measurement, cryptography, embedded systems, distributed measurement systems.Abstract
The paper presents the implementation of the symmetric cryptography in the distributed measurement system. Motivation for increasing the security in such systems is presented. Next, fundamentals of cryptography from the measuring systems’ point of view are introduced. The role and structure of embedded systems in modern distributed environments is explained. As the example of presented problems, implementation of the AES algorithm on the Compact RIO module is presented and tested for both efficiency and accuracy. The paper is supplemented with conclusions and future prospects of the approach.References
