Problem Statement
- This invention addresses the need for network security in emerging technologies and resource-constrained devices like IoT devices. These devices lack the computational power for traditional security, and their reliance on system software exposes them to attacks.
- The unmet need is to establish network trust with minimal resources and without depending on system software.
- The invention aims to enable secure transmission of trust scores while providing a Zero Trust security approach tailored for emerging technologies.
Technology
Real-time Trust Assessment:
- Continuous monitoring and assessment of device trust levels during runtime.
System-Software Independence:
- Security measures not reliant on the device’s operating system.
Resource Efficiency:
- Minimizing computational power for security on resource-constrained devices.
Customizable Trust Algorithms:
- Flexibility to adapt trust computation to specific security requirements.
Secure Communication:
- Ensuring trust scores are transmitted securely to external devices or networks.
Key Features/ Value Proposition
Technical Perspective:
- This innovation offers dynamic trust assessment, system-software independence, resource-efficient security, customizable trust computation, and secure communication.
User Perspective:
- Users enjoy heightened security, independence from the device’s OS, resource-friendly operation, customization, and trustworthy network access for IoT and emerging tech devices.
