This paper surveys the DDS, a real - time communication middleware, and proposes ways to improve the DDS secure communication performance. DDS is a communication middleware standard by the OMG. The OMG has released the DDS Security standard to resolve the security issues. The security performance of DDS can be considered into transmission speed and confidentiality. In terms of confidentiality, AES-GCM, currently the encryption algorithm specified by DDS Security, is a very strong encryption algorithm, but there are well known weaknesses associated with authentication. In terms of speed, The computational load for the security function is a restriction to use DDS in systems which requires real-time performance. Therefore, in order to improve the DDS security, algorithms that are faster than AES-GCM and strong in encryption strength are needed. In this paper, we propose a DDS message encryption method applying AES-OCB algorithm to meet these requirements and Compared with the existing DDS, the transmission performance is improved by up to 12%.

DDS (Data Distribution Serivce) communication middleware is spreading to various private sector as well as the defense sector because it can obtain a very high application effect in a complex system environment in which a plurality of data producers and data consumers are connected by a network. However, application development using DDS middleware is an inefficient structure with a lot of repetitive codes because most users perform 1: 1 mapping with the message they want to exchange. Accordingly, the user has to perform unnecessary repetitive tasks as the topic increases. Therefore, a development support tool that identifies a series of processes required for using DDS middleware and automatically generates the classes that are repeated by Topic is required. In this paper, we propose a method for DDS communication by automatically generating a common class for efficient use of DDS middleware.

OMG 그룹에서 제안하고 있는 DDS(Data Distribution Service) 미들웨어에서 디스커버리 프로토콜은 미들웨어 간의 상호 운용성 지원을 위한 기본 요소이다. DDS 미들웨어가 적용되는 대부분의 환경에서는 다수의 노드에서 생성된 참여자를 찾기 위해 한꺼번에 많은 수의 디스커버리 정보가 교환되기 때문에 노드 및 네트워크의 성능에 많은 영향을 미친다. 본 논문에서는 DDS 미들웨어 개발 후에 시험이 되어야 하는 디스커버리 기능의 검증과 성능 측정을 위한 응용을 설계하고 이를 구현하였다. 디스커버리 시험 응용은 디스커버리 시험 전체를 관리하는 제어 응용, DDS 미들웨어를 통하여 DDS 개체를 생성하고 이들간의 정보교환을 담당하는 DDS 응용, 그리고 DDS 응용을 통제하고 실행 결과를 수집하여 제어 응용으로 전송하는 데몬 서버로 구성된다. 구현된 디스커버리 시험 응용은 디스커버리 기능 검증 및 성능 정보의 수집을 프로세서 간의 통신을 통하여 효과적으로 수행한다. 또한, DDS 응용의 동작 권한을 제어 응용이 위치한 노드에 집중시킴으로써 많은 수의 노드에서 시험이 필요한 환경에 적합하도록 설계되었다.

Recently, a safety control platform to monitor the safety of train operation in real time and prevent accidents and risks through control is under study. In the initial design, DDS communication method supporting distributed network is adopted for real-time processing of large amount of data according to the integration of existing distributed safety data. However, communication between server and console inside the safety control platform is applied to existing TCP socket communication. In the case of TCP socket communication, it is possible to process data for a small system of a safety control test bed by one-to-one communication. However, if the data is expanded all over the country in the future, it becomes difficult to cope with a case where communication traffic occurs due to vast amount of data. In this paper, we propose DDS communication method to support distributed network between server and console of security control platform, and demonstrate TCP socket and DDS method, and compare throughput and speed. As a result, we have found that the scalability and flexibility are improved in case of applying DDS communication to future systems.

In this paper, I investigate the performances of the discovery and the message transmission of the DDS (Data Distribution Service) included the security function. The DDS serves the communication protocol, a publication- subscription method, for the real-time communication in the distributed system. The publication-subscription method is used in the various area in terms of defence, traffic and medical due to the strength such as a performance, scailability and availability. Nowadays, many communication standard has included and re-defined the security function to prepare from dramatically increased a threat of the security, the DDS also publishes the standard included the security function. But it had been not researched that the effect of increased a overhead for legacy systems due to the using of the security DDS function. The experimental results show that the comparative performance of legacy DDS and security DDS in terms of the discovery and the message transmission.

Data Distribution Service (DDS) is a communication middleware that supports a flexible, scalable and real-time communication capability. This paper describes several techniques to improve the performance of DDS middleware. Detailed events for the internal behavior of the middleware are defined. A DDS message is disassembled into several submessages of independent, meaningful units for event-driven structuring in order to reduce the processing complexity. The proposed technique of history cache management is also described. It utilizes the fact that status access and random access to the history cache occur more frequently in the DDS. These methods have been implemented in the EchoDDS, the DDS implementation developed by our team, and it showed improved performance.

Trend of next generation satellite communication network is distribution and enlargement of network structure with increased network terminals, and traffic which use satellite communication is increasing and frequently occurring. Under specific satellite communication environment that various communication device dynamically forms a network domain and frequently exchanges the data, data-centric publish/subscribe data exchange is more suitable than server/client data exchange. So, this paper analyze DDS performance for application of DDS standard to distribution network management system which aims to efficiently manage limited satellite resource, and also this paper covers comparative study on DDS and SNMP(server/client data exchange). Study compares DDS and SNMP using OPNET, and result of study is analyzed from a network layer performance perspective.

The DDS (Data Distribution Service) is a data-centric communication technology that provides an efficient communication service that supports a dynamic plug & play through an automatic setting of participants' location information for each data (Topic) by using DDS discovery technique. This paper proposes the hierarchical-structured DDS discovery technique (SPDP-TBF) suitable for the large-scale distributed systems by comparing and analyzing the existing DDS discovery techniques in terms of performance and problem areas. The proposed SPDP-TBF performs the periodic discovery of the involved participants only by having separate hierarchical managers which take charge of the registration and search (of participants) so that a participant sends its information to the related participants only, and it enhances the effectiveness of the message transfer. Moreover, the proposed SPDP-TBF provides the improved scalability by performing the hierarchical discovery through hierarchical manager nodes so that it can be applied to the large-scale distributed system.

Naval CMS(Combat Management System) is linked to various sensors and weapon equipment and use DDS(Data Distribution Service) for efficient data communication between ICU(Interface Control Unit) Node and IPN(Information Processing Node). In order to use DDS, software in the system communicates in an PUB/SUB(Publication/Subscribe) based on DDS topic. If the DDS messages structure in this PUB/SUB method does not match, problems such as incorrect command processing and wrong information delivery occur in sending and receiving application software. To improve this, this paper proposes a DDS message structure integrity verification method. To improve this, this paper proposes a DDS message structure integrity verification method using a hash tree. To verify the applicability of the proposed method to Naval CMS, the message integrity verification rate of the proposed method was measured, and the integrity verification method was applied to CMS and the initialization time of the existing combat management system was compared and the hash tree generation time of the message structures was measured to understand the effect on the operation and development process of CMS. Through this test, It was confirmed that the message structure verification method for system stability proposed in this paper can be applied to the Naval CMS.
