Abstract

Real-time data transmission and associated security of technical devices in industrial environments is an important key technology due to the rapid development of distributed systems. Especially, security and protection of process-related information on lightweight networked devices is very important, but also a major challenge because of the limited hardware resources of such devices. Encryption techniques by using traditional cryptographic approaches require a large number of computations, which are often not suitable for small devices and makes the implementation infeasible or inefficient. To address this issue, Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs) may be used as a lightweight, fast, and low-cost security component on ASICS or FPGAs. In this paper, investigations for a further research project in the field of secure real-time transmission of data with Time-Sensitive Networking and PUFs are presented. For this, the components, possibilities, and security analysis of PUFs and TSN are introduced and an overview of the hardware architecture used within the research project is presented.
