Secure Key Renewal in WirelessHART
WirelessHART is a wireless extension to the HART protocol. Even though WirelessHART is designed to be a secure protocol, the loopholes in the key management system makes it vulnerable to security threats. The broadcast approach for key renewal mechanisms in WirelessHART is not secure enough to be used in sensitive industrial automation environments where breach of security may result in catastrophic results. Also, key distribution with unicast communication with each device requires O(n) rekeying messages, where n is the size of the network.
In this paper we provide a secure and scalable key renewal
protocol for WirelessHART that reduces the communication
overhead to O(logn). Our protocol requires far less messages
than the conventional unicast approach

Using LoRa for industrial wireless networks
The new concept of Industry 4.0 has been developed: it includes both Internet of Things (IoT) structure and the local networks that are still needed to carry out real-time tasks. However, forecasts of mass application of consumer IoT system have stimulated the development of new wireless technologies that may also be interesting for industry. In this paper, the LoRa technology is investigated for the implementation of industrial wireless networks suitable for sensors and actuators of the Industry 4.0 era. After a brief overview of LoRa and LoRaWAN, the paper deals with the discussion about using LoRa for industrial applications compared to traditional industrial wireless systems. With only very light modifications to the upper layer of LoRaWAN communication stack, a time slot channel hopping schema is possible. The experimental results show the feasibility of the proposed approach, which is compatible with requirements of soft real-time applications in process industry. In particular, proper time, frequency, and spreading factor planning may allow 6000 nodes accessed up to one minute cycle time.</p
