Abstract

Due to the rapid technological development in recent decades, increasingly complex technical systems are finding their way into all areas of human activity. The growing complexity and scope of technical systems result in higher requirements on their safety.

Due to the technological possibilities, in modern industrial applications, more and more important data are exchanged between several industrial machines, monitoring or control devices. Therefore, safe and secure communication is one of the most important aspects besides safe hardware and software. The use of innovative technologies makes it necessary to develop new concepts and methods to ensure safety.

A very common method for detecting transmission errors in the digital communication process is a Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC). Due to the increasing use of wireless technologies in the field of digital communication, this method offers no longer sufficient protection.

This paper presents an approach for a novel dynamic procedure for CRC generation in a digital communication channel. The procedure is based on the conventional CRC method. However, the procedure allows the use of several specified generator polynomials, dynamically. Thus, using the procedure in a communication process obstructs unauthorized access and falsification of the transmission data.

In this paper, an initial concept for the procedure is introduced, the detailed description of some developed algorithms and aspects is explained and the selection of the eligible generator polynomials is discussed.
