The VIKING Project – Towards more Secure SCADA Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
The purpose of this paper is to give an overview of the VIKING project including its motivation and background. The VIKING project has been started to investigate the increased cyber security risks for deliberate attacks on critical infrastructures coming from SCADA systems and to propose mitigation. The second part of this paper describes the principle design of modern SCADA systems in order to give a better understanding of this technology. The VIKING project is an EU financed Framework 7 Collaborative STREP Project and is part of themes 4, ICT, and 10, Security. VIKING stands for Vital Infrastructure, NetworKs, INformation and Control Systems ManaGement and aims on making SCADA system more resilient against cyber attacks.

A Forward & Backward Secure Key Management in Wireless Sensor Networks for PCS/SCADA
Process Control Systems (PCSs) or Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems have recently been added to the already wide collection of wireless sensor networks applications. The PCS/ SCADA environment is somewhat more amenable to the use of heavy cryptographic mechanisms such as public key cryptography than other sensor application environments. The sensor nodes in the environmen...

متن کاملDevelopment of an Attack-Resistant and Secure SCADA System using WSN, MANET, and Internet
Industrial Control Systems (ICS) are open to security attacks when they are integrated with IT systems and wireless technologies for enhanced processing and remote control. These Critical Infrastructures (CIs) are highly important as they provide service for an entire nation and causes serious danger even when interrupted for a while. Some of the common SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acqui...
متن کاملA Secure SCADA System using MiniSec Sensor Network
SCADA refers to a large-scale, distributed measurement(and control) system. SCADA is not a specific technology, but a type of application. SCADA stands for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition — any application that gets data about a system in order to control that system is a SCADA application. A SCADA application has two elements: 1. The process/system/machinery we want to monitor a contr...
متن کاملSKMA: a key management architecture for SCADA systems
Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems are widely used in the management of critical infrastructure such as electricity and water distrubution systems. Currently there is little understanding of how to best protect SCADA systems from malicious attacks. We review the constraints and requirements for SCADA security and propose a suitable architecture (SKMA) for secure SCADA comm...
