Cross-ministerial Strategic Innovation Promotion Program (SIP) Second Phase: Cyber-Physical Security for IoT Society

This program is being promoted in collaboration with the Japanese Cabinet Office, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, and NISC. This page provides information on research and development activities, events, and calls for proposals being carried out by NEDO regarding the program.

IoT is a fundamental technology of Society 5.0. IoT devices embedded in physical spaces, such as social infrastructure, industrial systems, and natural environments, create added values and services and bring significant benefits to the economy and society. IoT creates these benefits and values for society by connecting physical spaces to cyberspace through the Cloud via various networks, and it works in collaboration with advanced knowledge processing (represented by AI) and performs analytical processing of big data.

On the other hand, the scope of the targets of cyberattacks is rapidly expanding, and attack techniques are becoming more advanced. The threat of cyberattacks can be found in all industrial activities, not only in cyberspace but also in physical spaces.

With the spread and expansion of IoT, supply chain risks of illicit programs being added to products and services have manifested, as have risks of modifications to products and services during the manufacturing and transport process. This program aims to enhance an IoT society’s security by establishing a cyber-physical security countermeasure infrastructure that protects entire large-scale supply chains, including small and medium-sized businesses and IoT systems and services. Incorporated into operating supply chains in a practical manner, this infrastructure protects and strengthens an IoT-based society against cyber threats.

Research and development activities

(A) Research and development of technologies for creating/verifying trust

The security of individual IoT devices and services needs to be improved. Research and development activities will be carried out on technology for creating and confirming trustworthiness to ensure the security of various IoT systems and services and an entire supply chain.

(B) Research and development of technologies for constructing and circulating a trustworthy chain

Research and development activities will be carried out on technology to construct a trustworthy chain for IoT systems, services, and supply chains. It will enable information to be distributed in a secure manner and ensure that security is maintained in various social infrastructures and services as well as wide-ranging supply chains.

(C) Research and development of technologies for verifying and maintaining a trustworthy chain

Research and development will be conducted on technologies that make it possible to verify and maintain the safe operation of a trustworthy chain in IoT systems and services and supply chains.
