What are the key challenges in implementing mutual authentication in IIoT?

One key challenge in implementing mutual authentication in Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is establishing a secure and scalable identity management infrastructure. This involves securely storing and managing digital certificates, keys, and credentials for both devices and users. Another challenge is ensuring interoperability and compatibility between different devices, protocols, and platforms, which can complicate the implementation of mutual authentication. Additionally, the complexity of IIoT environments with diverse devices, communication channels, and potential security vulnerabilities presents a challenge in effectively implementing mutual authentication to protect against unauthorized access and data breaches.
