Abstract

This article is devoted to the transmission of safety-related messages via open transmission system in application with ETCS (European Train Control System) system Level - L2 using cryptographic protocol Euroradio. Authors in this article describe conceptual proposal of on-line key management system managing the keys of all entities included in communication in the range of domains in safe manner. Proposed KMS (Key Management System) assumes the use of asymmetric cryptography. In practical part are analyzed ideological solutions of the use of public keys within the communication of ETCS system entities in two neighboring domains. Generated keys of proposed KMS hierarchical architecture were simulated for the ECC (Elliptic Curve Cryptography) algorithm, specifically for Koblitz curves in the software tool Cryptool.
