Abstract:

<p>PCS are used to control parts of the critical infrastructure of society, such as electric utilities, petroleum , water, waste, chemicals and pharmaceuticals amongst others. If the PCS become victims of cyber attacks, this can have severe consequences. The consequences may involve health and safety of human lives as well as having a huge impact on national and global economy. Since the merging of COTS and PCS, the previously isolated PCS now face new types of threats due to well-known flaws in COTS, as well as being connected to the Internet. Therefore the focus on securing PCS and ICS in ge

Abstract:

The increasing complexity of modern power systems has led to a greater dependence on automatic control at all levels of operation. Large scale systems of which a power system is a prime example, is an area in which a wide gap exists between theoretical mathematically based research and engineering practice. The research programme at Durham is directed towards bridging this gap by linking some of the available and new theoretical techniques with the practical requirements of on-line computer control in power systems. This thesis is concerned with the assessment of security of power systems in r

Automated vehicles are getting closer each day to large-scale deployment. It is expected that self-driving cars will be able to alleviate traffic congestion by safely operating at distances closer than human drivers are capable of and will overall improve traffic throughput. In these conditions, passenger safety and security is of utmost importance. When multiple autonomous cars follow each other on a highway, they will form what is known as a cyber-physical system. In a general setting, there are tools to assess the level of influence a possible attacker can have on such a system, which then

This thesis establishes the “assurance technique” as the central mechanism through which we gather evidence to make claims of assurance about security. The use of such assurance techniques in the process of assessing Industrial Control System (ICS) environments is explored. In doing so it provides six key contributions to knowledge: (i) a state-of-the-art survey of ICS security research, which culminates in a framework for future research, of which the assessment of security control efficacy is one element; (ii) claims about the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of 20 assurance techniques u

With recent advancements in computer and network technologies, cyber-physical systems have become more susceptible to cyber-attacks; and production systems are no exception. Unlike traditional Information Technology (IT) systems, cyber-physical systems are not limited to attacks aimed at Intellectual Property (IP) theft, but also include attacks that maliciously affect the physical world. In manufacturing, such cyber-physical attacks can destroy equipment, force dimensional product changes, alter a product's mechanical characteristics, or endanger human lives.

Abstract:

This thesis considers the application of information inequalities, Cramér-Rao type bounds, based on Fisher information, to linear systems. These tools are used to study the trade-offs between learning and performance in two application areas: adaptive control and control systems security. In the first part of the thesis, we study stochastic adaptive control of linear quadratic regulators (LQR). Here, information inequalities are used to derive instance-dependent regret lower bounds. First, we consider a simplified version of LQR, a memoryless reference tracking model, and show how regret can

Abstract:

Improvement of cyber-security of industrial control systems is of utmost importance for our society. It has been recognized that many security vulnerabilities can be found in these systems, which if exploited may lead to dire consequences. For instance, successful cyber-attacks against industrial control systems may cause loss of electricity, lead to shortage of drinkable water,or disrupt oil and gas production. Deploying security measures to protect industrial control systems may be costly. Thus, it is expected that we would not be able to prevent all the security vulnerabilities that we fin

Access control systems are an important concept in the area of computer security. In this master thesis different solutions are analyzed. The focus is on a tool called DW Access. DW Access is developed by Pdb Datasystem AB. A comparison was done that showed that DW Access is lacking some important functionality. After the comparison a base model for an access control system was designed. The new design includes concepts like relation- ships, replacements and time limited access. It also works for generic subjects and objects in the system. This design was later partly implemented in DW Access.

Abstract:

As the rate and severity of malicious software attacks have escalated, industrial control systems (ICSes) have emerged as a particularly vulnerable target. ICSes govern the automation of the physical processes in industries such as power, water, oil and manufacturing. In contrast to the personal computing space, where attackers attempt to capture information or computing resources, the attacks directed at ICSes aim to degrade or destroy the physical processes or plants maintained by the ICS. Exploits with potentially catastrophic results are sold on brokerages to any interested party. Previou

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited<br>Industrial control systems (ICS) face daily cyber security threats, can have a significant impact to the security of our nation, and present a difficult challenge to defend. Critical infrastructures, including military systems like the machinery control systems (MCS) found onboard modern U.S. warships, are affected because of their use of commercial automation solutions. The increase of automated control systems within the U.S. Navy saves in manpower costs but increases the need for cyber security research and defense. Research is neede

Abstract:

Internet of Things (IoT) devices are becoming more and more popular. However, because the focus during this rise has not been on security they have become a huge attack surface. The purpose of IoT is that devices are interconnected and communicate with each other over the internet. This is especially problematic if these devices control important aspects of our lives such as: air conditioning, heating, water and other machinery. This report is meant to investigate one of these systems, called OPTOEMU-SNR-DR2 (abbreviated as Opto22 in this report), and document potential security flaws. We have

Abstract:

Dynamic security limits the power transfer capacity between regions and therefore has an economic impact. The power modulation control of high-voltage direct current (HVDC) links can improve the dynamic security of the power system. Having several HVDC links in a system creates the opportunity to coordinate such control, and coordination also ensures that negative interactions do not occur among the controllable devices. This thesis aims to increase dynamic security by coordinating HVDC links, as an alternative to decreasing the transfer capacity. This thesis contributes four control approache
