Many industrial sensor networks use real-t … Many industrial sensor networks use real-time data transmission over public networks (GPRS, the Internet, satellites) or private radio links or cables. These links are in principle possible to listen in to or monitor. With increasing awareness of security risks for information theft or distortion in sensor systems it is suspected that customers buying sensor network services will in the near future demand security as well as reliability.
Embedded systems often have limitations regarding data processing and internal memory. In addition there are typically limitations in data rates of the transmission medium.
The thesis will investigate what demands to security exists (if any) from governmental organs (Norwegian, European, globally) and what typical demands central actors in Norwegian industries demand. Coming trends for the future will also be evaluated. In addition the thesis will evaluate different possibilities for implementing security on already existing embedded sensor systems. This thesis will in the end be able to answer what might be necessary functionality to secure data information for data loggers that deliver sensor data to customers using open communication channels.stomers using open communication channels. +
