Secure control with the new JUNG KNX IP interface and router

The KNX standard means a plus in security. To effectively safeguard the infrastructure against hacker attacks, in a professional installation, measures should be taken at the hardware and software levels. The basis of every security concept is the isolation of the system against unauthorised access.

Every room is implemented as an individual “KNX island”. Using the JUNG KNX IP interface, these are connected via a fast IP backbone to the central visualisation. In this way, every room can be operated centrally and its status displayed.

With KNX Secure, KNX installations achieve a great access protection. KNX IP Secure and Data Secure represent protected data transmission in KNX systems. KNX Data Secure means that selected KNX telegrams are authenticated and encrypted, independently of the medium. In this way, the communication between sensor and actuator cannot be interpreted or manipulated. In addition, KNX IP Secure encrypts the data communication in the network and in this way ensures secure transmission of all KNX telegrams. The communication to visualisations is also made save by this.

The new JUNG KNX IP interface and IP router will be launched in November 2018 and will be available at My KNX Store.
