CYBER SECURITY IN INDUSTRIAL CONTROL SYSTEMS (ICS): A SURVEY OF ROWHAMMER VULNERABILITY

Increasing dependence on Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) especially the Internet in Industrial Control Systems (ICS) has made these systems primary target of cyber-attacks. As ICS are extensively used Critical Infrastructures (CI), this makes CI more vulnerable to cyber-attacks their protection becomes an important issue. On other hand, cyberattacks can exploit not only software but also physics; that is, they fundamental physical aspects computation. The newly discovered RowHammer (RH) fault injection attack is a serious vulnerability targeting hardware reliability security DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory). Studies issue raise concerns. purpose study was overview RH phenomenon DRAMs its possible risks ICSs discuss few realistic scenarios for ICSs. results revealed threat any computer-based system having DRAMs, applies ICS.
