Abstract
A networked computer system providing an automated control system that enables a sensor client to securely communicate with a heterogeneous set of unique sensors. The system enables autonomous secure identification of specific sensors capable of system inter-operation. Recognized sensors are autonomously paired and the connection secured using a password unique to the sensor and autonomously managed by the system. Measurement data is source encrypted using a well-defined public key, thereby providing data security that extends uninterrupted from the sensor itself to an appropriately authorized subsystem of the control system.
