KEEP CONTROL OF YOUR IOT NETWORK
What Is iMRC?
As the IoT has become an entry point for hackers, CEA-Leti is working with CEA-List and Tiempo to develop a new type of IoT component that can:
- Detect attacks
- Take back control of the system if attacks occur
This demonstrator illustrates the detection of DoS (Denial of Service)-type malware corresponding to a loss of communication between the object and its control server. It reproduces an attack on a home automation unit controlling several sensors and actuators – camera, light bulb, house door, meter – linked to a smartphone/tablet or PC app.
Applications: This technology covers all the IoT’s high-level security needs and is essential for many sectors, including:
- Transports
- Future of medecine
- Smart grids
- Smart cities
- Industry 4.0

What’s
new?
To ensure the IoT network resilience after an attack, the iMRC solution includes he following innovations: - Integrating a certified secure element, developing its ability to take control of the rest of the system and integrating it into a smart object
- Extracting internal signals to monitor the object's behavior
- Detecting attacks using artificial intelligence algorithms on a secure server
- Secure communication between the secure element and the server to send behavioral data and updates
|
What’s Next?
Future versions of iMRC and the updated demonstrator will include:
- Automatic detection of attacks by the object thanks to an automatic connection to an AI server
- Taking back control of an infected object remotely
- Updates to a fleet of objects when a vulnerability is detected in one or more smart objects
