DLMS / COSEM Protocol Analyzer
Assembles 12-byte IV from System Title (8B) + Frame Counter (4B) to verify 96-bit GMAC Auth Tag and decrypt via WebCrypto.
Parsed protocol fields, OBIS attributes, and values will appear here.
DLMS / COSEM Protocol Standards & Specifications
Complete architectural breakdown of supported IEC 62056 standards and client-side cryptographic capabilities.
Client-Side AES-GCM Decryption
100% offline WebCrypto AES-GCM-128 (Security Suite 1) decryption. Computes 12-byte IV from 8-byte System Title and 4-byte Frame Counter (Invocation Counter). Authenticates 96-bit GMAC Auth Tag without server exfiltration.
HDLC & TCP-Wrapper Framing
Parses IEC 62056-46 HDLC Type 3 framing (SNRM, UA, DISC, DM, I-Frame, RR, FRMR) with dual CRC-16 (HCS/FCS) calculations and IEC 62056-47 TCP/UDP port 4059 wrapper headers.
COSEM APDU & OBIS Trees
Hierarchical AST parser for xDLMS APDUs (AARQ, AARE, GET, SET, ACTION, Data-Notification) mapping 6-group OBIS codes (IEC 62056-61) and interface class attributes (IEC 62056-62).
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Common engineering questions regarding DLMS/COSEM framing, APDU parsing, and AES-GCM decryption.
How does the client-side AES-GCM decryption work without uploading keys?
Sharur uses standard browser WebCrypto APIs to perform AES-GCM-128 (Security Suite 1) decryption directly in local browser memory. The 12-byte Initialization Vector (IV) is assembled from the 8-byte System Title and 4-byte Frame Counter (Invocation Counter). Your keys, system title, and meter packets never leave your machine.
Which IEC 62056 standards are supported by this analyzer?
Sharur supports IEC 62056-21 (Optical Mode E), IEC 62056-46 (HDLC Data Link Layer with CRC-16 HCS/FCS), IEC 62056-47 (TCP/UDP 4059 Transport Wrapper), IEC 62056-53 (COSEM APDUs: AARQ, AARE, GET, SET, ACTION, Data-Notification), IEC 62056-61 (OBIS Object Identification System), and IEC 62056-62 (COSEM Interface Classes).
What is the difference between Logical Name (LN) and Short Name (SN) referencing?
Logical Name (LN) referencing uses 6-byte OBIS codes (e.g. 1.0.1.8.0.255) to address meter objects directly, specified in Application Context 2.16.756.5.8.1.1 or 2.16.756.5.8.1.2. Short Name (SN) referencing maps object attributes to 2-byte 16-bit integer offsets, defined in Application Context 2.16.756.5.8.1.3.
How do I ask for help or share captured traces safely with the community?
After dissecting a frame, click 'Ask in Community (with Redaction)'. The workbench automatically generates a sanitized Markdown summary that replaces sensitive meter identifiers and keys with placeholders, ensuring your production telemetry remains private.
