A Secure Data Processing Infrastructure for Research and Education in IoT, SCADA and SGX Systems

Abstract

Our goal was to develop a secure and scalable infrastructure that can efficiently perform big data analytics that are robust to adversarial attacks, while providing a cryptographically secure mechanism for preserving data privacy and security. Learning from our past experiences ofaddressing privacy issues on Intel SGX, a hardware-based cryptographically secure mechanism that provides confidentiality and data integrity, we utilized our expertise in building this framework for addressing data security concerns from IoT devices. We have purchased GPUs, SGX and other equipment and are subsequently developing the IoT and IIoT Test beds. In addition, we have also purchased equipment (e.g., drones and land vehicles) to integrate with this Testbed to conduct research in secure cyber physical systems. This report describes our sample research projects as well as the Testbed we are developing. The organization of this report is as follows. Section 2 lists the equipment we have purchased from the DURIP funds. Section 3 provides the highlights of our research. Our sample research projects are listed in Section 4. Our Testbed is discussed in Section 5. Some directions are given in Section 6. The high level architecture of the testbed is given in Appendix A.
