Poster Abstract: Securing Edge-Based Real-Time IoT Systems

The advent of the Internet of Things (IoT) has led to an increased demand for security and real-time guarantees in distributed embedded systems comprising the IoT. Securing edge-based systems with limited resources can be especially problematic due to challenges in adapting traditional network security protocols. In this work, we introduce two methods to provide security guarantees in resource-constrained devices-based ioT systems. As a case study, we propose an integration of Secure Swarm Toolkit (SST), an open-source framework for IoT security, with Lingua Franca (LF), a software platform for concurrent and time-sensitive applications. We report preliminary results on our work-in-progress implementation and experiments, followed by concrete future research plans.
