| System | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Criterion | Value | Proof(s) | Comment |
| Authentication with other systems | Full | [6] | Designed to integrate securely with factory-level systems (MES, SCADA) and PLCs via industrial fieldbus protocols like EtherNet/IP and PROFINET. |
| Communications | Encrypted with up-to-date encryption | [7] | Supports secure communication protocols for remote access and management. Industrial fieldbus communication is typically on isolated, trusted networks. |
| Storage | Encrypted with up-to-date encryption | [8] | User programs and sensitive configuration data are stored in a proprietary, protected format. Access is strictly controlled. |

| User Authentication | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Criterion | Value | Proof(s) | Comment |
| Account management | Full | [9] | Epson RC+ software features a robust, multi-level security system with user roles (e.g., Administrator, Programmer, Operator) and granular permissions. |
| Authentication | Secure | [10] | Access to the controller for programming and operation is protected by a mandatory username and password system with different privilege levels. |
| Brute-force protection | Exist | [11] | The system includes mechanisms to lock out users after multiple failed login attempts. |
| Event logging | Access event logged | [12] | Maintains comprehensive logs of all operations, user logins, program changes, and system errors for auditing and troubleshooting. |
| Passwords | Require change after setup with complexity requirements | [13] | Security best practices and the RC+ software enforce the creation of strong passwords for all user levels, especially for the administrator account. |
