In this paper, a lightweight attribute-based security scheme based on elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) is proposed for fog-enabled cyber physical systems (Fog-CPS). A novel aspect of the proposed scheme is that the communication between Fog-CPS entities is secure even when the certification authority (CA) is compromised. This is achieved by dividing the attributes into two sets, namely, secret and shared, and subsequently generating two key pairs, referred to as the partial and final key pairs, for each entity of the Fog-CPS system. Unlike existing attribute-based encryption (ABE) and identity-based encryption schemes, in the proposed scheme, each entity calculates the final public key of the communicating CPS devices without the need of generating and transmitting digital certificates. Moreover, the proposed security scheme considers an efficient and secure key pair update approach in which the calculation overhead is limited to one group element. To show the effectiveness of the proposed scheme, we have calculated and compared the memory and processing complexity with other bilinear and elliptic curve schemes. We have also implemented our scheme in a Raspberry Pi (3B+ model) for CPS simulations. The proposed scheme guarantees the confidentiality, integrity, privacy, and authenticity in Fog-CPS systems.

The trustworthiness of data is vital data analysis in the age of big data. In cyber-physical systems, most data is collected by sensors. With the increase of sensors as Internet of Things (IoT) nodes in the network, the security risk of data tampering, unauthorized access, false identify, and others are overgrowing because of vulnerable nodes, which leads to the great economic and social loss. This paper proposes a security scheme, Securing Nodes in IoT Perception Layer (SNPL), for protecting nodes in the perception layer. The SNPL is constructed by novel lightweight algorithms to ensure security and satisfy performance requirements, as well as safety technologies to provide security isolation for sensitive operations. A series of experiments with different types and numbers of nodes are presented. Experimental results and performance analysis show that SNPL is efficient and effective at protecting IoT from faulty or malicious nodes. Some potential practical application scenarios are also discussed to motivate the implementation of the proposed scheme in the real world.

A New Technique

Recently, optimistic fair exchange in electronic commerce (e-commerce) or mobile commerce (m-commerce) has made great progress. However, new technologies create large amounts of data and it is difficult to handle them. Fortunately, with the assistance of cloud computing and big data, optimistic fair exchange of digital items in cyber-physical systems (CPSes) can be efficiently managed. Optimistic fair exchange in cloud-assisted CPSes mainly focuses on online data exchange in e-commerce or online contracts signing. However, there exist new forms of risks in the uncertain network environment. To solve the above problems, we use a new technique called verifiably encrypted identity-based signature (VEIS) to construct optimistic fair exchange in cloud-assisted CPSes. VEIS is an encrypted signature, and we can check the validity of the underlying signature without decrypting it. We introduce a robust arbitration mechanism to guarantee fairness of the exchange, and even the trusted third party (TTP) cannot get the original signatures of the exchange parties. And the TTP in our protocol is offline, which greatly improves the efficiency. Besides, we show that our protocol is secure, fair, and practical.

With the advent of the Internet of Everything era, the Industrial Internet is increasingly showing mutual integration and development. Its core framework, the industrial CPS (Cyber-Physical Systems), has received more and more attention and in-depth research in recent years. These complex industrial CPS systems are usually composed of multiple interdependent sub-networks (such as physical networks and control networks, etc.). Minor faults or failure behaviors between sub-networks may cause serious cascading failure effects of the entire system. In this paper, we will propose a security scheme based on intranal-adding links in the face of the integrated and converged industrial CPS system environment. Firstly, by calculating the size of the largest connected component in the entire system, we can compare and analyze industrial CPS systems’ security performance under random attacks. Secondly, we compare and analyze the risk of cascading failure between integrated industrial CPS systems under different intranal-adding link strategies. Finally, the simulation results verify the system security strategy’s effectiveness under different strategies and show a relatively better exchange strategy to enhance the system’s security. In addition, this paper’s research work can help us design how to further optimize the interdependent industrial CPS system’s topology to cope with the integrated and converged industrial CPS system environment.
