| contents | In the context of industrial environment, devices, such as robots and drones, are vulnerable to malicious activities such device tampering (e.g., hardware and software changes). The problem becomes even worse in a multi-stakeholder environment where multiple players contribute to an ecosystem.
In such scenarios, particularly, when devices are deployed in remote settings, ensuring device integrity so that all stakeholders can trust them is challenging. Existing methods, often depend on additional hardware like the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) which may not be universally provided by all vendors. In this study, we introduce a distributed ledger technology-oriented architecture to monitor the remote devices' integrity using eUICC technology, a feature commonly found in industrial devices for cellular connectivity. We propose that using secure applets in eUICC, devices' integrity can be monitored and managed without installing any additional hardware.
To this end, we present an end-to-end architecture to monitor device integrity thereby enabling all the stakeholders in the system to trust the devices. Additionally, we leverage the properties of immutable databases to provide robustness and efficiently to our model. In our primary evaluations, we measure the overhead caused by hashing our proposed data packets and performance of integrating an immutable database into our system. Our results show that performing hashing on our data packets takes order of microseconds, while reading and writing to an immutable database also requires only milliseconds. |
