Patent number: 8971537Abstract: The client requests from the authentication and authorization server a capability for accessing the target server. The authentication and authorization server sends client a capability (capC,S) comprising the public key (pubC) of the client, said capability being signed with a private key (privAA) of the authentication and authorization server. The client sends the capability (capC,S) to the target server. If the capability is valid, the target server grants the client access and a data exchange session can be initiated. The disclosed protocol is scalable, as it does not require individual configuration of each target server device, allows revocation of user access within reasonable time, stores no compromisable secret data on any target server device, enables individual access permission per user, and accountability of each user.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2008Date of Patent: March 3, 2015Assignee: ABB Research LtdInventor: Martin Naedele

Patent number: 8314694Abstract: The present invention is concerned with an alarm system and a method for suppressing redundant alarms in a monitored system. The alarm system comprises a process control unit, an FDI unit, a filter, and an alarm display unit. The process control unit detects anomalies in the monitored system and generates alarms corresponding to them. The FDI unit diagnoses failures in the monitored system and generates a failure-cause-effect graph comprising a list of generated alarms, along with the alarms corresponding to the causes and effects of each listed alarm. The FDI unit dynamically updates the failure-cause-effect graph concurrently with the generation of alarms by the process control unit and the diagnosis of failures by the FDI unit. The filter receives the generated alarms and identifies redundant and not-yet-classified alarms from the received alarms, by using the failure-cause-effect graph.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2004Date of Patent: November 20, 2012Assignee: ABB Research LtdInventors: Martin Naedele, Christian Frei, Patrick Sager, Alexander Fay

Publication number: 20110137878Abstract: An entity to be validated for consistency is loaded into the buffer of the consistency service, a signal to verify the existence of a specific data set of an IT system is then sent by the consistency service to the IT system holding the entity to be validated for consistency, and the consistency validating information is stored in the output means, said consistency validating information depending on the signal being sent back to the consistency service. The consistency of data stored in various IT systems is checked prior to attempting to access it. Errors by calling a service or functionality that would require access to data that is not available or that is inconsistent can therefore be avoided.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 17, 2004Publication date: June 9, 2011Applicant: ABB Research Ltd.Inventors: Thomas Werner, Philip Meier, Claus Vetter, Martin Naedele

Publication number: 20070094724Abstract: The inventive IT Security System for intrusion detection in a private network, which is connected to a public network, comprises a processing system, a supervisory system and an interface system. The processing system detects intrusion or unwanted access of resources on a private network and alerts in case of a detected intrusion or unwanted access of resources by creating quantitive alert data. The supervisory system automatically processes the alerts or presents the alerts to a security system operator. The interface system transfer the alerts from the processing system to the supervisory system. Available data about network activity can thus be presented to the operator in an intuitive and non-technical manner. If the operator suspects the security of the network to be compromised he can safely isolate the private network from the outside world, as simple reaction to any threat endangering the private network environment.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 13, 2004Publication date: April 26, 2007Applicant: Abb Research Ltd.Inventor: Martin Naedele
