Abstract: A control network system connected with a node having a unique identifier includes a KDC4B for distributing a first key to the node for cryptographic communication, a PS4B for supplying a function name and a second key corresponding to the unique identifier to the node by the cryptographic communication using the first key, and a PS for supplying the node with setting information used for the cryptographic communication using the second key in response to a request using the function name.

Abstract: Disclosed is a network system including: a provisioning server to provide setting information to a device newly connected to a network; and a mediating device to mediate information transmission between the device newly connected to the network and other device, wherein the mediating device includes: a communication function to communicate with the device newly connected to the network; an access control function to restrict access to the other device to a certain amount or less; and a data transfer function to transfer data, and when there is a transfer request of the setting information from the device newly connected to the network, the mediating device sends the transfer request to the provisioning server by restricted access based on the access control function, and when the setting information is sent from the provisioning server, the mediating device transfers the setting information to the device newly connected to the network.

Abstract: A control system includes: a plurality of field equipments that are connected mutually to an IP network; a key management server that is connected mutually to the IP network and issues key information for authentication of the plurality of field equipments and security communication; and an attribute server having a GCKS server function, which is connected mutually to the IP network, and manages or provides attribute information for mutual authentication between the field equipments, and contains preset group information for multicast communication in a particular multicast group, wherein each of the field equipments is operable to: make authentication of the key management server; acquire information of the attribute server existing on the IP network; register information of each of the field equipments itself in the attribute server; acquire startup information from the attribute server; receive a notification of the group information from the attribute server; participate in a particular multicast group us

Abstract: Property information of a communication device is initialized in a second server when the communication device is connected to a control network to which a first server for storing key information and a second server for storing property information are connected. Key information necessary for security communication with respect to the second server is acquired from the first server and property information containing at least an identifier and network address of the communication device is transmitted to the second server via security communication using the key information.
