Security in Industrial Ethernet

چکیده
Ethernet has become increasingly popular in automation, due to its easy integration with other networks but also for its low costs and commercial availability. Characteristics like real-time capabilities required in automation have also been added and now form Industrial Ethernet allowing its deployment in application areas formerly reserved for dedicated fieldbus systems. Due to the vertical integration of office and automation level and the transparency for common Internet protocols security is a major issue although it seems that this fact again has not adequately taken into account in the context of specification of Industrial Ethernet. This article give an overview of security measures and how to protect systems build upon Industrial Ethernet.
