Basic Demands

The basic demands of the system are to fulfil the following require-
ments: 

Data security – Data security ensures that raw data collected by 
the system is not corrupted or distorted during transport from the 
sensor to a secure database. The raw data includes both the actual 
values and the time stamps of these values.

Data integrity – Data integrity ensures that raw data in the secure 
database cannot be compromised, manipulated or altered acciden-
tally or intentionally by any user of the system. This also covers 
the transport of values from the sensors to the secure database.

System reliability – System reliability ensures that a single point 
of failure in the system is not fatal for the continuous recording of 
raw data in the secure database.

2.1

System Topology and Configuration

The system requires a Windows domain controller to administer users 
and user groups.

The server has to be run under a domain account with administrative 
privileges on the local computer, and be executed as a Windows service. 

TAC Vista Server 
Logging in the Secure 
Database

Windows NT Server 
Domain controller
