Distribution Management System (DMS Sample Clauses

Distribution Management System (DMS. If the database provides a network interface, proper authentication (see 4.1.12.4) has to be in place (for both the source and the destination of the connection) to avoid, among others, rouge devices to get or set data in the device. In order to prevent wrong inputs and input-based attacks, the DMS should sanitize and semantically check the input (see 4.1.9), especially when the latter leads to database queries and, thus, to potential SQL injection attacks. To prevent Denial-of-Service conditions of the database, rate limiting should be in place, as well as other hardening mechanisms to avoid remote code execution (4.1.8). The database also has to exhibit a role-based authorisation concept, granting only the minimum required rights (4.1.13). In order to prevent sniffing of data, either communications segregation (4.1.1) or encryption (4.1.12.2) should be imposed. Table 27 gives a structured overview of the requirements for the DMS.
