Abstract
The present disclosure generally relates to an interface system and method of interfacing to generate data compatible with an external system in an oil and gas asset supply chain, and in particular to an interface and interface method for generating secure and verifiable data to prevent tampering, injection of unwanted data resulting from an unauthorized access along a supply chain. An interface generates and transforms data in an oil and gas supply chain for compatibility with external systems. Collected data is captured by an industrial control system sensor or data collector, which is transferred in a secure intermediary hardware platform to interface with a software component. The collected data is then modified using a business rules engine to create enhanced data and events created from the enhanced data.
