8.0 Security
Since WaveNet gathers and records critical data, it has to be reliably protected
against unauthorised access. This places the highest demands on the system with
regard to information and manipulation security.
8.1 Secure communication between the WaveNet network nodes
Network communication is protected against tapping and data-monitoring by means
of elaborate cryptography.
8.2 Automatic testing of individual system components
Since individual components may be installed across large areas of a building,
functional disturbances, manipulations and break-ins must be automatically detected
and reported to the controlling computer.
Important: if a door is to be fitted with a break-in alarm function, then it must be
equipped with at least one door contact which can recognise if the door is open or
closed.
All of the nodes can report to the controlling computer at configurable intervals of
time. These intervals may be variable during particular periods – if, for example,
critical doors need to be monitored more frequently at night.
8.3 Alarms
Alarms are messages which require an immediate response (e.g. break-in, fire). If the
same type of alarm is sent repeatedly, it is only reported once in order to retain a
better overview and not to burden the central alarm office unnecessarily.
