Secure OPC-UA

We carry out research and development projects on the secure use of OPC-UA in industrial environments. We also analyze the security properties of OPC-UA integrations in existing or planned systems and plants. We conduct research into secure trust infrastructures in industrial networks and make our findings and experience available.

Our offer includes the following services:

Planning and concept development

We plan deployment scenarios for OPC-UA environments and work with our partners and customers to develop concepts for setting up and operating secure communication networks.

Security analyses

We analyze new and existing OPC-UA environments for their security properties. In doing so, we not only incorporate the latest scientific findings, but also carry out targeted technical tests to evaluate the security of the environments.

Concepts and implementation of secure OPC-UA

We carry out development work based on OPC-UA in order to implement use cases for secure industrial networks. We also create suitable concepts for certificate management and the use of public key infrastructures (PKI).

Certificate management using the GDS

We develop and promote the implementation of certificate management in OPC-UA using the open62541 stack and our own GDS-implementation.
