Abstract

The 4th Industrial Revolution takes manufacturing of products back to its roots – the unique, tailor made product. While currently focussing on mass production, the vision of Industrie 4.0 promises competitive realisation of a small number of products, or even unique single products. The circle from handmade products towards comparable industrial products closes. The post-industrialised countries of Europe are going into the direction of a new, agile and globally competitive next phase of industrial production. Industrie 4.0 re-industrialises Europe.

Within this scenario, data will become the crucial nucleus of any kind of business model or process. That means personal data from the end user will blend or even melt with construction data from the engineering domain and data form the shop-floor level of machine production lines. This leads directly to IT-security issues. Data-protection, protection of intellectual property and protection of the physical product against piracy will become crucial for the new business models.

IUNO focusses on addressing IT-security issues of I4.0 based on four demonstrators covering nearly all aspects of IT-security challenges. From creation of machine identities over encryption, technologies towards real time tracking and tracing of production environments against IT-security threats – IUNO will address every kind of problem. Finally, IUNO will provide threat-models, risk-models and security policies along with methodological approaches to use them. Additionally IUNO will create a set of IT-security tools, tailor made for small and median companies in order to cope with all challenges of I4.0 on shop-floor-level.
