Secured automated or semi-automated systems

摘要

Secured automated or semi-automated systems are provided herein. In one embodiment, a sensor system includes a sensor, a legacy computing environment that is configured to communicate with the sensor and process sensor raw data output, and transmit the processed sensor output to a first network node over the network, and a trusted computing environment configured to receive raw sensor output directly from the sensor and transmit the raw sensor output to an additional network node or the first network node over the network.

1. A system, comprising:
a sensor; a legacy computing environment further comprising a specialized hardware processor that is configured to:
communicate with the sensor and receive and process raw sensor data output, the raw sensor data output representing unaltered data directly received from the sensor, and upon processing, results in processed sensor output; andtransmit the processed sensor output to a first network node over a network or via a trusted computing environment; and the trusted computing environment further comprising a specialized hardware processor configured to:
receive the raw sensor data output directly from the sensor; and transmit the raw sensor data output to an additional network node or the first network node over the network, the raw sensor data output being used to authenticate the processed sensor output, the trusted computing environment being further configured to detect malware infection or a malfunction by comparing test input data to the legacy computing environment and evaluating legacy computing environment output resulting from a legacy computing environment program using the test input data.
