Quantifying DDS-cerberus network control overhead

Abstract Securing distributed device communication is critical because the private industry and military depend on these resources. One area that adversaries target middleware, which medium connects different systems. This paper evaluates a novel security layer, DDS-Cerberus (DDS-C), protects in-transit data improves efficiency data-first distribution research contributes robotics operating system testbed designs multifactorial performance-based experiment to evaluate DDS-C by assessing total packet traffic generated in network. The performance follows 2:1 publisher subscriber node ratio, varying number of subscribers nodes from three eighteen. By categorizing network into either message , or discovery+ with Quality Service (QoS) best effort reliable, mean has minimal impact Data Distribution (DDS) operations compared other traffic. results reveal applying representative does not performance.
