Secure IOT Gateway
- 1. LinuxCon Tokyo, Japan 2016 Secure IoT Gateway Jim Gallagher Senior Technical Marketing Lead, MontaVista Software
- 2. Setting the Stage • This presentation will focus on developing Secure Gateways (Edge Computing & Connectivity) in the IoT Architecutre • Primarily discussion will be on Architecture, Security, and Maintainence features Sensors Gateway Cloud/Database & Analytics Applications L i n u x
- 4. Architecture: Modern vs Wild West
- 5. Architecture choices Embedded processor considerations: – Processor family • ARM • Intel x86 • PowerPC and MIPS possible but not as popular – Power consumption • ARM: low power, advanced PM features • Intel x86: limited PM options
- 6. Architecture choices (ctd) Embedded processor considerations: – Performance • ARM: Good core performance on lower Ghz • Intel x86: ”Add Ghz -> more perf” – Optimizations • Security offload • Virtualization – Deployment model • SOC model vs. ”generic compute” • Longevity?
- 7. Ecosystem Intel vs. ARM really • PPC and MIPS thin and fading ecosystem • Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, OpenSUSE, MontaVista, WindRiver, and Enea all have/will have x86 and ARM support for mainstream distros • LINARO (ARM lead) Yocto project (Intel lead) • Consolidate embedded development on OE/bitbake
- 8. Connectivity
- 9. Sensors, Sensors everywhere! Simple sensor data drives the IoT engine • Fitness trackers, heart monitors, oil and pressure temperature gauges, & packet latency in SDN Gateway L i n u x What connects them • Wireless: Bluetooth, Wi-fi, Cellular Modem, (3G/4G/5G), Zigbee, & 6loPAN • The bus lineup: Canbus, Profibus, & Modbus • Serial, SPI, I2C • Near Field Communication (NFC) • Prioprietary Implications • Selected architecture must support (directly or USB/PCI) ALL • Drivers as well...possible port from different architecture • Enough performance • Maintain versions • Brace for the new
- 10. To the Cloud Data from sensors is the lifeblood of IoT • Connects to cloud or database • Gateways can filter/preprocess data • Push must be secure (encrypted and authenticated) • Connectivity is bi-redirectional so IoT Gateway must be secure from the cloud IoTivity Community framework to connect end devices Alljoyn Open Source Framework Connect and communicate across transports/OSes
- 11. Security
- 12. Recent Real-World Examples • DHS confirms Public Sector Control system hacked – Attacking inadequate perimeter security, an attacker could compromise the SCADA system with capability to inject commands and read data at will – The controlled device was brought down for maintenance so no damage done • Boeing and Airbus – Hacker used in-flight Wi-Fi connection to hack into flight control systems – Allegedly controlled thrust for engines, oxygen mask deployment, etc. • Drones – Johns Hopkins University research demonstrated 3 different ways to send unwanted commands – Could force drones to land or just crash • Personal vehicles – Jeep hacked through navigation and Corvette hacked by SMS – Activate wipers, apply brakes, disable engine & brakes
- 13. Design Considerations • Building security primarily in the Gateway? – Edge devices are constrained on hardened channel – Requires encryption for the channel and two-way authentication for setup • Trusted edge vs. Edge Computing - two polars? – Moving computing to the edge can help build end-to- end efficiency, but requires edge and gateway devices to handle the security – Can also be seen as a way to fence out security threats for some layers of the processing so they cannot be exploited from the Cloud • Lifecycle: secure firmware updates and CVEs – The Edge is relying on the IT-supported backend to handle the updates, requires careful consideration for the technology and process • Provide monitoring for end-to-end data on the Gateway – Using DPI for heuristics- based detection of exploits • Combining types of security: physical, networking, system integrity and isolation of domains Architectural Functional

- 15. Types of Security Measures • Reactive Measures – Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) • https://cve.mitre.org/ • The standard list for holes in common systems • Very important to cover the affected parts in your product; MontaVista will do this for you – Intrusion-detection systems • Take action based on perceived attack • Several systems exist for Linux (LIDS, auditd, inotify, tripwire..) – Auditing and logging • Knowing you’ve been attacked prevents further damage • Collect evidence for litigation against the attacker • Example tools: Auditd, syslog, inotify, SELinux.. • Proactive Measures – Mandatory Access Control (MAC) • Minimizes the damage that unknown exploits can do to your system • Increases the chances to block 0-day exploits (unknown vulnerabilities) – System Certification • Provide Common Criteria or similar certification for your product or platform • MontaVista’s Linux is certifiable and we can help with the process – Root of Trust

- 17. • Make Security a Priority • Implement Mixture – Reactive – Proactive • Stay Current
- 18. Maintenance
- 19. IoT Maintainability Requirements • Product life cycle support • Ability to upgrade application, kernel, drivers, userland, or whole system • Upgrades done with little to no “human” interaction and downtime – Wireless delivery • Secure updates – Authentication – Encryption
- 20. Addressing IoT Maintenance with Linux • Long Term Support (LTS) Kernel – Can be extended beyond 10+ years in commercial Linux distributions • SMART package manager – Allows for source or binary distribution – Flexible to update userland, application, etc. • Live kernel patching • Crypto API support • Trusted Platform Module (TPM) and TrustZone for secure OTA updates
- 21. IoT: Signed OTA Updates • IoT devices and Gateways have embedded requirements for small footprint but still a very high demand for security • The process relies on the Kernel Live Patches, RPMs, or Container images being hashed and signed by a certificate that can be validated by the TPM or TEE on the target system if necessary – Can also support two-way signatures by using standard RPM signing using GPG keys, potentially enforced by the server-side TPM. • Such processes are adopted by OSVs like Symantec, Redbend and practically all product manufacturers that are concerned about running trusted/secure SW on the devices. • Without secure updates, the integrity of the platform cannot be maintained. ServerDevice Decrypt and verify signature Update Data Generate, Sign and Encrypt Host OS Update Data Pubkey- TPM SecKey- Host PubKey- Host SecKey- TPM Deliver update • RPM / deb / IPK • Docker, VM image • Kernel (Live) Patch TPM TPM/TEE SDK Linux Linux
- 22. Summary • Embedded Linux offers solid software platform to IoT Gateway developers – Architecture – Connectivity • Security is IMPORTANT to implement • High uptime maintainability
