    摘要: Access control to embedded devices of an industrial control system wherein the embedded devices are grouped in security domains. When an access request is received, a security domain permission attribute associated with the access request and a security domain assignment attribute associated with the embedded device are retrieved. Access to the embedded device is denied, when the security domain permission attribute does not match with the security domain assignment attribute.

    摘要: The present invention is concerned with securing messages 4 within a communication network of an industrial process control system, in particular of a substation automation system. The invention provides secure communication in an Industrial Automation and Control System IACS controlling an industrial process with a plurality of nodes 1, 2, 3, i.e. communicating devices. For this purpose, a sender node 1 has a sender private key and receiver nodes have a sender public key. In an initial step a message 4 is encrypted by means of the sender private key. Subsequently, the encrypted message 4 is transmitted, i.e. multicasted, to a plurality of receiver nodes 2, 3. Two or more distinct receiver nodes 2, 3 decrypt the transmitted encrypted message 4 by means of the sender public key where successful encryption authenticates the messages 4 origin, i.e. the sender node 1. This way the multicasted message 4 is transmitted confidential and traceable with a low overhead for transmission.

    摘要: The present invention is concerned with security zoning or clustering, i.e. the task of defining a set of non-overlapping security zones and assigning each node or resource of an Industrial Automation and Control System (IACS) to exactly one zone. The invention is based on deterministic, engineered information about network nodes of the IACS as retrieved from an IACS system description file or equivalent representation of the system configuration. The invention suggests an automated, structured and repeatable approach for segmenting the network of an IACS to better provide cyber security functionalities in an IACS installation, to decrease the risk for unintentional errors and to provide traceable documentation on the network segregation. The invention allows for more thorough zoning than that performed manually by engineers, especially when dealing with complex network topologies, and reduces the time that engineers need to spend in designing an optimal solution that meets all the security zoning requirements and rules.
