Damage Assessment and Recovery from Information Warfare Attacks

Abstract

Sensors at different Air Force operation sites collect information on various system parameters and send to the Air Force Computer Emergency Response Team (AFCERT) for analysis. Due to the massive amount and complex nature of data involved, this process, however, is inefficient and time consuming. It is rather desirable that each site pre-processes the data before transmitting to the AFCERT. For efficient processing of data at both local and global sites, development of a suitable format for storing data locally, and determining characteristics desired at the global site for the fusion of data obtained from different sites are important. In this research, the following issues have been addressed: 1) reduction of collected information for the diagnosis of attack, 2) efficient analysis of resultant data, 3) fast and accurate damage assessment, and 4) real-time recovery of the system.
