Masteroppgave i Informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi IKT590 Universitetet i Agder 2014 This thesis presents a suggested solution to improve Marine Technologies (MT) bridgesystems. MT is advancing their technology and use Ethernet as a base. This is new in theoffshore world and certification companies have yet to create clear lines to certify thesenetwork systems. Systems continue to get approved with their current protection, butmeasurements are needed to advance their protection and comply with new demands. Thethesis will go through their current demands and interpret them to optimize MT’s systems andgive the certification companies a clear line to follow. The thesis will analyze MT’s systemsand experiment with solutions to optimize their system towards the certification demands.Through these experiments, a suggested solution is given through adding additional softwarein their systems to protect and monitor their network. In addition, the thesis is giving asuggested test procedure for the certification company to approve MT’s systems.
