SIMPL: Secure Internet of Things Management Platform

The proliferation of IoT devices is increasing at a fast pace,whether for private or business use. However, despite their growing popularity, their safe operation is often not guaranteed. To tackle the security challenges of modern IoT environments, the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research is funding the SIMPL project in order to support research in this area.

The SIMPL project aims to develop a framework for secure communication in heterogeneous and dynamic networks, such as the Internet of Things (IoT).

Together with the industry partners Infosim, Mixed Mode, and Hahn-Schickard, the Secure Software Systems Group and the Software Engineering group are developing a communication middleware to facilitate secure information exchange between IoT devices communicating via publish/subscribe protocols such as MQTT. The SIMPL framework aims to provide a secure layer for message encryption and authentication, access control and key management, as well as trust establishment. To prevent vendor lock-in and single points of failure, decentralized approaches to achieve trust consensus will be explored in this project, for example through the use of blockchains.

The SIMPL project is funded by the Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung, and has a duration of three years (July 2018 to June 2021).

Remote Attestation (RA) is a basic security mechanism that detects malicious presence on various types of computing components, e.g., IoT devices. In a typical IoT setting, RA involves a trusted Verifier that sends a challenge to an untrusted remote Prover, which must in turn reply with a fresh and authentic evidence of being in a trustworthy state. However,most current RA schemes assume a central Verifier, which rep-resents a single point of failure. This feature is problematic when mutually suspicious stakeholders are involved. Furthermore, scalability issues arise as the number of IoT devices (Provers) grows. Although some RA schemes allow peer Provers to act as Verifiers, they involve unrealistic (for IoT devices) requirements, such as time synchronization and synchronous communication. Moreover, they incur heavy memory, computation,and communication burdens, while not considering sleeping or otherwise disconnected devices. Motivated by the need to address these limitations, we construct Scalable Collective Remote Attestation for Pub-Sub (SCRAPS), a novel collective RA scheme. It achieves scalability by outsourcing Verifier duties to a smart contract and mitigates DoS attacks against both Provers and Verifiers. It also removes the need for synchronous communication. Furthermore,RA evidence in SCRAPS is publicly verifiable, which significantly reduces the number of attestation evidence computations, thus lowering Prover burden. We report on a prototype of SCRAPS over Hyperledger Sawtooth (a blockchain geared for IoT use-cases) and evaluate its performance, scalability, and security aspects.

The Internet is evolving. The Internet of Things (IoT) is a disruptive technology, billions of small and smart devices are encompassing every aspect of our lives, which leads us to a new era of the Internet. IoT connects billions of heterogeneous embedded devices in large networks. Restricted capabilities of the devices in combination with various mutually mistrusting parties throughout the network pose new challenges to security. As IoT devices become increasingly important, so does trust in their secure and reliable operation. But before we can trust them, we need to establish the trust. In the past, remote attestation has emerged into a very powerful tool in order to establish trust between devices. Traditional remote attestation establishes a static trust between two devices. This approach suffers badly heterogeneity of IoT network and purely scales to a large number of devices. Furthermore, it is very vulnerable to Denial of Service attacks. Within this thesis, we present a new approach to Remote Attestation in IoT networks. Our design combines the core strength of Remote Attestation with the advantages blockchain technology in order to enable attestation and validation of attestation evidences in a scalable manner. At rst, we develop a remote attestation scheme on a low end device serving as an exemplary IoT device. Second, we design our smart verifier, a flexible system capable of validating and storing attestation evidence. The system is build on top of blockchain technology and solves several issues accompanied by Traditional Remote Attestation in IoT such as scalability and device heterogeneity. In the end, we build and evaluate a proof of concept implementation based on ARM TrustZone and Sawtooth Hyperledger. The proposed system architecture enables trust establishment in a scalable manner even in heterogeneous networks while preventing denial of service attacks

The number of devices connected to the Internet of Things (IoT) is continuously increasing to several billion nowadays. As those devices often share sensitive data, encryption of those data is an important issue. The pure volume of data and the complexity of communication patterns increases, and, accordingly, the importance of group encryption is recently gaining more importance. Still, the choice of the best-suited group encryption scheme for a specific application is complicated. Benchmarks can support this choice. However, while literature distinguishes three categories for the schemes (central, decentral, and hybrid), a one-fits-all benchmark seems challenging to achieve. In this paper, we go the first step towards a structured benchmark for group encryption schemes by presenting a benchmark for centralized group encryption schemes in an IoT scenario. To this end, our benchmark includes a description of workloads, a baseline scheme, a measurement setup, and metrics while also considering the requirements and features of centralized group encryption schemes.

With the recent spike of Internet of Things (IoT) and "smart" devices, there has also been an increase in the amount of attacks on IoT networks. Wide-reaching attacks such as the one from the Mirai botnet in 2016 show how crucial it is to know that a device can be trusted before initiating communication. Remote Attestation (RA) is a proven method for asserting that a device is in a benign state. It is a challenge-response process between two parties, where the first checks the trustworthiness of the second. However, it is characterizable with low scalability a critical issue in the IoT sector. In our work, we model a new RA protocol, called Aggregatable Remote Attestation, which would allow a device to process multiple RA challenges simultaneously. We base it on the already existing SIMPLE architecture and implement it as a Proof-of-Concept (PoC) by modifying the code of the Security MicroVisor the core component of SIMPLE. We evaluate our work in terms of security and performance and show that it greatly outperforms the underlying SIMPLE. We discuss the relevance of our design in relation to the IoT sphere and denote a small set of potential topics for future work and research.

New emerging technologies, such as autonomous driving, intelligent buildings, and smart cities, are promising to revolutionize user experience and offer new services. The world has to undergo large scale deployment of billions of things — cost-efficient intelligent sensors that will be interconnected into extensive networks and will collect and supply data to intelligent algorithms — to make it happen. To date, however, it is challenging to secure such an infrastructure for many-fold reasons, such as resource constraints of things, large scale deployment, manyto-many communication patterns, and dynamically changing communication groups. All these factors rule out most of the state-of-the-art encryption and key-management techniques. Group encryption algorithms are well-suitable for many-tomany communication patterns typical for IoT networks, and many of them can deal with dynamic groups. There are, however, very few constructions that could potentially fulfill the computational and storage constraints of IoT devices while providing sufficient scalability for large networks. The promising candidates, such as construction by Nishat et al. [1], were not evaluated using IoT platforms and under constraints typical for IoT networks. In this paper, we aim to fill this gap and present the evaluation of a state-of-the-art group-oriented encryption scheme by Nishat et al. to identify its applicability to IoT systems. In detail, we provide a measurement workflow, a revised version of the approach, and describe a reproducible hardware testbed. Using this evaluation environment, we analyze the performance of the encryption scheme in a typical IoT scenario from a group member perspective. The results show that all calculation times can be assumed to be constant and are always below 2 seconds. The memory requirement for permanent parameters can also be considered to be constant and are below 8.5 kbit in each case. However, the information that has to be stored temporarily for group updates has turned out to be the bottleneck of the scheme, since their memory requirements increase linearly with the group size.

We investigate and address the currently unsolved problem of trust establishment in large-scale Internet of Things (IoT) networks where heterogeneous devices and mutually mistrusting stakeholders are involved. We design, prototype and evaluate LegIoT, a novel, probabilistic trust management system that enables secure, dynamic and flexible(yet inexpensive) trust relationships in large IoT networks. The core component of LegIoT is a novel graph-based scheme that allows network devices (graph nodes) to re-use the already existing trust associations(graph edges) very efficiently; thus, significantly reducing the number of individually conducted trust assessments. Since no central trusted third party exists, LegIoT leverages Distributed Ledger Technology(DLT) to create and manage the trust relation graph in a decentralized manner.The trust assessment among devices can be instantiated by any appropriate assessment technique, for which we focus on remote attestation(integrity verification) in this paper. We prototyped LegIoT for Hyper-ledger Sawtooth and demonstrated through evaluation that the number of trust assessments in the network can be significantly reduced – e.g.,by a factor of 20 for a network of 400 nodes and factor 5 for 1000 nodes.
