“…In such systems, it can be necessary to add external calculation and storage capabilities to the IoRT network, as robots, at the edge, may not be able to process and store huge volumes of data. The main cyber-security problems involve insecure communication among users and robots, authentication issues, sensitive data exposing, and weak default robot configuration [ 139 ].…”

With the advent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, Internet of Things (IoT) and robotic systems are closely cooperating, reshaping their relations and managing to develop new-generation devices. Such disruptive technology corresponds to the backbone of the so-called Industry 4.0. The integration of robotic agents and IoT leads to the concept of the Internet of Robotic Things, in which innovation in digital systems is drawing new possibilities in both industrial and research fields, covering several domains such as manufacturing, agriculture, health, surveillance, and education, to name but a few. In this manuscript, the state-of-the-art of IoRT applications is outlined, aiming to mark their impact on several research fields, and focusing on the main open challenges of the integration of robotic technologies into smart spaces. IoRT technologies and applications are also discussed to underline their influence in everyday life, inducing the need for more research into remote and automated applications.

“…The proliferation of IoT devices on the market with little or no meaningful security associated with them [13], clearly shows the extent to which adequate security is not regarded as a high-priority for IoT device designers. Implementing a secure system from scratch not only requires a high degree of understanding of security principles and components; but also requires a significant additional effort over and above an insecure (or unsecured) configuration.…”

Devices connected as a part of the Internet of Things, and other connected devices, require secure mechanisms to facilitate the propagation of Command & Control messages to enable the remote management of the devices. The Secure Remote Update Protocol (SRUP) provides a mechanism to facilitate the formation of secure messages for transmission using common techniques. This paper describes the details of, and motivations behind, the creation of a Python wrapper for SRUP: and describes a worked example of usage. By using pySRUP a developer can integrate SRUP into their projects: with minimal additional effort, and requiring them to write less code than traditional unsecured alternatives.

“…Since the advent of IoT, the security research community has made an effort to raise awareness on the security challenges that the new paradigm brought. Some challenges, such as weak passwords or the lack of security updates, stem from best practices overlooked by manufacturers at the design phase [1]. Others, such as integration and automatic configuration, derive from the heterogeneous nature of the IoT itself [2].…”

Cybersecurity is one of the biggest challenges in the Internet of Things (IoT) domain, as well as one of its most embarrassing failures. As a matter of fact, nowadays IoT devices still exhibit various shortcomings. For example, they lack secure default configurations and sufficient security configurability. They also lack rich behavioural descriptions, failing to list provided and required services. To answer this problem, we envision a future where IoT devices carry behavioural contracts and Fog nodes store network policies. One requirement is that contract consistency must be easy to prove. Moreover, contracts must be easy to verify against network policies. In this paper, we propose to combine the security-by-contract (S × C) paradigm with Fog computing to secure IoT devices. Following our previous work, first we formally define the pillars of our proposal. Then, by means of a running case study, we show that we can model communication flows and prevent information leaks. Last, we show that our contribution enables a holistic approach to IoT security, and that it can also prevent unexpected chains of events.
