after nearly 15 cycles of Moorersquos law and two generations of the Internet this means ldquoDoes the product violate the laws of physicsrdquo
Today particularly in the IoT ecosystem anything is feasible Further one could argue that if the product is a pure software or Internet play it is by definition feasible
The harder questions for new prod-ucts today are the other two parts of the Innovation Venn Is the product
Gateway
I have heard complaints from several Internet of Things (IoT) sales and business leaders about how
proofs-of-concept (PoCs) are slowing them down In some cases they are just frustrated with how often
they are told ldquoWe need to do a PoCrdquo by a development team in response to a request to begin a new product
or offering development In other cases they are frustrated with how the tools used for PoCs ndash development
kits or Maker-ware devices like Arduino and Raspberry Pi ndash prevent them and their customers from deploying
scalable solutions once the concept is proven

desirable If so at what price Is the business viable These are the tough questions facing new offerings today
Therersquos the rub A PoC does nothing to address user desirability or busi-ness viability A PoC only addresses technology
ldquoYoursquove just renamed the PoC as a prototyperdquo you say But therersquos a big difference between the two
In a PoC the developer is not con-strained by manufacturing costs or user acceptance The issue is simple Can I make this offering work Maker tools are excellent for this This is one of the reasons by the way that when one looks for Maker products most of the suppliers are targeting educational organizations Education is about one example one proof that something works one PoC
A prototype however is the first itera-tion of the new product A prototype is built to a product requirements docu-ment (PRD) and that PRD has manu-facturing supply chain constraints certification constraints user experience needs and cost expectations One-off tools like Arduino or Raspberry Pi were not designed for these constraints So when a product development is started with a PoC and uses Maker tools the

development process comes to halt after the proof There is no certification path no manufacturing supply chain and no ability to meet user experience constraints ndash par-ticularly where form factor is critical
The IoT has put a slightly different spin on the product development process because of the addition of an ongoing user-supported experience Business models depend upon ongoing revenue so innovators have to address this need during development This is the role of the pilot The pilot puts the product in a sales-ready format into the hands of enough users in context to measure their adoption of sustained use of and willingness to pay for the product Figure 2 outlines the roles of PoCs prototypes and pilots in the product development process The fastest progression for product development for the IoT is PoC rarr Prototype(s) rarr Pilot rarr Product
The good news is that good suppliers of the IoT technology stack know that their offerings have to work in production have to scale and have to pass rigorous testing

Sometimes small changes make a big difference Switching your organizationrsquos thinking from proof-of-concept to proof-of-innovation is one of those changes
Three ways to tell you are wasting time with a PoC1 Examples of the offering exist in
either the lab or with competitors ndash Note that the example can be in other applications or markets For example self-driving cars moved immediately to prototypes because auto-piloted airplanes and drones provided the proof that the technology works for autonomous vehicle operations
2 No new hardware is needed ndash If your new offering depends upon the integration or is a software appli-cation of data then you are not doing a PoC Your technology is feasible it just may not be desirable or viable
3 None of the questions to be answered by the PoC effort involve the laws of physics
Three things that make a good pilot1 You have a sales-ready user
experience ndash An IoT pilot not only has to measure user adoption it also has to measure churn Too much churn will defeat the business To measure these characteristics with confidence across a statistically significant number of users the product must have a sales-ready user experience
2 The product is re-certification tested ndash Since the pilot product is not in fact sold it does not have to be marked UL CE FCC etc But it better be ready to mark As soon as the pilot validates adoption churn and price the sales team is going want to see products shipping so you canrsquot go back and do another spin Be ready
3 The supply chain is solid and meets cost expectations ndash The pilot will measure user adoption at price so if it is successful production will begin Production will have to deliver on that price so the supply chain must be solid
David Smith is Vice President of Engineering and Innovation at MultiTech Systems
They also know that they have to help product development teams move through prototyping to pilots quickly The prototypes can get early user feedback and allow forecasts of costs But the sweet spot of innovation is where users want the new product and are willing to pay a price that sustains the business In the IoT sustaining the business is complicated by recurring expense and revenue This is where the pilot comes in The pilot validates the product and the business model
PoCs are not bad but they are not often necessary in business today Perhaps the best example of this is a place where PoCs are the lifeblood of the company Google X Their mission is to make moon shots learn from failure and solve grand problems with approaches no one else is willing to try If your mission is similar then PoCs are great If you are under pressure to grow and generate new forms of revenue using digital technology beware the PoC

As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues its rapid pace of growth therersquos been no shortage of inflated
expectations Platforms promising to ease the development deployment and management of IoT systems are
now counted in the hundreds You might believe that all you have to do is pick a platform you like the best from
the vendor you trust the most and go build your IoT system Well the story is not so simple
In reality nearly all of the IoT platforms available are designed to only support cloud-centric architectures These platforms centralize the ldquointelligencerdquo in the cloud and require data to be conveyed from the edge to do anything useful with it Considering the success of this cloud-centric model in IT (and in some IoT applications like fleet management) you may wonder whatrsquos the big deal
Simply put cloud-centric architectures arenrsquot applicable to a large class of IoT applications Most notably cloud-centric architectures fall short in supporting Industrial IoT (IIoT) sys-tems and struggle with more demanding Consumer IoT (CIoT) applications
The scariest part is that the situation will only get worse with the predicted increase in the number of connected things But there are some things more fundamental limiting cloud-centric architecturesrsquo applicability for IoT systems
Connectivity ndash Cloud-centric architectures assume that sufficient connectivity exists from the things to the cloud This is necessary for collecting the data from the edge and for pushing insight or control actions from the cloud to the edge Yet connectivity
is hard to guarantee for several IoTIIoT applications such as smart autonomous consumer and agricultural vehicles As you can imagine connectivity may be taken for granted in metropolitan areas but not so much in rural areas
Bandwidth ndash Cloud-centric computing assumes that sufficient bandwidth exists to ingest the data from the edge into the data center The challenge here is that several IIoT applications produce incredible volumes of data For instance a factory can easily produce a terabyte of data per day and these numbers will only grow with the continued digitalization of factories
Latency ndash Therersquos a large class of IIoT systems for which the latency required to send data to the cloud make decisions and eventually send data toward the edge to act on these decisions may be completely incompatible with the dynamics of the underlying system A key difference between IT and IoTIIoT is that the latter deals with physical entities As such the reaction time must be compatible with the dynamics of the physical entity or process with which the application interacts Failing to react with the proper latency can lead to system instability infrastructure damage or even put human operators at risk

The IoT needs fog computingBy Angelo Corsaro
wwwiotdesignembedded-computingcom IoT Design Guide 2016 23
Cost ndash In the age of smartphones and very cheap data plans most people assume that the cost of connectivity is negligible The reality is quite different in IIoT due to either bandwidth requirements or connectivity points While in consumer applications the individual person (the consumer) pays for connectivity in most IoTIIoT applications (such as smart grids) itrsquos the operator who foots the bill As a result cost is usually carefully accounted for as it has an impact on operating expense and consequently on operational costs and margins
Security ndash Finally even assuming that all the above-listed issues are addressed a large class of IoTIIoT applications are not comfortable with or are incapable due to regulation of pushing their data to a cloud
Unless you can guarantee that the connectivity bandwidth latency cost and security requirements of your application are compatible with a cloud-centric architecture you need a dif-ferent paradigm and 999 percent of the IoT platforms avail-able on the market are not of much use
Fog computing is emerging as the main paradigm to address the connectivity bandwidth latency cost and security chal-lenges imposed by cloud-centric architectures The main idea behind fog computing is to provide elastic compute storage and communication close to the things so that data neednrsquot be sent all the way to the cloud or at least not all data and not all the time And the infrastructure is designed ground-up to deal with cyber- physical systems (CPS) as opposed to IT systems In other words the infrastructure is designed to consider the constraints imposed by the interactions with the physical world in terms of latency determinism load balancing and fault-tolerance
Defining fog computingTwo trends that are at the core of the IIoT revolution are soft-warization and digital twins
Softwarization is a trend that is disrupting several industries Its mantra is the replacement of specialized hardware implementa-tions such as a programmable logic controller (PLC) on an indus-trial floor with software running in a virtualized environment
Digital twins as the name hints are a digital representation (computerized model) of a physical entity (such as a compressor or a turbine) that is animated through the live data coming from its physical brother or sister Digital twins have several applications such as monitoring diagnostics and prognostics Additionally Digital twins provide useful insights to RampD teams for improving next-generation designs as well as continuously ameliorating the fidelity of their models
As softwarization transforms specialized hardware into soft-ware it creates an opportunity for convergence and consolida-tion If we take as an example soft PLCs (ie softwarized PLCs) all of a sudden they can be deployed on commodity hardware in a virtualized environment and decoupled from the IO logic that can remain closer to the source of data As a side note
the general idea of softwarization applied to the factory floor is often referred to as software-defined machines or software-defined automation
As a result of softwarization and digital twins there is an opportunity for modernizing the factory floor consolidating its hardware and improving availability productivity manage-ability resilience to failure and innovation agility In essence as a result of softwarization there is the opportunity to manage these systems as a data center As softwarization is a trend that is impacting a large class of industries it is worth highlighting that the transformations described above along with its ben-efits are not just limited to industrial automation But there is a catch the large majority of these systems whether in the industrial transportation or medical domains are subject to the performance constraints previously discussed
These systems interact with the physical world and as such they need to react at the pace imposed by the physical entity with which they interact As a consequence while traditional cloud infrastructure would be functionally perfect to address these use cases it turns out to be inadequate as it is typi-cally not designed with these non-functional requirements in mind and is often too heavyweight Cloud infrastructures were designed for IT systems in which a delay in the response time may create a bored or upset customer but will not cause a robot arm to smash against a wall another machine or worse
Now it should be clear that fog computing is not just about applying distributed computing to the edge Fog computing is about providing an infrastructure that while virtualizing elastic compute storage and communication is able to address the non-functional properties characteristic of these domains
Fog computing makes it possible to provision and manage softwarized hardware (eg a soft PLC digital twins analytics and anything else that may need to run on the system) while ensuring the proper non-functional requirements and bringing all the benefits listed above in terms of convergence manage-ability availability agility and efficiency improvement
Fog computing provides a flexible infrastructure to provision deploy monitor and manage software at the edge This should clarify how just deploying some logic on an edge gateway isnrsquot fog computing and neither is fog computing traditional dis-tributed computing

Fluid computing Unifying cloud fog and mist computingWhat is mist computing As the name implies mist is closer to the ground than fog which in turn is closer to the ground than the cloud But beside the meteorological analogies what does this really mean As yoursquove probably guessed this means that mist computing is about bringing elastic compute storage and communication directly onto the things Thus if we continue with the meteorological analogy cloud infrastructure is high in the data center fog infrastructure is between the things and the cloud and mist infrastructure is simply the things
The goals of mist computing essentially are two
1 Enabling resource harvesting by exploiting the computation storage and communication capabilities available on the things
2 Allowing arbitrary computations to be provisioned deployed managed and monitored on the things
As you can imagine things in IoT applications are extremely heterogeneous in terms of platforms resources and con-nectivity Thus the main challenge for mist infrastructures is to be sufficiently lightweight to be able to establish a fabric that virtualizes compute storage and communication without consuming too many resources
If we look from a distance at a generic IoTIIoT system we will realize that from an infrastructural perspective we will have to deal with data centers that are in a public or private cloud edge infrastructure and the actual things IoTIIoT systems will need to exploit resources that span these three tiers and provi-sion deploy monitor and manage applications and services across the tiers On the other hand if we look at the techno-logical landscape there is a complete fragmentation between the technologies used for cloud computing fog computing and the emerging mist computing This fragmentation makes it difficult to establish a unified end-to-end perspective of the system and it makes it practically impossible to treat the system as a uniform and virtualized compute storage and communication fabric
At this point the question is ldquoWhat can we do about itrdquo
The first step toward addressing a problem is recognizing it To this end that means raising awareness about the challenges that this fragmentation may induce The second step is to establish a vision of how the problem can be solved so that the industry can internalize it and eventually address it
Letrsquos focus for a moment on what would make sense for the user of an IoTIIoT platform as opposed to the technical details of whether cloud fog or mist is the right answer
From a high-level perspective why should a designer of an IoTIIoT application care whether he or she will be using cloud fog or mist computing paradigms The only thing that really matters is that the platform provides a way to provision
manage and monitor applications in such a way that appli-cations can meet their functional and non-functional require-ments The functional and non-functional requirements drive the allocation of applications on things fog or cloud layers ndash but anything else is just a detail isnrsquot it
Fluid computing is an architectural principle based on the abstraction of the topological details of the computational infrastructure Fluid architectures provide an end-to-end fabric that can be used to seamlessly provision deploy manage and monitor applications regardless of whether the underlying resource is provided by the cloud infrastructure the fog infra-structure or by things
Fluid computing unifies under a single abstraction of cloud fog and mist computing In other words cloud fog and mist computing can be seen as application of fluid computing in a specific bounded context
As the IoTIIoT market evolves expect a convergence of cloud fog and mist computing platforms toward a fluid computing platform This convergence will be necessary if not essential to accelerate the adoption of IoT

CIA and TPM to secure the IoTBy Guenther Fischer
CIA TPM and IoT You might ask what these three acronyms have in common and how they relate to each other
To make a long story short it is all about security trust and reliability
The abbreviation CIA in this context does not mean the Central Intelligence Agency It is an abbreviation for Confidentiality Integrity and Authenticity The so-called CIA principle is a simple but widely used security model covering three key tenets that should be guaranteed by all secure systems
Confidentiality is intended in the sense of hiding information from people not authorized to view it It is perhaps the most obvious aspect of the CIA model when it comes to security At the same time it is also the one most under attack Cryptographic symmetric and asymmetric encryption methods are examples of means to ensure confidentiality when transmitting data from one computer system to another
Integrity on the other hand represents the certainty that data is accurate and not changed on its journey from the original sender to the intended receiver A common security attack often called a man-in-the-middle attack intercepts data and makes changes to it before passing it on to the intended receiver Cryptographic digital signature methods are one way to attest the integrity of code and data
In addition authenticity is needed to address the concern about genuine information In other words you want to make sure the information you receive actually comes from the source that claims to be its genuine origin Cryptographic digital certificates are used to prove the authenticity of the issuer
Now that we understand why CIA is important for a secure system letrsquos move to the third acronym IoT
After many years of being an overhyped marketing term the so-called Internet of Things (IoT) is starting to become mature and real Mark Weiser created the term ldquoubiquitous computingrdquo first in his famous Scientific American article ldquoThe Computer for the 21st Centuryrdquo pub lished September 1991 His thinking was so ahead of his time that it seemed like science fiction to most of his readers In 2016 his vision has become reality Ubiquitous computing (or ubicomp for short) became todayrsquos ndash perhaps overhyped ndash IoT

everyday life until they are indistinguishable from itrdquo He pre-dicted that computing devices would become commonplace and part of all aspects of life and he was right Just consider for example the consumer gadgets like fitness bands smart watches smart phones or navigation systems that send and receive data all day long Or consider the home which is con-nected to a power grid where a smart meter allows the energy provider to effectively calculate the resources needed to cover the demand of all households Interconnected computing devices are everywhere nowadays
Shifting focus to industrial applications todayrsquos business IoT applications are developed together with devices and services coming from various sectors of industry information tech-nology automation and production technology aerospace maritime and naval systems railways car manufacturers and their suppliers energy providers agricultural medical tech-nology and building automation All of those share character-istics including long life in the field reliability and robustness in harsh environments and reliable long-term availability
IoT systems rely on public networks but public networks are not secure environments While IoT creates new capabilities and services allows greater efficiencies increases flexibility and enables the customization of single production units it also opens up previously closed systems and allows attackers to get access to those systems from the outside world
Attackers often use reverse engineering techniques to iden-tify software vulnerabilities which they can exploit to create counterfeit products steal sensitive data or tamper with the device for sabotage and espionage purposes This can lead to serious and dangerous hacks as recent attacks on safety-critical automotive aerospace and medical components have shown
This brings us back to the CIA principle we started with The only way to avoid situations like those listed above is to apply

the CIA security model to the world of IoT devices As we have learned CIA is built around cryprograhic operations Todayrsquos modern cryprography leverages standard crypto protocols The Dutch cryptographer Auguste Kerckhoffs stated a maxim in the 19th century that would become known as Kerckhoffsrsquo principle A cryptosystem should be secure even if everything about the system except for the key is public knowledge
I repeat everything is public knowledge except for the key which is needed to encrypt and decrypt the content either directly or in a derived form So how do you store a key in a secure manner This brings me to the second acronym TPM the Trusted Platform Module
In the world of cryptography there is a ton of other acronyms referring to the various protocols and methods that are used to ensure the CIA principle To name just a few of them you have DES AES for symmetric cryptography and RSA ECC for asymmetric cryptography The list of acronyms goes on and on The really important part however is that the algorithms themselves are typically not secret they are publicly available just as Kerckhoffsrsquo principle demands it The only part that really needs to be kept secret is the key itself This sounds simple but it is pretty hard to achieve To keep the key secret you need a secure place like a safe which we will call a secure element to securely store the key A TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is such a secure element and it offers a lot more including the crypto protocols
In a nutshell a TPM is a specialized and dedicated device that offers crypto operations and secure storage for secret keys all in one This allows you to store the key in a secure place and even more importantly it allows the key to stay there so it never leaves its secure location All important crypto operations are done inside of the TPM itself and only the results are exposed This prevents the key from getting compromised In case you want to know why it is important to have this dedicated functionality separated in a dedicated device I recommend you to read the following two articles These should make it obvious how impor-tant it is to have a dedicated secure element like a TPM inside a computing device to make it secure trustable and reliable
So how can incidents like these be prevented Use technology that creates secured code and licenses that can be bound to a secure element in the target system ensuring that the code and the licensed features can only be used on an individual system License creation and deployment can be integrated into existing business processes such as ERP systems or e-commerce platforms This mechanism opens up new business models such as feature-on-demand upselling and time-based or pay-per-use licenses for the IoT and other intelligent devices The result is improved security from attacks malware theft and other malfeasance for code and IP

IoT developers often consider faster time-to-market and lower product maintenance costs when deploying firmware update mechanisms as the capability allows them to stage feature roll-outs enabledisable features or functionality on devices in the field fix firmware bugs after a product has been released reduce the need for expensive technical support and enable better overall end user experiences However if proper security measures are not in place this feature may be misused and the consequences of a successful exploitation can be disastrous ranging from intellectual property (IP) theft and product cloning all the way to unauthor-ized control of the deployed system For example a successful exploitation of firmware update mechanisms that do not support verifying a new firmware imagersquos authenticity in a hospital drug pump can lead to a hacker tampering with the dos-ages of drugs delivered to patients
Firmware updates and their vulnerabilitiesFigure 1 shows a typical firmware update process The steps include
1 The product manufacturer creates and loads an initial firmware image into the device in a trusted environment
2 The product is deployed with the initial firmware into the field
3 When a firmware update is required the product manufacturer creates a new firmware image
4 The manufacturer sends the new firmware image to the end usertechnician or to the product directly through an untrusted communication channel
5 The new firmware is loaded onto the device in the field
In Figure 1 potential security threats are apparent during the ldquotransportrdquo phase when new firmware is transferred via an untrusted communication channel or during the ldquofirmware loadingrdquo phase when the new firmware is downloaded onto the device in the field
The new firmware image being down-loaded to the device corresponds to the IP of the product manufacturer and the target asset Threats to this asset include
1 Reverse engineering of the firmware binary image into assembly or a higher level engineering language to analyze its functionality and contents
2 Product cloning where a firmware image from the product manufacturer is loaded onto a device that is not authorized
3 Alteration of the firmware distributed by the product manufacturer
4 Loading an unauthorized firmware image onto the device which may correspond to an older firmware version from the product manufacturer with known bugs or code created by an unauthorized party or firmware not intended for the specific device (firmware downgrading)
5 Interrupting the firmware update process such that the firmware is only partially updated resulting in a device being unavailable for service
It is evident that the aforementioned threats can have disastrous conse-quences for the product manufacturer service provider and end user thus indi-cating an intense need for embedded designers to strongly consider measures that increase the overall security of the firmware update mechanism

Secure firmware update considerations for ultra-low power MCUsBy Bhargavi Nisarga and Luis Reynoso
16 IoT Design Guide 2016 wwwiotdesignembedded-computingcom
In-field firmware updates are an increasingly
popular feature in microcontroller-based
(MCU-based) applications These updates
enable new firmware images to be downloaded
onto a devicersquos memory providing an effective way
for product manufacturers to offer services and support to products that are already deployed in the
field The Internet of Things (IoT) era is driving increased connectivity in the embedded world making
this one of the most crucial features for todayrsquos connected products ndash so long as they are secure
Secure firmware update considerations for design engineersFigure 2 shows an example representation of network-connected systems In this case the new firmware image is transferred either from the product manufacturer
FIGURE 2A secure firmware update includes security measures dictated by the interface protocols used for network communications as well as application-level security that ensures firmware images are secured before data enters the network
FIGURE 1 Shown here is a typical firmware update process
(eg a new feature roll-out or firmware bug fix) or the service provider (eg to enabledisable features or services in a product) to the end nodes over local or wide area networks (LANsWANs) and may involve authentication from end user applications (eg via mobile devices and web applications) to per-form the firmware update
Embedded systems engineers designing firmware update capabilities for IoT sys-tems need to not only understand the assets that need to be protected and the potential threats but also the capa-bilities and limitations of their system especially as they pertain to cost per-formance or power consumption in constrained systems As a starting point an effective security solution that incor-porates the right combination of crypto-graphic algorithms and protocol-level measures must be considered
Cryptographic algorithms provide a means of protecting the privacy of con-tent while ensuring its authenticity and integrity Not all cryptographic algo-rithms are the same but they are based on four cryptographic primitives that handle one or more components of the con-fidentiality integrity and authenticity (CIA) triad These primitives are
1 Encryption and decryption Encryption is the process by which data (plaintext) is transformed into something random and meaningless (ciphertext) while decryption performs the opposite job These primitives provide both confidentiality and authenticity and are used to prevent the reverse engineering of firmware
2 One-way functions Functions such as hash are mathematical algorithms that are easy to calculate in one direction but difficult in the other They are used to obtain a digital ldquofingerprintrdquo that ensures the integrity of firmware before it is transported into the field

3 Digital signatures Used to detect if a message was altered after it was signed thus providing not only integrity but also authentication These make use of public-key cryptography to generate a signature that can only be properly decrypted using the manufacturerrsquos public key
4 Message authentication code (MAC) Similar to a digital signature except that it uses symmetric keys to encrypt and decrypt a hash generated by the manufacturer If the hash value decrypted by the receiver matches the hash value calculated for the message then the message is valid In this way MACs provide both authenticity and integrity
Some factors that influence the selection of cryptographic algorithms include performance requirements the security needs of the system memory footprint energy consumption and reliability and acceptance of the algorithm by the security
community (such as organizations like the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST))
In addition to cryptographic algorithms protocol-level measures against threats such as firmware downgrading should be considered As mentioned previ-ously firmware downgrading is an attack in which an older defective firm-ware image (encrypted or not) is re-sent to a device in order to revert it to a vul-nerable state A version check of both the firmware and keys can ensure that only new versions are programmed during an update
An attacker can also interrupt a firmware update process using several methods (power loss physical connection failure bits flipped during transmission etc) This can lead to a device executing an incomplete or invalid firmware image rendering it useless or in a compromised state In order to address this scenario firmware update mechanisms need to ensure that an incomplete or corrupted image is not executed and if neces-sary should revert the system to a valid previously used image
Cryptographic bootloaders for connected embedded systemsFirmware updates are typically handled by the device bootloader A bootloader is a piece of code that resides on device memory and has the ability to reprogram the application memory space However finding or creating an embedded boot-loader with the security required for network-connected systems can be challenging For example a system may need the ability to update cryptographic keys so cryptographic functions and a bootloader protocol should support upgrading keys and increased network security during the firmware update pro-cess The bootloader protocol should also accommodate verifying firmware update versions and packet tracking to check if all packets of a specific firmware update image were received
As discussed the selection of a crypto-graphic algorithm is critical because it not only sets the level of security of the sys- tem but it also impacts its performance

Crypto-Bootloader solution imple-mented on MSP430FR5969 devices encapsulates most of the security fea-tures and considerations outlined here (Figure 3)
Securing firmware for the Internet of ThingsIn summary increasingly network embedded products are creating the potential for advanced security threats making in-field firmware updates more vulnerable to remote attacks and exploitations Therefore it is important for embedded designers to consider securing their firmware update mecha-nisms through solutions that provide the right level of security while balancing the cost power and performance con-straints of IoT products
Bhargavi Nisarga is a Systems Engineer at Texas Instruments
Luis Reynoso is a Systems Applications Engineer at Texas Instruments
memory footprint and power consump-tion With this in mind AES-CCM repre-sents an optimal solution for embedded bootloaders AES-CCM is a cryptographic bootloader (Crypto-Bootloader) built on two cryptographic primitives AES Counter Mode (AES-CTR) for encryp-tion and cipher block chaining message
authentication code (CBC-MAC) for integrity and authenticity verification Due to the low overhead provided by AES-CCM it provides a perfect balance between increased security and low memory footprint high throughput and efficient power consumption
The selection of an MCU implementing the bootloader should not be over-looked either Designers should con-sider MCUs with features like hardware encryption engines a memory protec-tion unit (MPU) low-power peripherals and memory technologies that allow fast readwrite cycles for increased throughput The MSP430FR5969 MCU from Texas Instruments is an example of such an MCU that integrates an AES-256 co-processor to accelerate encryption algorithms MPU and MPU-IP encap-sulation (MPU-IPE) modules to enable increased protection and encapsulation of memory regions as well as up to 64 KB of FRAM memory for high performance and ultra-low power consumption The
MSP430FR5969 MCUs integrate a Crypto-Bootloader as well as MPUMPU-IPE modules and an AES-256 security co-processor

Herersquos the thing The IoT doesnrsquot need PoCs
I made this statement the other day in a product development team meeting and received looks of shock and disbelief The company with whom I was working has customers asking for help solving a specific problem and we had a multi-disciplinary team reviewing the architecture for a solution The looks I got said ldquoHow can we begin a product development without a PoCrdquo The answer is easy when you consider the definition of a PoC
According to Wikipedia ldquoA proof of concept is a realization of a certain method or idea to demonstrate its feasibility or a demonstration in principle whose purpose is to verify that some concept or theory has the potential of being used A proof of concept is usually small and may or may not be completerdquo
ldquoFeasibilityrdquo is the key word here Feasibility is the role of technology in the Innovation Venn diagram (Figure 1) Is the product technically feasible Can we even make innovation function For the most part after nearly 15 cycles of Moorersquos law and two generations of the Internet this means ldquoDoes the product violate the laws of physicsrdquo
Today particularly in the IoT ecosystem anything is feasible Further one could argue that if the product is a pure software or Internet play it is by definition feasible
The harder questions for new prod-ucts today are the other two parts of the Innovation Venn Is the product
Gateway
I have heard complaints from several Internet of Things (IoT) sales and business leaders about how
proofs-of-concept (PoCs) are slowing them down In some cases they are just frustrated with how often
they are told ldquoWe need to do a PoCrdquo by a development team in response to a request to begin a new product
or offering development In other cases they are frustrated with how the tools used for PoCs ndash development
kits or Maker-ware devices like Arduino and Raspberry Pi ndash prevent them and their customers from deploying
scalable solutions once the concept is proven
The IoT doesnrsquot need PoCsBy David Smith

desirable If so at what price Is the business viable These are the tough questions facing new offerings today
Therersquos the rub A PoC does nothing to address user desirability or busi-ness viability A PoC only addresses technology
ldquoYoursquove just renamed the PoC as a prototyperdquo you say But therersquos a big difference between the two
In a PoC the developer is not con-strained by manufacturing costs or user acceptance The issue is simple Can I make this offering work Maker tools are excellent for this This is one of the reasons by the way that when one looks for Maker products most of the suppliers are targeting educational organizations Education is about one example one proof that something works one PoC
A prototype however is the first itera-tion of the new product A prototype is built to a product requirements docu-ment (PRD) and that PRD has manu-facturing supply chain constraints certification constraints user experience needs and cost expectations One-off tools like Arduino or Raspberry Pi were not designed for these constraints So when a product development is started with a PoC and uses Maker tools the

development process comes to halt after the proof There is no certification path no manufacturing supply chain and no ability to meet user experience constraints ndash par-ticularly where form factor is critical
The IoT has put a slightly different spin on the product development process because of the addition of an ongoing user-supported experience Business models depend upon ongoing revenue so innovators have to address this need during development This is the role of the pilot The pilot puts the product in a sales-ready format into the hands of enough users in context to measure their adoption of sustained use of and willingness to pay for the product Figure 2 outlines the roles of PoCs prototypes and pilots in the product development process The fastest progression for product development for the IoT is PoC rarr Prototype(s) rarr Pilot rarr Product
The good news is that good suppliers of the IoT technology stack know that their offerings have to work in production have to scale and have to pass rigorous testing

Sometimes small changes make a big difference Switching your organizationrsquos thinking from proof-of-concept to proof-of-innovation is one of those changes
Three ways to tell you are wasting time with a PoC1 Examples of the offering exist in
either the lab or with competitors ndash Note that the example can be in other applications or markets For example self-driving cars moved immediately to prototypes because auto-piloted airplanes and drones provided the proof that the technology works for autonomous vehicle operations
2 No new hardware is needed ndash If your new offering depends upon the integration or is a software appli-cation of data then you are not doing a PoC Your technology is feasible it just may not be desirable or viable
3 None of the questions to be answered by the PoC effort involve the laws of physics
Three things that make a good pilot1 You have a sales-ready user
experience ndash An IoT pilot not only has to measure user adoption it also has to measure churn Too much churn will defeat the business To measure these characteristics with confidence across a statistically significant number of users the product must have a sales-ready user experience
2 The product is re-certification tested ndash Since the pilot product is not in fact sold it does not have to be marked UL CE FCC etc But it better be ready to mark As soon as the pilot validates adoption churn and price the sales team is going want to see products shipping so you canrsquot go back and do another spin Be ready
3 The supply chain is solid and meets cost expectations ndash The pilot will measure user adoption at price so if it is successful production will begin Production will have to deliver on that price so the supply chain must be solid
David Smith is Vice President of Engineering and Innovation at MultiTech Systems
They also know that they have to help product development teams move through prototyping to pilots quickly The prototypes can get early user feedback and allow forecasts of costs But the sweet spot of innovation is where users want the new product and are willing to pay a price that sustains the business In the IoT sustaining the business is complicated by recurring expense and revenue This is where the pilot comes in The pilot validates the product and the business model
PoCs are not bad but they are not often necessary in business today Perhaps the best example of this is a place where PoCs are the lifeblood of the company Google X Their mission is to make moon shots learn from failure and solve grand problems with approaches no one else is willing to try If your mission is similar then PoCs are great If you are under pressure to grow and generate new forms of revenue using digital technology beware the PoC

As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues its rapid pace of growth therersquos been no shortage of inflated
expectations Platforms promising to ease the development deployment and management of IoT systems are
now counted in the hundreds You might believe that all you have to do is pick a platform you like the best from
the vendor you trust the most and go build your IoT system Well the story is not so simple
In reality nearly all of the IoT platforms available are designed to only support cloud-centric architectures These platforms centralize the ldquointelligencerdquo in the cloud and require data to be conveyed from the edge to do anything useful with it Considering the success of this cloud-centric model in IT (and in some IoT applications like fleet management) you may wonder whatrsquos the big deal
Simply put cloud-centric architectures arenrsquot applicable to a large class of IoT applications Most notably cloud-centric architectures fall short in supporting Industrial IoT (IIoT) sys-tems and struggle with more demanding Consumer IoT (CIoT) applications
The scariest part is that the situation will only get worse with the predicted increase in the number of connected things But there are some things more fundamental limiting cloud-centric architecturesrsquo applicability for IoT systems
Connectivity ndash Cloud-centric architectures assume that sufficient connectivity exists from the things to the cloud This is necessary for collecting the data from the edge and for pushing insight or control actions from the cloud to the edge Yet connectivity
is hard to guarantee for several IoTIIoT applications such as smart autonomous consumer and agricultural vehicles As you can imagine connectivity may be taken for granted in metropolitan areas but not so much in rural areas
Bandwidth ndash Cloud-centric computing assumes that sufficient bandwidth exists to ingest the data from the edge into the data center The challenge here is that several IIoT applications produce incredible volumes of data For instance a factory can easily produce a terabyte of data per day and these numbers will only grow with the continued digitalization of factories
Latency ndash Therersquos a large class of IIoT systems for which the latency required to send data to the cloud make decisions and eventually send data toward the edge to act on these decisions may be completely incompatible with the dynamics of the underlying system A key difference between IT and IoTIIoT is that the latter deals with physical entities As such the reaction time must be compatible with the dynamics of the physical entity or process with which the application interacts Failing to react with the proper latency can lead to system instability infrastructure damage or even put human operators at risk
Cloud
The IoT needs fog computingBy Angelo Corsaro
wwwiotdesignembedded-computingcom IoT Design Guide 2016 23
Cost ndash In the age of smartphones and very cheap data plans most people assume that the cost of connectivity is negligible The reality is quite different in IIoT due to either bandwidth requirements or connectivity points While in consumer applications the individual person (the consumer) pays for connectivity in most IoTIIoT applications (such as smart grids) itrsquos the operator who foots the bill As a result cost is usually carefully accounted for as it has an impact on operating expense and consequently on operational costs and margins
Security ndash Finally even assuming that all the above-listed issues are addressed a large class of IoTIIoT applications are not comfortable with or are incapable due to regulation of pushing their data to a cloud
Unless you can guarantee that the connectivity bandwidth latency cost and security requirements of your application are compatible with a cloud-centric architecture you need a dif-ferent paradigm and 999 percent of the IoT platforms avail-able on the market are not of much use
Fog computing is emerging as the main paradigm to address the connectivity bandwidth latency cost and security chal-lenges imposed by cloud-centric architectures The main idea behind fog computing is to provide elastic compute storage and communication close to the things so that data neednrsquot be sent all the way to the cloud or at least not all data and not all the time And the infrastructure is designed ground-up to deal with cyber- physical systems (CPS) as opposed to IT systems In other words the infrastructure is designed to consider the constraints imposed by the interactions with the physical world in terms of latency determinism load balancing and fault-tolerance
Defining fog computingTwo trends that are at the core of the IIoT revolution are soft-warization and digital twins
Softwarization is a trend that is disrupting several industries Its mantra is the replacement of specialized hardware implementa-tions such as a programmable logic controller (PLC) on an indus-trial floor with software running in a virtualized environment
Digital twins as the name hints are a digital representation (computerized model) of a physical entity (such as a compressor or a turbine) that is animated through the live data coming from its physical brother or sister Digital twins have several applications such as monitoring diagnostics and prognostics Additionally Digital twins provide useful insights to RampD teams for improving next-generation designs as well as continuously ameliorating the fidelity of their models
As softwarization transforms specialized hardware into soft-ware it creates an opportunity for convergence and consolida-tion If we take as an example soft PLCs (ie softwarized PLCs) all of a sudden they can be deployed on commodity hardware in a virtualized environment and decoupled from the IO logic that can remain closer to the source of data As a side note
the general idea of softwarization applied to the factory floor is often referred to as software-defined machines or software-defined automation
As a result of softwarization and digital twins there is an opportunity for modernizing the factory floor consolidating its hardware and improving availability productivity manage-ability resilience to failure and innovation agility In essence as a result of softwarization there is the opportunity to manage these systems as a data center As softwarization is a trend that is impacting a large class of industries it is worth highlighting that the transformations described above along with its ben-efits are not just limited to industrial automation But there is a catch the large majority of these systems whether in the industrial transportation or medical domains are subject to the performance constraints previously discussed
These systems interact with the physical world and as such they need to react at the pace imposed by the physical entity with which they interact As a consequence while traditional cloud infrastructure would be functionally perfect to address these use cases it turns out to be inadequate as it is typi-cally not designed with these non-functional requirements in mind and is often too heavyweight Cloud infrastructures were designed for IT systems in which a delay in the response time may create a bored or upset customer but will not cause a robot arm to smash against a wall another machine or worse
Now it should be clear that fog computing is not just about applying distributed computing to the edge Fog computing is about providing an infrastructure that while virtualizing elastic compute storage and communication is able to address the non-functional properties characteristic of these domains
Fog computing makes it possible to provision and manage softwarized hardware (eg a soft PLC digital twins analytics and anything else that may need to run on the system) while ensuring the proper non-functional requirements and bringing all the benefits listed above in terms of convergence manage-ability availability agility and efficiency improvement
Fog computing provides a flexible infrastructure to provision deploy monitor and manage software at the edge This should clarify how just deploying some logic on an edge gateway isnrsquot fog computing and neither is fog computing traditional dis-tributed computing

Fluid computing Unifying cloud fog and mist computingWhat is mist computing As the name implies mist is closer to the ground than fog which in turn is closer to the ground than the cloud But beside the meteorological analogies what does this really mean As yoursquove probably guessed this means that mist computing is about bringing elastic compute storage and communication directly onto the things Thus if we continue with the meteorological analogy cloud infrastructure is high in the data center fog infrastructure is between the things and the cloud and mist infrastructure is simply the things
The goals of mist computing essentially are two
1 Enabling resource harvesting by exploiting the computation storage and communication capabilities available on the things
2 Allowing arbitrary computations to be provisioned deployed managed and monitored on the things
As you can imagine things in IoT applications are extremely heterogeneous in terms of platforms resources and con-nectivity Thus the main challenge for mist infrastructures is to be sufficiently lightweight to be able to establish a fabric that virtualizes compute storage and communication without consuming too many resources
If we look from a distance at a generic IoTIIoT system we will realize that from an infrastructural perspective we will have to deal with data centers that are in a public or private cloud edge infrastructure and the actual things IoTIIoT systems will need to exploit resources that span these three tiers and provi-sion deploy monitor and manage applications and services across the tiers On the other hand if we look at the techno-logical landscape there is a complete fragmentation between the technologies used for cloud computing fog computing and the emerging mist computing This fragmentation makes it difficult to establish a unified end-to-end perspective of the system and it makes it practically impossible to treat the system as a uniform and virtualized compute storage and communication fabric
At this point the question is ldquoWhat can we do about itrdquo
The first step toward addressing a problem is recognizing it To this end that means raising awareness about the challenges that this fragmentation may induce The second step is to establish a vision of how the problem can be solved so that the industry can internalize it and eventually address it
Letrsquos focus for a moment on what would make sense for the user of an IoTIIoT platform as opposed to the technical details of whether cloud fog or mist is the right answer
From a high-level perspective why should a designer of an IoTIIoT application care whether he or she will be using cloud fog or mist computing paradigms The only thing that really matters is that the platform provides a way to provision
manage and monitor applications in such a way that appli-cations can meet their functional and non-functional require-ments The functional and non-functional requirements drive the allocation of applications on things fog or cloud layers ndash but anything else is just a detail isnrsquot it
Fluid computing is an architectural principle based on the abstraction of the topological details of the computational infrastructure Fluid architectures provide an end-to-end fabric that can be used to seamlessly provision deploy manage and monitor applications regardless of whether the underlying resource is provided by the cloud infrastructure the fog infra-structure or by things
Fluid computing unifies under a single abstraction of cloud fog and mist computing In other words cloud fog and mist computing can be seen as application of fluid computing in a specific bounded context
As the IoTIIoT market evolves expect a convergence of cloud fog and mist computing platforms toward a fluid computing platform This convergence will be necessary if not essential to accelerate the adoption of IoT

CIA and TPM to secure the IoTBy Guenther Fischer
CIA TPM and IoT You might ask what these three acronyms have in common and how they relate to each other
To make a long story short it is all about security trust and reliability
The abbreviation CIA in this context does not mean the Central Intelligence Agency It is an abbreviation for Confidentiality Integrity and Authenticity The so-called CIA principle is a simple but widely used security model covering three key tenets that should be guaranteed by all secure systems
Confidentiality is intended in the sense of hiding information from people not authorized to view it It is perhaps the most obvious aspect of the CIA model when it comes to security At the same time it is also the one most under attack Cryptographic symmetric and asymmetric encryption methods are examples of means to ensure confidentiality when transmitting data from one computer system to another
Integrity on the other hand represents the certainty that data is accurate and not changed on its journey from the original sender to the intended receiver A common security attack often called a man-in-the-middle attack intercepts data and makes changes to it before passing it on to the intended receiver Cryptographic digital signature methods are one way to attest the integrity of code and data
In addition authenticity is needed to address the concern about genuine information In other words you want to make sure the information you receive actually comes from the source that claims to be its genuine origin Cryptographic digital certificates are used to prove the authenticity of the issuer
Now that we understand why CIA is important for a secure system letrsquos move to the third acronym IoT
After many years of being an overhyped marketing term the so-called Internet of Things (IoT) is starting to become mature and real Mark Weiser created the term ldquoubiquitous computingrdquo first in his famous Scientific American article ldquoThe Computer for the 21st Centuryrdquo pub lished September 1991 His thinking was so ahead of his time that it seemed like science fiction to most of his readers In 2016 his vision has become reality Ubiquitous computing (or ubicomp for short) became todayrsquos ndash perhaps overhyped ndash IoT
Weiser started his article ldquoThe most profound technologies are those that disappear They weave themselves into the fabric of

everyday life until they are indistinguishable from itrdquo He pre-dicted that computing devices would become commonplace and part of all aspects of life and he was right Just consider for example the consumer gadgets like fitness bands smart watches smart phones or navigation systems that send and receive data all day long Or consider the home which is con-nected to a power grid where a smart meter allows the energy provider to effectively calculate the resources needed to cover the demand of all households Interconnected computing devices are everywhere nowadays
Shifting focus to industrial applications todayrsquos business IoT applications are developed together with devices and services coming from various sectors of industry information tech-nology automation and production technology aerospace maritime and naval systems railways car manufacturers and their suppliers energy providers agricultural medical tech-nology and building automation All of those share character-istics including long life in the field reliability and robustness in harsh environments and reliable long-term availability
IoT systems rely on public networks but public networks are not secure environments While IoT creates new capabilities and services allows greater efficiencies increases flexibility and enables the customization of single production units it also opens up previously closed systems and allows attackers to get access to those systems from the outside world
Attackers often use reverse engineering techniques to iden-tify software vulnerabilities which they can exploit to create counterfeit products steal sensitive data or tamper with the device for sabotage and espionage purposes This can lead to serious and dangerous hacks as recent attacks on safety-critical automotive aerospace and medical components have shown
This brings us back to the CIA principle we started with The only way to avoid situations like those listed above is to apply

the CIA security model to the world of IoT devices As we have learned CIA is built around cryprograhic operations Todayrsquos modern cryprography leverages standard crypto protocols The Dutch cryptographer Auguste Kerckhoffs stated a maxim in the 19th century that would become known as Kerckhoffsrsquo principle A cryptosystem should be secure even if everything about the system except for the key is public knowledge
I repeat everything is public knowledge except for the key which is needed to encrypt and decrypt the content either directly or in a derived form So how do you store a key in a secure manner This brings me to the second acronym TPM the Trusted Platform Module
In the world of cryptography there is a ton of other acronyms referring to the various protocols and methods that are used to ensure the CIA principle To name just a few of them you have DES AES for symmetric cryptography and RSA ECC for asymmetric cryptography The list of acronyms goes on and on The really important part however is that the algorithms themselves are typically not secret they are publicly available just as Kerckhoffsrsquo principle demands it The only part that really needs to be kept secret is the key itself This sounds simple but it is pretty hard to achieve To keep the key secret you need a secure place like a safe which we will call a secure element to securely store the key A TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is such a secure element and it offers a lot more including the crypto protocols
In a nutshell a TPM is a specialized and dedicated device that offers crypto operations and secure storage for secret keys all in one This allows you to store the key in a secure place and even more importantly it allows the key to stay there so it never leaves its secure location All important crypto operations are done inside of the TPM itself and only the results are exposed This prevents the key from getting compromised In case you want to know why it is important to have this dedicated functionality separated in a dedicated device I recommend you to read the following two articles These should make it obvious how impor-tant it is to have a dedicated secure element like a TPM inside a computing device to make it secure trustable and reliable
So how can incidents like these be prevented Use technology that creates secured code and licenses that can be bound to a secure element in the target system ensuring that the code and the licensed features can only be used on an individual system License creation and deployment can be integrated into existing business processes such as ERP systems or e-commerce platforms This mechanism opens up new business models such as feature-on-demand upselling and time-based or pay-per-use licenses for the IoT and other intelligent devices The result is improved security from attacks malware theft and other malfeasance for code and IP

Secure firmware update considerations for design engineersFigure 2 shows an example representation of network-connected systems In this case the new firmware image is transferred either from the product manufacturer
FIGURE 2A secure firmware update includes security measures dictated by the interface protocols used for network communications as well as application-level security that ensures firmware images are secured before data enters the network
FIGURE 1 Shown here is a typical firmware update process
(eg a new feature roll-out or firmware bug fix) or the service provider (eg to enabledisable features or services in a product) to the end nodes over local or wide area networks (LANsWANs) and may involve authentication from end user applications (eg via mobile devices and web applications) to per-form the firmware update
Embedded systems engineers designing firmware update capabilities for IoT sys-tems need to not only understand the assets that need to be protected and the potential threats but also the capa-bilities and limitations of their system especially as they pertain to cost per-formance or power consumption in constrained systems As a starting point an effective security solution that incor-porates the right combination of crypto-graphic algorithms and protocol-level measures must be considered
Cryptographic algorithms provide a means of protecting the privacy of con-tent while ensuring its authenticity and integrity Not all cryptographic algo-rithms are the same but they are based on four cryptographic primitives that handle one or more components of the con-fidentiality integrity and authenticity (CIA) triad These primitives are
1 Encryption and decryption Encryption is the process by which data (plaintext) is transformed into something random and meaningless (ciphertext) while decryption performs the opposite job These primitives provide both confidentiality and authenticity and are used to prevent the reverse engineering of firmware
2 One-way functions Functions such as hash are mathematical algorithms that are easy to calculate in one direction but difficult in the other They are used to obtain a digital ldquofingerprintrdquo that ensures the integrity of firmware before it is transported into the field

3 Digital signatures Used to detect if a message was altered after it was signed thus providing not only integrity but also authentication These make use of public-key cryptography to generate a signature that can only be properly decrypted using the manufacturerrsquos public key
4 Message authentication code (MAC) Similar to a digital signature except that it uses symmetric keys to encrypt and decrypt a hash generated by the manufacturer If the hash value decrypted by the receiver matches the hash value calculated for the message then the message is valid In this way MACs provide both authenticity and integrity
Some factors that influence the selection of cryptographic algorithms include performance requirements the security needs of the system memory footprint energy consumption and reliability and acceptance of the algorithm by the security
community (such as organizations like the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST))
In addition to cryptographic algorithms protocol-level measures against threats such as firmware downgrading should be considered As mentioned previ-ously firmware downgrading is an attack in which an older defective firm-ware image (encrypted or not) is re-sent to a device in order to revert it to a vul-nerable state A version check of both the firmware and keys can ensure that only new versions are programmed during an update
An attacker can also interrupt a firmware update process using several methods (power loss physical connection failure bits flipped during transmission etc) This can lead to a device executing an incomplete or invalid firmware image rendering it useless or in a compromised state In order to address this scenario firmware update mechanisms need to ensure that an incomplete or corrupted image is not executed and if neces-sary should revert the system to a valid previously used image
Cryptographic bootloaders for connected embedded systemsFirmware updates are typically handled by the device bootloader A bootloader is a piece of code that resides on device memory and has the ability to reprogram the application memory space However finding or creating an embedded boot-loader with the security required for network-connected systems can be challenging For example a system may need the ability to update cryptographic keys so cryptographic functions and a bootloader protocol should support upgrading keys and increased network security during the firmware update pro-cess The bootloader protocol should also accommodate verifying firmware update versions and packet tracking to check if all packets of a specific firmware update image were received
As discussed the selection of a crypto-graphic algorithm is critical because it not only sets the level of security of the sys- tem but it also impacts its performance

Crypto-Bootloader solution imple-mented on MSP430FR5969 devices encapsulates most of the security fea-tures and considerations outlined here (Figure 3)
Securing firmware for the Internet of ThingsIn summary increasingly network embedded products are creating the potential for advanced security threats making in-field firmware updates more vulnerable to remote attacks and exploitations Therefore it is important for embedded designers to consider securing their firmware update mecha-nisms through solutions that provide the right level of security while balancing the cost power and performance con-straints of IoT products

memory footprint and power consump-tion With this in mind AES-CCM repre-sents an optimal solution for embedded bootloaders AES-CCM is a cryptographic bootloader (Crypto-Bootloader) built on two cryptographic primitives AES Counter Mode (AES-CTR) for encryp-tion and cipher block chaining message
authentication code (CBC-MAC) for integrity and authenticity verification Due to the low overhead provided by AES-CCM it provides a perfect balance between increased security and low memory footprint high throughput and efficient power consumption
The selection of an MCU implementing the bootloader should not be over-looked either Designers should con-sider MCUs with features like hardware encryption engines a memory protec-tion unit (MPU) low-power peripherals and memory technologies that allow fast readwrite cycles for increased throughput The MSP430FR5969 MCU from Texas Instruments is an example of such an MCU that integrates an AES-256 co-processor to accelerate encryption algorithms MPU and MPU-IP encap-sulation (MPU-IPE) modules to enable increased protection and encapsulation of memory regions as well as up to 64 KB of FRAM memory for high performance and ultra-low power consumption The

Herersquos the thing The IoT doesnrsquot need PoCs
I made this statement the other day in a product development team meeting and received looks of shock and disbelief The company with whom I was working has customers asking for help solving a specific problem and we had a multi-disciplinary team reviewing the architecture for a solution The looks I got said ldquoHow can we begin a product development without a PoCrdquo The answer is easy when you consider the definition of a PoC
According to Wikipedia ldquoA proof of concept is a realization of a certain method or idea to demonstrate its feasibility or a demonstration in principle whose purpose is to verify that some concept or theory has the potential of being used A proof of concept is usually small and may or may not be completerdquo
ldquoFeasibilityrdquo is the key word here Feasibility is the role of technology in the Innovation Venn diagram (Figure 1) Is the product technically feasible Can we even make innovation function For the most part after nearly 15 cycles of Moorersquos law and two generations of the Internet this means ldquoDoes the product violate the laws of physicsrdquo
Today particularly in the IoT ecosystem anything is feasible Further one could argue that if the product is a pure software or Internet play it is by definition feasible
The harder questions for new prod-ucts today are the other two parts of the Innovation Venn Is the product
Gateway
I have heard complaints from several Internet of Things (IoT) sales and business leaders about how
proofs-of-concept (PoCs) are slowing them down In some cases they are just frustrated with how often
they are told ldquoWe need to do a PoCrdquo by a development team in response to a request to begin a new product
or offering development In other cases they are frustrated with how the tools used for PoCs ndash development
kits or Maker-ware devices like Arduino and Raspberry Pi ndash prevent them and their customers from deploying
scalable solutions once the concept is proven

desirable If so at what price Is the business viable These are the tough questions facing new offerings today
Therersquos the rub A PoC does nothing to address user desirability or busi-ness viability A PoC only addresses technology
ldquoYoursquove just renamed the PoC as a prototyperdquo you say But therersquos a big difference between the two
In a PoC the developer is not con-strained by manufacturing costs or user acceptance The issue is simple Can I make this offering work Maker tools are excellent for this This is one of the reasons by the way that when one looks for Maker products most of the suppliers are targeting educational organizations Education is about one example one proof that something works one PoC
A prototype however is the first itera-tion of the new product A prototype is built to a product requirements docu-ment (PRD) and that PRD has manu-facturing supply chain constraints certification constraints user experience needs and cost expectations One-off tools like Arduino or Raspberry Pi were not designed for these constraints So when a product development is started with a PoC and uses Maker tools the

development process comes to halt after the proof There is no certification path no manufacturing supply chain and no ability to meet user experience constraints ndash par-ticularly where form factor is critical
The IoT has put a slightly different spin on the product development process because of the addition of an ongoing user-supported experience Business models depend upon ongoing revenue so innovators have to address this need during development This is the role of the pilot The pilot puts the product in a sales-ready format into the hands of enough users in context to measure their adoption of sustained use of and willingness to pay for the product Figure 2 outlines the roles of PoCs prototypes and pilots in the product development process The fastest progression for product development for the IoT is PoC rarr Prototype(s) rarr Pilot rarr Product
The good news is that good suppliers of the IoT technology stack know that their offerings have to work in production have to scale and have to pass rigorous testing

Sometimes small changes make a big difference Switching your organizationrsquos thinking from proof-of-concept to proof-of-innovation is one of those changes
Three ways to tell you are wasting time with a PoC1 Examples of the offering exist in
either the lab or with competitors ndash Note that the example can be in other applications or markets For example self-driving cars moved immediately to prototypes because auto-piloted airplanes and drones provided the proof that the technology works for autonomous vehicle operations
2 No new hardware is needed ndash If your new offering depends upon the integration or is a software appli-cation of data then you are not doing a PoC Your technology is feasible it just may not be desirable or viable
3 None of the questions to be answered by the PoC effort involve the laws of physics
Three things that make a good pilot1 You have a sales-ready user
experience ndash An IoT pilot not only has to measure user adoption it also has to measure churn Too much churn will defeat the business To measure these characteristics with confidence across a statistically significant number of users the product must have a sales-ready user experience
2 The product is re-certification tested ndash Since the pilot product is not in fact sold it does not have to be marked UL CE FCC etc But it better be ready to mark As soon as the pilot validates adoption churn and price the sales team is going want to see products shipping so you canrsquot go back and do another spin Be ready
3 The supply chain is solid and meets cost expectations ndash The pilot will measure user adoption at price so if it is successful production will begin Production will have to deliver on that price so the supply chain must be solid
David Smith is Vice President of Engineering and Innovation at MultiTech Systems
They also know that they have to help product development teams move through prototyping to pilots quickly The prototypes can get early user feedback and allow forecasts of costs But the sweet spot of innovation is where users want the new product and are willing to pay a price that sustains the business In the IoT sustaining the business is complicated by recurring expense and revenue This is where the pilot comes in The pilot validates the product and the business model
PoCs are not bad but they are not often necessary in business today Perhaps the best example of this is a place where PoCs are the lifeblood of the company Google X Their mission is to make moon shots learn from failure and solve grand problems with approaches no one else is willing to try If your mission is similar then PoCs are great If you are under pressure to grow and generate new forms of revenue using digital technology beware the PoC

As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues its rapid pace of growth therersquos been no shortage of inflated
expectations Platforms promising to ease the development deployment and management of IoT systems are
now counted in the hundreds You might believe that all you have to do is pick a platform you like the best from
the vendor you trust the most and go build your IoT system Well the story is not so simple
In reality nearly all of the IoT platforms available are designed to only support cloud-centric architectures These platforms centralize the ldquointelligencerdquo in the cloud and require data to be conveyed from the edge to do anything useful with it Considering the success of this cloud-centric model in IT (and in some IoT applications like fleet management) you may wonder whatrsquos the big deal
Simply put cloud-centric architectures arenrsquot applicable to a large class of IoT applications Most notably cloud-centric architectures fall short in supporting Industrial IoT (IIoT) sys-tems and struggle with more demanding Consumer IoT (CIoT) applications
The scariest part is that the situation will only get worse with the predicted increase in the number of connected things But there are some things more fundamental limiting cloud-centric architecturesrsquo applicability for IoT systems
Connectivity ndash Cloud-centric architectures assume that sufficient connectivity exists from the things to the cloud This is necessary for collecting the data from the edge and for pushing insight or control actions from the cloud to the edge Yet connectivity
is hard to guarantee for several IoTIIoT applications such as smart autonomous consumer and agricultural vehicles As you can imagine connectivity may be taken for granted in metropolitan areas but not so much in rural areas
Bandwidth ndash Cloud-centric computing assumes that sufficient bandwidth exists to ingest the data from the edge into the data center The challenge here is that several IIoT applications produce incredible volumes of data For instance a factory can easily produce a terabyte of data per day and these numbers will only grow with the continued digitalization of factories
Latency ndash Therersquos a large class of IIoT systems for which the latency required to send data to the cloud make decisions and eventually send data toward the edge to act on these decisions may be completely incompatible with the dynamics of the underlying system A key difference between IT and IoTIIoT is that the latter deals with physical entities As such the reaction time must be compatible with the dynamics of the physical entity or process with which the application interacts Failing to react with the proper latency can lead to system instability infrastructure damage or even put human operators at risk
Cloud
The IoT needs fog computingBy Angelo Corsaro
wwwiotdesignembedded-computingcom IoT Design Guide 2016 23
Cost ndash In the age of smartphones and very cheap data plans most people assume that the cost of connectivity is negligible The reality is quite different in IIoT due to either bandwidth requirements or connectivity points While in consumer applications the individual person (the consumer) pays for connectivity in most IoTIIoT applications (such as smart grids) itrsquos the operator who foots the bill As a result cost is usually carefully accounted for as it has an impact on operating expense and consequently on operational costs and margins
Security ndash Finally even assuming that all the above-listed issues are addressed a large class of IoTIIoT applications are not comfortable with or are incapable due to regulation of pushing their data to a cloud
Unless you can guarantee that the connectivity bandwidth latency cost and security requirements of your application are compatible with a cloud-centric architecture you need a dif-ferent paradigm and 999 percent of the IoT platforms avail-able on the market are not of much use
Fog computing is emerging as the main paradigm to address the connectivity bandwidth latency cost and security chal-lenges imposed by cloud-centric architectures The main idea behind fog computing is to provide elastic compute storage and communication close to the things so that data neednrsquot be sent all the way to the cloud or at least not all data and not all the time And the infrastructure is designed ground-up to deal with cyber- physical systems (CPS) as opposed to IT systems In other words the infrastructure is designed to consider the constraints imposed by the interactions with the physical world in terms of latency determinism load balancing and fault-tolerance
Defining fog computingTwo trends that are at the core of the IIoT revolution are soft-warization and digital twins
Softwarization is a trend that is disrupting several industries Its mantra is the replacement of specialized hardware implementa-tions such as a programmable logic controller (PLC) on an indus-trial floor with software running in a virtualized environment
Digital twins as the name hints are a digital representation (computerized model) of a physical entity (such as a compressor or a turbine) that is animated through the live data coming from its physical brother or sister Digital twins have several applications such as monitoring diagnostics and prognostics Additionally Digital twins provide useful insights to RampD teams for improving next-generation designs as well as continuously ameliorating the fidelity of their models
As softwarization transforms specialized hardware into soft-ware it creates an opportunity for convergence and consolida-tion If we take as an example soft PLCs (ie softwarized PLCs) all of a sudden they can be deployed on commodity hardware in a virtualized environment and decoupled from the IO logic that can remain closer to the source of data As a side note
the general idea of softwarization applied to the factory floor is often referred to as software-defined machines or software-defined automation
As a result of softwarization and digital twins there is an opportunity for modernizing the factory floor consolidating its hardware and improving availability productivity manage-ability resilience to failure and innovation agility In essence as a result of softwarization there is the opportunity to manage these systems as a data center As softwarization is a trend that is impacting a large class of industries it is worth highlighting that the transformations described above along with its ben-efits are not just limited to industrial automation But there is a catch the large majority of these systems whether in the industrial transportation or medical domains are subject to the performance constraints previously discussed
These systems interact with the physical world and as such they need to react at the pace imposed by the physical entity with which they interact As a consequence while traditional cloud infrastructure would be functionally perfect to address these use cases it turns out to be inadequate as it is typi-cally not designed with these non-functional requirements in mind and is often too heavyweight Cloud infrastructures were designed for IT systems in which a delay in the response time may create a bored or upset customer but will not cause a robot arm to smash against a wall another machine or worse
Now it should be clear that fog computing is not just about applying distributed computing to the edge Fog computing is about providing an infrastructure that while virtualizing elastic compute storage and communication is able to address the non-functional properties characteristic of these domains
Fog computing makes it possible to provision and manage softwarized hardware (eg a soft PLC digital twins analytics and anything else that may need to run on the system) while ensuring the proper non-functional requirements and bringing all the benefits listed above in terms of convergence manage-ability availability agility and efficiency improvement
Fog computing provides a flexible infrastructure to provision deploy monitor and manage software at the edge This should clarify how just deploying some logic on an edge gateway isnrsquot fog computing and neither is fog computing traditional dis-tributed computing

Fluid computing Unifying cloud fog and mist computingWhat is mist computing As the name implies mist is closer to the ground than fog which in turn is closer to the ground than the cloud But beside the meteorological analogies what does this really mean As yoursquove probably guessed this means that mist computing is about bringing elastic compute storage and communication directly onto the things Thus if we continue with the meteorological analogy cloud infrastructure is high in the data center fog infrastructure is between the things and the cloud and mist infrastructure is simply the things
The goals of mist computing essentially are two
1 Enabling resource harvesting by exploiting the computation storage and communication capabilities available on the things
2 Allowing arbitrary computations to be provisioned deployed managed and monitored on the things
As you can imagine things in IoT applications are extremely heterogeneous in terms of platforms resources and con-nectivity Thus the main challenge for mist infrastructures is to be sufficiently lightweight to be able to establish a fabric that virtualizes compute storage and communication without consuming too many resources
If we look from a distance at a generic IoTIIoT system we will realize that from an infrastructural perspective we will have to deal with data centers that are in a public or private cloud edge infrastructure and the actual things IoTIIoT systems will need to exploit resources that span these three tiers and provi-sion deploy monitor and manage applications and services across the tiers On the other hand if we look at the techno-logical landscape there is a complete fragmentation between the technologies used for cloud computing fog computing and the emerging mist computing This fragmentation makes it difficult to establish a unified end-to-end perspective of the system and it makes it practically impossible to treat the system as a uniform and virtualized compute storage and communication fabric
At this point the question is ldquoWhat can we do about itrdquo
The first step toward addressing a problem is recognizing it To this end that means raising awareness about the challenges that this fragmentation may induce The second step is to establish a vision of how the problem can be solved so that the industry can internalize it and eventually address it
Letrsquos focus for a moment on what would make sense for the user of an IoTIIoT platform as opposed to the technical details of whether cloud fog or mist is the right answer
From a high-level perspective why should a designer of an IoTIIoT application care whether he or she will be using cloud fog or mist computing paradigms The only thing that really matters is that the platform provides a way to provision
manage and monitor applications in such a way that appli-cations can meet their functional and non-functional require-ments The functional and non-functional requirements drive the allocation of applications on things fog or cloud layers ndash but anything else is just a detail isnrsquot it
Fluid computing is an architectural principle based on the abstraction of the topological details of the computational infrastructure Fluid architectures provide an end-to-end fabric that can be used to seamlessly provision deploy manage and monitor applications regardless of whether the underlying resource is provided by the cloud infrastructure the fog infra-structure or by things
Fluid computing unifies under a single abstraction of cloud fog and mist computing In other words cloud fog and mist computing can be seen as application of fluid computing in a specific bounded context
As the IoTIIoT market evolves expect a convergence of cloud fog and mist computing platforms toward a fluid computing platform This convergence will be necessary if not essential to accelerate the adoption of IoT

CIA and TPM to secure the IoTBy Guenther Fischer
CIA TPM and IoT You might ask what these three acronyms have in common and how they relate to each other
To make a long story short it is all about security trust and reliability
The abbreviation CIA in this context does not mean the Central Intelligence Agency It is an abbreviation for Confidentiality Integrity and Authenticity The so-called CIA principle is a simple but widely used security model covering three key tenets that should be guaranteed by all secure systems
Confidentiality is intended in the sense of hiding information from people not authorized to view it It is perhaps the most obvious aspect of the CIA model when it comes to security At the same time it is also the one most under attack Cryptographic symmetric and asymmetric encryption methods are examples of means to ensure confidentiality when transmitting data from one computer system to another
Integrity on the other hand represents the certainty that data is accurate and not changed on its journey from the original sender to the intended receiver A common security attack often called a man-in-the-middle attack intercepts data and makes changes to it before passing it on to the intended receiver Cryptographic digital signature methods are one way to attest the integrity of code and data
In addition authenticity is needed to address the concern about genuine information In other words you want to make sure the information you receive actually comes from the source that claims to be its genuine origin Cryptographic digital certificates are used to prove the authenticity of the issuer
Now that we understand why CIA is important for a secure system letrsquos move to the third acronym IoT
After many years of being an overhyped marketing term the so-called Internet of Things (IoT) is starting to become mature and real Mark Weiser created the term ldquoubiquitous computingrdquo first in his famous Scientific American article ldquoThe Computer for the 21st Centuryrdquo pub lished September 1991 His thinking was so ahead of his time that it seemed like science fiction to most of his readers In 2016 his vision has become reality Ubiquitous computing (or ubicomp for short) became todayrsquos ndash perhaps overhyped ndash IoT
Weiser started his article ldquoThe most profound technologies are those that disappear They weave themselves into the fabric of

everyday life until they are indistinguishable from itrdquo He pre-dicted that computing devices would become commonplace and part of all aspects of life and he was right Just consider for example the consumer gadgets like fitness bands smart watches smart phones or navigation systems that send and receive data all day long Or consider the home which is con-nected to a power grid where a smart meter allows the energy provider to effectively calculate the resources needed to cover the demand of all households Interconnected computing devices are everywhere nowadays
Shifting focus to industrial applications todayrsquos business IoT applications are developed together with devices and services coming from various sectors of industry information tech-nology automation and production technology aerospace maritime and naval systems railways car manufacturers and their suppliers energy providers agricultural medical tech-nology and building automation All of those share character-istics including long life in the field reliability and robustness in harsh environments and reliable long-term availability
IoT systems rely on public networks but public networks are not secure environments While IoT creates new capabilities and services allows greater efficiencies increases flexibility and enables the customization of single production units it also opens up previously closed systems and allows attackers to get access to those systems from the outside world
Attackers often use reverse engineering techniques to iden-tify software vulnerabilities which they can exploit to create counterfeit products steal sensitive data or tamper with the device for sabotage and espionage purposes This can lead to serious and dangerous hacks as recent attacks on safety-critical automotive aerospace and medical components have shown
This brings us back to the CIA principle we started with The only way to avoid situations like those listed above is to apply

the CIA security model to the world of IoT devices As we have learned CIA is built around cryprograhic operations Todayrsquos modern cryprography leverages standard crypto protocols The Dutch cryptographer Auguste Kerckhoffs stated a maxim in the 19th century that would become known as Kerckhoffsrsquo principle A cryptosystem should be secure even if everything about the system except for the key is public knowledge
I repeat everything is public knowledge except for the key which is needed to encrypt and decrypt the content either directly or in a derived form So how do you store a key in a secure manner This brings me to the second acronym TPM the Trusted Platform Module
In the world of cryptography there is a ton of other acronyms referring to the various protocols and methods that are used to ensure the CIA principle To name just a few of them you have DES AES for symmetric cryptography and RSA ECC for asymmetric cryptography The list of acronyms goes on and on The really important part however is that the algorithms themselves are typically not secret they are publicly available just as Kerckhoffsrsquo principle demands it The only part that really needs to be kept secret is the key itself This sounds simple but it is pretty hard to achieve To keep the key secret you need a secure place like a safe which we will call a secure element to securely store the key A TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is such a secure element and it offers a lot more including the crypto protocols
In a nutshell a TPM is a specialized and dedicated device that offers crypto operations and secure storage for secret keys all in one This allows you to store the key in a secure place and even more importantly it allows the key to stay there so it never leaves its secure location All important crypto operations are done inside of the TPM itself and only the results are exposed This prevents the key from getting compromised In case you want to know why it is important to have this dedicated functionality separated in a dedicated device I recommend you to read the following two articles These should make it obvious how impor-tant it is to have a dedicated secure element like a TPM inside a computing device to make it secure trustable and reliable
So how can incidents like these be prevented Use technology that creates secured code and licenses that can be bound to a secure element in the target system ensuring that the code and the licensed features can only be used on an individual system License creation and deployment can be integrated into existing business processes such as ERP systems or e-commerce platforms This mechanism opens up new business models such as feature-on-demand upselling and time-based or pay-per-use licenses for the IoT and other intelligent devices The result is improved security from attacks malware theft and other malfeasance for code and IP

3 Digital signatures Used to detect if a message was altered after it was signed thus providing not only integrity but also authentication These make use of public-key cryptography to generate a signature that can only be properly decrypted using the manufacturerrsquos public key
4 Message authentication code (MAC) Similar to a digital signature except that it uses symmetric keys to encrypt and decrypt a hash generated by the manufacturer If the hash value decrypted by the receiver matches the hash value calculated for the message then the message is valid In this way MACs provide both authenticity and integrity
Some factors that influence the selection of cryptographic algorithms include performance requirements the security needs of the system memory footprint energy consumption and reliability and acceptance of the algorithm by the security
community (such as organizations like the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST))
In addition to cryptographic algorithms protocol-level measures against threats such as firmware downgrading should be considered As mentioned previ-ously firmware downgrading is an attack in which an older defective firm-ware image (encrypted or not) is re-sent to a device in order to revert it to a vul-nerable state A version check of both the firmware and keys can ensure that only new versions are programmed during an update
An attacker can also interrupt a firmware update process using several methods (power loss physical connection failure bits flipped during transmission etc) This can lead to a device executing an incomplete or invalid firmware image rendering it useless or in a compromised state In order to address this scenario firmware update mechanisms need to ensure that an incomplete or corrupted image is not executed and if neces-sary should revert the system to a valid previously used image
Cryptographic bootloaders for connected embedded systemsFirmware updates are typically handled by the device bootloader A bootloader is a piece of code that resides on device memory and has the ability to reprogram the application memory space However finding or creating an embedded boot-loader with the security required for network-connected systems can be challenging For example a system may need the ability to update cryptographic keys so cryptographic functions and a bootloader protocol should support upgrading keys and increased network security during the firmware update pro-cess The bootloader protocol should also accommodate verifying firmware update versions and packet tracking to check if all packets of a specific firmware update image were received
As discussed the selection of a crypto-graphic algorithm is critical because it not only sets the level of security of the sys- tem but it also impacts its performance

Crypto-Bootloader solution imple-mented on MSP430FR5969 devices encapsulates most of the security fea-tures and considerations outlined here (Figure 3)
Securing firmware for the Internet of ThingsIn summary increasingly network embedded products are creating the potential for advanced security threats making in-field firmware updates more vulnerable to remote attacks and exploitations Therefore it is important for embedded designers to consider securing their firmware update mecha-nisms through solutions that provide the right level of security while balancing the cost power and performance con-straints of IoT products

memory footprint and power consump-tion With this in mind AES-CCM repre-sents an optimal solution for embedded bootloaders AES-CCM is a cryptographic bootloader (Crypto-Bootloader) built on two cryptographic primitives AES Counter Mode (AES-CTR) for encryp-tion and cipher block chaining message
authentication code (CBC-MAC) for integrity and authenticity verification Due to the low overhead provided by AES-CCM it provides a perfect balance between increased security and low memory footprint high throughput and efficient power consumption
The selection of an MCU implementing the bootloader should not be over-looked either Designers should con-sider MCUs with features like hardware encryption engines a memory protec-tion unit (MPU) low-power peripherals and memory technologies that allow fast readwrite cycles for increased throughput The MSP430FR5969 MCU from Texas Instruments is an example of such an MCU that integrates an AES-256 co-processor to accelerate encryption algorithms MPU and MPU-IP encap-sulation (MPU-IPE) modules to enable increased protection and encapsulation of memory regions as well as up to 64 KB of FRAM memory for high performance and ultra-low power consumption The
MSP430FR5969 MCUs integrate a Crypto-Bootloader as well as MPUMPU-IPE modules and an AES-256 security co-processor

Herersquos the thing The IoT doesnrsquot need PoCs
I made this statement the other day in a product development team meeting and received looks of shock and disbelief The company with whom I was working has customers asking for help solving a specific problem and we had a multi-disciplinary team reviewing the architecture for a solution The looks I got said ldquoHow can we begin a product development without a PoCrdquo The answer is easy when you consider the definition of a PoC
According to Wikipedia ldquoA proof of concept is a realization of a certain method or idea to demonstrate its feasibility or a demonstration in principle whose purpose is to verify that some concept or theory has the potential of being used A proof of concept is usually small and may or may not be completerdquo
ldquoFeasibilityrdquo is the key word here Feasibility is the role of technology in the Innovation Venn diagram (Figure 1) Is the product technically feasible Can we even make innovation function For the most part after nearly 15 cycles of Moorersquos law and two generations of the Internet this means ldquoDoes the product violate the laws of physicsrdquo
Today particularly in the IoT ecosystem anything is feasible Further one could argue that if the product is a pure software or Internet play it is by definition feasible
The harder questions for new prod-ucts today are the other two parts of the Innovation Venn Is the product
Gateway
I have heard complaints from several Internet of Things (IoT) sales and business leaders about how
proofs-of-concept (PoCs) are slowing them down In some cases they are just frustrated with how often
they are told ldquoWe need to do a PoCrdquo by a development team in response to a request to begin a new product
or offering development In other cases they are frustrated with how the tools used for PoCs ndash development
kits or Maker-ware devices like Arduino and Raspberry Pi ndash prevent them and their customers from deploying
scalable solutions once the concept is proven

desirable If so at what price Is the business viable These are the tough questions facing new offerings today
Therersquos the rub A PoC does nothing to address user desirability or busi-ness viability A PoC only addresses technology
ldquoYoursquove just renamed the PoC as a prototyperdquo you say But therersquos a big difference between the two
In a PoC the developer is not con-strained by manufacturing costs or user acceptance The issue is simple Can I make this offering work Maker tools are excellent for this This is one of the reasons by the way that when one looks for Maker products most of the suppliers are targeting educational organizations Education is about one example one proof that something works one PoC
A prototype however is the first itera-tion of the new product A prototype is built to a product requirements docu-ment (PRD) and that PRD has manu-facturing supply chain constraints certification constraints user experience needs and cost expectations One-off tools like Arduino or Raspberry Pi were not designed for these constraints So when a product development is started with a PoC and uses Maker tools the

development process comes to halt after the proof There is no certification path no manufacturing supply chain and no ability to meet user experience constraints ndash par-ticularly where form factor is critical
The IoT has put a slightly different spin on the product development process because of the addition of an ongoing user-supported experience Business models depend upon ongoing revenue so innovators have to address this need during development This is the role of the pilot The pilot puts the product in a sales-ready format into the hands of enough users in context to measure their adoption of sustained use of and willingness to pay for the product Figure 2 outlines the roles of PoCs prototypes and pilots in the product development process The fastest progression for product development for the IoT is PoC rarr Prototype(s) rarr Pilot rarr Product
The good news is that good suppliers of the IoT technology stack know that their offerings have to work in production have to scale and have to pass rigorous testing

Sometimes small changes make a big difference Switching your organizationrsquos thinking from proof-of-concept to proof-of-innovation is one of those changes
Three ways to tell you are wasting time with a PoC1 Examples of the offering exist in
either the lab or with competitors ndash Note that the example can be in other applications or markets For example self-driving cars moved immediately to prototypes because auto-piloted airplanes and drones provided the proof that the technology works for autonomous vehicle operations
2 No new hardware is needed ndash If your new offering depends upon the integration or is a software appli-cation of data then you are not doing a PoC Your technology is feasible it just may not be desirable or viable
3 None of the questions to be answered by the PoC effort involve the laws of physics
Three things that make a good pilot1 You have a sales-ready user
experience ndash An IoT pilot not only has to measure user adoption it also has to measure churn Too much churn will defeat the business To measure these characteristics with confidence across a statistically significant number of users the product must have a sales-ready user experience
2 The product is re-certification tested ndash Since the pilot product is not in fact sold it does not have to be marked UL CE FCC etc But it better be ready to mark As soon as the pilot validates adoption churn and price the sales team is going want to see products shipping so you canrsquot go back and do another spin Be ready
3 The supply chain is solid and meets cost expectations ndash The pilot will measure user adoption at price so if it is successful production will begin Production will have to deliver on that price so the supply chain must be solid
David Smith is Vice President of Engineering and Innovation at MultiTech Systems
They also know that they have to help product development teams move through prototyping to pilots quickly The prototypes can get early user feedback and allow forecasts of costs But the sweet spot of innovation is where users want the new product and are willing to pay a price that sustains the business In the IoT sustaining the business is complicated by recurring expense and revenue This is where the pilot comes in The pilot validates the product and the business model
PoCs are not bad but they are not often necessary in business today Perhaps the best example of this is a place where PoCs are the lifeblood of the company Google X Their mission is to make moon shots learn from failure and solve grand problems with approaches no one else is willing to try If your mission is similar then PoCs are great If you are under pressure to grow and generate new forms of revenue using digital technology beware the PoC

As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues its rapid pace of growth therersquos been no shortage of inflated
expectations Platforms promising to ease the development deployment and management of IoT systems are
now counted in the hundreds You might believe that all you have to do is pick a platform you like the best from
the vendor you trust the most and go build your IoT system Well the story is not so simple
In reality nearly all of the IoT platforms available are designed to only support cloud-centric architectures These platforms centralize the ldquointelligencerdquo in the cloud and require data to be conveyed from the edge to do anything useful with it Considering the success of this cloud-centric model in IT (and in some IoT applications like fleet management) you may wonder whatrsquos the big deal
Simply put cloud-centric architectures arenrsquot applicable to a large class of IoT applications Most notably cloud-centric architectures fall short in supporting Industrial IoT (IIoT) sys-tems and struggle with more demanding Consumer IoT (CIoT) applications
The scariest part is that the situation will only get worse with the predicted increase in the number of connected things But there are some things more fundamental limiting cloud-centric architecturesrsquo applicability for IoT systems
Connectivity ndash Cloud-centric architectures assume that sufficient connectivity exists from the things to the cloud This is necessary for collecting the data from the edge and for pushing insight or control actions from the cloud to the edge Yet connectivity
is hard to guarantee for several IoTIIoT applications such as smart autonomous consumer and agricultural vehicles As you can imagine connectivity may be taken for granted in metropolitan areas but not so much in rural areas
Bandwidth ndash Cloud-centric computing assumes that sufficient bandwidth exists to ingest the data from the edge into the data center The challenge here is that several IIoT applications produce incredible volumes of data For instance a factory can easily produce a terabyte of data per day and these numbers will only grow with the continued digitalization of factories
Latency ndash Therersquos a large class of IIoT systems for which the latency required to send data to the cloud make decisions and eventually send data toward the edge to act on these decisions may be completely incompatible with the dynamics of the underlying system A key difference between IT and IoTIIoT is that the latter deals with physical entities As such the reaction time must be compatible with the dynamics of the physical entity or process with which the application interacts Failing to react with the proper latency can lead to system instability infrastructure damage or even put human operators at risk

The IoT needs fog computingBy Angelo Corsaro
wwwiotdesignembedded-computingcom IoT Design Guide 2016 23
Cost ndash In the age of smartphones and very cheap data plans most people assume that the cost of connectivity is negligible The reality is quite different in IIoT due to either bandwidth requirements or connectivity points While in consumer applications the individual person (the consumer) pays for connectivity in most IoTIIoT applications (such as smart grids) itrsquos the operator who foots the bill As a result cost is usually carefully accounted for as it has an impact on operating expense and consequently on operational costs and margins
Security ndash Finally even assuming that all the above-listed issues are addressed a large class of IoTIIoT applications are not comfortable with or are incapable due to regulation of pushing their data to a cloud
Unless you can guarantee that the connectivity bandwidth latency cost and security requirements of your application are compatible with a cloud-centric architecture you need a dif-ferent paradigm and 999 percent of the IoT platforms avail-able on the market are not of much use
Fog computing is emerging as the main paradigm to address the connectivity bandwidth latency cost and security chal-lenges imposed by cloud-centric architectures The main idea behind fog computing is to provide elastic compute storage and communication close to the things so that data neednrsquot be sent all the way to the cloud or at least not all data and not all the time And the infrastructure is designed ground-up to deal with cyber- physical systems (CPS) as opposed to IT systems In other words the infrastructure is designed to consider the constraints imposed by the interactions with the physical world in terms of latency determinism load balancing and fault-tolerance
Defining fog computingTwo trends that are at the core of the IIoT revolution are soft-warization and digital twins
Softwarization is a trend that is disrupting several industries Its mantra is the replacement of specialized hardware implementa-tions such as a programmable logic controller (PLC) on an indus-trial floor with software running in a virtualized environment
Digital twins as the name hints are a digital representation (computerized model) of a physical entity (such as a compressor or a turbine) that is animated through the live data coming from its physical brother or sister Digital twins have several applications such as monitoring diagnostics and prognostics Additionally Digital twins provide useful insights to RampD teams for improving next-generation designs as well as continuously ameliorating the fidelity of their models
As softwarization transforms specialized hardware into soft-ware it creates an opportunity for convergence and consolida-tion If we take as an example soft PLCs (ie softwarized PLCs) all of a sudden they can be deployed on commodity hardware in a virtualized environment and decoupled from the IO logic that can remain closer to the source of data As a side note
the general idea of softwarization applied to the factory floor is often referred to as software-defined machines or software-defined automation
As a result of softwarization and digital twins there is an opportunity for modernizing the factory floor consolidating its hardware and improving availability productivity manage-ability resilience to failure and innovation agility In essence as a result of softwarization there is the opportunity to manage these systems as a data center As softwarization is a trend that is impacting a large class of industries it is worth highlighting that the transformations described above along with its ben-efits are not just limited to industrial automation But there is a catch the large majority of these systems whether in the industrial transportation or medical domains are subject to the performance constraints previously discussed
These systems interact with the physical world and as such they need to react at the pace imposed by the physical entity with which they interact As a consequence while traditional cloud infrastructure would be functionally perfect to address these use cases it turns out to be inadequate as it is typi-cally not designed with these non-functional requirements in mind and is often too heavyweight Cloud infrastructures were designed for IT systems in which a delay in the response time may create a bored or upset customer but will not cause a robot arm to smash against a wall another machine or worse
Now it should be clear that fog computing is not just about applying distributed computing to the edge Fog computing is about providing an infrastructure that while virtualizing elastic compute storage and communication is able to address the non-functional properties characteristic of these domains
Fog computing makes it possible to provision and manage softwarized hardware (eg a soft PLC digital twins analytics and anything else that may need to run on the system) while ensuring the proper non-functional requirements and bringing all the benefits listed above in terms of convergence manage-ability availability agility and efficiency improvement
Fog computing provides a flexible infrastructure to provision deploy monitor and manage software at the edge This should clarify how just deploying some logic on an edge gateway isnrsquot fog computing and neither is fog computing traditional dis-tributed computing

Fluid computing Unifying cloud fog and mist computingWhat is mist computing As the name implies mist is closer to the ground than fog which in turn is closer to the ground than the cloud But beside the meteorological analogies what does this really mean As yoursquove probably guessed this means that mist computing is about bringing elastic compute storage and communication directly onto the things Thus if we continue with the meteorological analogy cloud infrastructure is high in the data center fog infrastructure is between the things and the cloud and mist infrastructure is simply the things
The goals of mist computing essentially are two
1 Enabling resource harvesting by exploiting the computation storage and communication capabilities available on the things
2 Allowing arbitrary computations to be provisioned deployed managed and monitored on the things
As you can imagine things in IoT applications are extremely heterogeneous in terms of platforms resources and con-nectivity Thus the main challenge for mist infrastructures is to be sufficiently lightweight to be able to establish a fabric that virtualizes compute storage and communication without consuming too many resources
If we look from a distance at a generic IoTIIoT system we will realize that from an infrastructural perspective we will have to deal with data centers that are in a public or private cloud edge infrastructure and the actual things IoTIIoT systems will need to exploit resources that span these three tiers and provi-sion deploy monitor and manage applications and services across the tiers On the other hand if we look at the techno-logical landscape there is a complete fragmentation between the technologies used for cloud computing fog computing and the emerging mist computing This fragmentation makes it difficult to establish a unified end-to-end perspective of the system and it makes it practically impossible to treat the system as a uniform and virtualized compute storage and communication fabric
At this point the question is ldquoWhat can we do about itrdquo
The first step toward addressing a problem is recognizing it To this end that means raising awareness about the challenges that this fragmentation may induce The second step is to establish a vision of how the problem can be solved so that the industry can internalize it and eventually address it
Letrsquos focus for a moment on what would make sense for the user of an IoTIIoT platform as opposed to the technical details of whether cloud fog or mist is the right answer
From a high-level perspective why should a designer of an IoTIIoT application care whether he or she will be using cloud fog or mist computing paradigms The only thing that really matters is that the platform provides a way to provision
manage and monitor applications in such a way that appli-cations can meet their functional and non-functional require-ments The functional and non-functional requirements drive the allocation of applications on things fog or cloud layers ndash but anything else is just a detail isnrsquot it
Fluid computing is an architectural principle based on the abstraction of the topological details of the computational infrastructure Fluid architectures provide an end-to-end fabric that can be used to seamlessly provision deploy manage and monitor applications regardless of whether the underlying resource is provided by the cloud infrastructure the fog infra-structure or by things
Fluid computing unifies under a single abstraction of cloud fog and mist computing In other words cloud fog and mist computing can be seen as application of fluid computing in a specific bounded context
As the IoTIIoT market evolves expect a convergence of cloud fog and mist computing platforms toward a fluid computing platform This convergence will be necessary if not essential to accelerate the adoption of IoT

CIA and TPM to secure the IoTBy Guenther Fischer
CIA TPM and IoT You might ask what these three acronyms have in common and how they relate to each other
To make a long story short it is all about security trust and reliability
The abbreviation CIA in this context does not mean the Central Intelligence Agency It is an abbreviation for Confidentiality Integrity and Authenticity The so-called CIA principle is a simple but widely used security model covering three key tenets that should be guaranteed by all secure systems
Confidentiality is intended in the sense of hiding information from people not authorized to view it It is perhaps the most obvious aspect of the CIA model when it comes to security At the same time it is also the one most under attack Cryptographic symmetric and asymmetric encryption methods are examples of means to ensure confidentiality when transmitting data from one computer system to another
Integrity on the other hand represents the certainty that data is accurate and not changed on its journey from the original sender to the intended receiver A common security attack often called a man-in-the-middle attack intercepts data and makes changes to it before passing it on to the intended receiver Cryptographic digital signature methods are one way to attest the integrity of code and data
In addition authenticity is needed to address the concern about genuine information In other words you want to make sure the information you receive actually comes from the source that claims to be its genuine origin Cryptographic digital certificates are used to prove the authenticity of the issuer
Now that we understand why CIA is important for a secure system letrsquos move to the third acronym IoT
After many years of being an overhyped marketing term the so-called Internet of Things (IoT) is starting to become mature and real Mark Weiser created the term ldquoubiquitous computingrdquo first in his famous Scientific American article ldquoThe Computer for the 21st Centuryrdquo pub lished September 1991 His thinking was so ahead of his time that it seemed like science fiction to most of his readers In 2016 his vision has become reality Ubiquitous computing (or ubicomp for short) became todayrsquos ndash perhaps overhyped ndash IoT
Weiser started his article ldquoThe most profound technologies are those that disappear They weave themselves into the fabric of

everyday life until they are indistinguishable from itrdquo He pre-dicted that computing devices would become commonplace and part of all aspects of life and he was right Just consider for example the consumer gadgets like fitness bands smart watches smart phones or navigation systems that send and receive data all day long Or consider the home which is con-nected to a power grid where a smart meter allows the energy provider to effectively calculate the resources needed to cover the demand of all households Interconnected computing devices are everywhere nowadays
Shifting focus to industrial applications todayrsquos business IoT applications are developed together with devices and services coming from various sectors of industry information tech-nology automation and production technology aerospace maritime and naval systems railways car manufacturers and their suppliers energy providers agricultural medical tech-nology and building automation All of those share character-istics including long life in the field reliability and robustness in harsh environments and reliable long-term availability
IoT systems rely on public networks but public networks are not secure environments While IoT creates new capabilities and services allows greater efficiencies increases flexibility and enables the customization of single production units it also opens up previously closed systems and allows attackers to get access to those systems from the outside world
Attackers often use reverse engineering techniques to iden-tify software vulnerabilities which they can exploit to create counterfeit products steal sensitive data or tamper with the device for sabotage and espionage purposes This can lead to serious and dangerous hacks as recent attacks on safety-critical automotive aerospace and medical components have shown
This brings us back to the CIA principle we started with The only way to avoid situations like those listed above is to apply

the CIA security model to the world of IoT devices As we have learned CIA is built around cryprograhic operations Todayrsquos modern cryprography leverages standard crypto protocols The Dutch cryptographer Auguste Kerckhoffs stated a maxim in the 19th century that would become known as Kerckhoffsrsquo principle A cryptosystem should be secure even if everything about the system except for the key is public knowledge
I repeat everything is public knowledge except for the key which is needed to encrypt and decrypt the content either directly or in a derived form So how do you store a key in a secure manner This brings me to the second acronym TPM the Trusted Platform Module
In the world of cryptography there is a ton of other acronyms referring to the various protocols and methods that are used to ensure the CIA principle To name just a few of them you have DES AES for symmetric cryptography and RSA ECC for asymmetric cryptography The list of acronyms goes on and on The really important part however is that the algorithms themselves are typically not secret they are publicly available just as Kerckhoffsrsquo principle demands it The only part that really needs to be kept secret is the key itself This sounds simple but it is pretty hard to achieve To keep the key secret you need a secure place like a safe which we will call a secure element to securely store the key A TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is such a secure element and it offers a lot more including the crypto protocols
In a nutshell a TPM is a specialized and dedicated device that offers crypto operations and secure storage for secret keys all in one This allows you to store the key in a secure place and even more importantly it allows the key to stay there so it never leaves its secure location All important crypto operations are done inside of the TPM itself and only the results are exposed This prevents the key from getting compromised In case you want to know why it is important to have this dedicated functionality separated in a dedicated device I recommend you to read the following two articles These should make it obvious how impor-tant it is to have a dedicated secure element like a TPM inside a computing device to make it secure trustable and reliable
So how can incidents like these be prevented Use technology that creates secured code and licenses that can be bound to a secure element in the target system ensuring that the code and the licensed features can only be used on an individual system License creation and deployment can be integrated into existing business processes such as ERP systems or e-commerce platforms This mechanism opens up new business models such as feature-on-demand upselling and time-based or pay-per-use licenses for the IoT and other intelligent devices The result is improved security from attacks malware theft and other malfeasance for code and IP

Crypto-Bootloader solution imple-mented on MSP430FR5969 devices encapsulates most of the security fea-tures and considerations outlined here (Figure 3)
Securing firmware for the Internet of ThingsIn summary increasingly network embedded products are creating the potential for advanced security threats making in-field firmware updates more vulnerable to remote attacks and exploitations Therefore it is important for embedded designers to consider securing their firmware update mecha-nisms through solutions that provide the right level of security while balancing the cost power and performance con-straints of IoT products
Bhargavi Nisarga is a Systems Engineer at Texas Instruments
Luis Reynoso is a Systems Applications Engineer at Texas Instruments
memory footprint and power consump-tion With this in mind AES-CCM repre-sents an optimal solution for embedded bootloaders AES-CCM is a cryptographic bootloader (Crypto-Bootloader) built on two cryptographic primitives AES Counter Mode (AES-CTR) for encryp-tion and cipher block chaining message
authentication code (CBC-MAC) for integrity and authenticity verification Due to the low overhead provided by AES-CCM it provides a perfect balance between increased security and low memory footprint high throughput and efficient power consumption
The selection of an MCU implementing the bootloader should not be over-looked either Designers should con-sider MCUs with features like hardware encryption engines a memory protec-tion unit (MPU) low-power peripherals and memory technologies that allow fast readwrite cycles for increased throughput The MSP430FR5969 MCU from Texas Instruments is an example of such an MCU that integrates an AES-256 co-processor to accelerate encryption algorithms MPU and MPU-IP encap-sulation (MPU-IPE) modules to enable increased protection and encapsulation of memory regions as well as up to 64 KB of FRAM memory for high performance and ultra-low power consumption The
MSP430FR5969 MCUs integrate a Crypto-Bootloader as well as MPUMPU-IPE modules and an AES-256 security co-processor

Herersquos the thing The IoT doesnrsquot need PoCs
I made this statement the other day in a product development team meeting and received looks of shock and disbelief The company with whom I was working has customers asking for help solving a specific problem and we had a multi-disciplinary team reviewing the architecture for a solution The looks I got said ldquoHow can we begin a product development without a PoCrdquo The answer is easy when you consider the definition of a PoC
According to Wikipedia ldquoA proof of concept is a realization of a certain method or idea to demonstrate its feasibility or a demonstration in principle whose purpose is to verify that some concept or theory has the potential of being used A proof of concept is usually small and may or may not be completerdquo
ldquoFeasibilityrdquo is the key word here Feasibility is the role of technology in the Innovation Venn diagram (Figure 1) Is the product technically feasible Can we even make innovation function For the most part after nearly 15 cycles of Moorersquos law and two generations of the Internet this means ldquoDoes the product violate the laws of physicsrdquo
Today particularly in the IoT ecosystem anything is feasible Further one could argue that if the product is a pure software or Internet play it is by definition feasible
The harder questions for new prod-ucts today are the other two parts of the Innovation Venn Is the product
Gateway
I have heard complaints from several Internet of Things (IoT) sales and business leaders about how
proofs-of-concept (PoCs) are slowing them down In some cases they are just frustrated with how often
they are told ldquoWe need to do a PoCrdquo by a development team in response to a request to begin a new product
or offering development In other cases they are frustrated with how the tools used for PoCs ndash development
kits or Maker-ware devices like Arduino and Raspberry Pi ndash prevent them and their customers from deploying
scalable solutions once the concept is proven
The IoT doesnrsquot need PoCsBy David Smith

desirable If so at what price Is the business viable These are the tough questions facing new offerings today
Therersquos the rub A PoC does nothing to address user desirability or busi-ness viability A PoC only addresses technology
ldquoYoursquove just renamed the PoC as a prototyperdquo you say But therersquos a big difference between the two
In a PoC the developer is not con-strained by manufacturing costs or user acceptance The issue is simple Can I make this offering work Maker tools are excellent for this This is one of the reasons by the way that when one looks for Maker products most of the suppliers are targeting educational organizations Education is about one example one proof that something works one PoC
A prototype however is the first itera-tion of the new product A prototype is built to a product requirements docu-ment (PRD) and that PRD has manu-facturing supply chain constraints certification constraints user experience needs and cost expectations One-off tools like Arduino or Raspberry Pi were not designed for these constraints So when a product development is started with a PoC and uses Maker tools the

The IoT has put a slightly different spin on the product development process because of the addition of an ongoing user-supported experience Business models depend upon ongoing revenue so innovators have to address this need during development This is the role of the pilot The pilot puts the product in a sales-ready format into the hands of enough users in context to measure their adoption of sustained use of and willingness to pay for the product Figure 2 outlines the roles of PoCs prototypes and pilots in the product development process The fastest progression for product development for the IoT is PoC rarr Prototype(s) rarr Pilot rarr Product
The good news is that good suppliers of the IoT technology stack know that their offerings have to work in production have to scale and have to pass rigorous testing

Sometimes small changes make a big difference Switching your organizationrsquos thinking from proof-of-concept to proof-of-innovation is one of those changes
Three ways to tell you are wasting time with a PoC1 Examples of the offering exist in
either the lab or with competitors ndash Note that the example can be in other applications or markets For example self-driving cars moved immediately to prototypes because auto-piloted airplanes and drones provided the proof that the technology works for autonomous vehicle operations
2 No new hardware is needed ndash If your new offering depends upon the integration or is a software appli-cation of data then you are not doing a PoC Your technology is feasible it just may not be desirable or viable
3 None of the questions to be answered by the PoC effort involve the laws of physics
Three things that make a good pilot1 You have a sales-ready user
experience ndash An IoT pilot not only has to measure user adoption it also has to measure churn Too much churn will defeat the business To measure these characteristics with confidence across a statistically significant number of users the product must have a sales-ready user experience
2 The product is re-certification tested ndash Since the pilot product is not in fact sold it does not have to be marked UL CE FCC etc But it better be ready to mark As soon as the pilot validates adoption churn and price the sales team is going want to see products shipping so you canrsquot go back and do another spin Be ready
3 The supply chain is solid and meets cost expectations ndash The pilot will measure user adoption at price so if it is successful production will begin Production will have to deliver on that price so the supply chain must be solid
David Smith is Vice President of Engineering and Innovation at MultiTech Systems
They also know that they have to help product development teams move through prototyping to pilots quickly The prototypes can get early user feedback and allow forecasts of costs But the sweet spot of innovation is where users want the new product and are willing to pay a price that sustains the business In the IoT sustaining the business is complicated by recurring expense and revenue This is where the pilot comes in The pilot validates the product and the business model
PoCs are not bad but they are not often necessary in business today Perhaps the best example of this is a place where PoCs are the lifeblood of the company Google X Their mission is to make moon shots learn from failure and solve grand problems with approaches no one else is willing to try If your mission is similar then PoCs are great If you are under pressure to grow and generate new forms of revenue using digital technology beware the PoC

As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues its rapid pace of growth therersquos been no shortage of inflated
expectations Platforms promising to ease the development deployment and management of IoT systems are
now counted in the hundreds You might believe that all you have to do is pick a platform you like the best from
the vendor you trust the most and go build your IoT system Well the story is not so simple
In reality nearly all of the IoT platforms available are designed to only support cloud-centric architectures These platforms centralize the ldquointelligencerdquo in the cloud and require data to be conveyed from the edge to do anything useful with it Considering the success of this cloud-centric model in IT (and in some IoT applications like fleet management) you may wonder whatrsquos the big deal
Simply put cloud-centric architectures arenrsquot applicable to a large class of IoT applications Most notably cloud-centric architectures fall short in supporting Industrial IoT (IIoT) sys-tems and struggle with more demanding Consumer IoT (CIoT) applications
The scariest part is that the situation will only get worse with the predicted increase in the number of connected things But there are some things more fundamental limiting cloud-centric architecturesrsquo applicability for IoT systems
Connectivity ndash Cloud-centric architectures assume that sufficient connectivity exists from the things to the cloud This is necessary for collecting the data from the edge and for pushing insight or control actions from the cloud to the edge Yet connectivity
is hard to guarantee for several IoTIIoT applications such as smart autonomous consumer and agricultural vehicles As you can imagine connectivity may be taken for granted in metropolitan areas but not so much in rural areas
Bandwidth ndash Cloud-centric computing assumes that sufficient bandwidth exists to ingest the data from the edge into the data center The challenge here is that several IIoT applications produce incredible volumes of data For instance a factory can easily produce a terabyte of data per day and these numbers will only grow with the continued digitalization of factories
Latency ndash Therersquos a large class of IIoT systems for which the latency required to send data to the cloud make decisions and eventually send data toward the edge to act on these decisions may be completely incompatible with the dynamics of the underlying system A key difference between IT and IoTIIoT is that the latter deals with physical entities As such the reaction time must be compatible with the dynamics of the physical entity or process with which the application interacts Failing to react with the proper latency can lead to system instability infrastructure damage or even put human operators at risk
Cloud
The IoT needs fog computingBy Angelo Corsaro
wwwiotdesignembedded-computingcom IoT Design Guide 2016 23
Cost ndash In the age of smartphones and very cheap data plans most people assume that the cost of connectivity is negligible The reality is quite different in IIoT due to either bandwidth requirements or connectivity points While in consumer applications the individual person (the consumer) pays for connectivity in most IoTIIoT applications (such as smart grids) itrsquos the operator who foots the bill As a result cost is usually carefully accounted for as it has an impact on operating expense and consequently on operational costs and margins
Security ndash Finally even assuming that all the above-listed issues are addressed a large class of IoTIIoT applications are not comfortable with or are incapable due to regulation of pushing their data to a cloud
Unless you can guarantee that the connectivity bandwidth latency cost and security requirements of your application are compatible with a cloud-centric architecture you need a dif-ferent paradigm and 999 percent of the IoT platforms avail-able on the market are not of much use
Fog computing is emerging as the main paradigm to address the connectivity bandwidth latency cost and security chal-lenges imposed by cloud-centric architectures The main idea behind fog computing is to provide elastic compute storage and communication close to the things so that data neednrsquot be sent all the way to the cloud or at least not all data and not all the time And the infrastructure is designed ground-up to deal with cyber- physical systems (CPS) as opposed to IT systems In other words the infrastructure is designed to consider the constraints imposed by the interactions with the physical world in terms of latency determinism load balancing and fault-tolerance
Defining fog computingTwo trends that are at the core of the IIoT revolution are soft-warization and digital twins
Softwarization is a trend that is disrupting several industries Its mantra is the replacement of specialized hardware implementa-tions such as a programmable logic controller (PLC) on an indus-trial floor with software running in a virtualized environment
Digital twins as the name hints are a digital representation (computerized model) of a physical entity (such as a compressor or a turbine) that is animated through the live data coming from its physical brother or sister Digital twins have several applications such as monitoring diagnostics and prognostics Additionally Digital twins provide useful insights to RampD teams for improving next-generation designs as well as continuously ameliorating the fidelity of their models
As softwarization transforms specialized hardware into soft-ware it creates an opportunity for convergence and consolida-tion If we take as an example soft PLCs (ie softwarized PLCs) all of a sudden they can be deployed on commodity hardware in a virtualized environment and decoupled from the IO logic that can remain closer to the source of data As a side note
the general idea of softwarization applied to the factory floor is often referred to as software-defined machines or software-defined automation
As a result of softwarization and digital twins there is an opportunity for modernizing the factory floor consolidating its hardware and improving availability productivity manage-ability resilience to failure and innovation agility In essence as a result of softwarization there is the opportunity to manage these systems as a data center As softwarization is a trend that is impacting a large class of industries it is worth highlighting that the transformations described above along with its ben-efits are not just limited to industrial automation But there is a catch the large majority of these systems whether in the industrial transportation or medical domains are subject to the performance constraints previously discussed
These systems interact with the physical world and as such they need to react at the pace imposed by the physical entity with which they interact As a consequence while traditional cloud infrastructure would be functionally perfect to address these use cases it turns out to be inadequate as it is typi-cally not designed with these non-functional requirements in mind and is often too heavyweight Cloud infrastructures were designed for IT systems in which a delay in the response time may create a bored or upset customer but will not cause a robot arm to smash against a wall another machine or worse
Now it should be clear that fog computing is not just about applying distributed computing to the edge Fog computing is about providing an infrastructure that while virtualizing elastic compute storage and communication is able to address the non-functional properties characteristic of these domains
Fog computing makes it possible to provision and manage softwarized hardware (eg a soft PLC digital twins analytics and anything else that may need to run on the system) while ensuring the proper non-functional requirements and bringing all the benefits listed above in terms of convergence manage-ability availability agility and efficiency improvement
Fog computing provides a flexible infrastructure to provision deploy monitor and manage software at the edge This should clarify how just deploying some logic on an edge gateway isnrsquot fog computing and neither is fog computing traditional dis-tributed computing

Fluid computing Unifying cloud fog and mist computingWhat is mist computing As the name implies mist is closer to the ground than fog which in turn is closer to the ground than the cloud But beside the meteorological analogies what does this really mean As yoursquove probably guessed this means that mist computing is about bringing elastic compute storage and communication directly onto the things Thus if we continue with the meteorological analogy cloud infrastructure is high in the data center fog infrastructure is between the things and the cloud and mist infrastructure is simply the things
The goals of mist computing essentially are two
1 Enabling resource harvesting by exploiting the computation storage and communication capabilities available on the things
2 Allowing arbitrary computations to be provisioned deployed managed and monitored on the things
As you can imagine things in IoT applications are extremely heterogeneous in terms of platforms resources and con-nectivity Thus the main challenge for mist infrastructures is to be sufficiently lightweight to be able to establish a fabric that virtualizes compute storage and communication without consuming too many resources
If we look from a distance at a generic IoTIIoT system we will realize that from an infrastructural perspective we will have to deal with data centers that are in a public or private cloud edge infrastructure and the actual things IoTIIoT systems will need to exploit resources that span these three tiers and provi-sion deploy monitor and manage applications and services across the tiers On the other hand if we look at the techno-logical landscape there is a complete fragmentation between the technologies used for cloud computing fog computing and the emerging mist computing This fragmentation makes it difficult to establish a unified end-to-end perspective of the system and it makes it practically impossible to treat the system as a uniform and virtualized compute storage and communication fabric
At this point the question is ldquoWhat can we do about itrdquo
The first step toward addressing a problem is recognizing it To this end that means raising awareness about the challenges that this fragmentation may induce The second step is to establish a vision of how the problem can be solved so that the industry can internalize it and eventually address it
Letrsquos focus for a moment on what would make sense for the user of an IoTIIoT platform as opposed to the technical details of whether cloud fog or mist is the right answer
From a high-level perspective why should a designer of an IoTIIoT application care whether he or she will be using cloud fog or mist computing paradigms The only thing that really matters is that the platform provides a way to provision
manage and monitor applications in such a way that appli-cations can meet their functional and non-functional require-ments The functional and non-functional requirements drive the allocation of applications on things fog or cloud layers ndash but anything else is just a detail isnrsquot it
Fluid computing is an architectural principle based on the abstraction of the topological details of the computational infrastructure Fluid architectures provide an end-to-end fabric that can be used to seamlessly provision deploy manage and monitor applications regardless of whether the underlying resource is provided by the cloud infrastructure the fog infra-structure or by things
Fluid computing unifies under a single abstraction of cloud fog and mist computing In other words cloud fog and mist computing can be seen as application of fluid computing in a specific bounded context
As the IoTIIoT market evolves expect a convergence of cloud fog and mist computing platforms toward a fluid computing platform This convergence will be necessary if not essential to accelerate the adoption of IoT

CIA and TPM to secure the IoTBy Guenther Fischer
CIA TPM and IoT You might ask what these three acronyms have in common and how they relate to each other
To make a long story short it is all about security trust and reliability
The abbreviation CIA in this context does not mean the Central Intelligence Agency It is an abbreviation for Confidentiality Integrity and Authenticity The so-called CIA principle is a simple but widely used security model covering three key tenets that should be guaranteed by all secure systems
Confidentiality is intended in the sense of hiding information from people not authorized to view it It is perhaps the most obvious aspect of the CIA model when it comes to security At the same time it is also the one most under attack Cryptographic symmetric and asymmetric encryption methods are examples of means to ensure confidentiality when transmitting data from one computer system to another
Integrity on the other hand represents the certainty that data is accurate and not changed on its journey from the original sender to the intended receiver A common security attack often called a man-in-the-middle attack intercepts data and makes changes to it before passing it on to the intended receiver Cryptographic digital signature methods are one way to attest the integrity of code and data
In addition authenticity is needed to address the concern about genuine information In other words you want to make sure the information you receive actually comes from the source that claims to be its genuine origin Cryptographic digital certificates are used to prove the authenticity of the issuer
Now that we understand why CIA is important for a secure system letrsquos move to the third acronym IoT
After many years of being an overhyped marketing term the so-called Internet of Things (IoT) is starting to become mature and real Mark Weiser created the term ldquoubiquitous computingrdquo first in his famous Scientific American article ldquoThe Computer for the 21st Centuryrdquo pub lished September 1991 His thinking was so ahead of his time that it seemed like science fiction to most of his readers In 2016 his vision has become reality Ubiquitous computing (or ubicomp for short) became todayrsquos ndash perhaps overhyped ndash IoT
Weiser started his article ldquoThe most profound technologies are those that disappear They weave themselves into the fabric of

everyday life until they are indistinguishable from itrdquo He pre-dicted that computing devices would become commonplace and part of all aspects of life and he was right Just consider for example the consumer gadgets like fitness bands smart watches smart phones or navigation systems that send and receive data all day long Or consider the home which is con-nected to a power grid where a smart meter allows the energy provider to effectively calculate the resources needed to cover the demand of all households Interconnected computing devices are everywhere nowadays
Shifting focus to industrial applications todayrsquos business IoT applications are developed together with devices and services coming from various sectors of industry information tech-nology automation and production technology aerospace maritime and naval systems railways car manufacturers and their suppliers energy providers agricultural medical tech-nology and building automation All of those share character-istics including long life in the field reliability and robustness in harsh environments and reliable long-term availability
IoT systems rely on public networks but public networks are not secure environments While IoT creates new capabilities and services allows greater efficiencies increases flexibility and enables the customization of single production units it also opens up previously closed systems and allows attackers to get access to those systems from the outside world
Attackers often use reverse engineering techniques to iden-tify software vulnerabilities which they can exploit to create counterfeit products steal sensitive data or tamper with the device for sabotage and espionage purposes This can lead to serious and dangerous hacks as recent attacks on safety-critical automotive aerospace and medical components have shown
This brings us back to the CIA principle we started with The only way to avoid situations like those listed above is to apply

the CIA security model to the world of IoT devices As we have learned CIA is built around cryprograhic operations Todayrsquos modern cryprography leverages standard crypto protocols The Dutch cryptographer Auguste Kerckhoffs stated a maxim in the 19th century that would become known as Kerckhoffsrsquo principle A cryptosystem should be secure even if everything about the system except for the key is public knowledge
I repeat everything is public knowledge except for the key which is needed to encrypt and decrypt the content either directly or in a derived form So how do you store a key in a secure manner This brings me to the second acronym TPM the Trusted Platform Module
In the world of cryptography there is a ton of other acronyms referring to the various protocols and methods that are used to ensure the CIA principle To name just a few of them you have DES AES for symmetric cryptography and RSA ECC for asymmetric cryptography The list of acronyms goes on and on The really important part however is that the algorithms themselves are typically not secret they are publicly available just as Kerckhoffsrsquo principle demands it The only part that really needs to be kept secret is the key itself This sounds simple but it is pretty hard to achieve To keep the key secret you need a secure place like a safe which we will call a secure element to securely store the key A TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is such a secure element and it offers a lot more including the crypto protocols
In a nutshell a TPM is a specialized and dedicated device that offers crypto operations and secure storage for secret keys all in one This allows you to store the key in a secure place and even more importantly it allows the key to stay there so it never leaves its secure location All important crypto operations are done inside of the TPM itself and only the results are exposed This prevents the key from getting compromised In case you want to know why it is important to have this dedicated functionality separated in a dedicated device I recommend you to read the following two articles These should make it obvious how impor-tant it is to have a dedicated secure element like a TPM inside a computing device to make it secure trustable and reliable
So how can incidents like these be prevented Use technology that creates secured code and licenses that can be bound to a secure element in the target system ensuring that the code and the licensed features can only be used on an individual system License creation and deployment can be integrated into existing business processes such as ERP systems or e-commerce platforms This mechanism opens up new business models such as feature-on-demand upselling and time-based or pay-per-use licenses for the IoT and other intelligent devices The result is improved security from attacks malware theft and other malfeasance for code and IP

Herersquos the thing The IoT doesnrsquot need PoCs
I made this statement the other day in a product development team meeting and received looks of shock and disbelief The company with whom I was working has customers asking for help solving a specific problem and we had a multi-disciplinary team reviewing the architecture for a solution The looks I got said ldquoHow can we begin a product development without a PoCrdquo The answer is easy when you consider the definition of a PoC
According to Wikipedia ldquoA proof of concept is a realization of a certain method or idea to demonstrate its feasibility or a demonstration in principle whose purpose is to verify that some concept or theory has the potential of being used A proof of concept is usually small and may or may not be completerdquo
ldquoFeasibilityrdquo is the key word here Feasibility is the role of technology in the Innovation Venn diagram (Figure 1) Is the product technically feasible Can we even make innovation function For the most part after nearly 15 cycles of Moorersquos law and two generations of the Internet this means ldquoDoes the product violate the laws of physicsrdquo
Today particularly in the IoT ecosystem anything is feasible Further one could argue that if the product is a pure software or Internet play it is by definition feasible
The harder questions for new prod-ucts today are the other two parts of the Innovation Venn Is the product
Gateway
I have heard complaints from several Internet of Things (IoT) sales and business leaders about how
proofs-of-concept (PoCs) are slowing them down In some cases they are just frustrated with how often
they are told ldquoWe need to do a PoCrdquo by a development team in response to a request to begin a new product
or offering development In other cases they are frustrated with how the tools used for PoCs ndash development
kits or Maker-ware devices like Arduino and Raspberry Pi ndash prevent them and their customers from deploying
scalable solutions once the concept is proven

desirable If so at what price Is the business viable These are the tough questions facing new offerings today
Therersquos the rub A PoC does nothing to address user desirability or busi-ness viability A PoC only addresses technology
ldquoYoursquove just renamed the PoC as a prototyperdquo you say But therersquos a big difference between the two
In a PoC the developer is not con-strained by manufacturing costs or user acceptance The issue is simple Can I make this offering work Maker tools are excellent for this This is one of the reasons by the way that when one looks for Maker products most of the suppliers are targeting educational organizations Education is about one example one proof that something works one PoC
A prototype however is the first itera-tion of the new product A prototype is built to a product requirements docu-ment (PRD) and that PRD has manu-facturing supply chain constraints certification constraints user experience needs and cost expectations One-off tools like Arduino or Raspberry Pi were not designed for these constraints So when a product development is started with a PoC and uses Maker tools the

development process comes to halt after the proof There is no certification path no manufacturing supply chain and no ability to meet user experience constraints ndash par-ticularly where form factor is critical
The IoT has put a slightly different spin on the product development process because of the addition of an ongoing user-supported experience Business models depend upon ongoing revenue so innovators have to address this need during development This is the role of the pilot The pilot puts the product in a sales-ready format into the hands of enough users in context to measure their adoption of sustained use of and willingness to pay for the product Figure 2 outlines the roles of PoCs prototypes and pilots in the product development process The fastest progression for product development for the IoT is PoC rarr Prototype(s) rarr Pilot rarr Product
The good news is that good suppliers of the IoT technology stack know that their offerings have to work in production have to scale and have to pass rigorous testing

Sometimes small changes make a big difference Switching your organizationrsquos thinking from proof-of-concept to proof-of-innovation is one of those changes
Three ways to tell you are wasting time with a PoC1 Examples of the offering exist in
either the lab or with competitors ndash Note that the example can be in other applications or markets For example self-driving cars moved immediately to prototypes because auto-piloted airplanes and drones provided the proof that the technology works for autonomous vehicle operations
2 No new hardware is needed ndash If your new offering depends upon the integration or is a software appli-cation of data then you are not doing a PoC Your technology is feasible it just may not be desirable or viable
3 None of the questions to be answered by the PoC effort involve the laws of physics
Three things that make a good pilot1 You have a sales-ready user
experience ndash An IoT pilot not only has to measure user adoption it also has to measure churn Too much churn will defeat the business To measure these characteristics with confidence across a statistically significant number of users the product must have a sales-ready user experience
2 The product is re-certification tested ndash Since the pilot product is not in fact sold it does not have to be marked UL CE FCC etc But it better be ready to mark As soon as the pilot validates adoption churn and price the sales team is going want to see products shipping so you canrsquot go back and do another spin Be ready
3 The supply chain is solid and meets cost expectations ndash The pilot will measure user adoption at price so if it is successful production will begin Production will have to deliver on that price so the supply chain must be solid
David Smith is Vice President of Engineering and Innovation at MultiTech Systems
They also know that they have to help product development teams move through prototyping to pilots quickly The prototypes can get early user feedback and allow forecasts of costs But the sweet spot of innovation is where users want the new product and are willing to pay a price that sustains the business In the IoT sustaining the business is complicated by recurring expense and revenue This is where the pilot comes in The pilot validates the product and the business model
PoCs are not bad but they are not often necessary in business today Perhaps the best example of this is a place where PoCs are the lifeblood of the company Google X Their mission is to make moon shots learn from failure and solve grand problems with approaches no one else is willing to try If your mission is similar then PoCs are great If you are under pressure to grow and generate new forms of revenue using digital technology beware the PoC

As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues its rapid pace of growth therersquos been no shortage of inflated
expectations Platforms promising to ease the development deployment and management of IoT systems are
now counted in the hundreds You might believe that all you have to do is pick a platform you like the best from
the vendor you trust the most and go build your IoT system Well the story is not so simple
In reality nearly all of the IoT platforms available are designed to only support cloud-centric architectures These platforms centralize the ldquointelligencerdquo in the cloud and require data to be conveyed from the edge to do anything useful with it Considering the success of this cloud-centric model in IT (and in some IoT applications like fleet management) you may wonder whatrsquos the big deal
Simply put cloud-centric architectures arenrsquot applicable to a large class of IoT applications Most notably cloud-centric architectures fall short in supporting Industrial IoT (IIoT) sys-tems and struggle with more demanding Consumer IoT (CIoT) applications
The scariest part is that the situation will only get worse with the predicted increase in the number of connected things But there are some things more fundamental limiting cloud-centric architecturesrsquo applicability for IoT systems
Connectivity ndash Cloud-centric architectures assume that sufficient connectivity exists from the things to the cloud This is necessary for collecting the data from the edge and for pushing insight or control actions from the cloud to the edge Yet connectivity
is hard to guarantee for several IoTIIoT applications such as smart autonomous consumer and agricultural vehicles As you can imagine connectivity may be taken for granted in metropolitan areas but not so much in rural areas
Bandwidth ndash Cloud-centric computing assumes that sufficient bandwidth exists to ingest the data from the edge into the data center The challenge here is that several IIoT applications produce incredible volumes of data For instance a factory can easily produce a terabyte of data per day and these numbers will only grow with the continued digitalization of factories
Latency ndash Therersquos a large class of IIoT systems for which the latency required to send data to the cloud make decisions and eventually send data toward the edge to act on these decisions may be completely incompatible with the dynamics of the underlying system A key difference between IT and IoTIIoT is that the latter deals with physical entities As such the reaction time must be compatible with the dynamics of the physical entity or process with which the application interacts Failing to react with the proper latency can lead to system instability infrastructure damage or even put human operators at risk
Cloud
The IoT needs fog computingBy Angelo Corsaro
wwwiotdesignembedded-computingcom IoT Design Guide 2016 23
Cost ndash In the age of smartphones and very cheap data plans most people assume that the cost of connectivity is negligible The reality is quite different in IIoT due to either bandwidth requirements or connectivity points While in consumer applications the individual person (the consumer) pays for connectivity in most IoTIIoT applications (such as smart grids) itrsquos the operator who foots the bill As a result cost is usually carefully accounted for as it has an impact on operating expense and consequently on operational costs and margins
Security ndash Finally even assuming that all the above-listed issues are addressed a large class of IoTIIoT applications are not comfortable with or are incapable due to regulation of pushing their data to a cloud
Unless you can guarantee that the connectivity bandwidth latency cost and security requirements of your application are compatible with a cloud-centric architecture you need a dif-ferent paradigm and 999 percent of the IoT platforms avail-able on the market are not of much use
Fog computing is emerging as the main paradigm to address the connectivity bandwidth latency cost and security chal-lenges imposed by cloud-centric architectures The main idea behind fog computing is to provide elastic compute storage and communication close to the things so that data neednrsquot be sent all the way to the cloud or at least not all data and not all the time And the infrastructure is designed ground-up to deal with cyber- physical systems (CPS) as opposed to IT systems In other words the infrastructure is designed to consider the constraints imposed by the interactions with the physical world in terms of latency determinism load balancing and fault-tolerance
Defining fog computingTwo trends that are at the core of the IIoT revolution are soft-warization and digital twins
Softwarization is a trend that is disrupting several industries Its mantra is the replacement of specialized hardware implementa-tions such as a programmable logic controller (PLC) on an indus-trial floor with software running in a virtualized environment
Digital twins as the name hints are a digital representation (computerized model) of a physical entity (such as a compressor or a turbine) that is animated through the live data coming from its physical brother or sister Digital twins have several applications such as monitoring diagnostics and prognostics Additionally Digital twins provide useful insights to RampD teams for improving next-generation designs as well as continuously ameliorating the fidelity of their models
As softwarization transforms specialized hardware into soft-ware it creates an opportunity for convergence and consolida-tion If we take as an example soft PLCs (ie softwarized PLCs) all of a sudden they can be deployed on commodity hardware in a virtualized environment and decoupled from the IO logic that can remain closer to the source of data As a side note
the general idea of softwarization applied to the factory floor is often referred to as software-defined machines or software-defined automation
As a result of softwarization and digital twins there is an opportunity for modernizing the factory floor consolidating its hardware and improving availability productivity manage-ability resilience to failure and innovation agility In essence as a result of softwarization there is the opportunity to manage these systems as a data center As softwarization is a trend that is impacting a large class of industries it is worth highlighting that the transformations described above along with its ben-efits are not just limited to industrial automation But there is a catch the large majority of these systems whether in the industrial transportation or medical domains are subject to the performance constraints previously discussed
These systems interact with the physical world and as such they need to react at the pace imposed by the physical entity with which they interact As a consequence while traditional cloud infrastructure would be functionally perfect to address these use cases it turns out to be inadequate as it is typi-cally not designed with these non-functional requirements in mind and is often too heavyweight Cloud infrastructures were designed for IT systems in which a delay in the response time may create a bored or upset customer but will not cause a robot arm to smash against a wall another machine or worse
Now it should be clear that fog computing is not just about applying distributed computing to the edge Fog computing is about providing an infrastructure that while virtualizing elastic compute storage and communication is able to address the non-functional properties characteristic of these domains
Fog computing makes it possible to provision and manage softwarized hardware (eg a soft PLC digital twins analytics and anything else that may need to run on the system) while ensuring the proper non-functional requirements and bringing all the benefits listed above in terms of convergence manage-ability availability agility and efficiency improvement
Fog computing provides a flexible infrastructure to provision deploy monitor and manage software at the edge This should clarify how just deploying some logic on an edge gateway isnrsquot fog computing and neither is fog computing traditional dis-tributed computing

Fluid computing Unifying cloud fog and mist computingWhat is mist computing As the name implies mist is closer to the ground than fog which in turn is closer to the ground than the cloud But beside the meteorological analogies what does this really mean As yoursquove probably guessed this means that mist computing is about bringing elastic compute storage and communication directly onto the things Thus if we continue with the meteorological analogy cloud infrastructure is high in the data center fog infrastructure is between the things and the cloud and mist infrastructure is simply the things
The goals of mist computing essentially are two
1 Enabling resource harvesting by exploiting the computation storage and communication capabilities available on the things
2 Allowing arbitrary computations to be provisioned deployed managed and monitored on the things
As you can imagine things in IoT applications are extremely heterogeneous in terms of platforms resources and con-nectivity Thus the main challenge for mist infrastructures is to be sufficiently lightweight to be able to establish a fabric that virtualizes compute storage and communication without consuming too many resources
If we look from a distance at a generic IoTIIoT system we will realize that from an infrastructural perspective we will have to deal with data centers that are in a public or private cloud edge infrastructure and the actual things IoTIIoT systems will need to exploit resources that span these three tiers and provi-sion deploy monitor and manage applications and services across the tiers On the other hand if we look at the techno-logical landscape there is a complete fragmentation between the technologies used for cloud computing fog computing and the emerging mist computing This fragmentation makes it difficult to establish a unified end-to-end perspective of the system and it makes it practically impossible to treat the system as a uniform and virtualized compute storage and communication fabric
At this point the question is ldquoWhat can we do about itrdquo
The first step toward addressing a problem is recognizing it To this end that means raising awareness about the challenges that this fragmentation may induce The second step is to establish a vision of how the problem can be solved so that the industry can internalize it and eventually address it
Letrsquos focus for a moment on what would make sense for the user of an IoTIIoT platform as opposed to the technical details of whether cloud fog or mist is the right answer
From a high-level perspective why should a designer of an IoTIIoT application care whether he or she will be using cloud fog or mist computing paradigms The only thing that really matters is that the platform provides a way to provision
manage and monitor applications in such a way that appli-cations can meet their functional and non-functional require-ments The functional and non-functional requirements drive the allocation of applications on things fog or cloud layers ndash but anything else is just a detail isnrsquot it
Fluid computing is an architectural principle based on the abstraction of the topological details of the computational infrastructure Fluid architectures provide an end-to-end fabric that can be used to seamlessly provision deploy manage and monitor applications regardless of whether the underlying resource is provided by the cloud infrastructure the fog infra-structure or by things
Fluid computing unifies under a single abstraction of cloud fog and mist computing In other words cloud fog and mist computing can be seen as application of fluid computing in a specific bounded context
As the IoTIIoT market evolves expect a convergence of cloud fog and mist computing platforms toward a fluid computing platform This convergence will be necessary if not essential to accelerate the adoption of IoT

CIA and TPM to secure the IoTBy Guenther Fischer
CIA TPM and IoT You might ask what these three acronyms have in common and how they relate to each other
To make a long story short it is all about security trust and reliability
The abbreviation CIA in this context does not mean the Central Intelligence Agency It is an abbreviation for Confidentiality Integrity and Authenticity The so-called CIA principle is a simple but widely used security model covering three key tenets that should be guaranteed by all secure systems
Confidentiality is intended in the sense of hiding information from people not authorized to view it It is perhaps the most obvious aspect of the CIA model when it comes to security At the same time it is also the one most under attack Cryptographic symmetric and asymmetric encryption methods are examples of means to ensure confidentiality when transmitting data from one computer system to another
Integrity on the other hand represents the certainty that data is accurate and not changed on its journey from the original sender to the intended receiver A common security attack often called a man-in-the-middle attack intercepts data and makes changes to it before passing it on to the intended receiver Cryptographic digital signature methods are one way to attest the integrity of code and data
In addition authenticity is needed to address the concern about genuine information In other words you want to make sure the information you receive actually comes from the source that claims to be its genuine origin Cryptographic digital certificates are used to prove the authenticity of the issuer
Now that we understand why CIA is important for a secure system letrsquos move to the third acronym IoT
After many years of being an overhyped marketing term the so-called Internet of Things (IoT) is starting to become mature and real Mark Weiser created the term ldquoubiquitous computingrdquo first in his famous Scientific American article ldquoThe Computer for the 21st Centuryrdquo pub lished September 1991 His thinking was so ahead of his time that it seemed like science fiction to most of his readers In 2016 his vision has become reality Ubiquitous computing (or ubicomp for short) became todayrsquos ndash perhaps overhyped ndash IoT
Weiser started his article ldquoThe most profound technologies are those that disappear They weave themselves into the fabric of

everyday life until they are indistinguishable from itrdquo He pre-dicted that computing devices would become commonplace and part of all aspects of life and he was right Just consider for example the consumer gadgets like fitness bands smart watches smart phones or navigation systems that send and receive data all day long Or consider the home which is con-nected to a power grid where a smart meter allows the energy provider to effectively calculate the resources needed to cover the demand of all households Interconnected computing devices are everywhere nowadays
Shifting focus to industrial applications todayrsquos business IoT applications are developed together with devices and services coming from various sectors of industry information tech-nology automation and production technology aerospace maritime and naval systems railways car manufacturers and their suppliers energy providers agricultural medical tech-nology and building automation All of those share character-istics including long life in the field reliability and robustness in harsh environments and reliable long-term availability
IoT systems rely on public networks but public networks are not secure environments While IoT creates new capabilities and services allows greater efficiencies increases flexibility and enables the customization of single production units it also opens up previously closed systems and allows attackers to get access to those systems from the outside world
Attackers often use reverse engineering techniques to iden-tify software vulnerabilities which they can exploit to create counterfeit products steal sensitive data or tamper with the device for sabotage and espionage purposes This can lead to serious and dangerous hacks as recent attacks on safety-critical automotive aerospace and medical components have shown
This brings us back to the CIA principle we started with The only way to avoid situations like those listed above is to apply

the CIA security model to the world of IoT devices As we have learned CIA is built around cryprograhic operations Todayrsquos modern cryprography leverages standard crypto protocols The Dutch cryptographer Auguste Kerckhoffs stated a maxim in the 19th century that would become known as Kerckhoffsrsquo principle A cryptosystem should be secure even if everything about the system except for the key is public knowledge
I repeat everything is public knowledge except for the key which is needed to encrypt and decrypt the content either directly or in a derived form So how do you store a key in a secure manner This brings me to the second acronym TPM the Trusted Platform Module
In the world of cryptography there is a ton of other acronyms referring to the various protocols and methods that are used to ensure the CIA principle To name just a few of them you have DES AES for symmetric cryptography and RSA ECC for asymmetric cryptography The list of acronyms goes on and on The really important part however is that the algorithms themselves are typically not secret they are publicly available just as Kerckhoffsrsquo principle demands it The only part that really needs to be kept secret is the key itself This sounds simple but it is pretty hard to achieve To keep the key secret you need a secure place like a safe which we will call a secure element to securely store the key A TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is such a secure element and it offers a lot more including the crypto protocols
In a nutshell a TPM is a specialized and dedicated device that offers crypto operations and secure storage for secret keys all in one This allows you to store the key in a secure place and even more importantly it allows the key to stay there so it never leaves its secure location All important crypto operations are done inside of the TPM itself and only the results are exposed This prevents the key from getting compromised In case you want to know why it is important to have this dedicated functionality separated in a dedicated device I recommend you to read the following two articles These should make it obvious how impor-tant it is to have a dedicated secure element like a TPM inside a computing device to make it secure trustable and reliable
So how can incidents like these be prevented Use technology that creates secured code and licenses that can be bound to a secure element in the target system ensuring that the code and the licensed features can only be used on an individual system License creation and deployment can be integrated into existing business processes such as ERP systems or e-commerce platforms This mechanism opens up new business models such as feature-on-demand upselling and time-based or pay-per-use licenses for the IoT and other intelligent devices The result is improved security from attacks malware theft and other malfeasance for code and IP

desirable If so at what price Is the business viable These are the tough questions facing new offerings today
Therersquos the rub A PoC does nothing to address user desirability or busi-ness viability A PoC only addresses technology
ldquoYoursquove just renamed the PoC as a prototyperdquo you say But therersquos a big difference between the two
In a PoC the developer is not con-strained by manufacturing costs or user acceptance The issue is simple Can I make this offering work Maker tools are excellent for this This is one of the reasons by the way that when one looks for Maker products most of the suppliers are targeting educational organizations Education is about one example one proof that something works one PoC
A prototype however is the first itera-tion of the new product A prototype is built to a product requirements docu-ment (PRD) and that PRD has manu-facturing supply chain constraints certification constraints user experience needs and cost expectations One-off tools like Arduino or Raspberry Pi were not designed for these constraints So when a product development is started with a PoC and uses Maker tools the

development process comes to halt after the proof There is no certification path no manufacturing supply chain and no ability to meet user experience constraints ndash par-ticularly where form factor is critical
The IoT has put a slightly different spin on the product development process because of the addition of an ongoing user-supported experience Business models depend upon ongoing revenue so innovators have to address this need during development This is the role of the pilot The pilot puts the product in a sales-ready format into the hands of enough users in context to measure their adoption of sustained use of and willingness to pay for the product Figure 2 outlines the roles of PoCs prototypes and pilots in the product development process The fastest progression for product development for the IoT is PoC rarr Prototype(s) rarr Pilot rarr Product
The good news is that good suppliers of the IoT technology stack know that their offerings have to work in production have to scale and have to pass rigorous testing

Sometimes small changes make a big difference Switching your organizationrsquos thinking from proof-of-concept to proof-of-innovation is one of those changes
Three ways to tell you are wasting time with a PoC1 Examples of the offering exist in
either the lab or with competitors ndash Note that the example can be in other applications or markets For example self-driving cars moved immediately to prototypes because auto-piloted airplanes and drones provided the proof that the technology works for autonomous vehicle operations
2 No new hardware is needed ndash If your new offering depends upon the integration or is a software appli-cation of data then you are not doing a PoC Your technology is feasible it just may not be desirable or viable
3 None of the questions to be answered by the PoC effort involve the laws of physics
Three things that make a good pilot1 You have a sales-ready user
experience ndash An IoT pilot not only has to measure user adoption it also has to measure churn Too much churn will defeat the business To measure these characteristics with confidence across a statistically significant number of users the product must have a sales-ready user experience
2 The product is re-certification tested ndash Since the pilot product is not in fact sold it does not have to be marked UL CE FCC etc But it better be ready to mark As soon as the pilot validates adoption churn and price the sales team is going want to see products shipping so you canrsquot go back and do another spin Be ready
3 The supply chain is solid and meets cost expectations ndash The pilot will measure user adoption at price so if it is successful production will begin Production will have to deliver on that price so the supply chain must be solid
David Smith is Vice President of Engineering and Innovation at MultiTech Systems
They also know that they have to help product development teams move through prototyping to pilots quickly The prototypes can get early user feedback and allow forecasts of costs But the sweet spot of innovation is where users want the new product and are willing to pay a price that sustains the business In the IoT sustaining the business is complicated by recurring expense and revenue This is where the pilot comes in The pilot validates the product and the business model
PoCs are not bad but they are not often necessary in business today Perhaps the best example of this is a place where PoCs are the lifeblood of the company Google X Their mission is to make moon shots learn from failure and solve grand problems with approaches no one else is willing to try If your mission is similar then PoCs are great If you are under pressure to grow and generate new forms of revenue using digital technology beware the PoC

As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues its rapid pace of growth therersquos been no shortage of inflated
expectations Platforms promising to ease the development deployment and management of IoT systems are
now counted in the hundreds You might believe that all you have to do is pick a platform you like the best from
the vendor you trust the most and go build your IoT system Well the story is not so simple
In reality nearly all of the IoT platforms available are designed to only support cloud-centric architectures These platforms centralize the ldquointelligencerdquo in the cloud and require data to be conveyed from the edge to do anything useful with it Considering the success of this cloud-centric model in IT (and in some IoT applications like fleet management) you may wonder whatrsquos the big deal
Simply put cloud-centric architectures arenrsquot applicable to a large class of IoT applications Most notably cloud-centric architectures fall short in supporting Industrial IoT (IIoT) sys-tems and struggle with more demanding Consumer IoT (CIoT) applications
The scariest part is that the situation will only get worse with the predicted increase in the number of connected things But there are some things more fundamental limiting cloud-centric architecturesrsquo applicability for IoT systems
Connectivity ndash Cloud-centric architectures assume that sufficient connectivity exists from the things to the cloud This is necessary for collecting the data from the edge and for pushing insight or control actions from the cloud to the edge Yet connectivity
is hard to guarantee for several IoTIIoT applications such as smart autonomous consumer and agricultural vehicles As you can imagine connectivity may be taken for granted in metropolitan areas but not so much in rural areas
Bandwidth ndash Cloud-centric computing assumes that sufficient bandwidth exists to ingest the data from the edge into the data center The challenge here is that several IIoT applications produce incredible volumes of data For instance a factory can easily produce a terabyte of data per day and these numbers will only grow with the continued digitalization of factories
Latency ndash Therersquos a large class of IIoT systems for which the latency required to send data to the cloud make decisions and eventually send data toward the edge to act on these decisions may be completely incompatible with the dynamics of the underlying system A key difference between IT and IoTIIoT is that the latter deals with physical entities As such the reaction time must be compatible with the dynamics of the physical entity or process with which the application interacts Failing to react with the proper latency can lead to system instability infrastructure damage or even put human operators at risk
Cloud
The IoT needs fog computingBy Angelo Corsaro
wwwiotdesignembedded-computingcom IoT Design Guide 2016 23
Cost ndash In the age of smartphones and very cheap data plans most people assume that the cost of connectivity is negligible The reality is quite different in IIoT due to either bandwidth requirements or connectivity points While in consumer applications the individual person (the consumer) pays for connectivity in most IoTIIoT applications (such as smart grids) itrsquos the operator who foots the bill As a result cost is usually carefully accounted for as it has an impact on operating expense and consequently on operational costs and margins
Security ndash Finally even assuming that all the above-listed issues are addressed a large class of IoTIIoT applications are not comfortable with or are incapable due to regulation of pushing their data to a cloud
Unless you can guarantee that the connectivity bandwidth latency cost and security requirements of your application are compatible with a cloud-centric architecture you need a dif-ferent paradigm and 999 percent of the IoT platforms avail-able on the market are not of much use
Fog computing is emerging as the main paradigm to address the connectivity bandwidth latency cost and security chal-lenges imposed by cloud-centric architectures The main idea behind fog computing is to provide elastic compute storage and communication close to the things so that data neednrsquot be sent all the way to the cloud or at least not all data and not all the time And the infrastructure is designed ground-up to deal with cyber- physical systems (CPS) as opposed to IT systems In other words the infrastructure is designed to consider the constraints imposed by the interactions with the physical world in terms of latency determinism load balancing and fault-tolerance
Defining fog computingTwo trends that are at the core of the IIoT revolution are soft-warization and digital twins
Softwarization is a trend that is disrupting several industries Its mantra is the replacement of specialized hardware implementa-tions such as a programmable logic controller (PLC) on an indus-trial floor with software running in a virtualized environment
Digital twins as the name hints are a digital representation (computerized model) of a physical entity (such as a compressor or a turbine) that is animated through the live data coming from its physical brother or sister Digital twins have several applications such as monitoring diagnostics and prognostics Additionally Digital twins provide useful insights to RampD teams for improving next-generation designs as well as continuously ameliorating the fidelity of their models
As softwarization transforms specialized hardware into soft-ware it creates an opportunity for convergence and consolida-tion If we take as an example soft PLCs (ie softwarized PLCs) all of a sudden they can be deployed on commodity hardware in a virtualized environment and decoupled from the IO logic that can remain closer to the source of data As a side note
the general idea of softwarization applied to the factory floor is often referred to as software-defined machines or software-defined automation
As a result of softwarization and digital twins there is an opportunity for modernizing the factory floor consolidating its hardware and improving availability productivity manage-ability resilience to failure and innovation agility In essence as a result of softwarization there is the opportunity to manage these systems as a data center As softwarization is a trend that is impacting a large class of industries it is worth highlighting that the transformations described above along with its ben-efits are not just limited to industrial automation But there is a catch the large majority of these systems whether in the industrial transportation or medical domains are subject to the performance constraints previously discussed
These systems interact with the physical world and as such they need to react at the pace imposed by the physical entity with which they interact As a consequence while traditional cloud infrastructure would be functionally perfect to address these use cases it turns out to be inadequate as it is typi-cally not designed with these non-functional requirements in mind and is often too heavyweight Cloud infrastructures were designed for IT systems in which a delay in the response time may create a bored or upset customer but will not cause a robot arm to smash against a wall another machine or worse
Now it should be clear that fog computing is not just about applying distributed computing to the edge Fog computing is about providing an infrastructure that while virtualizing elastic compute storage and communication is able to address the non-functional properties characteristic of these domains
Fog computing makes it possible to provision and manage softwarized hardware (eg a soft PLC digital twins analytics and anything else that may need to run on the system) while ensuring the proper non-functional requirements and bringing all the benefits listed above in terms of convergence manage-ability availability agility and efficiency improvement
Fog computing provides a flexible infrastructure to provision deploy monitor and manage software at the edge This should clarify how just deploying some logic on an edge gateway isnrsquot fog computing and neither is fog computing traditional dis-tributed computing

Fluid computing Unifying cloud fog and mist computingWhat is mist computing As the name implies mist is closer to the ground than fog which in turn is closer to the ground than the cloud But beside the meteorological analogies what does this really mean As yoursquove probably guessed this means that mist computing is about bringing elastic compute storage and communication directly onto the things Thus if we continue with the meteorological analogy cloud infrastructure is high in the data center fog infrastructure is between the things and the cloud and mist infrastructure is simply the things
The goals of mist computing essentially are two
1 Enabling resource harvesting by exploiting the computation storage and communication capabilities available on the things
2 Allowing arbitrary computations to be provisioned deployed managed and monitored on the things
As you can imagine things in IoT applications are extremely heterogeneous in terms of platforms resources and con-nectivity Thus the main challenge for mist infrastructures is to be sufficiently lightweight to be able to establish a fabric that virtualizes compute storage and communication without consuming too many resources
If we look from a distance at a generic IoTIIoT system we will realize that from an infrastructural perspective we will have to deal with data centers that are in a public or private cloud edge infrastructure and the actual things IoTIIoT systems will need to exploit resources that span these three tiers and provi-sion deploy monitor and manage applications and services across the tiers On the other hand if we look at the techno-logical landscape there is a complete fragmentation between the technologies used for cloud computing fog computing and the emerging mist computing This fragmentation makes it difficult to establish a unified end-to-end perspective of the system and it makes it practically impossible to treat the system as a uniform and virtualized compute storage and communication fabric
At this point the question is ldquoWhat can we do about itrdquo
The first step toward addressing a problem is recognizing it To this end that means raising awareness about the challenges that this fragmentation may induce The second step is to establish a vision of how the problem can be solved so that the industry can internalize it and eventually address it
Letrsquos focus for a moment on what would make sense for the user of an IoTIIoT platform as opposed to the technical details of whether cloud fog or mist is the right answer
From a high-level perspective why should a designer of an IoTIIoT application care whether he or she will be using cloud fog or mist computing paradigms The only thing that really matters is that the platform provides a way to provision
manage and monitor applications in such a way that appli-cations can meet their functional and non-functional require-ments The functional and non-functional requirements drive the allocation of applications on things fog or cloud layers ndash but anything else is just a detail isnrsquot it
Fluid computing is an architectural principle based on the abstraction of the topological details of the computational infrastructure Fluid architectures provide an end-to-end fabric that can be used to seamlessly provision deploy manage and monitor applications regardless of whether the underlying resource is provided by the cloud infrastructure the fog infra-structure or by things
Fluid computing unifies under a single abstraction of cloud fog and mist computing In other words cloud fog and mist computing can be seen as application of fluid computing in a specific bounded context
As the IoTIIoT market evolves expect a convergence of cloud fog and mist computing platforms toward a fluid computing platform This convergence will be necessary if not essential to accelerate the adoption of IoT

CIA and TPM to secure the IoTBy Guenther Fischer
CIA TPM and IoT You might ask what these three acronyms have in common and how they relate to each other
To make a long story short it is all about security trust and reliability
The abbreviation CIA in this context does not mean the Central Intelligence Agency It is an abbreviation for Confidentiality Integrity and Authenticity The so-called CIA principle is a simple but widely used security model covering three key tenets that should be guaranteed by all secure systems
Confidentiality is intended in the sense of hiding information from people not authorized to view it It is perhaps the most obvious aspect of the CIA model when it comes to security At the same time it is also the one most under attack Cryptographic symmetric and asymmetric encryption methods are examples of means to ensure confidentiality when transmitting data from one computer system to another
Integrity on the other hand represents the certainty that data is accurate and not changed on its journey from the original sender to the intended receiver A common security attack often called a man-in-the-middle attack intercepts data and makes changes to it before passing it on to the intended receiver Cryptographic digital signature methods are one way to attest the integrity of code and data
In addition authenticity is needed to address the concern about genuine information In other words you want to make sure the information you receive actually comes from the source that claims to be its genuine origin Cryptographic digital certificates are used to prove the authenticity of the issuer
Now that we understand why CIA is important for a secure system letrsquos move to the third acronym IoT
After many years of being an overhyped marketing term the so-called Internet of Things (IoT) is starting to become mature and real Mark Weiser created the term ldquoubiquitous computingrdquo first in his famous Scientific American article ldquoThe Computer for the 21st Centuryrdquo pub lished September 1991 His thinking was so ahead of his time that it seemed like science fiction to most of his readers In 2016 his vision has become reality Ubiquitous computing (or ubicomp for short) became todayrsquos ndash perhaps overhyped ndash IoT
Weiser started his article ldquoThe most profound technologies are those that disappear They weave themselves into the fabric of

everyday life until they are indistinguishable from itrdquo He pre-dicted that computing devices would become commonplace and part of all aspects of life and he was right Just consider for example the consumer gadgets like fitness bands smart watches smart phones or navigation systems that send and receive data all day long Or consider the home which is con-nected to a power grid where a smart meter allows the energy provider to effectively calculate the resources needed to cover the demand of all households Interconnected computing devices are everywhere nowadays
Shifting focus to industrial applications todayrsquos business IoT applications are developed together with devices and services coming from various sectors of industry information tech-nology automation and production technology aerospace maritime and naval systems railways car manufacturers and their suppliers energy providers agricultural medical tech-nology and building automation All of those share character-istics including long life in the field reliability and robustness in harsh environments and reliable long-term availability
IoT systems rely on public networks but public networks are not secure environments While IoT creates new capabilities and services allows greater efficiencies increases flexibility and enables the customization of single production units it also opens up previously closed systems and allows attackers to get access to those systems from the outside world
Attackers often use reverse engineering techniques to iden-tify software vulnerabilities which they can exploit to create counterfeit products steal sensitive data or tamper with the device for sabotage and espionage purposes This can lead to serious and dangerous hacks as recent attacks on safety-critical automotive aerospace and medical components have shown
This brings us back to the CIA principle we started with The only way to avoid situations like those listed above is to apply

the CIA security model to the world of IoT devices As we have learned CIA is built around cryprograhic operations Todayrsquos modern cryprography leverages standard crypto protocols The Dutch cryptographer Auguste Kerckhoffs stated a maxim in the 19th century that would become known as Kerckhoffsrsquo principle A cryptosystem should be secure even if everything about the system except for the key is public knowledge
I repeat everything is public knowledge except for the key which is needed to encrypt and decrypt the content either directly or in a derived form So how do you store a key in a secure manner This brings me to the second acronym TPM the Trusted Platform Module
In the world of cryptography there is a ton of other acronyms referring to the various protocols and methods that are used to ensure the CIA principle To name just a few of them you have DES AES for symmetric cryptography and RSA ECC for asymmetric cryptography The list of acronyms goes on and on The really important part however is that the algorithms themselves are typically not secret they are publicly available just as Kerckhoffsrsquo principle demands it The only part that really needs to be kept secret is the key itself This sounds simple but it is pretty hard to achieve To keep the key secret you need a secure place like a safe which we will call a secure element to securely store the key A TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is such a secure element and it offers a lot more including the crypto protocols
In a nutshell a TPM is a specialized and dedicated device that offers crypto operations and secure storage for secret keys all in one This allows you to store the key in a secure place and even more importantly it allows the key to stay there so it never leaves its secure location All important crypto operations are done inside of the TPM itself and only the results are exposed This prevents the key from getting compromised In case you want to know why it is important to have this dedicated functionality separated in a dedicated device I recommend you to read the following two articles These should make it obvious how impor-tant it is to have a dedicated secure element like a TPM inside a computing device to make it secure trustable and reliable
So how can incidents like these be prevented Use technology that creates secured code and licenses that can be bound to a secure element in the target system ensuring that the code and the licensed features can only be used on an individual system License creation and deployment can be integrated into existing business processes such as ERP systems or e-commerce platforms This mechanism opens up new business models such as feature-on-demand upselling and time-based or pay-per-use licenses for the IoT and other intelligent devices The result is improved security from attacks malware theft and other malfeasance for code and IP

Sometimes small changes make a big difference Switching your organizationrsquos thinking from proof-of-concept to proof-of-innovation is one of those changes
Three ways to tell you are wasting time with a PoC1 Examples of the offering exist in
either the lab or with competitors ndash Note that the example can be in other applications or markets For example self-driving cars moved immediately to prototypes because auto-piloted airplanes and drones provided the proof that the technology works for autonomous vehicle operations
2 No new hardware is needed ndash If your new offering depends upon the integration or is a software appli-cation of data then you are not doing a PoC Your technology is feasible it just may not be desirable or viable
3 None of the questions to be answered by the PoC effort involve the laws of physics
Three things that make a good pilot1 You have a sales-ready user
experience ndash An IoT pilot not only has to measure user adoption it also has to measure churn Too much churn will defeat the business To measure these characteristics with confidence across a statistically significant number of users the product must have a sales-ready user experience
2 The product is re-certification tested ndash Since the pilot product is not in fact sold it does not have to be marked UL CE FCC etc But it better be ready to mark As soon as the pilot validates adoption churn and price the sales team is going want to see products shipping so you canrsquot go back and do another spin Be ready
3 The supply chain is solid and meets cost expectations ndash The pilot will measure user adoption at price so if it is successful production will begin Production will have to deliver on that price so the supply chain must be solid
David Smith is Vice President of Engineering and Innovation at MultiTech Systems
They also know that they have to help product development teams move through prototyping to pilots quickly The prototypes can get early user feedback and allow forecasts of costs But the sweet spot of innovation is where users want the new product and are willing to pay a price that sustains the business In the IoT sustaining the business is complicated by recurring expense and revenue This is where the pilot comes in The pilot validates the product and the business model
PoCs are not bad but they are not often necessary in business today Perhaps the best example of this is a place where PoCs are the lifeblood of the company Google X Their mission is to make moon shots learn from failure and solve grand problems with approaches no one else is willing to try If your mission is similar then PoCs are great If you are under pressure to grow and generate new forms of revenue using digital technology beware the PoC

As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues its rapid pace of growth therersquos been no shortage of inflated
expectations Platforms promising to ease the development deployment and management of IoT systems are
now counted in the hundreds You might believe that all you have to do is pick a platform you like the best from
the vendor you trust the most and go build your IoT system Well the story is not so simple
In reality nearly all of the IoT platforms available are designed to only support cloud-centric architectures These platforms centralize the ldquointelligencerdquo in the cloud and require data to be conveyed from the edge to do anything useful with it Considering the success of this cloud-centric model in IT (and in some IoT applications like fleet management) you may wonder whatrsquos the big deal
Simply put cloud-centric architectures arenrsquot applicable to a large class of IoT applications Most notably cloud-centric architectures fall short in supporting Industrial IoT (IIoT) sys-tems and struggle with more demanding Consumer IoT (CIoT) applications
The scariest part is that the situation will only get worse with the predicted increase in the number of connected things But there are some things more fundamental limiting cloud-centric architecturesrsquo applicability for IoT systems
Connectivity ndash Cloud-centric architectures assume that sufficient connectivity exists from the things to the cloud This is necessary for collecting the data from the edge and for pushing insight or control actions from the cloud to the edge Yet connectivity
is hard to guarantee for several IoTIIoT applications such as smart autonomous consumer and agricultural vehicles As you can imagine connectivity may be taken for granted in metropolitan areas but not so much in rural areas
Bandwidth ndash Cloud-centric computing assumes that sufficient bandwidth exists to ingest the data from the edge into the data center The challenge here is that several IIoT applications produce incredible volumes of data For instance a factory can easily produce a terabyte of data per day and these numbers will only grow with the continued digitalization of factories
Latency ndash Therersquos a large class of IIoT systems for which the latency required to send data to the cloud make decisions and eventually send data toward the edge to act on these decisions may be completely incompatible with the dynamics of the underlying system A key difference between IT and IoTIIoT is that the latter deals with physical entities As such the reaction time must be compatible with the dynamics of the physical entity or process with which the application interacts Failing to react with the proper latency can lead to system instability infrastructure damage or even put human operators at risk
Cloud
The IoT needs fog computingBy Angelo Corsaro
wwwiotdesignembedded-computingcom IoT Design Guide 2016 23
Cost ndash In the age of smartphones and very cheap data plans most people assume that the cost of connectivity is negligible The reality is quite different in IIoT due to either bandwidth requirements or connectivity points While in consumer applications the individual person (the consumer) pays for connectivity in most IoTIIoT applications (such as smart grids) itrsquos the operator who foots the bill As a result cost is usually carefully accounted for as it has an impact on operating expense and consequently on operational costs and margins
Security ndash Finally even assuming that all the above-listed issues are addressed a large class of IoTIIoT applications are not comfortable with or are incapable due to regulation of pushing their data to a cloud
Unless you can guarantee that the connectivity bandwidth latency cost and security requirements of your application are compatible with a cloud-centric architecture you need a dif-ferent paradigm and 999 percent of the IoT platforms avail-able on the market are not of much use
Fog computing is emerging as the main paradigm to address the connectivity bandwidth latency cost and security chal-lenges imposed by cloud-centric architectures The main idea behind fog computing is to provide elastic compute storage and communication close to the things so that data neednrsquot be sent all the way to the cloud or at least not all data and not all the time And the infrastructure is designed ground-up to deal with cyber- physical systems (CPS) as opposed to IT systems In other words the infrastructure is designed to consider the constraints imposed by the interactions with the physical world in terms of latency determinism load balancing and fault-tolerance
Defining fog computingTwo trends that are at the core of the IIoT revolution are soft-warization and digital twins
Softwarization is a trend that is disrupting several industries Its mantra is the replacement of specialized hardware implementa-tions such as a programmable logic controller (PLC) on an indus-trial floor with software running in a virtualized environment
Digital twins as the name hints are a digital representation (computerized model) of a physical entity (such as a compressor or a turbine) that is animated through the live data coming from its physical brother or sister Digital twins have several applications such as monitoring diagnostics and prognostics Additionally Digital twins provide useful insights to RampD teams for improving next-generation designs as well as continuously ameliorating the fidelity of their models
As softwarization transforms specialized hardware into soft-ware it creates an opportunity for convergence and consolida-tion If we take as an example soft PLCs (ie softwarized PLCs) all of a sudden they can be deployed on commodity hardware in a virtualized environment and decoupled from the IO logic that can remain closer to the source of data As a side note
the general idea of softwarization applied to the factory floor is often referred to as software-defined machines or software-defined automation
As a result of softwarization and digital twins there is an opportunity for modernizing the factory floor consolidating its hardware and improving availability productivity manage-ability resilience to failure and innovation agility In essence as a result of softwarization there is the opportunity to manage these systems as a data center As softwarization is a trend that is impacting a large class of industries it is worth highlighting that the transformations described above along with its ben-efits are not just limited to industrial automation But there is a catch the large majority of these systems whether in the industrial transportation or medical domains are subject to the performance constraints previously discussed
These systems interact with the physical world and as such they need to react at the pace imposed by the physical entity with which they interact As a consequence while traditional cloud infrastructure would be functionally perfect to address these use cases it turns out to be inadequate as it is typi-cally not designed with these non-functional requirements in mind and is often too heavyweight Cloud infrastructures were designed for IT systems in which a delay in the response time may create a bored or upset customer but will not cause a robot arm to smash against a wall another machine or worse
Now it should be clear that fog computing is not just about applying distributed computing to the edge Fog computing is about providing an infrastructure that while virtualizing elastic compute storage and communication is able to address the non-functional properties characteristic of these domains
Fog computing makes it possible to provision and manage softwarized hardware (eg a soft PLC digital twins analytics and anything else that may need to run on the system) while ensuring the proper non-functional requirements and bringing all the benefits listed above in terms of convergence manage-ability availability agility and efficiency improvement
Fog computing provides a flexible infrastructure to provision deploy monitor and manage software at the edge This should clarify how just deploying some logic on an edge gateway isnrsquot fog computing and neither is fog computing traditional dis-tributed computing

Fluid computing Unifying cloud fog and mist computingWhat is mist computing As the name implies mist is closer to the ground than fog which in turn is closer to the ground than the cloud But beside the meteorological analogies what does this really mean As yoursquove probably guessed this means that mist computing is about bringing elastic compute storage and communication directly onto the things Thus if we continue with the meteorological analogy cloud infrastructure is high in the data center fog infrastructure is between the things and the cloud and mist infrastructure is simply the things
The goals of mist computing essentially are two
1 Enabling resource harvesting by exploiting the computation storage and communication capabilities available on the things
2 Allowing arbitrary computations to be provisioned deployed managed and monitored on the things
As you can imagine things in IoT applications are extremely heterogeneous in terms of platforms resources and con-nectivity Thus the main challenge for mist infrastructures is to be sufficiently lightweight to be able to establish a fabric that virtualizes compute storage and communication without consuming too many resources
If we look from a distance at a generic IoTIIoT system we will realize that from an infrastructural perspective we will have to deal with data centers that are in a public or private cloud edge infrastructure and the actual things IoTIIoT systems will need to exploit resources that span these three tiers and provi-sion deploy monitor and manage applications and services across the tiers On the other hand if we look at the techno-logical landscape there is a complete fragmentation between the technologies used for cloud computing fog computing and the emerging mist computing This fragmentation makes it difficult to establish a unified end-to-end perspective of the system and it makes it practically impossible to treat the system as a uniform and virtualized compute storage and communication fabric
At this point the question is ldquoWhat can we do about itrdquo
The first step toward addressing a problem is recognizing it To this end that means raising awareness about the challenges that this fragmentation may induce The second step is to establish a vision of how the problem can be solved so that the industry can internalize it and eventually address it
Letrsquos focus for a moment on what would make sense for the user of an IoTIIoT platform as opposed to the technical details of whether cloud fog or mist is the right answer
From a high-level perspective why should a designer of an IoTIIoT application care whether he or she will be using cloud fog or mist computing paradigms The only thing that really matters is that the platform provides a way to provision
manage and monitor applications in such a way that appli-cations can meet their functional and non-functional require-ments The functional and non-functional requirements drive the allocation of applications on things fog or cloud layers ndash but anything else is just a detail isnrsquot it
Fluid computing is an architectural principle based on the abstraction of the topological details of the computational infrastructure Fluid architectures provide an end-to-end fabric that can be used to seamlessly provision deploy manage and monitor applications regardless of whether the underlying resource is provided by the cloud infrastructure the fog infra-structure or by things
Fluid computing unifies under a single abstraction of cloud fog and mist computing In other words cloud fog and mist computing can be seen as application of fluid computing in a specific bounded context
As the IoTIIoT market evolves expect a convergence of cloud fog and mist computing platforms toward a fluid computing platform This convergence will be necessary if not essential to accelerate the adoption of IoT

CIA and TPM to secure the IoTBy Guenther Fischer
CIA TPM and IoT You might ask what these three acronyms have in common and how they relate to each other
To make a long story short it is all about security trust and reliability
The abbreviation CIA in this context does not mean the Central Intelligence Agency It is an abbreviation for Confidentiality Integrity and Authenticity The so-called CIA principle is a simple but widely used security model covering three key tenets that should be guaranteed by all secure systems
Confidentiality is intended in the sense of hiding information from people not authorized to view it It is perhaps the most obvious aspect of the CIA model when it comes to security At the same time it is also the one most under attack Cryptographic symmetric and asymmetric encryption methods are examples of means to ensure confidentiality when transmitting data from one computer system to another
Integrity on the other hand represents the certainty that data is accurate and not changed on its journey from the original sender to the intended receiver A common security attack often called a man-in-the-middle attack intercepts data and makes changes to it before passing it on to the intended receiver Cryptographic digital signature methods are one way to attest the integrity of code and data
In addition authenticity is needed to address the concern about genuine information In other words you want to make sure the information you receive actually comes from the source that claims to be its genuine origin Cryptographic digital certificates are used to prove the authenticity of the issuer
Now that we understand why CIA is important for a secure system letrsquos move to the third acronym IoT

Shifting focus to industrial applications todayrsquos business IoT applications are developed together with devices and services coming from various sectors of industry information tech-nology automation and production technology aerospace maritime and naval systems railways car manufacturers and their suppliers energy providers agricultural medical tech-nology and building automation All of those share character-istics including long life in the field reliability and robustness in harsh environments and reliable long-term availability
IoT systems rely on public networks but public networks are not secure environments While IoT creates new capabilities and services allows greater efficiencies increases flexibility and enables the customization of single production units it also opens up previously closed systems and allows attackers to get access to those systems from the outside world
Attackers often use reverse engineering techniques to iden-tify software vulnerabilities which they can exploit to create counterfeit products steal sensitive data or tamper with the device for sabotage and espionage purposes This can lead to serious and dangerous hacks as recent attacks on safety-critical automotive aerospace and medical components have shown
This brings us back to the CIA principle we started with The only way to avoid situations like those listed above is to apply

the CIA security model to the world of IoT devices As we have learned CIA is built around cryprograhic operations Todayrsquos modern cryprography leverages standard crypto protocols The Dutch cryptographer Auguste Kerckhoffs stated a maxim in the 19th century that would become known as Kerckhoffsrsquo principle A cryptosystem should be secure even if everything about the system except for the key is public knowledge
I repeat everything is public knowledge except for the key which is needed to encrypt and decrypt the content either directly or in a derived form So how do you store a key in a secure manner This brings me to the second acronym TPM the Trusted Platform Module
In the world of cryptography there is a ton of other acronyms referring to the various protocols and methods that are used to ensure the CIA principle To name just a few of them you have DES AES for symmetric cryptography and RSA ECC for asymmetric cryptography The list of acronyms goes on and on The really important part however is that the algorithms themselves are typically not secret they are publicly available just as Kerckhoffsrsquo principle demands it The only part that really needs to be kept secret is the key itself This sounds simple but it is pretty hard to achieve To keep the key secret you need a secure place like a safe which we will call a secure element to securely store the key A TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is such a secure element and it offers a lot more including the crypto protocols
In a nutshell a TPM is a specialized and dedicated device that offers crypto operations and secure storage for secret keys all in one This allows you to store the key in a secure place and even more importantly it allows the key to stay there so it never leaves its secure location All important crypto operations are done inside of the TPM itself and only the results are exposed This prevents the key from getting compromised In case you want to know why it is important to have this dedicated functionality separated in a dedicated device I recommend you to read the following two articles These should make it obvious how impor-tant it is to have a dedicated secure element like a TPM inside a computing device to make it secure trustable and reliable
So how can incidents like these be prevented Use technology that creates secured code and licenses that can be bound to a secure element in the target system ensuring that the code and the licensed features can only be used on an individual system License creation and deployment can be integrated into existing business processes such as ERP systems or e-commerce platforms This mechanism opens up new business models such as feature-on-demand upselling and time-based or pay-per-use licenses for the IoT and other intelligent devices The result is improved security from attacks malware theft and other malfeasance for code and IP

As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues its rapid pace of growth therersquos been no shortage of inflated
expectations Platforms promising to ease the development deployment and management of IoT systems are
now counted in the hundreds You might believe that all you have to do is pick a platform you like the best from
the vendor you trust the most and go build your IoT system Well the story is not so simple
In reality nearly all of the IoT platforms available are designed to only support cloud-centric architectures These platforms centralize the ldquointelligencerdquo in the cloud and require data to be conveyed from the edge to do anything useful with it Considering the success of this cloud-centric model in IT (and in some IoT applications like fleet management) you may wonder whatrsquos the big deal
Simply put cloud-centric architectures arenrsquot applicable to a large class of IoT applications Most notably cloud-centric architectures fall short in supporting Industrial IoT (IIoT) sys-tems and struggle with more demanding Consumer IoT (CIoT) applications
The scariest part is that the situation will only get worse with the predicted increase in the number of connected things But there are some things more fundamental limiting cloud-centric architecturesrsquo applicability for IoT systems
Connectivity ndash Cloud-centric architectures assume that sufficient connectivity exists from the things to the cloud This is necessary for collecting the data from the edge and for pushing insight or control actions from the cloud to the edge Yet connectivity
is hard to guarantee for several IoTIIoT applications such as smart autonomous consumer and agricultural vehicles As you can imagine connectivity may be taken for granted in metropolitan areas but not so much in rural areas
Bandwidth ndash Cloud-centric computing assumes that sufficient bandwidth exists to ingest the data from the edge into the data center The challenge here is that several IIoT applications produce incredible volumes of data For instance a factory can easily produce a terabyte of data per day and these numbers will only grow with the continued digitalization of factories
Latency ndash Therersquos a large class of IIoT systems for which the latency required to send data to the cloud make decisions and eventually send data toward the edge to act on these decisions may be completely incompatible with the dynamics of the underlying system A key difference between IT and IoTIIoT is that the latter deals with physical entities As such the reaction time must be compatible with the dynamics of the physical entity or process with which the application interacts Failing to react with the proper latency can lead to system instability infrastructure damage or even put human operators at risk
Cloud
The IoT needs fog computingBy Angelo Corsaro
wwwiotdesignembedded-computingcom IoT Design Guide 2016 23
Cost ndash In the age of smartphones and very cheap data plans most people assume that the cost of connectivity is negligible The reality is quite different in IIoT due to either bandwidth requirements or connectivity points While in consumer applications the individual person (the consumer) pays for connectivity in most IoTIIoT applications (such as smart grids) itrsquos the operator who foots the bill As a result cost is usually carefully accounted for as it has an impact on operating expense and consequently on operational costs and margins
Security ndash Finally even assuming that all the above-listed issues are addressed a large class of IoTIIoT applications are not comfortable with or are incapable due to regulation of pushing their data to a cloud
Unless you can guarantee that the connectivity bandwidth latency cost and security requirements of your application are compatible with a cloud-centric architecture you need a dif-ferent paradigm and 999 percent of the IoT platforms avail-able on the market are not of much use
Fog computing is emerging as the main paradigm to address the connectivity bandwidth latency cost and security chal-lenges imposed by cloud-centric architectures The main idea behind fog computing is to provide elastic compute storage and communication close to the things so that data neednrsquot be sent all the way to the cloud or at least not all data and not all the time And the infrastructure is designed ground-up to deal with cyber- physical systems (CPS) as opposed to IT systems In other words the infrastructure is designed to consider the constraints imposed by the interactions with the physical world in terms of latency determinism load balancing and fault-tolerance
Defining fog computingTwo trends that are at the core of the IIoT revolution are soft-warization and digital twins
Softwarization is a trend that is disrupting several industries Its mantra is the replacement of specialized hardware implementa-tions such as a programmable logic controller (PLC) on an indus-trial floor with software running in a virtualized environment
Digital twins as the name hints are a digital representation (computerized model) of a physical entity (such as a compressor or a turbine) that is animated through the live data coming from its physical brother or sister Digital twins have several applications such as monitoring diagnostics and prognostics Additionally Digital twins provide useful insights to RampD teams for improving next-generation designs as well as continuously ameliorating the fidelity of their models
As softwarization transforms specialized hardware into soft-ware it creates an opportunity for convergence and consolida-tion If we take as an example soft PLCs (ie softwarized PLCs) all of a sudden they can be deployed on commodity hardware in a virtualized environment and decoupled from the IO logic that can remain closer to the source of data As a side note
the general idea of softwarization applied to the factory floor is often referred to as software-defined machines or software-defined automation
As a result of softwarization and digital twins there is an opportunity for modernizing the factory floor consolidating its hardware and improving availability productivity manage-ability resilience to failure and innovation agility In essence as a result of softwarization there is the opportunity to manage these systems as a data center As softwarization is a trend that is impacting a large class of industries it is worth highlighting that the transformations described above along with its ben-efits are not just limited to industrial automation But there is a catch the large majority of these systems whether in the industrial transportation or medical domains are subject to the performance constraints previously discussed
These systems interact with the physical world and as such they need to react at the pace imposed by the physical entity with which they interact As a consequence while traditional cloud infrastructure would be functionally perfect to address these use cases it turns out to be inadequate as it is typi-cally not designed with these non-functional requirements in mind and is often too heavyweight Cloud infrastructures were designed for IT systems in which a delay in the response time may create a bored or upset customer but will not cause a robot arm to smash against a wall another machine or worse
Now it should be clear that fog computing is not just about applying distributed computing to the edge Fog computing is about providing an infrastructure that while virtualizing elastic compute storage and communication is able to address the non-functional properties characteristic of these domains
Fog computing makes it possible to provision and manage softwarized hardware (eg a soft PLC digital twins analytics and anything else that may need to run on the system) while ensuring the proper non-functional requirements and bringing all the benefits listed above in terms of convergence manage-ability availability agility and efficiency improvement
Fog computing provides a flexible infrastructure to provision deploy monitor and manage software at the edge This should clarify how just deploying some logic on an edge gateway isnrsquot fog computing and neither is fog computing traditional dis-tributed computing

Fluid computing Unifying cloud fog and mist computingWhat is mist computing As the name implies mist is closer to the ground than fog which in turn is closer to the ground than the cloud But beside the meteorological analogies what does this really mean As yoursquove probably guessed this means that mist computing is about bringing elastic compute storage and communication directly onto the things Thus if we continue with the meteorological analogy cloud infrastructure is high in the data center fog infrastructure is between the things and the cloud and mist infrastructure is simply the things
The goals of mist computing essentially are two
1 Enabling resource harvesting by exploiting the computation storage and communication capabilities available on the things
2 Allowing arbitrary computations to be provisioned deployed managed and monitored on the things
As you can imagine things in IoT applications are extremely heterogeneous in terms of platforms resources and con-nectivity Thus the main challenge for mist infrastructures is to be sufficiently lightweight to be able to establish a fabric that virtualizes compute storage and communication without consuming too many resources
If we look from a distance at a generic IoTIIoT system we will realize that from an infrastructural perspective we will have to deal with data centers that are in a public or private cloud edge infrastructure and the actual things IoTIIoT systems will need to exploit resources that span these three tiers and provi-sion deploy monitor and manage applications and services across the tiers On the other hand if we look at the techno-logical landscape there is a complete fragmentation between the technologies used for cloud computing fog computing and the emerging mist computing This fragmentation makes it difficult to establish a unified end-to-end perspective of the system and it makes it practically impossible to treat the system as a uniform and virtualized compute storage and communication fabric
At this point the question is ldquoWhat can we do about itrdquo
The first step toward addressing a problem is recognizing it To this end that means raising awareness about the challenges that this fragmentation may induce The second step is to establish a vision of how the problem can be solved so that the industry can internalize it and eventually address it
Letrsquos focus for a moment on what would make sense for the user of an IoTIIoT platform as opposed to the technical details of whether cloud fog or mist is the right answer
From a high-level perspective why should a designer of an IoTIIoT application care whether he or she will be using cloud fog or mist computing paradigms The only thing that really matters is that the platform provides a way to provision
manage and monitor applications in such a way that appli-cations can meet their functional and non-functional require-ments The functional and non-functional requirements drive the allocation of applications on things fog or cloud layers ndash but anything else is just a detail isnrsquot it
Fluid computing is an architectural principle based on the abstraction of the topological details of the computational infrastructure Fluid architectures provide an end-to-end fabric that can be used to seamlessly provision deploy manage and monitor applications regardless of whether the underlying resource is provided by the cloud infrastructure the fog infra-structure or by things
Fluid computing unifies under a single abstraction of cloud fog and mist computing In other words cloud fog and mist computing can be seen as application of fluid computing in a specific bounded context
As the IoTIIoT market evolves expect a convergence of cloud fog and mist computing platforms toward a fluid computing platform This convergence will be necessary if not essential to accelerate the adoption of IoT

CIA and TPM to secure the IoTBy Guenther Fischer
CIA TPM and IoT You might ask what these three acronyms have in common and how they relate to each other
To make a long story short it is all about security trust and reliability
The abbreviation CIA in this context does not mean the Central Intelligence Agency It is an abbreviation for Confidentiality Integrity and Authenticity The so-called CIA principle is a simple but widely used security model covering three key tenets that should be guaranteed by all secure systems
Confidentiality is intended in the sense of hiding information from people not authorized to view it It is perhaps the most obvious aspect of the CIA model when it comes to security At the same time it is also the one most under attack Cryptographic symmetric and asymmetric encryption methods are examples of means to ensure confidentiality when transmitting data from one computer system to another
Integrity on the other hand represents the certainty that data is accurate and not changed on its journey from the original sender to the intended receiver A common security attack often called a man-in-the-middle attack intercepts data and makes changes to it before passing it on to the intended receiver Cryptographic digital signature methods are one way to attest the integrity of code and data
In addition authenticity is needed to address the concern about genuine information In other words you want to make sure the information you receive actually comes from the source that claims to be its genuine origin Cryptographic digital certificates are used to prove the authenticity of the issuer
Now that we understand why CIA is important for a secure system letrsquos move to the third acronym IoT

everyday life until they are indistinguishable from itrdquo He pre-dicted that computing devices would become commonplace and part of all aspects of life and he was right Just consider for example the consumer gadgets like fitness bands smart watches smart phones or navigation systems that send and receive data all day long Or consider the home which is con-nected to a power grid where a smart meter allows the energy provider to effectively calculate the resources needed to cover the demand of all households Interconnected computing devices are everywhere nowadays
Shifting focus to industrial applications todayrsquos business IoT applications are developed together with devices and services coming from various sectors of industry information tech-nology automation and production technology aerospace maritime and naval systems railways car manufacturers and their suppliers energy providers agricultural medical tech-nology and building automation All of those share character-istics including long life in the field reliability and robustness in harsh environments and reliable long-term availability
IoT systems rely on public networks but public networks are not secure environments While IoT creates new capabilities and services allows greater efficiencies increases flexibility and enables the customization of single production units it also opens up previously closed systems and allows attackers to get access to those systems from the outside world
Attackers often use reverse engineering techniques to iden-tify software vulnerabilities which they can exploit to create counterfeit products steal sensitive data or tamper with the device for sabotage and espionage purposes This can lead to serious and dangerous hacks as recent attacks on safety-critical automotive aerospace and medical components have shown
This brings us back to the CIA principle we started with The only way to avoid situations like those listed above is to apply

the CIA security model to the world of IoT devices As we have learned CIA is built around cryprograhic operations Todayrsquos modern cryprography leverages standard crypto protocols The Dutch cryptographer Auguste Kerckhoffs stated a maxim in the 19th century that would become known as Kerckhoffsrsquo principle A cryptosystem should be secure even if everything about the system except for the key is public knowledge
I repeat everything is public knowledge except for the key which is needed to encrypt and decrypt the content either directly or in a derived form So how do you store a key in a secure manner This brings me to the second acronym TPM the Trusted Platform Module
In the world of cryptography there is a ton of other acronyms referring to the various protocols and methods that are used to ensure the CIA principle To name just a few of them you have DES AES for symmetric cryptography and RSA ECC for asymmetric cryptography The list of acronyms goes on and on The really important part however is that the algorithms themselves are typically not secret they are publicly available just as Kerckhoffsrsquo principle demands it The only part that really needs to be kept secret is the key itself This sounds simple but it is pretty hard to achieve To keep the key secret you need a secure place like a safe which we will call a secure element to securely store the key A TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is such a secure element and it offers a lot more including the crypto protocols
In a nutshell a TPM is a specialized and dedicated device that offers crypto operations and secure storage for secret keys all in one This allows you to store the key in a secure place and even more importantly it allows the key to stay there so it never leaves its secure location All important crypto operations are done inside of the TPM itself and only the results are exposed This prevents the key from getting compromised In case you want to know why it is important to have this dedicated functionality separated in a dedicated device I recommend you to read the following two articles These should make it obvious how impor-tant it is to have a dedicated secure element like a TPM inside a computing device to make it secure trustable and reliable
So how can incidents like these be prevented Use technology that creates secured code and licenses that can be bound to a secure element in the target system ensuring that the code and the licensed features can only be used on an individual system License creation and deployment can be integrated into existing business processes such as ERP systems or e-commerce platforms This mechanism opens up new business models such as feature-on-demand upselling and time-based or pay-per-use licenses for the IoT and other intelligent devices The result is improved security from attacks malware theft and other malfeasance for code and IP

Cost ndash In the age of smartphones and very cheap data plans most people assume that the cost of connectivity is negligible The reality is quite different in IIoT due to either bandwidth requirements or connectivity points While in consumer applications the individual person (the consumer) pays for connectivity in most IoTIIoT applications (such as smart grids) itrsquos the operator who foots the bill As a result cost is usually carefully accounted for as it has an impact on operating expense and consequently on operational costs and margins
Security ndash Finally even assuming that all the above-listed issues are addressed a large class of IoTIIoT applications are not comfortable with or are incapable due to regulation of pushing their data to a cloud
Unless you can guarantee that the connectivity bandwidth latency cost and security requirements of your application are compatible with a cloud-centric architecture you need a dif-ferent paradigm and 999 percent of the IoT platforms avail-able on the market are not of much use
Fog computing is emerging as the main paradigm to address the connectivity bandwidth latency cost and security chal-lenges imposed by cloud-centric architectures The main idea behind fog computing is to provide elastic compute storage and communication close to the things so that data neednrsquot be sent all the way to the cloud or at least not all data and not all the time And the infrastructure is designed ground-up to deal with cyber- physical systems (CPS) as opposed to IT systems In other words the infrastructure is designed to consider the constraints imposed by the interactions with the physical world in terms of latency determinism load balancing and fault-tolerance
Defining fog computingTwo trends that are at the core of the IIoT revolution are soft-warization and digital twins
Softwarization is a trend that is disrupting several industries Its mantra is the replacement of specialized hardware implementa-tions such as a programmable logic controller (PLC) on an indus-trial floor with software running in a virtualized environment
Digital twins as the name hints are a digital representation (computerized model) of a physical entity (such as a compressor or a turbine) that is animated through the live data coming from its physical brother or sister Digital twins have several applications such as monitoring diagnostics and prognostics Additionally Digital twins provide useful insights to RampD teams for improving next-generation designs as well as continuously ameliorating the fidelity of their models
As softwarization transforms specialized hardware into soft-ware it creates an opportunity for convergence and consolida-tion If we take as an example soft PLCs (ie softwarized PLCs) all of a sudden they can be deployed on commodity hardware in a virtualized environment and decoupled from the IO logic that can remain closer to the source of data As a side note
the general idea of softwarization applied to the factory floor is often referred to as software-defined machines or software-defined automation
As a result of softwarization and digital twins there is an opportunity for modernizing the factory floor consolidating its hardware and improving availability productivity manage-ability resilience to failure and innovation agility In essence as a result of softwarization there is the opportunity to manage these systems as a data center As softwarization is a trend that is impacting a large class of industries it is worth highlighting that the transformations described above along with its ben-efits are not just limited to industrial automation But there is a catch the large majority of these systems whether in the industrial transportation or medical domains are subject to the performance constraints previously discussed
These systems interact with the physical world and as such they need to react at the pace imposed by the physical entity with which they interact As a consequence while traditional cloud infrastructure would be functionally perfect to address these use cases it turns out to be inadequate as it is typi-cally not designed with these non-functional requirements in mind and is often too heavyweight Cloud infrastructures were designed for IT systems in which a delay in the response time may create a bored or upset customer but will not cause a robot arm to smash against a wall another machine or worse
Now it should be clear that fog computing is not just about applying distributed computing to the edge Fog computing is about providing an infrastructure that while virtualizing elastic compute storage and communication is able to address the non-functional properties characteristic of these domains
Fog computing makes it possible to provision and manage softwarized hardware (eg a soft PLC digital twins analytics and anything else that may need to run on the system) while ensuring the proper non-functional requirements and bringing all the benefits listed above in terms of convergence manage-ability availability agility and efficiency improvement
Fog computing provides a flexible infrastructure to provision deploy monitor and manage software at the edge This should clarify how just deploying some logic on an edge gateway isnrsquot fog computing and neither is fog computing traditional dis-tributed computing

Fluid computing Unifying cloud fog and mist computingWhat is mist computing As the name implies mist is closer to the ground than fog which in turn is closer to the ground than the cloud But beside the meteorological analogies what does this really mean As yoursquove probably guessed this means that mist computing is about bringing elastic compute storage and communication directly onto the things Thus if we continue with the meteorological analogy cloud infrastructure is high in the data center fog infrastructure is between the things and the cloud and mist infrastructure is simply the things
The goals of mist computing essentially are two
1 Enabling resource harvesting by exploiting the computation storage and communication capabilities available on the things
2 Allowing arbitrary computations to be provisioned deployed managed and monitored on the things
As you can imagine things in IoT applications are extremely heterogeneous in terms of platforms resources and con-nectivity Thus the main challenge for mist infrastructures is to be sufficiently lightweight to be able to establish a fabric that virtualizes compute storage and communication without consuming too many resources
If we look from a distance at a generic IoTIIoT system we will realize that from an infrastructural perspective we will have to deal with data centers that are in a public or private cloud edge infrastructure and the actual things IoTIIoT systems will need to exploit resources that span these three tiers and provi-sion deploy monitor and manage applications and services across the tiers On the other hand if we look at the techno-logical landscape there is a complete fragmentation between the technologies used for cloud computing fog computing and the emerging mist computing This fragmentation makes it difficult to establish a unified end-to-end perspective of the system and it makes it practically impossible to treat the system as a uniform and virtualized compute storage and communication fabric
At this point the question is ldquoWhat can we do about itrdquo
The first step toward addressing a problem is recognizing it To this end that means raising awareness about the challenges that this fragmentation may induce The second step is to establish a vision of how the problem can be solved so that the industry can internalize it and eventually address it
Letrsquos focus for a moment on what would make sense for the user of an IoTIIoT platform as opposed to the technical details of whether cloud fog or mist is the right answer
From a high-level perspective why should a designer of an IoTIIoT application care whether he or she will be using cloud fog or mist computing paradigms The only thing that really matters is that the platform provides a way to provision
manage and monitor applications in such a way that appli-cations can meet their functional and non-functional require-ments The functional and non-functional requirements drive the allocation of applications on things fog or cloud layers ndash but anything else is just a detail isnrsquot it
Fluid computing is an architectural principle based on the abstraction of the topological details of the computational infrastructure Fluid architectures provide an end-to-end fabric that can be used to seamlessly provision deploy manage and monitor applications regardless of whether the underlying resource is provided by the cloud infrastructure the fog infra-structure or by things
Fluid computing unifies under a single abstraction of cloud fog and mist computing In other words cloud fog and mist computing can be seen as application of fluid computing in a specific bounded context
As the IoTIIoT market evolves expect a convergence of cloud fog and mist computing platforms toward a fluid computing platform This convergence will be necessary if not essential to accelerate the adoption of IoT

Market Spotlight Security
CIA and TPM to secure the IoTBy Guenther Fischer
CIA TPM and IoT You might ask what these three acronyms have in common and how they relate to each other
To make a long story short it is all about security trust and reliability
The abbreviation CIA in this context does not mean the Central Intelligence Agency It is an abbreviation for Confidentiality Integrity and Authenticity The so-called CIA principle is a simple but widely used security model covering three key tenets that should be guaranteed by all secure systems
Confidentiality is intended in the sense of hiding information from people not authorized to view it It is perhaps the most obvious aspect of the CIA model when it comes to security At the same time it is also the one most under attack Cryptographic symmetric and asymmetric encryption methods are examples of means to ensure confidentiality when transmitting data from one computer system to another
Integrity on the other hand represents the certainty that data is accurate and not changed on its journey from the original sender to the intended receiver A common security attack often called a man-in-the-middle attack intercepts data and makes changes to it before passing it on to the intended receiver Cryptographic digital signature methods are one way to attest the integrity of code and data
In addition authenticity is needed to address the concern about genuine information In other words you want to make sure the information you receive actually comes from the source that claims to be its genuine origin Cryptographic digital certificates are used to prove the authenticity of the issuer
Now that we understand why CIA is important for a secure system letrsquos move to the third acronym IoT
After many years of being an overhyped marketing term the so-called Internet of Things (IoT) is starting to become mature and real Mark Weiser created the term ldquoubiquitous computingrdquo first in his famous Scientific American article ldquoThe Computer for the 21st Centuryrdquo pub lished September 1991 His thinking was so ahead of his time that it seemed like science fiction to most of his readers In 2016 his vision has become reality Ubiquitous computing (or ubicomp for short) became todayrsquos ndash perhaps overhyped ndash IoT
Weiser started his article ldquoThe most profound technologies are those that disappear They weave themselves into the fabric of

everyday life until they are indistinguishable from itrdquo He pre-dicted that computing devices would become commonplace and part of all aspects of life and he was right Just consider for example the consumer gadgets like fitness bands smart watches smart phones or navigation systems that send and receive data all day long Or consider the home which is con-nected to a power grid where a smart meter allows the energy provider to effectively calculate the resources needed to cover the demand of all households Interconnected computing devices are everywhere nowadays
Shifting focus to industrial applications todayrsquos business IoT applications are developed together with devices and services coming from various sectors of industry information tech-nology automation and production technology aerospace maritime and naval systems railways car manufacturers and their suppliers energy providers agricultural medical tech-nology and building automation All of those share character-istics including long life in the field reliability and robustness in harsh environments and reliable long-term availability
IoT systems rely on public networks but public networks are not secure environments While IoT creates new capabilities and services allows greater efficiencies increases flexibility and enables the customization of single production units it also opens up previously closed systems and allows attackers to get access to those systems from the outside world
Attackers often use reverse engineering techniques to iden-tify software vulnerabilities which they can exploit to create counterfeit products steal sensitive data or tamper with the device for sabotage and espionage purposes This can lead to serious and dangerous hacks as recent attacks on safety-critical automotive aerospace and medical components have shown
This brings us back to the CIA principle we started with The only way to avoid situations like those listed above is to apply

the CIA security model to the world of IoT devices As we have learned CIA is built around cryprograhic operations Todayrsquos modern cryprography leverages standard crypto protocols The Dutch cryptographer Auguste Kerckhoffs stated a maxim in the 19th century that would become known as Kerckhoffsrsquo principle A cryptosystem should be secure even if everything about the system except for the key is public knowledge
I repeat everything is public knowledge except for the key which is needed to encrypt and decrypt the content either directly or in a derived form So how do you store a key in a secure manner This brings me to the second acronym TPM the Trusted Platform Module
In the world of cryptography there is a ton of other acronyms referring to the various protocols and methods that are used to ensure the CIA principle To name just a few of them you have DES AES for symmetric cryptography and RSA ECC for asymmetric cryptography The list of acronyms goes on and on The really important part however is that the algorithms themselves are typically not secret they are publicly available just as Kerckhoffsrsquo principle demands it The only part that really needs to be kept secret is the key itself This sounds simple but it is pretty hard to achieve To keep the key secret you need a secure place like a safe which we will call a secure element to securely store the key A TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is such a secure element and it offers a lot more including the crypto protocols
In a nutshell a TPM is a specialized and dedicated device that offers crypto operations and secure storage for secret keys all in one This allows you to store the key in a secure place and even more importantly it allows the key to stay there so it never leaves its secure location All important crypto operations are done inside of the TPM itself and only the results are exposed This prevents the key from getting compromised In case you want to know why it is important to have this dedicated functionality separated in a dedicated device I recommend you to read the following two articles These should make it obvious how impor-tant it is to have a dedicated secure element like a TPM inside a computing device to make it secure trustable and reliable
So how can incidents like these be prevented Use technology that creates secured code and licenses that can be bound to a secure element in the target system ensuring that the code and the licensed features can only be used on an individual system License creation and deployment can be integrated into existing business processes such as ERP systems or e-commerce platforms This mechanism opens up new business models such as feature-on-demand upselling and time-based or pay-per-use licenses for the IoT and other intelligent devices The result is improved security from attacks malware theft and other malfeasance for code and IP

Fluid computing Unifying cloud fog and mist computingWhat is mist computing As the name implies mist is closer to the ground than fog which in turn is closer to the ground than the cloud But beside the meteorological analogies what does this really mean As yoursquove probably guessed this means that mist computing is about bringing elastic compute storage and communication directly onto the things Thus if we continue with the meteorological analogy cloud infrastructure is high in the data center fog infrastructure is between the things and the cloud and mist infrastructure is simply the things
The goals of mist computing essentially are two
1 Enabling resource harvesting by exploiting the computation storage and communication capabilities available on the things
2 Allowing arbitrary computations to be provisioned deployed managed and monitored on the things
As you can imagine things in IoT applications are extremely heterogeneous in terms of platforms resources and con-nectivity Thus the main challenge for mist infrastructures is to be sufficiently lightweight to be able to establish a fabric that virtualizes compute storage and communication without consuming too many resources
If we look from a distance at a generic IoTIIoT system we will realize that from an infrastructural perspective we will have to deal with data centers that are in a public or private cloud edge infrastructure and the actual things IoTIIoT systems will need to exploit resources that span these three tiers and provi-sion deploy monitor and manage applications and services across the tiers On the other hand if we look at the techno-logical landscape there is a complete fragmentation between the technologies used for cloud computing fog computing and the emerging mist computing This fragmentation makes it difficult to establish a unified end-to-end perspective of the system and it makes it practically impossible to treat the system as a uniform and virtualized compute storage and communication fabric
At this point the question is ldquoWhat can we do about itrdquo
The first step toward addressing a problem is recognizing it To this end that means raising awareness about the challenges that this fragmentation may induce The second step is to establish a vision of how the problem can be solved so that the industry can internalize it and eventually address it
Letrsquos focus for a moment on what would make sense for the user of an IoTIIoT platform as opposed to the technical details of whether cloud fog or mist is the right answer
From a high-level perspective why should a designer of an IoTIIoT application care whether he or she will be using cloud fog or mist computing paradigms The only thing that really matters is that the platform provides a way to provision
manage and monitor applications in such a way that appli-cations can meet their functional and non-functional require-ments The functional and non-functional requirements drive the allocation of applications on things fog or cloud layers ndash but anything else is just a detail isnrsquot it
Fluid computing is an architectural principle based on the abstraction of the topological details of the computational infrastructure Fluid architectures provide an end-to-end fabric that can be used to seamlessly provision deploy manage and monitor applications regardless of whether the underlying resource is provided by the cloud infrastructure the fog infra-structure or by things
Fluid computing unifies under a single abstraction of cloud fog and mist computing In other words cloud fog and mist computing can be seen as application of fluid computing in a specific bounded context
As the IoTIIoT market evolves expect a convergence of cloud fog and mist computing platforms toward a fluid computing platform This convergence will be necessary if not essential to accelerate the adoption of IoT

CIA and TPM to secure the IoTBy Guenther Fischer
CIA TPM and IoT You might ask what these three acronyms have in common and how they relate to each other
To make a long story short it is all about security trust and reliability
The abbreviation CIA in this context does not mean the Central Intelligence Agency It is an abbreviation for Confidentiality Integrity and Authenticity The so-called CIA principle is a simple but widely used security model covering three key tenets that should be guaranteed by all secure systems
Confidentiality is intended in the sense of hiding information from people not authorized to view it It is perhaps the most obvious aspect of the CIA model when it comes to security At the same time it is also the one most under attack Cryptographic symmetric and asymmetric encryption methods are examples of means to ensure confidentiality when transmitting data from one computer system to another
Integrity on the other hand represents the certainty that data is accurate and not changed on its journey from the original sender to the intended receiver A common security attack often called a man-in-the-middle attack intercepts data and makes changes to it before passing it on to the intended receiver Cryptographic digital signature methods are one way to attest the integrity of code and data
In addition authenticity is needed to address the concern about genuine information In other words you want to make sure the information you receive actually comes from the source that claims to be its genuine origin Cryptographic digital certificates are used to prove the authenticity of the issuer
Now that we understand why CIA is important for a secure system letrsquos move to the third acronym IoT
After many years of being an overhyped marketing term the so-called Internet of Things (IoT) is starting to become mature and real Mark Weiser created the term ldquoubiquitous computingrdquo first in his famous Scientific American article ldquoThe Computer for the 21st Centuryrdquo pub lished September 1991 His thinking was so ahead of his time that it seemed like science fiction to most of his readers In 2016 his vision has become reality Ubiquitous computing (or ubicomp for short) became todayrsquos ndash perhaps overhyped ndash IoT
Weiser started his article ldquoThe most profound technologies are those that disappear They weave themselves into the fabric of

everyday life until they are indistinguishable from itrdquo He pre-dicted that computing devices would become commonplace and part of all aspects of life and he was right Just consider for example the consumer gadgets like fitness bands smart watches smart phones or navigation systems that send and receive data all day long Or consider the home which is con-nected to a power grid where a smart meter allows the energy provider to effectively calculate the resources needed to cover the demand of all households Interconnected computing devices are everywhere nowadays
Shifting focus to industrial applications todayrsquos business IoT applications are developed together with devices and services coming from various sectors of industry information tech-nology automation and production technology aerospace maritime and naval systems railways car manufacturers and their suppliers energy providers agricultural medical tech-nology and building automation All of those share character-istics including long life in the field reliability and robustness in harsh environments and reliable long-term availability
IoT systems rely on public networks but public networks are not secure environments While IoT creates new capabilities and services allows greater efficiencies increases flexibility and enables the customization of single production units it also opens up previously closed systems and allows attackers to get access to those systems from the outside world
Attackers often use reverse engineering techniques to iden-tify software vulnerabilities which they can exploit to create counterfeit products steal sensitive data or tamper with the device for sabotage and espionage purposes This can lead to serious and dangerous hacks as recent attacks on safety-critical automotive aerospace and medical components have shown
This brings us back to the CIA principle we started with The only way to avoid situations like those listed above is to apply

the CIA security model to the world of IoT devices As we have learned CIA is built around cryprograhic operations Todayrsquos modern cryprography leverages standard crypto protocols The Dutch cryptographer Auguste Kerckhoffs stated a maxim in the 19th century that would become known as Kerckhoffsrsquo principle A cryptosystem should be secure even if everything about the system except for the key is public knowledge
I repeat everything is public knowledge except for the key which is needed to encrypt and decrypt the content either directly or in a derived form So how do you store a key in a secure manner This brings me to the second acronym TPM the Trusted Platform Module
In the world of cryptography there is a ton of other acronyms referring to the various protocols and methods that are used to ensure the CIA principle To name just a few of them you have DES AES for symmetric cryptography and RSA ECC for asymmetric cryptography The list of acronyms goes on and on The really important part however is that the algorithms themselves are typically not secret they are publicly available just as Kerckhoffsrsquo principle demands it The only part that really needs to be kept secret is the key itself This sounds simple but it is pretty hard to achieve To keep the key secret you need a secure place like a safe which we will call a secure element to securely store the key A TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is such a secure element and it offers a lot more including the crypto protocols
In a nutshell a TPM is a specialized and dedicated device that offers crypto operations and secure storage for secret keys all in one This allows you to store the key in a secure place and even more importantly it allows the key to stay there so it never leaves its secure location All important crypto operations are done inside of the TPM itself and only the results are exposed This prevents the key from getting compromised In case you want to know why it is important to have this dedicated functionality separated in a dedicated device I recommend you to read the following two articles These should make it obvious how impor-tant it is to have a dedicated secure element like a TPM inside a computing device to make it secure trustable and reliable
So how can incidents like these be prevented Use technology that creates secured code and licenses that can be bound to a secure element in the target system ensuring that the code and the licensed features can only be used on an individual system License creation and deployment can be integrated into existing business processes such as ERP systems or e-commerce platforms This mechanism opens up new business models such as feature-on-demand upselling and time-based or pay-per-use licenses for the IoT and other intelligent devices The result is improved security from attacks malware theft and other malfeasance for code and IP

CIA and TPM to secure the IoTBy Guenther Fischer
CIA TPM and IoT You might ask what these three acronyms have in common and how they relate to each other
To make a long story short it is all about security trust and reliability
The abbreviation CIA in this context does not mean the Central Intelligence Agency It is an abbreviation for Confidentiality Integrity and Authenticity The so-called CIA principle is a simple but widely used security model covering three key tenets that should be guaranteed by all secure systems
Confidentiality is intended in the sense of hiding information from people not authorized to view it It is perhaps the most obvious aspect of the CIA model when it comes to security At the same time it is also the one most under attack Cryptographic symmetric and asymmetric encryption methods are examples of means to ensure confidentiality when transmitting data from one computer system to another
Integrity on the other hand represents the certainty that data is accurate and not changed on its journey from the original sender to the intended receiver A common security attack often called a man-in-the-middle attack intercepts data and makes changes to it before passing it on to the intended receiver Cryptographic digital signature methods are one way to attest the integrity of code and data
In addition authenticity is needed to address the concern about genuine information In other words you want to make sure the information you receive actually comes from the source that claims to be its genuine origin Cryptographic digital certificates are used to prove the authenticity of the issuer
Now that we understand why CIA is important for a secure system letrsquos move to the third acronym IoT
After many years of being an overhyped marketing term the so-called Internet of Things (IoT) is starting to become mature and real Mark Weiser created the term ldquoubiquitous computingrdquo first in his famous Scientific American article ldquoThe Computer for the 21st Centuryrdquo pub lished September 1991 His thinking was so ahead of his time that it seemed like science fiction to most of his readers In 2016 his vision has become reality Ubiquitous computing (or ubicomp for short) became todayrsquos ndash perhaps overhyped ndash IoT
Weiser started his article ldquoThe most profound technologies are those that disappear They weave themselves into the fabric of
26 IoT Design Guide wwwembedded-computingcomtopicsiot
everyday life until they are indistinguishable from itrdquo He pre-dicted that computing devices would become commonplace and part of all aspects of life and he was right Just consider for example the consumer gadgets like fitness bands smart watches smart phones or navigation systems that send and receive data all day long Or consider the home which is con-nected to a power grid where a smart meter allows the energy provider to effectively calculate the resources needed to cover the demand of all households Interconnected computing devices are everywhere nowadays
Shifting focus to industrial applications todayrsquos business IoT applications are developed together with devices and services coming from various sectors of industry information tech-nology automation and production technology aerospace maritime and naval systems railways car manufacturers and their suppliers energy providers agricultural medical tech-nology and building automation All of those share character-istics including long life in the field reliability and robustness in harsh environments and reliable long-term availability
IoT systems rely on public networks but public networks are not secure environments While IoT creates new capabilities and services allows greater efficiencies increases flexibility and enables the customization of single production units it also opens up previously closed systems and allows attackers to get access to those systems from the outside world
Attackers often use reverse engineering techniques to iden-tify software vulnerabilities which they can exploit to create counterfeit products steal sensitive data or tamper with the device for sabotage and espionage purposes This can lead to serious and dangerous hacks as recent attacks on safety-critical automotive aerospace and medical components have shown
This brings us back to the CIA principle we started with The only way to avoid situations like those listed above is to apply

the CIA security model to the world of IoT devices As we have learned CIA is built around cryprograhic operations Todayrsquos modern cryprography leverages standard crypto protocols The Dutch cryptographer Auguste Kerckhoffs stated a maxim in the 19th century that would become known as Kerckhoffsrsquo principle A cryptosystem should be secure even if everything about the system except for the key is public knowledge
I repeat everything is public knowledge except for the key which is needed to encrypt and decrypt the content either directly or in a derived form So how do you store a key in a secure manner This brings me to the second acronym TPM the Trusted Platform Module
In the world of cryptography there is a ton of other acronyms referring to the various protocols and methods that are used to ensure the CIA principle To name just a few of them you have DES AES for symmetric cryptography and RSA ECC for asymmetric cryptography The list of acronyms goes on and on The really important part however is that the algorithms themselves are typically not secret they are publicly available just as Kerckhoffsrsquo principle demands it The only part that really needs to be kept secret is the key itself This sounds simple but it is pretty hard to achieve To keep the key secret you need a secure place like a safe which we will call a secure element to securely store the key A TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is such a secure element and it offers a lot more including the crypto protocols
In a nutshell a TPM is a specialized and dedicated device that offers crypto operations and secure storage for secret keys all in one This allows you to store the key in a secure place and even more importantly it allows the key to stay there so it never leaves its secure location All important crypto operations are done inside of the TPM itself and only the results are exposed This prevents the key from getting compromised In case you want to know why it is important to have this dedicated functionality separated in a dedicated device I recommend you to read the following two articles These should make it obvious how impor-tant it is to have a dedicated secure element like a TPM inside a computing device to make it secure trustable and reliable
So how can incidents like these be prevented Use technology that creates secured code and licenses that can be bound to a secure element in the target system ensuring that the code and the licensed features can only be used on an individual system License creation and deployment can be integrated into existing business processes such as ERP systems or e-commerce platforms This mechanism opens up new business models such as feature-on-demand upselling and time-based or pay-per-use licenses for the IoT and other intelligent devices The result is improved security from attacks malware theft and other malfeasance for code and IP

everyday life until they are indistinguishable from itrdquo He pre-dicted that computing devices would become commonplace and part of all aspects of life and he was right Just consider for example the consumer gadgets like fitness bands smart watches smart phones or navigation systems that send and receive data all day long Or consider the home which is con-nected to a power grid where a smart meter allows the energy provider to effectively calculate the resources needed to cover the demand of all households Interconnected computing devices are everywhere nowadays
Shifting focus to industrial applications todayrsquos business IoT applications are developed together with devices and services coming from various sectors of industry information tech-nology automation and production technology aerospace maritime and naval systems railways car manufacturers and their suppliers energy providers agricultural medical tech-nology and building automation All of those share character-istics including long life in the field reliability and robustness in harsh environments and reliable long-term availability
IoT systems rely on public networks but public networks are not secure environments While IoT creates new capabilities and services allows greater efficiencies increases flexibility and enables the customization of single production units it also opens up previously closed systems and allows attackers to get access to those systems from the outside world
Attackers often use reverse engineering techniques to iden-tify software vulnerabilities which they can exploit to create counterfeit products steal sensitive data or tamper with the device for sabotage and espionage purposes This can lead to serious and dangerous hacks as recent attacks on safety-critical automotive aerospace and medical components have shown
This brings us back to the CIA principle we started with The only way to avoid situations like those listed above is to apply

the CIA security model to the world of IoT devices As we have learned CIA is built around cryprograhic operations Todayrsquos modern cryprography leverages standard crypto protocols The Dutch cryptographer Auguste Kerckhoffs stated a maxim in the 19th century that would become known as Kerckhoffsrsquo principle A cryptosystem should be secure even if everything about the system except for the key is public knowledge
I repeat everything is public knowledge except for the key which is needed to encrypt and decrypt the content either directly or in a derived form So how do you store a key in a secure manner This brings me to the second acronym TPM the Trusted Platform Module
In the world of cryptography there is a ton of other acronyms referring to the various protocols and methods that are used to ensure the CIA principle To name just a few of them you have DES AES for symmetric cryptography and RSA ECC for asymmetric cryptography The list of acronyms goes on and on The really important part however is that the algorithms themselves are typically not secret they are publicly available just as Kerckhoffsrsquo principle demands it The only part that really needs to be kept secret is the key itself This sounds simple but it is pretty hard to achieve To keep the key secret you need a secure place like a safe which we will call a secure element to securely store the key A TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is such a secure element and it offers a lot more including the crypto protocols
In a nutshell a TPM is a specialized and dedicated device that offers crypto operations and secure storage for secret keys all in one This allows you to store the key in a secure place and even more importantly it allows the key to stay there so it never leaves its secure location All important crypto operations are done inside of the TPM itself and only the results are exposed This prevents the key from getting compromised In case you want to know why it is important to have this dedicated functionality separated in a dedicated device I recommend you to read the following two articles These should make it obvious how impor-tant it is to have a dedicated secure element like a TPM inside a computing device to make it secure trustable and reliable
So how can incidents like these be prevented Use technology that creates secured code and licenses that can be bound to a secure element in the target system ensuring that the code and the licensed features can only be used on an individual system License creation and deployment can be integrated into existing business processes such as ERP systems or e-commerce platforms This mechanism opens up new business models such as feature-on-demand upselling and time-based or pay-per-use licenses for the IoT and other intelligent devices The result is improved security from attacks malware theft and other malfeasance for code and IP

the CIA security model to the world of IoT devices As we have learned CIA is built around cryprograhic operations Todayrsquos modern cryprography leverages standard crypto protocols The Dutch cryptographer Auguste Kerckhoffs stated a maxim in the 19th century that would become known as Kerckhoffsrsquo principle A cryptosystem should be secure even if everything about the system except for the key is public knowledge
I repeat everything is public knowledge except for the key which is needed to encrypt and decrypt the content either directly or in a derived form So how do you store a key in a secure manner This brings me to the second acronym TPM the Trusted Platform Module
In the world of cryptography there is a ton of other acronyms referring to the various protocols and methods that are used to ensure the CIA principle To name just a few of them you have DES AES for symmetric cryptography and RSA ECC for asymmetric cryptography The list of acronyms goes on and on The really important part however is that the algorithms themselves are typically not secret they are publicly available just as Kerckhoffsrsquo principle demands it The only part that really needs to be kept secret is the key itself This sounds simple but it is pretty hard to achieve To keep the key secret you need a secure place like a safe which we will call a secure element to securely store the key A TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is such a secure element and it offers a lot more including the crypto protocols
In a nutshell a TPM is a specialized and dedicated device that offers crypto operations and secure storage for secret keys all in one This allows you to store the key in a secure place and even more importantly it allows the key to stay there so it never leaves its secure location All important crypto operations are done inside of the TPM itself and only the results are exposed This prevents the key from getting compromised In case you want to know why it is important to have this dedicated functionality separated in a dedicated device I recommend you to read the following two articles These should make it obvious how impor-tant it is to have a dedicated secure element like a TPM inside a computing device to make it secure trustable and reliable
So how can incidents like these be prevented Use technology that creates secured code and licenses that can be bound to a secure element in the target system ensuring that the code and the licensed features can only be used on an individual system License creation and deployment can be integrated into existing business processes such as ERP systems or e-commerce platforms This mechanism opens up new business models such as feature-on-demand upselling and time-based or pay-per-use licenses for the IoT and other intelligent devices The result is improved security from attacks malware theft and other malfeasance for code and IP
