Philosophy of Protection for Critical Infrastructure Systems

چکیده
The Universal Command and Control System (UCCS) is a highly distributed system involving numerous platforms and commands, supporting military operations worldwide. The Highly Reliable Software Production Facility (HRSPF), recently assigned responsibility for improving system performance, has generated routing algorithm update 3.01 to be installed in thousands of routers throughout the system, including routers serving highly critical processing nodes. The update introduces a critically needed performance improvement, so time is of the essence. Accordingly, it is determined that the systems’ active network capability will be used to distribute and install the update. This capability permits information packets to be flooded throughout the network without requiring the creation of individual sessions between HRSPF and each router. Whenever a packet traverses a router the update is extracted, validated, and loaded. In some relatively short time, most routers will have been updated.
