Title: Methods and apparatus to control communications of endpoints in an industrial enterprise system based on integrity
Inventor: ROBERT A MIXER
IPC: G06F21/50
Filed: 2016-06-06
Abstract: The integrity measurement is generated by an endpoint, for example in a network of an industrial enterprise system based on a state of the endpoint, such as time since installation or based on cryptographic checksums. The reference value corresponds to a trusted state of the endpoint, and therefore whether the field devices such as sensors, valves in a process control system should generate an alarm, flag data as suspect, or enable access to a redundant endpoint workstation, server input/output device. The example apparatus also includes an authorization controller to enable communications access for the endpoint on the network based on the comparison of the integrity measurement to the reference value, which may be determined at boot up time or at runtime. The endpoints may be subordinate to a supervisory control system. Communications between endpoints implies an implicit trust between them that there has not been a security breach through tampering at a particular endpoint, and may be based on manufacturer assurance of product quality, whether the device is operating as expected or whether its reliability has been compromised.
