Security Issues for Scada Systemswithin Power Distribution
نویسندگان
چکیده
Society is increasingly dependent on the proper functioning of the electric power system, which in turn supports most other critical infrastructures: water and sewage systems; telecommunications, internet and computing services; air traffic, railroads and other transportation. Many of these other infrastructures are able to operate without power for shorter periods of time, but larger power outages may be difficult and time consuming to restore. Such outages might thus lead to situations of non-functioning societies with devastating economical and humanitarian consequences.

This paper proposes a testbed for validating how our process-aware monitoring approach is able to increase the security of decentralized SCADA networks in power grids. The testbed builds on the simulation framework Mosaik, and cosimulates in an integrated way, the power distribution network itself, and the control network (Modbus/TCP). By extending the existing Mosaik framework with with a SCAD...
