Abstract

Although there are many legal, technical and organizational protective measures the damage caused by counterfeiting has been continuously growing. Industry 4.0 will make the situation even worse: the horizontal integration of inter-corporation value network and the vertical integration of factory inside give new starting points for know-how theft. Unfortunately the necessary protective measures such as a globally accepted trust infrastructure that will permit (legally, technically and trustworthy) consistent verification and authentication methods will only be available in years. A possible way for OEMs to protect their products may be on the expansion of their products to smart products. Part of this work will also be published at ISSE 2015 [6].
