Abstract
Systems, methods, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for facilitating communication in an industrial control network. A system includes an industrial control network, one or more controller devices, one or more emulators, and an encryption relay processor. Each controller device can be operable to control one or more operational devices connected to the industrial control network. Each emulator can be configured to communicate with a respective controller device, and each emulator can be configured to reference a respective profile that includes information about security capabilities of the respective controller device. The encryption relay processor can be operable to facilitate communication to and from each emulator over the industrial control network. The encryption relay processor can execute a cryptographic function for a communication between the emulator and a node on the industrial control network when the respective controller device is incapable of performing the cryptographic function.
