Security by Design as an Approach to Design a Secure Industry 4.0-Capable Machine Enabling Online-Trading of Technology Data

Abstract

Industry 4.0 is characterized by intensive digitization of production and equipping the machines with a high use of ICT (information and communication technology. However, the fourth industrial revolution brings with it more security-related challenges. It is important to engineer, industrial solutions that design, build and run Industry 4.0-systems securely, reliably and effectively. Moreover, industrial systems are designed according to the new characteristics enabling connecting and interacting with other Industry 4.0-systems in a reliable manner. Furthermore, it is essential to consider the new innovative business models by designing these systems. The digital data and knowhow in companies are the most valuable assets and thus should be protected. This data are the new trade ware by many businesses and add new values to companies. In this paper, one of these models that are based on online-trading of technology data, is considered. Technology data are defined as machine's functioning parameters that are required to ensure a smooth operation of machines under different circumstances. The focus is to develop an Industry 4.0-capable machine with the new characteristics that an Industry 4.0-system have. The security concepts for protecting the technology data by designing and manufacturing the machine will be validated by means of a use case of participating in a technology data marketplace.
