RTI Connext DDS Secure – Secure Messaging for Intelligent Machines

Connext DDS Secure offers high performance, scalability and availability by operating without centralised servers. It is the connectivity framework used to design robust, reliable systems that safeguard without sacrificing real-time performance.

Intelligent systems must perform reliably to meet the added processing requirements posed by security functions such as encrypting and signing data. By taking a data-centric approach, Connext DDS Secure ensures that security overheads do not reduce performance. It achieves optimised security and performance by authenticating and encrypting only sensitive data.

Optimised for autonomous and embedded systems, Connext DDS Secure provides a robust, flexible set of security capabilities to protect and defend systems.

Fine-grained security offers flexibility of protecting different parts of the RTPS message.

Choose between non-secured, signed and encrypted topics to meet your performance needs. Not only can select topics be protected, but they can be protected at varying levels of granularity to provide further optimisation. Fine-grained security allows architects to:

• Sign/encrypt the entire RTPS message.
• Sign/encrypt selected RTPS sub messages.
• Sign/encrypt the serialised user data.

Connext DDS Secure complies with the Data Distribution Service Security specification from the Object Management Group. This provides interoperability with other compliant DDS implementation, as well as portability of custom plugins.

Connext DDS Secure defends against unauthorised access, tampering and replay by providing authentication, authorisation, confidentiality and integrity.
