Practical Industrial Internet of Things Security

By: Sravani Bhattacharjee

Overview of this book

Securing connected industries and autonomous systems is of primary concern to the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) community. Unlike cybersecurity, cyber-physical security directly ties to system reliability as well as human and environmental safety. This hands-on guide begins by establishing the foundational concepts of IIoT security with the help of real-world case studies, threat models, and reference architectures. You’ll work with practical tools to design risk-based security controls for industrial use cases and gain practical knowledge of multi-layered defense techniques, including identity and access management (IAM), endpoint security, and communication infrastructure. You’ll also understand how to secure IIoT lifecycle processes, standardization, and governance. In the concluding chapters, you’ll explore the design and implementation of resilient connected systems with emerging technologies such as blockchain, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. By the end of this book, you’ll be equipped with the all the knowledge required to design industry-standard IoT systems confidently.

Data link and physical access standards


Multiple wired and wireless media-based connectivity standards have been defined, addressing the requirements of resource-constrained, low-rate field and control connectivity. Security support for wide area networks (WAN), wireless personal area network (WPAN), and local area network (LAN) communication standards is presented in this section.

IEEE 802.15.4 WPAN

IEEE 802.15.4 is an open standard for low-rate wireless personal area networks (LR-WPANs), maintained by the IEEE 802.15 working group (WPAN-TG4), which specifies the physical and media access control for LR-WPANs. This standard forms the basis for other upper-layer protocols such as Zigbee, ISA100.11a, 6LoWPAN, WirelessHART, MiWi, SNAP, and Thread specifications (WPAN-WIKI). The physical layer specification defines the RF transceiver management, channel selection, energy, and signal management functions, and supports scalable spoke-hub and point-to-point network topologies. It defines two node...
