Security Safety and Trust Management (SSTM' 19)

Abstract

In today's Internet of Everything (IOE), security and safety hazards have been promptly increasing. The rapidly evolving and complex technological innovations continuously impede preemptive security and safety mechanisms. In such a scenario, well-functioning mechanisms and versatile systems are essential, which can contribute towards advanced safety and security approaches. To avoid the hazardous situation, these efficient systems and mechanisms work on two important principles including security policy to counter threats and the resilience to handle safety hazards. The role of trust to manage safety and security is significant. It is actually the belief that the system is competent enough to function securely, reliably, and dependably in a specific context. Therefore, the unified approach to manage trustworthiness, safety, and security on such systems can be of great importance. By developing trust among different entities involved in such systems/mechanisms, the security of the sensitive resources can be ensured more effectively. In the same way, several trust levels on the systems within a network could enhance cooperation and security by minimizing safety hazards and malicious activities. Moreover, there is a robust requirement of developing generic safety and security management mechanism, which should be reliable enough to handle multiple numbers and types of resources since systems/mechanisms integrate applications of different nature. Each of these applications/systems requires different safety rules, information assurance, and security policies that existing systems are incapable to manage. Therefore, in order to several types of resources, the co-engineering approach should be adopted during development, which addresses both safety hazards and security threats.
