The virtual power system testbed and inter-testbed integration
David C. Bergman, Dong Jin, David M. Nicol, Tim Yardley · USENIX Security Symposium · 2009
The Virtual Power System Testbed (VPST) at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is part of the Trustworthy Cyber Infrastructure for the Power Grid (TCIP) and is maintained by members of the Information Trust Institute (ITI). VPST is designed to be integrated with other testbeds across the country to explore performance and security of Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) protocols and equipment. We discuss potential use cases in order to motivate the integration of VPST with other testbeds, identify requirements of interconnected testbeds, and describe our design for integration with VPST.
