Protecting Cyber Physical Infrastructure (PCPI)
Abstract
* Formerly Protecting Cyber Physical Systems (PCPS) The Protecting Cyber Physical Infrastructure (PCPI) program will create new technologies for ensuring the availability and integrity of critical U.S. cyber-physical infrastructure. The near-ubiquitous use of computers to monitor and control U.S. civilian and military critical infrastructure and the dependence of our society on electric power, clean water, waste processing, petroleum refining, chemical production, and other utilities/industries make this a national security issue. PCPI will develop technologies to monitor heterogeneous distributed control system networks, detect anomalies that require rapid assessment, and mitigate sensor spoofing and denial of service attacks. Hardware-in-the-loop simulation techniques will be developed to enable the discovery of emergent vulnerabilities and the development and optimization of mitigation strategies. This will include understanding the potential role of electric power markets in propagating or damping power grid anomalies. PCPI technologies will transition to military installations and commercial industry.
