9. Security¶
You can use symmetric cryptography using pre-shared keys to protect the communication between Cloud Discovery Service and the user’s DomainParticipants, as described in Security Considerations when Using Cloud Discovery Service.
More concretely you can protect:
The exchange of participant announcements by setting the property
com.rti.serv.secure.authentication.participant_discovery_protection_key
(see Properties for Configuring Authentication in the Security Plugins User’s Manual).The exchange of
BINDING_PING
messages when using the Real-Time WAN Transport by setting the propertycom.rti.serv.secure.cryptography.rtps_protection_key
(see Properties for Configuring Cryptography in the Security Plugins User’s Manual).
In Cloud Discovery Service, the above two properties can be set by updating the <property>
tag inside the <security>
tag (see Configuration for Security).
