About This Item
IEEE P1711.2/D43 Aug 2019 is a draft standard for Secure SCADA Communications Protocol (SSCP), focused on communication, networking, and related system design for industrial control environments. It addresses how secure protocol behavior can support supervisory control and data acquisition communications where reliability and protection are important. IEEE P1711.2/D43 Aug 2019 is relevant to engineers and technical teams that need a structured reference for secure SCADA messaging and interoperability considerations.
Overview of IEEE P1711.2/D43 Aug 2019
This draft standard sits at the intersection of secure communications and industrial automation. IEEE P1711.2/D43 Aug 2019 provides a technical framework for SSCP, helping define expectations around how SCADA-related data may be exchanged in a controlled and secure manner. As a draft document, it is most useful for understanding the intended protocol direction, supporting design review, and aligning engineering work with the standard’s security-oriented communications approach.
Typical use cases
IEEE P1711.2/D43 Aug 2019 is typically consulted when developing or evaluating secure communications for SCADA systems used in monitoring and control applications. It may be relevant for protocol design, implementation review, and testing of industrial networks that connect control centers, remote terminal equipment, and field devices. The standard can also support integration work where secure messaging behavior and communication consistency are important across components, circuits, devices, and systems in operational technology environments.
Why it matters
For organizations working with SCADA communications, IEEE P1711.2/D43 Aug 2019 can help reduce ambiguity in protocol expectations and support more consistent engineering decisions. Clear requirements are valuable for compliance planning, procurement review, and verification activities, especially where secure data exchange affects operational reliability. Using a common technical reference may also help teams compare implementations more effectively and manage risk when designing or evaluating industrial communication systems.
