KNX Secure Implementation

[kristian]

Hello @Supergiovane, I am looking forward to KNX Ultimate supporting KNX Secure (as I am currently adapting KNX Secure in my whole KNX set-up). Can you summarize the current state of the KNX Secure implementation & if there is some possibility to contribute / help you to realize this feature maybe? Thanks & best regards, @kristian

Hi Kristian
We're working on it.
Some parts are already been developed. We work (2 peoples) on the core KNX engine full day until we have finished.
I keep posting the updates on this thread.

@Supergiovane That's great news! If there is any help needed, development or concept-wise, please share the work packages that would allow contribution! I think there are a lot of developers out there keen to help! KNX Secure is getting a main push in adoption at the moment, as far as I can tell 👍

@Supergiovane I just found the draft / work-in-progress PR you mentioned Supergiovane/KNXUltimate#37. Good work! 👍 Thanks a lot for all the effort!

Just maybe generally, is there an estimate if you plan to release secure tunneling support maybe even this year still? Question goes towards, if it is worth it to wait for the implementation, or find other workarounds (e.g. my router supports translation of KNX to KNX secure protocols). Question is whether it is worth the effort to set this up as an intermediary, but if you say, like in January it is very likely a first version is released, I am happy to wait! 🥇

I think that until end of 2024, the first beta should be out.
KNX-Ultimate node will be released as beta as well.
Thank you to you for your kindness!

Awesome news! 👍 Keep up the good work! 💯

Hey @Supergiovane, any progress on the first beta release? 👍

[Supergiovane]

Hi!
I’ve seen your post about Tunneling. Thank you for your feedback! 🙏
The crypto team is testing the matter with a secure knx gateway i sent them last week, friendly given for free by an Italian online store.
Currently, we’ve no plans to release the updated knx engine, but i’m assuring you, that as soon as feasible, i’ll release a beta version of knx ultimate node. Please stay tuned. 😉

Great update @Supergiovane, thanks a lot! Hope the tests from the crypto team turn out successful! Best regards, Kristian

Hey @Supergiovane, happy new year! Just wanted to check if there has been some exciting news on the KNX secure front recently? :)

[Supergiovane]

Hi Kristian!
We're testing the matter and fixing some issues locally.
There are some more things to do, but we're committed to secure full time.
;-)
As soon as i have confidence in the code, i'll publish the first beta, but as per today, i cannot give you a release date.

Sounds good! Happy to hear that you are making good progress. Keep up the good work! :) Thanks!
