SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SECURING COMMAND AND DATA INTERFACES TO SENSORS AND DEVICES THROUGH THE USE OF A PROTECTED SECURITY ZONE

摘要

Various embodiments of the invention increase security of a network of interoperable devices. In certain embodiments, this is accomplished by a security module that is uses a user-definable security policy that sets forth one or more tests for validating input data or commands received from an IoT device. A validator receives the command via a command controller and performs a security analysis of the command according to the security policy. Responsive to the security analysis, the validator generated a validation signal in order to authorize or reject further processing of the command.

主权项

1. A security module to provide a security service to a network of interoperable devices, the security module comprising:
a security policy that is stored in a memory device, the security policy sets forth one or more tests for validating an input from a device; and a processor-enabled validator that receives the input via a command controller that is coupled to a network interface, performs a security analysis of the input according to the security policy, and, responsive to the security analysis, outputs a validation signal to authorize or reject further processing of the input.
