DDDAS-CRAFTS: A DDDAS-based Cyber-Resilient and Attack-Secure Framework for Trustworthy Industrial Control Systems

Abstract

Providing reliable electricity is strategically and tactically critical to an increasingly wired military . However, how to protect national power grids and military microgrids against cyber-attacks is an important but very challenging mission. Motivated by this critical need and supported by the Dynamic Data and Information Processing (DDIP) program, the major goal of this project is to to build a secure and resilient cyber-environment f or the industrial control systems that operate national and military power grids. The proposed technical approaches to obtain the goal include (1) a novel design of a software-defined networking (SDN) based communication network architecture f or power grid operations, (2) various security application modules, such as self -healing communication network management and real-time anomaly event detection, which leverage the global visibility , direct networking controllability , and programmability offered by SDN, (3) the development of a cyber-physical testbed that combines power system simulation and network emulation/hardware integrated by a distributed virtual time system, and (4) the investigation of interdependencies between the power system and the communication network to improve power grid resilience.
