Manufacturing & Industrial Control
Robotic lines, PLCs, and IoT sensors gain resilience from hardware-anchored trust.
Where downtime is measured in lost production
Continuous operation
A production line cannot be taken offline to reimage a compromised controller. Recovery has to be automatic.
Legacy alongside new
Factories run equipment from several decades at once, on networks never designed to be exposed.
Constrained controllers
Motor and vision controllers have little silicon to spare, but still need verifiable identity.
Where Trusted Computing Makes a Difference
SCADA Integrity
Constrained Controllers
Start-Up Verification
Production Continuity
Spare Parts Verification
Operational Technology Convergence
SCADA Integrity
Guarantee that supervisory control and data acquisition systems execute only signed firmware.
Constrained Controllers
Provide isolation and identity in resource-limited motor controllers and vision-processing modules.
Start-Up Verification
Measure firmware hashes at start-up to flag unauthorized changes in robot arms and conveyor controllers.
Production Continuity
Automate firmware rollback on compromised PLCs to prevent unplanned production halts.
Spare Parts Verification
Verify spare parts and field tools before they connect, preventing malicious device injection.
Operational Technology Convergence
Extend a consistent trust model across IT and OT systems on the factory floor.
The trusted computing stack behind Manufacturing & Industrial Control
Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
TPMs secure supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems by guaranteeing only signed firmware executes.
Device Identifier Composition Engine (DICE)
DICE provides essential isolation in resource-constrained motor controllers or vision-processing modules.
Cyber Resilient Technologies (CyRes)
CyRes scripts automate firmware rollback on compromised PLCs, preventing production halts.
Platform Certificates
Platform certificates verify spare parts or field-tool connectivity, preventing malicious device injection into the factory network.
Reference Integrity Manifest (RIM)
FIM/RIM measures firmware hashes at start-up, flagging unauthorized changes in robot arms or conveyor-belt controllers.
The Work Groups shaping manufacturing standards
Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
Owns the TPM architecture behind signed firmware execution on control systems.
Device Identifier Composition Engine (DICE)
Develops the lightweight Root of Trust used in constrained motor and vision controllers.
Cyber Resilient Technologies (CyRes)
Defines the rollback and recovery requirements behind production continuity.
Internet of Things (IoT)
Applies TCG technologies to industrial IoT sensors and connected equipment.
Infrastructure
Provides the credential framework behind spare part and field tool verification.
Attestation
Aligns the attestation models used to verify equipment state across the plant.
