Enabling trust for IoT

With billions of things connecting to the Internet, the challenge is how to address security, privacy and safety, and where to get started. Most industries need a security technology that is easy to implement, seamless in use, economical, flexible for various use cases, and scalable for future scenarios.

Why secure your IoT application?

IoT applications enter our homes, vehicles, cities, farms, and industrial facilities, and will rapidly change how we travel, work, consume, and live. New businesses are built every day based on the connection of various devices, users, and backend services, called the internet of things (IoT).  

For any IoT application, it is crucial to protect data, user privacy, and safety. Breaches can harm production continuity and business processes, customers’ trust, and – worst of all – human health and life. If you are an IoT platform provider, you must provide your business-to-business (B2B) customers a secure infrastructure for the same reasons.

The fourth industrial revolution is here. Even though the internet of things can open up amazing new possibilities, it can also create some real dangers. Nexus helps you protect all types of smart devices by issuing certificates to them, so that you can secure their communication and avoid hijacking. Watch video »

How does it work?

Secure IoT is all about Identity of Things (IDoT); all connected devices and services must have trusted identities. A PKI provides cryptographically secure, unforgeable, theft-safe identities and is the best available security technology for large-scale distributed systems.

With IoT PKI, devices and services can be empowered with:

  • Authentication: Strong authentication ensures that only approved users and devices connect to the network.
  • Encryption: Certificates enable encrypted communication between devices and services.
  • Integrity: Digital signatures prove the origin and integrity of data and software.

Projects

ECSEL SECREDAS

ECSEL SECREDAS (Product Security for Cross Domain Reliable Dependable Automated Systems) is a Horizon 2020 EU funded project, which aims to propose a significant and innovative solution for the safety, security, and privacy of connected and automated vehicles and other automated systems.

SecureIoT

SecureIoT (Certificate-based Security for Resource-constrained Internet of Things) is a Eurostars project including South Korea and Sweden and organizations like Ajou University, KAIST University, Apros, Lily, RISE SICS, and Nexus, aimed to deliver security solutions for low-power IoT devices, including automatic certificate issuing to devices, certificate size reduction, and revocation management for IoT environments.

Cebot

CEBOT (Certificate Enrollment for Billions of Things) was a co-operation between Nexus and RISE SICS Swedish ICT, endorsed by Ericsson, Saab, Husqvarna, and others, aimed to equip small IoT devices with capabilities to obtain digital certificates in a secure and automated way and by using suitable communication protocols.Read more >
