Methods and apparatus for load allocation and monitoring for a resource that is critical to the security of supply in a network

摘要

The invention relates to a device and method for load allocation and monitoring for a resource to be allocated in a network (100), the resource to be allocated being a critical resource in terms of security of supply for a population group and / or a system, the network (100) is subdivided into network units (101) and each network unit (101) has a network unit controller (211), the method comprising: provision (10) of network unit control methods (11), network unit parameter data sets (12) and sub-network monitoring methods (13) in at least one blockchain (300). Assigning (20) a sub-network monitoring unit (111) to part of the network (110). Transmitting (30, 40) a network unit control method (11) and a network unit parameter data set (12) to each network unit controller (211) of the part of the network (110). The transmission (30, 40) of the network unit control method (11) and the network unit parameter data sets (12) is cryptographically secured against reading out and manipulation of the network unit control method (11) and the network unit parameter data sets (12) that the corresponding readout and manipulation is largely excluded and takes place in such a way that proper functioning of each network unit controller (211) of the part of the network (100) is guaranteed. Monitoring (50) the proper functioning of each network unit controller (211) of the part of the network (110) by the sub-network monitoring unit (111) by means of a corresponding sub-network monitoring method (13).
