OPC UA provides a security model, in which security measures can be selected and
configured to meet the security needs of a given installation.
– Security model
 Systems concepts

• The OPC UA systems architecture models OPC UA Clients and Servers as interacting
partners. Each system may contain multiple Clients and Servers. Each Client may
interact concurrently with one or more Servers, and each Server may interact
concurrently with one or more Clients
 OPC UA Clients
• The OPC UA Client architecture models the Client endpoint of client/server
interactions. Figure 4 illustrates the major elements of a typical OPC UA Client and
how they relate to each other.
