“Smart Industry” is an (r)evolution that builds on many technology advances over the past decades but which will fundamentally change the way factories and workplaces function. “Smart” means doing things more efficiently, more flexibly and in a more environmentally friendly manner while creating a safer workplace. Quality sensor data play a critical role in successful smart industry: productivity, quality, reliability, and safety heavily depend on the accurate and reliable data provided by the sensors employed.
The ability to collect data through sensors by monitoring processes, products, and assets, to analyze these data, and to extract the right insights to make right decisions is at the core. These right decisions will help improve efficiency, reduce cost, and increase productivity.

Key Management in Embedded End-to-End Encryption through Digital Ledger Technology
2:00 – 2:40
Presenter: Jay Fallah, CTO of NXM
Increased digitization in our daily life and the conveniences that it brings has also meant increased data breaches and government surveillance, through the same digital devices. Service providers, hardware manufacturers and data warehouses are relying on encryption to preserve privacy and provide security. Software providers such as WhatsApp ushered an era of End to End (E2E) encryption to preserve the confidentiality of data on the wire as well as from service providers by performing encryption/decryption at clients keeping the keys strictly within client devices. Device manufacturers, such as Samsung and Apple, have introduced their own system to ensure integrity and security for the client devices. In the sensor/actuator networks and the Internet of Things (IoT) realms there is no such equivalence resulting in several high-profile device breaches and IoT device hacks in recent years. Low price, sheer diversity and the kludgy nature of these edge devices has resulted in flawed system designs and security assumptions. The Centre for Autonomous Security and Data Integrity (CASDI) proposes an Embedded End to End Encryption (EE2EE) scheme for preserving security and privacy that could be implemented at the chip level. The path proposed would allow for encryption to harden security and privacy in the firmware, application level, data and communication for any chip to any cloud. We conclude with general design guidelines to securely build such systems.
Presenter bio : Jay Fallah is the CTO and Co-founder of NXM Labs and the Chief Research Officer (CRO) of the Center for Autonomous Security and Data Integrity (CASDI). Jay is a dedicated technologist focusing on Identity and Access Management (IAM) for the Internet of Things (IoT). His current focus is to enable scalability and management of IoT through automation and Digital Ledger Technology (DLT). He believes that Control and User Plane Separation (CUPS), embedded end to end encryption (EE2EE) and a decentralized-distributed event-centric Peer to Peer (P2P) methodology are essential for programmability and cybersecurity at the edge.
