Do you fear agents in your factory?
You can't trust anybody these days...
Kidding, thank you for your answer.
The Robot I'm working on is not in an Industrial environment; it's used in academia.
That's why I was trying to dig a bit deeper into the security side.
But it seem that there not much to dig deeper into.
To my knowledge, not right out of the gate no. You would have to implement your own implementation of it. In karel to boot. Yuck.
But I am not sure if this is needed. Industrial networks should be airgapped from the internet.
I'm working on an Educational kit from FANUC, so the robot is not used in an industrial environment.
The computer that has the client socket is connected to Internet.
Anyhow, I thought that it's better to be safe than sorry. That's why I was interested in finding ways of securing the channel and if there is anything built-in. But it seems that there aren't any.
Thank you for your answer.
Hi all,
I would like to first mention that I am new to the FANUC world.
My question would be related to the security side of socket communication.
I've managed to setup a TCP server socket on the robot in ROBOGUIDE and a TCP client socket on my desktop (in node.js and .NET).
The communication is successful between the 2 sockets.
However, the messages are sent in plain text through the network.
Are there any built-in funtionalities of securing this pipeline (SSL maybe)? If not, do you have any suggestions on how to obtain this?
Thank you.
