Malware detection method by power fluctuation monitoring

Abstract

The objective of this research is to develop an innovative malware detection system for large-scale plants such as fusion reactors,focusing on the fluctuations in power consumption caused by malware intrusion. Unlike conventional security software, this method minimizes interference with system operation by physically separating the system from the control system. This approach enables earlydetection of malware and rapid countermeasures by identifying the type of malware. In addition, by utilizing the power fluctuation characteristics of different malware, the type of malware can be efficiently identified, and appropriate countermeasures can be taken, thereby enhancing the safety of critical infrastructure systems, such as fusion reactors.
