Abstract
Disclosed herein is a system and method implementing a trusted IoT security gateway architecture, based on a microhypervisor, that provides a guarantee that the correct security protections are applied to each IoT device's network traffic at all times, including when under attack. The disclosed architecture provides robust trust properties to a broad range of legacy hardware platforms utilizing existing software with a reasonable performance overhead.
Claims15
A system for providing a secure environment for IoT devices comprising:
- a controller defining a control plane for the IoT device, the controller executing software that is either protected by or attested by a controller microhypervisor;
- and
- a security gateway defining a data plane, the security gateway including one or more middleboxes and a vSwitch attested by a security gateway microhypervisor.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
