Abstract
Providing an objective measure of trust in data provided by an Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) device utilizes an objective trust indicator generated based at least in part on baseline device characteristics and corresponding monitored/observed device characteristics. These device characteristics may comprise device hardware characteristics, device software characteristics, application software characteristics (of software installed on the device), and/or device behavior characteristics. The trust indicator is determined by comparing a match vector indicative of weighted scores for the baseline device characteristics relative to a generated monitored characteristics vector indicative of differences between baseline and monitored device characteristics, and determining a directional difference between the match vector and the monitored characteristics vector.
