    摘要: Systems and methods are provided for issuing unique identification credentials to a plurality of devices, and their constituent components, in an industrial control system. Identification credentials are granted by an identification authority and conveyed to each of the credentialed devices and/or component through an identity token. The identification credentials include (1) a unique device identifier, (2) an identification authority component identifier, and (3) an indication of the location of the identification authority component. To secure the issued credentials, such credentials are encrypted and the identification token can be embedded with biometrics features. Identification credentials provide for the following prominent features: (i) Secure access to a device form a client and (ii) determination a topology of a set of credentialed devices in an industrial control system. The topology is network agnostic and facilitates organizational modeling of processes in the industrial control system.

    摘要: A control system capable of detecting an anomaly in a controlled distribution network, and related method of detecting an anomaly, are disclosed. The control system includes a plurality of autonomous control units associated with elements of a distribution network, which include at least one producer and at least one consumer interconnected by distribution lines and at least one switch. The control units execute a program, are in communication with each other, and are capable of sensing respective parameters of the elements with which they are associated. At least one of the control units is capable of determining an occurrence of an anomaly within the network by comparing sensed parameter values or values based thereupon with one or more thresholds or range limits, and at least one of the control units is capable of identifying a cause of the anomaly by switching the at least one switch and observing the parameters.
