An Overlay Network Based on Cellular Technologies for the Secure Control of Intelligent Mobile Objects

The current state of the problem regarding secure control of smart mobile objects using existing tele-communication infrastructures is described in the paper. The scientific and technical task of developing the principles of using cellular communication systems for the organization of secure remote control of intelligent mobile objects has been solved. The solution lies in the use of overlay computer networks based on VPN tunneling. Proposals have been developed for constructing an overlay computer network based on VPN taking into account traffic aggregation as well as dividing network elements according to their purposes. The related problems of connection dependability at the access, distribution and core levels are considered. The possibility of using nested VPN tunneling in high-speed cellular communication systems to improve the security of transmitted data is analyzed. The result of a number of model and experimental studies is the proof of the proposed principles efficiency. Recommendations have been developed for using the proposed principles of constricting an overlay network based on cellular communication systems for the secure control of intelligent mobile objects in solutions related to the implementation of dependability and resilience of computer networks concept.
