Access Control Integration in Sparkplug-Based Industrial Internet of Things Systems: Requirements and Open Challenges

Pietro Colombo, Elena Ferrari

Abstract

Sparkplug (ISO, 2023) is an emerging open-source software specification that supports integrating applications and devices in Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) systems and eases data integration. Although recently introduced, Sparkplug has rapidly gained popularity, and its specifications have already been defined as an ISO standard. However, the basic data protection features it supports could hinder the adoption of Sparkplug on a large scale. Efficient access control solutions for Sparkplug-based IIoT systems open new research challenges. In this position paper, we take the first step to fill this void by presenting key requirements for integrating access control into Sparkplug systems and discussing significant issues for developing a suitable access control framework.
