The EPICS Channel Access protocol is not suitable for use on open networks, it does not implement cryptographic authentication or encryption of data streams at all. There are plans and designs to be able to use them in the replacement V4 protocol PVAccess, but that aspect of the work has not proven sufficiently important to the V4 users to have been implemented yet.

------------------THe TIS400, which is open-source modified EPICS, does have secure Channel Access for telemetry systems.
