Abstract

A communication system that performs communication among a plurality of nodes by a broker-less type publishing/subscribing model, includes: a computer including a memory and a processor configured to detect distribution of unauthorized data from one application that is handled with priority on a subscriber side among one or more applications that are redundant on one or more of the nodes and functioning as a publisher side; and switch an application handled with priority on the subscriber side to another application different from the one application among the one or more applications in a case where distribution of the unauthorized data is detected.

Claims (21)

1 . A communication system that performs communication among a plurality of nodes by a broker-less type publishing/subscribing model, the communication system comprising:

a computer including a memory and a processor configured to

detect distribution of unauthorized data from one application that is handled with priority on a subscriber side among one or more applications that are redundant on one or more of the nodes and functioning as a publisher side; and

switch an application handled with priority on the subscriber side to another application different from the one application among the one or more applications in a case where distribution of the unauthorized data is detected.

2 . The communication system according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

decide the another application handled with priority on the subscriber side based on a predetermined switching condition and configuration information indicating a network configuration of the communication system,

wherein the processor switches an application handled with priority on the subscriber side to the another application decided by the processor in a case where distribution of the unauthorized data is detected.

3 . The communication system according to claim 2 , wherein the switching condition is a condition indicating that an application on a node different from a node of the one application among the one or more applications is set as an application handled with priority on the subscriber side, or a condition indicating that an application on a node different from a node of the one application and having the smallest amount of distribution data among the one or more applications is set as an application handled with priority on the subscriber side.

4 . A switching apparatus connected to a plurality of nodes that perform communication by a broker-less type publishing/subscribing model, the switching apparatus comprising:

a memory; and

a processor configured to

detect distribution of unauthorized data from one application that is handled with priority on a subscriber side among one or more applications that are redundant on one or more of the nodes and functioning as a publisher side; and

transmit an instruction to switch an application handled with priority on the subscriber side to another application different from the one application among the one or more applications in a case where distribution of the unauthorized data is detected.

5 . The switching apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

decide the another application handled with priority on the subscriber side based on a predetermined switching condition and configuration information indicating a network configuration of a communication system including the plurality of nodes.

wherein the processor transmits an instruction to switch an application handled with priority on the subscriber side to the another application decided by the processor in a case where distribution of the unauthorized data is detected.

6 . The switching apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the switching condition is a condition indicating that an application on a node different from a node of the one application among the one or more applications is set as an application handled with priority on the subscriber side. or a condition indicating that an application on a node different from a node of the one application and having the smallest amount of distribution data among the one or more applications is set as an application handled with priority on the subscriber side.

7 . A switching method performed by a switching apparatus that includes a memory and a processor, and is connected to a plurality of nodes that perform communication by a broker-less type publishing/subscribing model, the switching method comprising:

detecting distribution of unauthorized data from one application that is handled with priority on a subscriber side among one or more applications that are redundant on one or more of the nodes and functioning as a publisher side; and

transmitting an instruction to switch an application handled with priority on the subscriber side to another application different from the one application among the one or more applications in a case where distribution of the unauthorized data is detected.

8 . A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having computer-readable instructions stored thereon, which, when executed, cause a computer including a memory and processor to function as the switching apparatus according to claim 4 .
