摘要：Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems have their own constrains andspecifications. These systems control many of our critical industrial infrastructures, yet they arehardly secured. The biggest problem in securing these systems is the lack of cryptographysupport especially that most SCADA systems work in real-time which is not compatible withmost cryptography algorithms. Additionally, a SCADA network may include a huge amount ofembedded devices with little computational powers which adds to the cost of any securityimprovement. In this paper we present a new approach that would secure SCADAcommunications by coding information without the need of the complex cryptographyalgorithms. The reconfigurable information transmitter agent (RITA) protocol that we presentdoes not need the already installed devices to be modified nor replaced, it only needs to addcostless electrical chips to these devices. This approach can also be used to secure any type ofcommunication that respects the protocol's constraints.
