Industrial wireless control systems are mainly designed on the premise of time-sensitive ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC). With introduction survival time to quality service requirements such systems, design paradigm has evolved from typical link reliability (i.e., minimizing packet error rate), availability, that is, chance burst errors, which can cause loss communication for ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is developing a cybersecurity testbed for industrial control systems (ICS). The goal of this testbed is to measure the performance of an ICS when instrumented with cybersecurity protections in accordance with practices prescribed by prevailing standards and guidelines. This paper outlines the testbed design and lists research goals, use ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is working to improve the information technology (IT) security of networked digital control systems used in industrial applications. This effort is being carried out through the Process Control Security Requirements Forum (PCSRF), an industry group organized under the National Information Assurance Program (NIAP). The PCSRF is working wi...

(SCADA), have lately gained the attention of IT security researchers as critical components of modern industrial infrastructure. One main reason for this attention is that ICS have not been built with security in mind and are thus particularly vulnerable when they are connected to computer networks and the Internet. ICS consists of SCADA, Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), Human-Machine Inter...

Industrial Control Systems (ICS) are widely deployed in nation’s critical national infrastructures such as utilities, transport, banking and health-care. Whilst Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems are commonly deployed to monitor real-time data and operations taking place in the ICS they are typically not equipped to monitor the functional behaviour of individual components...
