OWRGD System Security
The OWRGD is a component of Itron's OpenWay Riva system. The OpenWay Riva system
enhanced security, provided by Itron Security Manager (ISM), applies to the RF communications
between the network or handheld and the OWRGD. There are two fundamental security
processes used in the Itron Security Manager to ensure system communication confidentiality
and validity.
■
Authentication. Authentication is the process of confirming that an artifact is genuine or
valid. Authentication in the OWRGD is the process of verifying a request is from a valid
source and in its original form.
■
Encryption. Encryption is the process of transforming information to make it unreadable to
anyone who does not have a valid security key. There are two types of encryption, symmetric
and asymmetric. Symmetric encryption uses a shared key to decrypt or encrypt information.
Asymmetric encryption uses a private key to encrypt and a public key to decrypt. Data
transmissions over the network are protected using AES-256 encryption.
Transmission Mode
The OWRGD operates in OpenWay Riva Network Mode and is optimized for RF interrogations
3 times a day to support a 20-year battery life.
An FCC license is not required to communicate with the OWRGD.
Operational States
The OWRGD features three normal operational states.
■
Closed. The remote disconnect valve is closed with no gas flowing.
■
Armed. The remote disconnect valve receives a command to open. (Gas will not flow until
the valve is manually opened on-site.)
■
Open. The OWRGD valve is open allowing gas to flow.
