This document discusses data distribution service (DDS) security for the industrial internet of things (IIoT). It provides background on DDS and the IIoT. It then discusses how DDS security works, including pluggable security architectures, authentication, access control, and message security. The goal of DDS security is to prevent unauthorized access to data in the global data space shared by DDS applications. Built-in security capabilities include X.509 authentication, access control configuration, and encryption/message authentication algorithms.
