Abstract :
Due to the use of standardized information technology from the office world in industrial automation networks, threats concerning such networks become relevant for automation systems. Communication protocols used in automation networks typically provide no security functionalities. In this paper, a public key infrastructure (PKI) for automation networks is proposed that supports the establishment of secured connections between automation components and also supports protective measures against product piracy.
