A Discussion on Security Evaluation of Time Synchronization Algorithm via Modeling and Simulation Proceedings Article Junior, Eloy Martins Oliveira; Oliveira, Marcelo Lopes; Souza, Resumo | Links | BibTeX | Tags: cyber warfare, cyber-, Time Synchronization @inproceedings{Eloy2014cyberb, Satellites, aircrafts, automobiles, power controls and traffic controls are part of critical infrastructure of a country. The security requirements for these systems are increasing to improve the capability to avoid malicious attacks. These systems integrate computations, communications and real time controls in a deterministic and distributed environment. Networked Control Systems (NCSs) are an example of this. An NCS interconnects, in different levels of operations, a large number of actuators, sensors and controllers. To achieve the determinism, it requires time synchronization among its nodes. However, the time synchronization process is a potential target for malicious attacks attempting to disrupt the normal operation of systems. This paper presents a discussion on security evaluation of fault-tolerant mid-point time synchronization algorithm via modeling and simulation. This discussion shows preliminarily: 1) the effects of malicious attack in time synchronization algorithm; 2) the potential effects on systems; and 3) suggestions for countermeasures. |
