Usually, when people refer to cyber attacks in the cryptocurrency world, they refer to stolen wallets or exchanges. As the robotics world becomes more interconnected, the cyber attacks will not be limited to the digital world. The attack will be on the physical world.
This is where the problem lies. Currently, the majority of robotics networks function in a closed network. This means that if the server controlling the network is breached, the attacker will be able to manipulate the commands given to the machines. This will be especially challenging for large networks where different companies have different machines. It will be essential to identify the source of the command sent to the machine to know if the command is legitimate.
This is where the Fabric Protocol comes in. The protocol focuses on the creation of verifiable infrastructure for the robotics network. This means that the machines will be able to operate while providing evidence of their actions. The machines will not be required to rely on a single server to function. This means that the actions of the machines will be recorded on a shared ledger.
This becomes possible through the creation of robot identities on the blockchain. Each machine can prove who it is, what actions it performed, and who authorized those actions. In a future where robots operate across companies, cities, and industries, security will depend not only on software but on verifiable trust between machines.
