Abstract
This work investigates possible methods of adding security features to building automation networks in the form of intrusion or tamper detection by using the physical layer. This is a concept that is widely known in the field of wireless communications but is—as of now—less prevalent in wired environments. We propose three distinct and complementary methods which rely on electrical fingerprinting of devices and the communication medium, as well as active radio-frequency probing of the network. To assess their effectiveness, we conduct a series of experiments in a building automation system test environment.
