Abstract

A template for implementing a control system with security features provides a generic control program and device programs for distribution to one or more industrial controllers and associated control devices together with matching security programs for distribution to the control devices, the security programs providing for the generation of security thumbprints indicating the state of the control devices. The template may also be associated with a security-monitoring program that can receive and process the security thumbprints.
