The Dos and Don'ts of Industrial Network Simulation: A Field Report

Simon Duque Anton, Daniel Fraunholz, Dennis Krummacker et al.

Advances in industrial control lead to increasing incorporation of intercommunication technologies and embedded devices into the production environment. In addition to that, the rising complexity of automation tasks creates demand for extensive solutions. Standardised protocols and commercial off the shelf devices aid in providing these solutions. Still, setting up industrial communication networks is a tedious and high effort task. This justifies the need for simulation environments in the industrial context, as they provide cost-, resource- and time-efficient evaluation of solution approaches. In this work, industrial use cases are identified and the according requirements are derived. Furthermore, available simulation and emulation tools are analysed. They are mapped onto the requirements of industrial applications, so that an expressive assignment of solutions to application domains is given.

Supervised Learning for Physical Layer based Message Authentication in URLLC scenarios

Andreas Weinand, Raja Sattiraju, Michael Karrenbauer et al.

PHYSEC based message authentication can, as an alternative to conventional security schemes, be applied within \gls{urllc} scenarios in order to meet the requirement of secure user data transmissions in the sense of authenticity and integrity. In this work, we investigate the performance of supervised learning classifiers for discriminating legitimate transmitters from illegimate ones in such scenarios. We further present our methodology of data collection using \gls{sdr} platforms and the data processing pipeline including e.g. necessary preprocessing steps. Finally, the performance of the considered supervised learning schemes under different side conditions is presented.
