Abstract: The system and method in accordance with the present disclosure include an edge gateway to separate insecure protocols from the cloud and to securely transmit data to the cloud over a physical medium. Embodiments also include a virtual gateway that executes in a secure environment, and an adapter that enables a developer to have an endpoint to push data into an already segmented data area provided by the virtual gateway. The system and method allow a developer to publish data virtually to a data aggregator from a developer machine, or to publish data from a first gateway to a second virtual gateway to a data aggregator.

Abstract: An Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) edge device includes a memory configured to store first executable code. The IIoT edge device also includes a processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute the first executable code to implement a hypervisor in the IIOT edge device in place of an Operating System (OS) image, virtualize the memory of the IIOT edge device to generate a virtualized memory, and virtualize the processor of the IIoT edge device to generate a virtualized processor. The virtualized processor is configured to execute second executable code to implement a communication protocol in the IIoT edge device to agnostically communicate with an IoT cloud.

Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems are provided for user authentication on a gateway device to perform steps of, receiving a user request communicated via a local area network (LAN) from a user system or device connected to the LAN, checking whether the gateway device is operating in a disconnected operational mode in response to the user request, selectively initiating a user authentication protocol when the gateway device is operating in the disconnected operational mode, wherein the user authentication protocol uses secret information stored in a user hardware token uniquely assigned to a particular user, authenticating the administrator user using the user authentication protocol that requires administrator secret information stored in a master hardware token connected to a system or device operated by the administrator user, and selectively authenticating the particular user based at least in part on results of the user authentication protocol.

Abstract: A system can include a machine learning model training framework that generates trained machine learning models; a metadata configurer that generates metadata for trained machine learning model implementation; and a deployment manager that deploys trained machine learning models, metadata or trained machine learning models and metadata to remote devices according to one or more implementation strategies.

Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems are provided for user authentication on a gateway device located at an industrial site or facility employing user hardware tokens. The method comprises: i) at the gateway device, receiving a user request communicated via a local area network (LAN) from a user system or device connected to the LAN; ii) at the gateway device, checking whether the gateway device is operating in a disconnected operational mode in response to the user request of i); iii) at the gateway device, selectively initiating a user authentication protocol when the gateway device is operating in the disconnected operational mode, wherein the user authentication protocol uses secret information stored in a user hardware token uniquely assigned to a particular user; and iv) at the gateway device, selectively authenticating the particular user based at least in part on results of the user authentication protocol of iii).

Abstract: A method of commissioning and provisioning an Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT) gateway that includes sending gateway information to a bootstrapping system and generating a commissioning token using the bootstrapping system. The method also includes storing the commissioning token in the bootstrapping system and associating it with a backend system. The method further includes inputting the commissioning token into the IIOT gateway and communicating the IIOT gateway to the bootstrapping system.
