| Abstract | Modern embedded IoT devices are an attractive target for cyber attacks. For example, they can be used to disable entire factories and ask for ransom. Recovery of compromised devices is not an easy task, because malware can subvert the original software and make itself persistent. In addition, many embedded devices do not implement remote recovery procedures and, therefore, require manual intervention.Recent proposals from NIST and TCG define concepts and building blocks for cyber resilience: protection, detection and recovery. In this paper, we describe a system which allows implementing cyber resilient IoT devices that can be recovered remotely and timely. The proposed architecture consists of trusted data monitoring, local and remote attack detection, and enforced connections to remote services as building blocks for attack detection and recovery. Further, hardware- and software-based implementations of such a system are presented. |
