Beware of hacking! What is missing from the IoT security system?

In recent years, the Internet of Things technology has developed rapidly, and the atmosphere of the Internet of Things has gradually emerged. However, with the increase in the number of IoT devices, security issues have become one of the toughest issues in the industry. Therefore, key technologies such as big data and cloud computing have become the top priority for software platform vendors to open the door to the Internet of Things.

It is reported that by 2015, IoT equipment will grow from 3.8 billion to 4.9 billion. Some people think that the future will become the era of hackers. Faced with such pressure, the industry must start to develop an efficient and secure open platform. As the leading Internet system software provider, Wind River is working hard to create a complete IoT ecosystem to accelerate the popularity of hardware devices in the public.

To overcome the bottleneck of the Internet of Things, Wind River aims to build a security platform

For the IoT software platform, connectivity, manageability and security are the three major focuses of the Internet of Things. This is also the challenge and bottleneck encountered by IoT vendors. Su Jianhao, Manager of the Internet of Things Program for Wind River Asia Pacific, said that in the era of the Internet of Things, devices must be deployed in many places, and the stability, security, and subsequent software upgrades of the transmission are challenges. Moreover, many hardware vendors and operators are seriously lacking in security concepts and are at high risk of being attacked by hackers.

In addition, when talking about Wind River's solution for the Internet of Things, Su Jianhao pointed out that the main factors of Fenghe's success are the following three points:

First of all, the IoT device itself needs to have security protection. Our doors have integrated the industry's Trusted Platform Module (TPM) hardware and software to provide secure boot, protect file integrity and provide a secure storage environment. Why is this important? Because the intelligent gateway is an important infrastructure in the Internet of Things, the key factor in adopting this device is “trust”. You will not use any device that you do not trust; that is, what we usually call is subject to security authentication and authorization. This situation is particularly applicable to smart meters, medical equipment, avionics, and the like. Device security protection is prevention that is modified to ensure that it performs the work that was supposed to be performed.

The second is security management, which is mainly to monitor the use of equipment and system maintenance updates. It is possible to remotely authenticate the management server in the background, not only to ensure that the connected terminal is authenticated, but also to identify whether the software update instructions are authentic. Security package updates ensure that the software being downloaded to the device is secure.

Finally, the protection of the data. Role Access Control (RBAC) ensures that the device that the application is accessing has the correct permissions and priorities, while ensuring that the entire device is not interrupted or tampered with during execution.

In addition, Wind River launched VxWorks 7 earlier this year to provide advanced security features that effectively protect IoT devices, data and intellectual property. Security Profile for VxWorks provides full protection for connected devices, ranging from startup, operation, data transfer, and shutdown. It also effectively protects intellectual property and prevents plagiarism and deciphering through reverse engineering.

Promote the standardization of the Internet of Things and realize the security of the Internet of Things

At present, there are a large number of companies in the industry, and software platform companies are not a minority, but they have not formed a standard system. Su Jianhao believes that the standardization of the Internet of Things is a worthwhile direction. Since the Internet of Things covers a wide range of different industries, it is difficult to have a unified standard in the short term, but how to use the existing standard technology to solve the Internet of Things. The problem will be the goal of the Wind River software platform. The scale of the Internet of Things market continues to expand, and the challenges associated with so many networked smart devices have brought many challenges. Device management, intelligent connectivity, and security are all issues that must be considered in the development of the Internet of Things. Sex is the most important. Wind River introduces the Wind River Intelligent Device Platform (IDP) as a software development platform, a scalable, sustainable, and highly secure solution that simplifies the development, integration, and deployment of IoT gateways. The biggest advantage of IDP is its high real-time performance, and the importance of security issues from the lowest level of architecture, so it is extremely reliable.

IDP is built on Wind River's standardized, fully tested operating systems and development tools, including device security, intelligent connectivity, and rich network options and device management capabilities. Integrating the existing mature technology standards in the industry into the IDP software development platform is the greatest contribution of Wind River to the realization of the Internet of Things.

Following the trend of the software platform, Fenghe actively deployed the Internet of Things.

Due to the rise of the Internet of Things, the demand for middleware in various industries has increased, and the demand for end-to-end management and maintenance has increased. The operating system alone has been unable to meet such requirements, so the demand for end-to-end software as a whole is increasing. It is a new opportunity for the Internet of Things to bring to Wind River and other embedded software companies. In the future, the development trend of the Internet of Things software platform will be the main trend with a complete ecosystem and a complete solution from the client to the cloud.

The historical process of the development of the Internet of Things is: equipment can not be connected to the network, network equipment can provide data analysis services, and then integrated to create new revenue and business models. At this stage, most IoT companies have begun to deploy a large number of connected devices, but to the cloud infrastructure, remote monitoring, remote system updates, remote device management and data analysis, many complex applications are new IoT software platforms. Challenges, but these challenges are also the direction in which software platforms can evolve.

Su Jianhao pointed out that Wind River will actively deploy the Internet of Things market in the future, providing manageability, security and connectivity to meet a wide range of applications in the entire industry ecosystem. This is a strategic goal. In the Chinese market, Wind River will focus on three areas of rail transit, smart energy and smart buildings.

Improving security is the premise of the development of the Internet of Things. Therefore, hardware companies such as software platform vendors and smart homes and wearable devices must make every effort to improve product technology and provide users with a benign experience to create an Internet of Things security ecosystem. ring.
