However, the corresponding benefits come with unforeseen risks as also sensitive information is potentially exposed. Consequently, data security is of utmost importance and, thus, a central requirement for the successful implementation of these ecosystems. Current initiatives, such as IDS and GAIA-X, hence foster sovereign participation via a federated infrastructure where participants retain local control. However, these designs place significant trust in remote infrastructure by mostly implementing organizational security measures such as certification processes prior to admission of a participant. At the same time, due to the sensitive nature of involved data, participants are incentivized to bypass security measures to maximize their own benefit: In practice, this issue significantly weakens sovereignty guarantees. In this paper, we hence claim that data ecosystems must be extended with technical means to reestablish such guarantees. To underpin our position, we analyze promising building blocks and identify three core research directions toward stronger data sovereignty, namely trusted remote policy enforcement, verifiable data tracking, and integration of resource-constrained participants. We conclude that these directions are critical to securely implement data ecosystems in data-sensitive contexts.}, tags = {internet-of-production}, url = {https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2022/2022-lohmoeller-deco.pdf}, publisher = {CEUR Workshop Proceedings}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 1st International Workshop on Data Ecosystems (DEco '22), co-located with the 48th International Conference on Very Large Databases (VLDB '22), September 5-9, 2022, Sydney, Australia,}, event_place = {Sydney, Australia}, event_name = {International Workshop on Data Ecosystems (DEco '22)}, event_date = {September 5, 2022}, ISSN = {1613-0073}, reviewed = {1}, author = {Lohm{\"o}ller, Johannes and Pennekamp, Jan and Matzutt, Roman and Wehrle, Klaus} } @Inproceedings { 2022_dahlmanns_tlsiiot, title = {Missed Opportunities: Measuring the Untapped TLS Support in the Industrial Internet of Things}, year = {2022}, month = {5}, day = {31}, pages = {252-266}, abstract = {The ongoing trend to move industrial appliances from previously isolated networks to the Internet requires fundamental changes in security to uphold secure and safe operation. Consequently, to ensure end-to-end secure communication and authentication, (i) traditional industrial protocols, e.g., Modbus, are retrofitted with TLS support, and (ii) modern protocols, e.g., MQTT, are directly designed to use TLS. To understand whether these changes indeed lead to secure Industrial Internet of Things deployments, i.e., using TLS-based protocols, which are configured according to security best practices, we perform an Internet-wide security assessment of ten industrial protocols covering the complete IPv4 address space. Our results show that both, retrofitted existing protocols and newly developed secure alternatives, are barely noticeable in the wild. While we find that new protocols have a higher TLS adoption rate than traditional protocols (7.2 \% vs. 0.4 \%), the overall adoption of TLS is comparably low (6.5 \% of hosts). Thus, most industrial deployments (934,736 hosts) are insecurely connected to the Internet. Furthermore, we identify that 42 \% of hosts with TLS support (26,665 hosts) show security deficits, e.g., missing access control. Finally, we show that support in configuring systems securely, e.g., via configuration templates, is promising to strengthen security.}, keywords = {industrial communication; network security; security configuration}, tags = {internet-of-production, rfc}, url = {https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2022/2022-dahlmanns-asiaccs.pdf}, publisher = {ACM}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 2022 ACM Asia Conference on Computer and Communications Security (ASIACCS '22), May 30-June 3, 2022, Nagasaki, Japan}, event_place = {Nagasaki, Japan}, event_name = {ASIACCS '22}, event_date = {May 30-June 3, 2022}, ISBN = {978-1-4503-9140-5/22/05}, DOI = {10.1145/3488932.3497762}, reviewed = {1}, author = {Dahlmanns, Markus and Lohm{\"o}ller, Johannes and Pennekamp, Jan and Bodenhausen, J{\"o}rn and Wehrle, Klaus and Henze, Martin} }
