The ROS2 Middleware Interface (rmw) uses OMG Data-Distribution Service (DDS) standard middleware and the DDS-RTPS protocol. One key aspect of DDS is the support for secure communications defined by the DDS-Security standard. This presentation describes the main characteristics of DDS-Security: How applications are identified and authenticated, access control mechanisms, and dataflow protection options (e.g., encryption, authentication, origin authentication). We will describe interesting scenarios and how they would impact the deployment of secure ROS2 systems that leverage DDS-Security. We also include benchmarks showing the expected performance impact resulting from each of these choices.
