Designing [Secure] Complex Critical Public Infrastructure
Aditya P. Mathur · 2016
Complex and critical public infrastructure includes systems for water treatment, water distribution, power generation and distribution, and private and mass transportation. Such systems share one design characteristic: they include a complex cyber component to control a complex physical component. The cyber component is a source of attraction for people with malicious intent; and the number of attempts and successes to cripple, disrupt, or damage critical infrastructure continues to increase. This talk will focus on (a) novel attacker models for public infrastructure, (b) detection methods for collaborative smart replay and extreme attacks, and (c) a network of interconnected testbeds for understanding the impact of cyber attacks and validation of attack detection and post-detection control schemes.
