Abstract

Abstract: Water management as a part of critical infrastructure is undergoing transformation alongside the
advancement of digitalization. Future water management systems will incorporate both edge and cloud services.
Increased connectivity of systems and the use of remote management together with growing heterogeneity and
complexity of systems will bring new demands and challenges for security systems. In order to address these
future security challenges, we study the zero trust approach and its possible realization with a physical unclonable
function facility. Especially in our focus are resource-constrained devices like sensors in the field and their safety.
