SSC600 Cyber Security Deployment Guideline

  • External Certificate:

    By default, SSC600 supports self-signed certificate-based communication security feature. For enhanced security it also supports certificate signed by a trusted certificate authority. External certificate update supports manual import of third-party trusted certificates.

  • Methodology:

    SSC600 can use any certificate in .p12 format. Certificates are taken in use with SSC600. Detailed information about writing the certificates to SSC600 is documented in "PCM600 User Guide".


    Note: Initially SSC600 device works with a self-signed certificate. Once it receives trusted certificate, it authorizes the device with the external certificate.
     
  • Certificate Extraction:

    Certificate bundle (.p12) imported to SSC600 and Certificates are Extracted and then uploaded to SSC600.

  • Certificate update can be verified on WHMI of the device, by clicking the lock icon on the left side of the address bar (though there are small differences between browsers).
