1. A control system for a railway safety critical application system, comprising:
at least one controller executing first and second tasks; the first task having an external bilateral communications interface capable of sending and receiving a safety critical systems message within a railway safety critical application system, the message including a security code and safety critical data; the second task having an external communications interface capable of receiving a safety critical systems message, but incapable of sending a safety critical systems message that is generated within the second task, the second task having a security code generator; and an inter-task communications pathway coupling the first and second tasks; wherein the first and second tasks respectively receive an input safety critical systems message including input safety critical systems data and an input security code, verify the input message integrity and generate output safety critical systems data, the second task generates an output security code and sends it to the first task, and the first task sends an output safety critical systems message including the output safety critical systems data and the second task output security code for use within the railway safety critical application system. |
