Hello Mikko,

We have some questions concerning the ciphering process and it will be great if you can clarify them:

1- Can you please explain to us what the difference between the dedicated key and the block cipher key and the case of use? Same what the difference between the ded and glo services, are they linked to the previous keys?

2- In the GXDLMSDirector there is any tool that can cipher and decipher the messages (after filling the keys and all the data needed)? If yes, what is it and what are we supposed to fill?

3- If we want to communicate using the ded services, is it implemented from the server side? if yes how should we trigger it and use it because everything we worked with so far are the glo services?

Best Regards,

Lara Wakim
