The Design of new wireless communication systems for industrial applications,≠.g. control applications, is currently a hot research topic, as they deal as a\nkey enabler for more flexible solutions at a lower cost compared to systems\nbased on wired communication. However, one of their main drawbacks is, that\nthey provide a huge potential for miscellaneous cyber attacks due to the open\nnature of the wireless channel in combination with the huge economic potential\nthey are able to provide. Therefore, security measures need to be taken into\naccount for the design of such systems. Within this work, an approach for the\nsecurity architecture of local wireless systems with respect to the needs of\ncontrol applications is presented and discussed. Further, new security\nsolutions based on Physical Layer Security are introduced in order to overcome\nthe drawbacks of state of the art security technologies within that scope.\n
