Trusted Authentication Platform

Secure every signal.
Protect every process.

Svorge TAP adds a trusted authentication layer to critical infrastructure — helping ensure that field data and control communications come from authorized devices and arrive unaltered.

The problem

Industrial automation depends on data it has to trust.

Critical infrastructure relies on sensors, PLCs, RTUs and SCADA systems to make real-time operating decisions. If a device is spoofed, data is changed in transit, or a command comes from an unauthorized source, the control system can act on information that looks legitimate but is not.

TAP is designed to verify identity and data integrity before that information is trusted by the next part of the control environment.

Authenticate

Cryptographically verify connected devices rather than trusting a signal simply because it is present.

Verify

Validate that measurements and communications have not been altered before they are accepted.

Reject Replays

Use session-based protections to identify and reject reused or replayed messages.

Protect Both Directions

Authenticate upstream commands and downstream responses across the control chain.

Built for critical infrastructure

One security platform. Multiple industrial environments.

TAP is designed for industries where trusted field data and reliable control communications are essential to safety, uptime and operations.

Oil & Gas

Protect wellheads, pipelines, compressor stations, tank farms, processing facilities, refineries and remote assets from false or manipulated field data.

Water & Wastewater

Add trust around treatment plants, pump and lift stations, tanks, chemical systems, pressure monitoring, remote sensors, PLCs and SCADA.

Discuss a utility pilot

Electrical

Safeguard substations, monitoring points, distributed controls and other operational technology that depends on authenticated measurements and commands.

Utilities & Industrial Operations

Extend hardware-rooted trust into other critical utility and industrial environments where connected devices drive physical processes.

How TAP works

A trusted chain from the field to the control room.

TAP is inserted as an authentication layer within the industrial control path. The objective is simple: verify who sent the data, verify that it was not changed, and only then allow it to move forward.

  1. Field Sensor / Device

    Pressure, flow, temperature, level, power and other process measurements.

  2. TAP

    TAP Edge

    Authenticates the device and signs or validates the information.

  3. TAP

    TAP at PLC

    Verifies the signed data at the controller boundary before it is accepted.

  4. PLC / RTU

    Receives authenticated data for process logic and control.

  5. TAP

    TAP Gateway

    Provides another authenticated boundary toward supervisory systems.

  6. SCADA / Server

    Operators and applications work from data with a verifiable chain of trust.

Every boundary is bidirectional: data travelling up from the field and commands travelling back down to it are both authenticated before they are acted upon.

Designed to reduce high-impact OT threats

Protection focused on the data and devices behind physical operations.

TAP is designed to address common industrial threat scenarios without requiring operators to replace the PLC and SCADA environments they already depend on.

  • 01Device spoofing

    Authenticate device identity before accepting data.

  • 02Data tampering

    Verify message integrity at authenticated boundaries.

  • 03Replay attacks

    Use nonce and time-based protections to reject stale messages.

  • 04Rogue sensors

    Prevent unauthorized devices from being treated as trusted sources.

  • 05Unauthorized commands

    Authenticate control communications before they are acted upon.

  • 06Firmware rollback

    Designed with signed firmware and anti-rollback protection.

Security foundation

Strong cryptography, presented simply.

Under the hood, TAP uses hardware-rooted cryptographic identity and signed communications. For buyers and operators, the value is straightforward: trusted devices, trusted data and a verifiable path through the control environment.

Pilot-first deployment

Start with one critical process. Prove the trust model. Scale from there.

A practical TAP engagement can begin around a defined process, sensor group, PLC boundary or remote site. The pilot should focus on measurable outcomes: authorized devices are accepted, altered or replayed data is rejected, unauthorized devices are detected, and normal operations continue without disruption.

  1. Define the target process
  2. Install TAP at selected trust boundaries
  3. Validate attack and failure scenarios
  4. Measure latency and operational impact
  5. Document results and scale-up plan
Common questions

What operators ask first.

Do we have to replace our PLCs or SCADA system?

No. TAP is designed to sit at trust boundaries within the control path you already run. It authenticates devices and verifies data moving through those boundaries so the existing PLC, RTU and SCADA environment keeps operating as it does today.

What happens to latency and uptime?

Authentication adds processing at each boundary, so latency and operational impact are explicit pilot measurements rather than assumptions. A pilot should characterize both under the plant's own timing requirements before any scale-up.

Which protocols are supported?

The current focus is Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP environments. Tell us about your protocol mix when you get in touch and we will be direct about what is supported today versus what is on the roadmap.

Where are the cryptographic keys stored?

Device identity is rooted in hardware: private keys are generated and held in secure silicon and are not designed to be exported from the device. Signatures use ECC P-256 / ECDSA with SHA-256 for integrity.

How does a pilot usually start?

Around one defined process, sensor group, PLC boundary or remote site — small enough to instrument properly, real enough that the results mean something. See the pilot outline above.
