NetLab

ruhrvalley Solution

The overall objective of project NetLab is to develop a networked measurement and test laboratory, based on the electric drivetrain. The project NetLab—Secure Test Facility Network focuses on developing a solid security concept to prevent unauthorized access to data and processes within the networked test laboratory as well as from the outside. Coordination among companies is especially challenging because they potentially compete in other areas and company networks are usually open and not limited to project participants. A communications software for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) must be developed in order to connect other partner companies and expand the network, as well as to integrate other networks. Its purpose is to manage identification, authentication and communications security in a federated identity and access management system (IAM), which enables the merging of various autonomous information sources.
