Towards Model-Based Continuous Deployment of Secure IoT Systems.

Software development and delivery of IoT systems would greatly benefit from DevOps as their requirements for reliability, quality, security and privacy are paramount. The ability to continuously evolve these systems to adapt to their environment is decisive to ensure and increase their trustworthiness (including security and privacy) and quality. In particular, there is a need for supporting the continuous deployment of secure IoT systems over IoT, Edge, and Cloud infrastructures. However, our recent survey shows a lack of specific support for deploying security and privacy mechanisms as part of the system. This position paper reports on an on-going extension of the modelling language and models@runtime implementation of the Generation and Deployment of Smart IoT Systems (GeneSIS) tool for supporting continuous deployment of IoT security and privacy mechanisms on the Edge. In particular, we present our early design of the extended version of GeneSIS with the new concepts of port, security capability, and privacy capability.
