Cyber-Physical System Security and Impact Analysis

چکیده
Electric power grids have been identified as critical infrastructures. They are increasingly dependent on Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) for the operation and control of physical facilities. It can be envisioned that on top of the power infrastructure reside ICT layers that are coupled with the electric grids. As the ICT connectivity increases, so does the potential for cyber intrusions. This paper describes the importance of cyber security for power systems. A testbed architecture provides an accurate and powerful tool for identification of cyber-physical system vulnerabilities, security enhancement, impact analysis, and mitigation of cyber attacks. Simulation scenarios of cyber intrusions and attacks on the power grid, using the testbed, are discussed. The impact analysis’ simulation results capture the dynamic behavior of IEEE 39-bus system as a response to cyber attacks which may evolve into a partial or complete blackout. The problem of fast restoration from blackout after cyber attacks is

An Effective Attack-Resilient Kalman Filter-Based Approach for Dynamic State Estimation of Synchronous Machine
Kalman filtering has been widely considered for dynamic state estimation in smart grids. Despite its unique merits, the Kalman Filter (KF)-based dynamic state estimation can be undesirably influenced by cyber adversarial attacks that can potentially be launched against the communication links in the Cyber-Physical System (CPS). To enhance the security of KF-based state estimation, in this paper...
متن کاملStability Analysis of the Cyber Physical Microgrid System under the Intermittent DoS Attacks
Recent research has demonstrated the vulnerabilities of cyber physical microgrid to different rates of denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, which send internal requests to degrade the victim’s performance. However, the interaction between the attacks and the security of microgrid remains largely unknown. In this paper, we address two fundamental questions: (1) What is the impact of intermittent DoS...
متن کاملArchitectural Model for Information Security Analysis of Critical Information Infrastructures
Critical Information Infrastructures (CII) are computer systems and networks that support and control operations of many critical infrastructures that our society depends on, such as power plants, electrical grids, and water and waste facilities. Since the operations of CII also effect physical world, they are a good example of large-scale, critical cyber-physical systems. In recent years, CII ...
متن کاملResilience of Process Control Systems to Cyber-Physical Attacks
In this work we investigate the matter of “secure control” – a novel research direction capturing security objectives specific to Industrial Control Systems (ICS). We provide an empirical analysis of the well known Tennessee Eastman process control challenge problem to gain insights into the behavior of a physical process when confronted with cyber-physical attacks. In particular, we investigat...
متن کاملScalable Anomaly Detection and Isolation in Cyber-physical Systems Using Bayesian Networks
Anomalies in cyber-physical systems may arise due to malicious cyber attacks or operational faults in the physical devices. Accurately detecting the anomalies and isolating their root-causes is important for identifying appropriate reactive and preventive measures and building resilient cyber-physical systems. Anomaly detection and isolation in cyber-physical systems is challenging, because the...
