Abstract

This work investigates possible methods of adding security features to building automation networks in the form of intrusion or tamper detection by using the physical layer. This is a concept that is widely known in the field of wireless communications but is—as of now—less prevalent in wired environments. We propose three distinct and comple- mentary methods which rely on electrical fingerprinting of devices and the communication medium, as well as active radio-frequency probing of the network. To assess their effectiveness, we conduct a series of experiments in a building automation system test environment.
