What are mutual authentication schemes for IIoT?

Mutual authentication schemes for Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) involve both the device and the network verifying each other's identities before establishing a connection. This ensures that only legitimate devices can access the network and that the network can only communicate with trusted devices. Mutual authentication schemes typically involve the use of digital certificates, biometric authentication, or two-factor authentication methods to establish trust between the device and the network. These schemes play a crucial role in securing IIoT environments and preventing unauthorized access or tampering with sensitive industrial systems and data.
