Cyber Security Analysis by Attack Trees for a Reactor Protection System
نویسندگان
چکیده
As nuclear facilities are introducing digital systems, the cyber security becomes an emerging topic to be analyzed and resolved. The domestic and other nation's regulatory bodies notice this topic and are preparing an appropriate guidance. The nuclear industry where new construction or upgrade of I&C systems is planned is analyzing and establishing a cyber security. A risk-based analysis for the cyber security has been performed in the KNICS (Korea Nuclear I&C Systems) project where the cyber security analysis has been applied to a reactor protection system (RPS) [1]. In this paper, the cyber security analysis based on the attack trees [2] is proposed for the KNICS RPS.

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 کاملThreat Analysis of Cyber Attacks with Attack Tree+
Defenders have developed various threat risk analysis schemes to recognize the intruder attack profile, identify the system weakness, and implement the security safeguards to protect the information asset from cyber-attacks. Attack trees (AT) technique play an important role to investigate the threat analysis problem to known cyber-attacks for risk assessment. For example, protection trees and ...
متن کاملAligning Cyber-Physical System Safety and Security
Safety and security are two key properties of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). Safety is aimed at protecting the systems from accidental failures in order to avoid hazards, while security is focused on protecting the systems from intentional attacks. They share identical goals – protecting CPS from failing. When aligned within a CPS, safety and security work well together in providing a solid foun...
متن کاملTradeoffs of Service, Security and Attack for Cyber System Survivability
Tradeoffs within the limitation of given system resources often have to be made for a cyber system to sustain its more critical services under the damage of cyber attacks. Understanding and modeling cause-effect dynamics of activities (service, security and attack), system state and Quality of Service (QoS) are essential to establish the dynamic adaptation capability of making tradeoffs among s...
متن کاملAttack Tree Visualization for Cyber Security Situational Awareness
Situational awareness in cyber domain is one of the key features for quick and accurate decision making and anomaly detection. In order to provide situational awareness, certain methods have been introduced so far and attack graph is one of them. Attack graphs help the security analyst to visualize the network topology and understand typical vulnerability and exploit behaviors in cyber domain (...
