Abstract
For secure configuration of network nodes from a backend with low connectivity requirements and workload at the backend and reduced communication overhead, a system, a control unit for a segment controller and a method for secure protocol execution in a network are provided, wherein protocol information is provided to a segment controller (60) for controlling a node (10) and a protocol is performed based on the protocol information to control the node (10), at least one response message of the node (10) being required at the segment controller (60) for performing one or more steps of the protocol.
