The IIoT Disruption
The real value is a common architecture that connects
sensor to cloud, interoperates between vendors, and
spans industries
You don’t compete against competitors.
You compete against market transitions.

Safe & Secure Apps in the IIoT
• RTI experience 1000+ projects
• Safety and Security critical to most
• Requirements surprisingly similar across industries

Security is not a change driver
Security is a change gate
IIoT is the change driver

Change Driver:
Central Generation Fails
The Grid must be Distributed©2016 Real-Time Innovations, Inc. Permission to distribute
granted.

Change Gate: DER Grid will be Secure
• The OpenFMB (Field Message Bus) architecture
integrates solar, wind, and storage into the grid
• Dozens of vendors, several utilities, and standards
organizations are building devices, user interfaces,
and analytics
• OpenFMB uses DDS for secure communications

Change Driver: Mistakes Kill
Hospital error is the 3rd leading cause of death in the US
granted.

Change Gate: New IIoT Architecture is Secure
"GE Healthcare is leveraging the GE
Digital Predix architecture to connect
medical devices, cloud-based analytics,
and mobile and wearable instruments.
The future communication fabric of its
monitoring technology is based on RTI's
data-centric Connext DDS platform.”
-- Matt Grubis, Chief Engineer, GE
Healthcare's Life Care Solutions

Change Driver: Getting There is Dangerous and Slow
granted.

Change Gate: Why Drive?
• Autonomous cars (“carbots”)
– Safer, faster, easier
– Change everything
• 30% of all jobs will end or
change
• Distributed carbot/city
infrastructure will be secure

Change is Not Easy

company, you’re going to
wake up this morning as a

The Future of Secure, Distributed Software
“If you went to bed last
night as a software and
analytics company,
you’re going to wake up
this morning as a
networking and security
company”

The IISF
• Major contribution
• Only wide voice on
security for IIoT
• First of 3 releases from
IIC in the next few
months!
• Challenge: make it
practical

Deeper Look at Protecting Communications &
Connectivity

Communications & Connectivity Layers

Connectivity Standards & Security
• Requirements for Core Connectivity Technology:
– be an open standard with strong independent, international
governance, such as IEEE, IETF, OASIS, OMG, or W3C,
– Be horizontal and neutral in its applicability across industries,
– Be applicable, stable, and proven across multiple industries,
and
– Have standard-defined gateways to all other connectivity
standards

Building Blocks for Protecting Exchanged
Content
• Explicit Endpoint Communication Policies
• Cryptographically Strong Mutual Authentication
Between Endpoints
• Authorization Mechanism for Enforcing Access
Control Rules from Policy
• Cryptographically Backed Mechanisms for Ensuring
Confidentiality, Integrity, and Freshness of
Exchanged Information

Information Flow Protection
• Network Segmentation
• Gateways & Filtering
– Layer 2, Layer ¾, Application/Middleware, Message
rewriting, Proxies, Server Replication
• Network Firewalls
• Unidirectional Gateways
• Network Access Control

Closing Remarks

Security is Wide and Deep

Practical Security Needs Many Layers
• System edge
• Host
– Machine/OS/Applications/Files
• Network transport
– Media access (layer 2)
– Network (layer 3)
– Session/Endpoint (layer 4/5)
• Dataflow
– Control application interaction
Secure systems need all four

Systems are About the Data
Data Centricity Definition
a) The interface is the data.
b) The infrastructure understands that data.
c) The system manages the data and imposes
rules on how applications exchange data.

Practical Security Must Match Architecture
• DDS Databus controls dataflow
• DDS Security secures dataflow
– Control r,w access to each data item for
each function
• Complete Protection
– Discovery authentication
– Data-centric access control
– Cryptography
– Tagging & logging
– Non-repudiation
– Secure multicast
• No API. No code changes.
• Plugin architecture for advanced uses
