Description

Secure PVAccess (SPVA) enhances the existing PVAccess protocol by integrating Transport Layer Security (TLS) with comprehensive Certificate Management, enabling encrypted communication channels and authenticated connections between EPICS clients and servers (EPICS agents).

This Project, funded by the the Department of Energy and Awarded to Stanford National Accelerator Laboratory, has been running for over a year and we are in the process of testing it in a number of Laboratories (SLAC, ISIS, FNAL, ORNL), integrating with their authentication systems including Kerberos and LDAP, to provide a robust integration with EPICS Security (ACF) for PV access control.

Here's an update of the state of the project, software availability, and a call for adopters especially LDAP and OAuth. Come to the workshops for a deeper dive:

  • Thurs. 11:15 - 12:45: CyberSecurity Developers workshop
  • Fri. 09:30 -12:45: CyberSecurity Administrators
