Abstract: The invention relates to a method and system for detecting and mitigating cabling issues with devices connected in industrial redundant networks. An agent runs on each device and generates information about traffic received at the corresponding device. The agent running on a node generates indicators of traffic received at each port, and error rates for traffic at each port. The agent running on a switch generates information about switch misconfiguration by collecting device identifiers for each port of the switch. The agents send the information to a network manager, which determines switch misconfigurations and wrong cabling from the received information. The network manager also mitigates cabling issues by sending a signal to the affected device(s) or sending a communication to mitigate the issue.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for message authentication, in particular in case of low of transmission or storage capacities. The present invention further provides corresponding devices for generating or sending authenticated messages and for receiving or retrieving authenticated messages as well as a system comprising such devices. In an embodiment, the method may comprise (a) preparing a data block having an uncompressed length; (b) compressing the data block so that the data block has a compressed length smaller than the uncompressed length; (c) determining an available length from at least the compressed length and a maximum length of a data frame; (d) calculating a message authentication code, MAC, from at least the data block, having a MAC length not greater than the available length; and (e) creating the data frame, comprising the data block and the MAC.

Abstract: A method 100 for automatically providing a time signal to containers in an operating system level virtualization or to virtual machines, the method comprising:
- creating 102 a pool of clocks;
- executing 104 one or more containers in an operating system level virtualization or one or more virtual machines running on an executing hardware device;
- allocating 106 one or more clocks of the pool of clocks to client containers in the one or more containers or to client virtual machines of the one or more virtual machines, thereby obtaining allocated clocks allocated to the client containers or the client virtual machines;
wherein each of the allocated clocks provides a time signal in a time domain to at least one of the client containers or to at least one of the client virtual machines.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method of transmitting time-critical messages in an OSI layer 2 network tunnel from an IED in a first substation to an IED in a second substation over a WAN, wherein each of the first and second substation comprises an edge IED and is associated with a substation LAN, wherein each of the time-critical messages comprises message parameters. The method comprises the steps of: a) creating a translation table comprising corresponding values of the message parameters, between the LANs and the WAN, b) defining a virtual IED model in the second substation using the translated values of the message parameters, to impersonate the IED of the first substation, c) translating the message parameters according to the translation table, d) forwarding the time-critical messages from the IED in the first substation to the WAN, and e) receiving the time-critical messages by the IED of the second substation from the WAN.
