Adaptation of Architecture Analyses: An IoT Safety and Security Flaw Assessment Approach
Julia Rauscher, Bernhard Bauer · 2021
Almost everything is connected nowadays or will be in the near future.This trend, called Internet of Things (IoT) or Cyber Physical Systems (CPS), is able to enhance multiple areas e.g. an individual's life, complex industrial processes or common medical treatments.Though, these improvements frequently affect safety and security critical topics.While this development has many advantages to bring, many challenges arise as well.Most approaches focus on safety and security analyses or monitoring tools determined to apply during run time.These approaches do not consider that plenty of the most dangerous vulnerabilities have to be addressed in the design phase already.Hence, we present an approach to adapt architecture analyses of IoT related areas to provide a holistic tool to assess flaws and possible countermeasures to design a save and secure CPS system.
