Publication number: 20240007478Abstract: Operator actions and/or other commands or requests are secured via an authentication path from an action originator to a communications/control module or any other industrial element/controller. In implementations, an industrial control system includes an action authenticator configured to sign an action request generated by the action originator. The destination communications/control module or any other industrial element/controller is configured to receive the signed action request, verify the authenticity of the signed action request, and perform a requested action when the authenticity of the signed action request is verified.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 19, 2023Publication date: January 4, 2024Inventors: Samuel Galpin, Timothy Clish, James G. Calvin, Albert Rooyakkers

Publication number: 20230096440Abstract: A secure industrial control system is disclosed herein. The industrial control system includes a plurality of industrial elements (e.g., modules, cables) which are provisioned during manufacture with their own unique security credentials. A key management entity of the secure industrial control system monitors and manages the security credentials of the industrial elements starting from the time they are manufactured up to and during their implementation within the industrial control system for promoting security of the industrial control system. An authentication process, based upon the security credentials, for authenticating the industrial elements being implemented in the industrial control system is performed for promoting security of the industrial control system. In one or more implementations, all industrial elements of the secure industrial control system are provisioned with the security credentials for providing security at multiple (e.g., all) levels of the system.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2022Publication date: March 30, 2023Inventors: Albert Rooyakkers, James G. Calvin, Samuel Galpin, Timothy Clish
