Abstract

According to some embodiments, an overall chain-of-trust may be established for an industrial control system. Secure hardware may be provided, including a hardware security module coupled to or integrated with a processor of the industrial control system to provide a hardware root-of-trust. Similarly, secure firmware associated with a secure boot mechanism such that the processor executes a trusted operating system, wherein the secure boot mechanism includes one or more of a measured boot, a trusted boot, and a protected boot. Objects may be accessed via secure data storage, and data may be exchanged via secure communications in accordance with information stored in the hardware security model.

Description

Background technique [0001] The subject matter disclosed in this disclosure relates to industrial control systems, and more particularly, to securing the operation of industrial control systems. [0002] Industrial control systems such as power generation and transmission systems (eg, wind, hydro, and gas turbine systems) and manufacturing systems (eg, oil refineries, chemical manufacturing plants, etc.) are a common feature of modern industry. For such industrial control systems, an industrial controller may generally control the operation of the system. For example, certain devices (eg, sensors, pumps, valves, actuators, etc.) in an industrial control system can be controlled by, and can report data to, the industrial controller. Also, an industrial controller may execute instructions (eg, firmware and / or applications) that may generally enable the industrial controller to control the operation of an industrial control system (eg, a gas turbine system). These instructions ...
