Security
The more buildings become connected, the more important security becomes. KNX Secure protects data communication so that modern smart buildings can be operated reliably and in a controlled manner.
KNX Data Secure
Security is not an extra. It belongs in the planning.
KNX Secure supplements the proven KNX standard with encryption and authentication. This means data transmission and access are better protected.
For projects with remote access, IP routers, visualization, door communication or sensitive areas, this is an important building block for a professional smart building architecture.
What exactly does KNX Secure protect?
Today, building automation controls much more than just light. It combines heating, cooling, shading, presence simulation, door communication, energy consumption, visualization and mobile operation. The more functions work together, the more important a clean security architecture becomes.
KNX Secure extends the KNX standard with encryption and authentication. KNX Data Secure protects user data within KNX communication and makes unauthorized access and manipulation significantly more difficult.
KNX Data Secure
KNX Data Secure protects the actual user data. This is important if functions are to be secured directly in the KNX bus. This component is becoming increasingly important, especially for security-relevant functions, sensitive areas or buildings with multiple users.
Why is this relevant for builders?
Many users think of comfort first when they think of a smart home. In professional projects, the question also counts: Who is allowed to control what? How is remote access regulated? How do you prevent functions from being manipulated? KNX Secure helps to solve these questions in a technically sound way.
How does DIVUS fit into this?
DIVUS focuses on high-quality operation, visualization and integration. KNX Secure must be planned project by project within KNX communication using the components intended for that purpose. KNX SERVER and D+ do not have KNX Secure themselves and are not described here as KNX Secure devices. They belong to visualization, project logic and the operating interface. A KNX project becomes strong when the security architecture, KNX basis and user interface work cleanly together.
Conclusion: KNX Secure is not a marketing term, but an important part of modern building automation. Anyone planning today should think about security right from the start, especially when it comes to networks, remote access and visualization.
