Abstract

The open and cooperative nature of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) poses a signifi-cant new challenge in assuring dependability. A European funded project named DEIS addresses this important and unsolved challenge by developing technologies that facilitate the efficient synthesis of components and systems based on their de-pendability information. The key innovation that is the aim of DEIS is the corre-sponding concept of a Digital Dependability Identity (DDI). A DDI contains all the information that uniquely describes the dependability characteristics of a CPS or CPS component. In this paper we present an overview of the DDI, and provide the protocol for ensur-ing the security of the DDI while it is in transit and rest. Additionally, we provide con-fidentiality, integrity and availability validation of the protocol.
