Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0048] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", "third", "fourth", etc. in the specification and claims of the present invention are used to distinguish different objects rather than to describe a specific order.

[0049] The embodiment of the present invention discloses a security protection method and system for cascade mutual trust of industrial Ethernet switches, which can simplify the construction process of identification and improve identification efficiency, and is conducive to accurate tuning of the identification method in the later stage.

[0050] Embodiment 1

[0051] like Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, a security protection method for cascading mutual trust of industrial Ethernet switches includes the following steps:

[0052] Step S1: Connect multiple industrial Ethernet switch devices to each other through physical media such as Ethernet cables or optical fibers, and configure the switches to support ring and / or chain logical networking structures as required. At the same time, ensure that these switches establish communication connections with servers so that the servers can manage, control or process data from the industrial Ethernet.

[0053] Step S2: Industrial Ethernet switch devices A, B, C, D, K... automatically generate main device intelligence labels; generation method: the factory code, CPU, motherboard information and other information of the switch device are automatically collected through the device system, and the main device intelligence labels are generated based on the general national secret coding system. For example, the main intelligence label of device A: A-ID-d61 d6b69c7ee, the main intelligence label of device B: B-ID-55b11 dd1 c7b8....

[0054] Step S3: Generate a device load security image. Through ARP and broadcast technology, the industrial Ethernet switch automatically collects the IP address and MAC address of the connected load terminal to establish a device security image. Through the port monitoring mechanism, the status of the device in the practical port is collected. For ports that have not been used for a long time, they are automatically closed, such as supporting the configuration of a 1-minute timeout.

[0055] Step S4: Establish a device security profile and construct a logical security chain model of a ring network or a chain network. The device security profile contains the main device intelligence tag and the load security image, which describes important contents such as the main intelligence tag, device security access, control, and cascade port information. The logical security chain model mainly contains the evidence tag of the trusted data in the security profile. The device security profile contains information such as the identity information, operating status, and load status of the device, providing comprehensive data support for the security management of the device. In specific implementation, according to the topology of the network and the connection relationship between the devices, the trusted data evidence tags in the device security profile are connected to form one or more logical security chains. These security chains can be ring-shaped or chain-shaped, depending on the actual situation of the network and the security management requirements. Regularly verify the logical security chain to ensure that each evidence tag in the chain is authentic and valid. If a certain evidence tag in the chain is found to be tampered with or invalid, take corresponding measures to repair or replace it immediately. At the same time, the logical security chain needs to be regularly updated and maintained to adapt to changes in the network environment and device status. Among them, the attestation tag of trusted data is a special data identifier, which is generated based on the original information of the data and the attestation technology, and is used to prove the authenticity and integrity of the data.

[0056] Step S5: Based on the evidence tag of the trusted data, a mapping logical security chain is formed and managed on the chain. The logical security chain adopts distributed decentralized storage using blockchain technology to ensure the security and immutability of the data;

[0057] Step S6: Through the above steps, a secure and trusted edge device access management system is constructed. Based on this system, a security protection solution for industrial Ethernet switches based on a chain or ring network structure is established.

[0058] In the specific implementation, the collected main device intelligence tags and load security images are integrated to form a preliminary framework for the device security portrait. Through further data processing and analysis, the system can extract the key features of the device, such as the type, performance, and operating status of the device. These features will serve as the basis for the subsequent construction of the logical safety chain model. Based on the results of the above data processing and analysis, the system finally generates a security portrait of the device. This portrait not only contains the basic information and operating status of the device, but also reflects the overall safety and reliability of the device.

[0059] The logical safety chain model consists of multiple nodes, each of which represents an industrial Ethernet switch device. The nodes form a ring or chain network structure through physical connections and logical associations.

[0060] As described above, step S1 of this case ensures that the communication paths between switches are clear and controllable through the configuration of physical connections and logical networking structures, thereby reducing potential security vulnerabilities. Step S2 provides each switch device with a unique identity through the automatically generated master device intelligence tag, which helps to identify and prevent illegal device access. Step S3 can promptly detect and handle the access of illegal devices through the generation and real-time monitoring of device load security images, preventing other illegal devices from accessing the port service terminal that is operating normally after being unplugged. Step S4 provides a unified mutual trust mechanism for ring or chain networks based on the information of device security portraits through the construction of a logical security chain model, solving the problem of no unified mutual trust mechanism between equipment models from multiple manufacturers. Moreover, the use of the evidence label and mapping logical security chain of trusted data in step S5 ensures the security and non-tamperability of the data and enhances the mutual trust between network nodes.

[0061] The construction of a secure and trusted edge device access management system in step S6 can verify the identity and authority of edge devices, prevent access by illegal devices, and improve the stability and security of the network.

[0062] As a preferred implementation, the generation of the master device intelligence tag in step S2 includes the following steps:

[0063] The factory code, CPU, and motherboard information of the switch device are automatically collected through the device system, and the main device intelligence label is generated based on the universal national secret coding system. In this way, by collecting the hardware characteristics of the device such as the factory code, CPU, and motherboard information, and combining them with the universal national secret coding system for encryption processing, it can be ensured that each switch device has a unique main device intelligence label, which helps to accurately identify and track devices in the network and improve the accuracy and efficiency of device management. In addition, encryption technology is used in the generation process of the main device intelligence label, which increases the difficulty for illegal devices to forge or tamper with the label.

[0064] As a preferred implementation, further, in step S3, "generating a device load security image, and using the device load security image to monitor and record the state change of the management port in real time" includes:

[0065] S31: Automatically collect IP address and MAC address information of connected load terminals on the industrial Ethernet switch device through ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) and broadcast technology;

[0066] S32: Based on the collected IP address and MAC address information, a device load security image is generated on the industrial Ethernet switch. The security image is used to record and manage the network identity information of the access device. The device load security image reflects the current operating status and load conditions of the device, which helps to detect abnormal behavior of the device in a timely manner.

[0067] S33: collecting and recording the status information of the device on the practical port in real time through the port monitoring mechanism, wherein the status information at least includes data transmission status and connection status;

[0068] S34: For ports that have not been used for a long time, the port will be automatically closed according to the preset configuration, such as supporting the configuration of a 1-minute timeout shutdown, to save resources and enhance network security.

[0069] As mentioned above, through ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) and broadcast technology, the IP address and MAC address information of the load terminal connected to the industrial Ethernet switch can be automatically and quickly collected without manual intervention, which greatly saves time and labor costs. By automatically collecting the IP address and MAC address information of the access device and generating a device load security image, the legitimacy and security of the access device can be ensured. Through the port monitoring mechanism, the status information of the device on the practical port can be collected and recorded in real time, and abnormal status can be discovered and handled in time. By automatically closing ports that have not been used for a long time, resources are saved and the security of the network is enhanced.

[0070] As a preferred implementation, the information of the device security portrait in step S4 at least includes the main intelligence tag, device security access, control, and cascade port information. In this way, the main intelligence tag of the device is generated based on its factory code, CPU, motherboard information and other hardware features, ensuring that the identity of each device is unique, which helps to quickly identify and track devices in the network and prevent illegal devices from accessing and impersonating. The device security portrait contains the control information of the device, such as the configuration parameters and operating status of the device, which helps network administrators to carry out refined control and management of the device to ensure the normal operation and safety of the device. Through the cascade port information in the device security portrait, the connection relationship and topology of the device in the network can be clearly understood, which helps network administrators to promptly discover and solve potential problems in the network.

[0071] As a preferred implementation, the main contents of the security protection solution package in step S6 are as follows:

[0072] Step S61: When the load device of a port of the industrial Ethernet switch is replaced, the system detects that the MAC address of the device connected to the port has changed, and actively stops the data interaction between the port and the switch. After the application for continued use is confirmed and verified by the management, the data transmission channel of the port is reopened.

[0073] Step S62: When a chain or ring node device is replaced, the upper-level device of the node automatically senses the change in the cascaded device information and automatically compares it with the logical security chain in the edge system; Figure 2As shown in the figure, when the new switch G is illegally connected, the ports of industrial switch C and industrial switch D automatically detect that the access switch is illegal. They notify the edge node industrial switches A and B to prevent illegal devices from accessing, which reflects the system's strong emergency response and collaborative working capabilities.

[0074] Step S63: The device can set a time period for a period of time when no data interaction occurs, and the switch stops the data interaction of the port. When it is used again, after application and management confirmation and verification, the data transmission channel of the port is reopened.

[0075] As described above, through the setting of step S61, when the load device of a port of the industrial Ethernet switch is replaced, the system can detect the change of the MAC address and actively stop data interaction, effectively preventing the access of illegal devices and potential network attacks. Through the setting of step S62, when the node device in the chain or ring network is replaced, the upper device can automatically sense and respond, reflecting the system's powerful real-time monitoring and emergency response capabilities; and by automatically comparing with the logical security chain in the edge system, and notifying other related devices to prevent illegal access, the coordinated defense of network devices is achieved, and the overall security is enhanced, so that the access of illegal devices can be discovered and blocked in time, preventing potential network attacks and data leakage risks. Through the setting of step S63, for device ports that have not had data interaction for a long time, network resources can be saved and resource utilization can be improved by automatically stopping data interaction.

[0076] Embodiment 2

[0077] like Figure 3 As shown, a security protection system for cascading mutual trust of industrial Ethernet switches, the system adopts the security protection method described in the first embodiment of the claim, including:

[0078] The device connection and configuration module 100 is used to interconnect multiple industrial Ethernet switch devices through physical media, and configure the switch devices according to requirements to support a ring and / or chain logical networking structure;

[0079] The main device intelligence label generation module 200 automatically generates multiple main device intelligence labels based on the configuration information and status information of multiple industrial Ethernet switch devices, wherein the factory code, CPU, and motherboard information of the switch device are automatically collected through the device system, and the main device intelligence label is generated based on the universal national secret coding system;

[0080] The device load security image and management module 300 is used to generate a device load security image and use the image to monitor and record the status changes of the management port in real time

[0082] The data storage and security module 500 forms a mapping logic security chain based on the evidence tags of the trusted data, and uses blockchain technology for distributed decentralized storage to ensure the security and non-tamperability of the data;

[0083] The trusted edge device access management and security protection module 600 is used to build a secure trusted edge device access management system, which can verify the identity and authority of the edge device, and when illegal access or device replacement is detected, it will actively stop data interaction with illegal or unconfirmed devices, and reopen the data transmission channel after the application for continued use is confirmed and verified by the management.

[0084] As described above, in the second embodiment of the present case, multiple switch devices are connected through physical media through the setting of the device connection and configuration module, and a ring and / or chain logical networking structure is supported, providing a flexible and reliable connection foundation for the network. Through the setting of the main device intelligence label generation module, the factory code, CPU, motherboard information and other hardware features of the switch device are used, combined with the general national secret coding system to generate a unique main device intelligence label, which effectively prevents device impersonation and illegal access. Through the setting of the trusted edge device access management and security protection module, the identity and authority of the edge device can be verified, and illegal access or device replacement can be detected and prevented in time, ensuring the security of the network edge. Through the setting of the device load security image and management module, by generating the device load security image, the status changes of the management port are monitored and recorded in real time, providing administrators with comprehensive device status monitoring and management means. Through the setting of the device security portrait and logical security chain construction module, a device security portrait containing the main device intelligence label and the load security image is established, and a logical security chain model is constructed based on this information, so that administrators can intuitively understand the status and security of network devices. Through the setting of data storage and security modules, blockchain technology is used for distributed decentralized storage to ensure the security and non-tamperability of data. At the same time, the mapping logic security chain is formed based on the evidence tags of trusted data, which provides strong support for data tracing and auditing.

[0085] As a specific implementation method, the trusted edge device access management and security protection module 600 is also used for: when a chain or ring node device is replaced, the upper device of the node automatically senses the change in the cascaded device information and automatically compares it with the logical security chain in the edge system. If illegal access is detected, other related devices are notified to prevent illegal device access; in addition, when the device does not interact with data within a set time period, the switch stops the data interaction of the port, and when it is reused, it reopens the data transmission channel of the port after application and management confirmation and verification. In this way, the real-time perception capability can be realized so that the system can quickly identify and respond to illegal access, effectively prevent potential security threats, thereby enhancing the overall security of the network, so that the illegal access of a single device cannot have a serious impact on the entire network.

[0086] As a specific implementation, the main device intelligence label generation module 200 includes: an information management unit 201 for collecting and processing switch device information, and a coding unit 22 for generating a main device intelligence label based on a universal national secret coding system.

In this way, the precision of device management is improved and the security of the network is strengthened, ensuring that resources are used efficiently, and at the same time, it can respond to potential security threats in a timely manner, providing a strong guarantee for the stable operation of the network.

[0088] As a specific implementation, the trusted edge device access management and security protection module 600 includes a detection unit 601 for detecting and processing changes in the MAC address of a port-connected device, a perception and comparison unit 602 for automatically sensing and comparing changes in device information, and an interaction status management unit 603 for managing the device data interaction status.

[0089] As described above, the setting of the detection unit 601 can monitor the MAC address changes of the port-connected device in real time, effectively prevent network attacks such as MAC address spoofing, and ensure the security of the network edge. The setting of the perception comparison unit 602 can automatically perceive the changes in device information and compare them with the logical security chain, timely identify and prevent illegal access, and further enhance the security of the network. The setting of the interaction status management unit 603 can manage the data interaction status of the device. For devices that have not interacted with data for a long time, their data channels can be automatically closed to save network resources and reduce potential security risks. When the device needs to re-access, the data channel can be reopened through a simple application and confirmation process, which improves management efficiency; in addition, when illegal access or device information changes are detected, the system can respond quickly and take measures, such as closing the access channel of illegal devices or notifying the administrator for further processing, thereby effectively preventing potential security threats.
