Intrusion Detection of Flooding DoS Attacks on Emulated Smart Meters

Akbar, Yousef M. A. H. 11 May 2020 (has links)
The power grid has changed a great deal from what has been generally viewed as a traditional power grid. The modernization of the power grid has seen an increase in the integration and incorporation of computing and communication elements, creating an interdependence of both physical and cyber assets of the power grid. The fast-increasing connectivity has transformed the grid from what used to be primarily a physical system into a Cyber- Physical System (CPS). The physical elements within a power grid are well understood by power engineers; however, the newly deployed cyber aspects are new to most researchers and operators in this field. The new computing and communications structure brings new vulnerabilities along with all the benefits it provides. Cyber security of the power grid is critical due to the potential impact it can make on the community or society that relies on the critical infrastructure. These vulnerabilities have already been exploited in the attack on the Ukrainian power grid, a highly sophisticated, multi-layered attack which caused large power outages for numerous customers. There is an urgent need to understand the cyber aspects of the modernized power grid and take the necessary precautions such that the security of the CPS can be better achieved. The power grid is dependent on two main cyber infrastructures, i.e., Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) and Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI). This thesis investigates the AMI in power grids by developing a testbed environment that can be created and used to better understand and develop security strategies to remove the vulnerabilities that exist within it. The testbed is to be used to conduct and implement security strategies, i.e., an Intrusion Detections Systems (IDS), creating an emulated environment to best resemble the environment of the AMI system. A DoS flooding attack and an IDS are implemented on the emulated testbed to show the effectiveness and validate the performance of the emulated testbed. / M.S. / The power grid is becoming more digitized and is utilizing information and communication technologies more, hence the smart grid. New systems are developed and utilized in the modernized power grid that directly relies on new communication networks. The power grid is becoming more efficient and more effective due to these developments, however, there are some considerations to be made as for the security of the power grid. An important expectation of the power grid is the reliability of power delivery to its customers. New information and communication technology integration brings rise to new cyber vulnerabilities that can inhibit the functionality of the power grid. A coordinated cyber-attack was conducted against the Ukrainian power grid in 2015 that targeted the cyber vulnerabilities of the system. The attackers made sure that the grid operators were unable to observe their system being attacked via Denial of Service attacks. Smart meters are the digitized equivalent of a traditional energy meter, it wirelessly communicates with the grid operators. An increase in deployment of these smart meters makes it such that we are more dependent on them and hence creating a new vulnerability for an attack. The smart meter integration into the power grid needs to be studied and carefully considered for the prevention of attacks. A testbed is created using devices that emulate the smart meters and a network is established between the devices. The network was attacked with a Denial of Service attack to validate the testbed performance, and an Intrusion detection method was developed and applied onto the testbed to prove that the testbed created can be used to study and develop methods to cover the vulnerabilities present.

REACHABILITY ANALYSIS OF HUMAN-IN-THE-LOOP SYSTEMS USING GAUSSIAN MIXTURE MODEL WITH SIDE INFORMATION

Cheng-Han Yang (18521940) 08 May 2024 (has links)
<p dir="ltr">In the context of a Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) system, the accuracy of reachability analysis plays a significant role in ensuring the safety and reliability of HITL systems. In addition, one can avoid unnecessary conservativeness by explicitly considering human control behavior compared to those methods that rely on the system dynamics alone. One possible approach is to use a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) to encode human control behavior using the Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm. However, relatively few works consider the admissible control input ranges due to physical limitations when modeling human control behavior. This could make the following reachability analysis overestimate the system's capability, thereby affecting the performance of the HITL system. To address this issue, this work presents a constrained stochastic reachability analysis algorithm that can explicitly account for the admissible control input ranges. By confining the ellipsoidal confidence region of each Gaussian component using Sequential Quadratic Programming (SQP), we probabilistically constrain the GMM as well as the corresponding stochastic reachable sets. A comprehensive mathematical analysis of how the constrained GMM can affect the stochastic reachable sets is provided in this work. Finally, the proposed stochastic reachability analysis algorithm is validated via an illustrative numerical example.</p>

SOSLite: Soporte para Sistemas Ciber-Físicos y Computación en la Nube

Pradilla Ceron, Juan Vicente 16 January 2017 (has links)
Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) have become one of the greatest research topics today; because they pose a new complex discipline, which addresses big existing and future systems as the Internet, the Internet of Things, sensors networks and smart grids. As a recent discipline, there are many possibilities to improve the state of the art, interoperability being one of the most relevant. Thus, this thesis has been created within the framework of interoperability for CPS, by using the SOS (Sensor Observation Service) standard, which belongs to the SWE (Sensor Web Enablement) framework of the OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium). It has been developed to give rise to a new line of research within the Distributed Real-Time Systems and Applications group (SATRD for its acronym in Spanish) from the Communications Department of the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV for its acronym in Valencian). The approach, with which the interoperability in the CPS has been addressed, is of synthetic type (from parts to whole), starting from a verifiable and workable solution for interoperability in sensor networks, one of the most significant CPSs because it is integrated in many other CPSs, next adapting and testing the solution in more complex CPS, such as the Internet of Things. In this way, an interoperability solution in sensor networks is proposed based on the SOS, but adapted to some requirements that makes of this mechanism a lighter version of the standard, which facilitates the deployment of future implementations due to the possibility of using limited devices for this purpose. This theoretical solution is brought to a first implementation, called SOSLite, which is tested to determine its characteristic behavior and to verify the fulfillment of its purpose. Analogously, and starting from the same theoretical solution, a second implementation is projected called SOSFul, which proposes an update to the SOS standard so that it is lighter, more efficient and easier to use. The SOSFul, has a more ambitious projection by addressing the Internet of Things, a more complex CPS than sensors networks. As in the case of the SOSLite, tests are performed and validation is made through a use case. So, both the SOSLite and the SOSFul are projected as interoperability solutions in the CPS. Both implementations are based on the theoretical proposal of a light SOS and are available for free and under open source licensing so that it can be used by the research community to continue its development and increase its use. / Los Sistemas Ciber-Físicos (CPS) se han convertido en uno de los temas de investigación con mayor proyección en la actualidad; debido a que plantean una nueva disciplina compleja, que aborda sistemas existentes y futuros de gran auge como: la Internet, la Internet de las Cosas, las redes de sensores y las redes eléctricas inteligentes. Como disciplina en gestación, existen muchas posibilidades para aportar al estado del arte, siendo la interoperabilidad uno de los más relevantes. Así, esta tesis se ha creado en el marco de la interoperabilidad para los CPS, mediante la utilización del estándar SOS (Sensor Observation Service) perteneciente al marco de trabajo SWE (Sensor Web Enablement) del OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium). Se ha desarrollado para dar surgimiento a una nueva línea de investigación dentro del grupo SATRD (Sistemas y Aplicaciones de Tiempo Real Distribuidos) del Departamento de Comunicaciones de la UPV (Universitat Politècnica de València). La aproximación con la cual se ha abordado la interoperabilidad en los CPS es de tipo sintética (pasar de las partes al todo), iniciando desde una solución, verificable y realizable, para la interoperabilidad en las redes de sensores, uno de los CPS más significativos debido a que se integra en muchos otros CPS, y pasando a adaptar y comprobar dicha solución en CPS de mayor complejidad, como la Internet de las Cosas. De esta forma, se propone una solución de interoperabilidad en las redes de sensores fundamentada en el SOS, pero adaptada a unos requerimientos que hacen de este mecanismo una versión más ligera del estándar, con lo que se facilita el despliegue de futuras implementaciones debido a la posibilidad de emplear dispositivos limitados para tal fin. Dicha solución teórica, se lleva a una primera implementación, denominada SOSLite, la cual se prueba para determinar su comportamiento característico y verificar el cumplimiento de su propósito. De forma análoga y partiendo de la misma solución teórica, se proyecta una segunda implementación, llamada SOSFul, la cual propone una actualización del estándar SOS de forma que sea más ligero, eficiente y fácil de emplear. El SOSFul, tiene una proyección más ambiciosa al abordar la Internet de las Cosas, un CPS más complejo que las redes de sensores. Como en el caso del SOSLite, se realizan pruebas y se valida mediante un caso de uso. Así, tanto el SOSLite como el SOSFul se proyectan como soluciones de interoperabilidad en los CPS. Ambas implementaciones parten de la propuesta teórica de SOS ligero y se encuentran disponibles de forma gratuita y bajo código libre, para ser empleados por la comunidad investigativa para continuar su desarrollo y aumentar su uso. / Els sistemes ciberfísics (CPS, Cyber-Physical Systems) s'han convertit en un dels temes de recerca amb major projecció en l'actualitat, a causa del fet que plantegen una nova disciplina complexa que aborda sistemes existents i futurs de gran auge, com ara: la Internet, la Internet de les Coses, les xarxes de sensors i les xarxes elèctriques intel·ligents. Com a disciplina en gestació, hi ha moltes possibilitats per a aportar a l'estat de la qüestió, sent la interoperabilitat una de les més rellevants. Així, aquesta tesi s'ha creat en el marc de la interoperabilitat per als CPS, mitjançant la utilització de l'estàndard SOS (Sensor Observation Service) pertanyent al marc de treball SWE (Sensor Web Enablement) de l'OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium).

Aquesta solució teòrica es porta a una primera implementació, denominada SOSLite, que es prova per a determinar el seu comportament característic i verificar el compliment del seu propòsit. De forma anàloga i partint de la mateixa solució teòrica, es projecta una segona implementació, anomenada SOSFul, que proposa una actualització de l'estàndard SOS de manera que siga més lleuger, eficient i fàcil d'emprar. El SOSFul té una projecció més ambiciosa quan aborda la Internet de les Coses, un CPS més complex que les xarxes de sensors. Com en el cas del SOSLite, es realitzen proves i es valida mitjançant un cas d'ús. Així, tant el SOSLite com el SOSFul, es projecten com a solucions d'interoperabilitat en els CPS. Ambdues implementacions parteixen de la proposta teòrica de SOS lleuger, i es troben disponibles de forma gratuïta i en codi lliure per a ser emprades per la comunitat investigadora a fi de continuar el seu desenvolupament i augmentar-ne l'ús. / Pradilla Ceron, JV.

Achieving Compositional Security and Privacy in IoT Environments

Muslum Ozgur Ozmen (18870154) 11 September 2024 (has links)
<p dir="ltr">The Internet of Things (IoT) systems include sensors that measure the physical world, actuators that influence it, and IoT apps that automate these sensors and actuators. Although IoT environments have revolutionized our lives by integrating digital connectivity into physical processes, they also introduce unique security and privacy concerns. Particularly, these systems include multiple components that are unified through the cyber and physical domains. For instance, smart homes include various devices and multiple IoT apps that control these devices. Thus, attacks against any single component can have rippling effects, amplifying due to the composite behavior of sensors, actuators, apps, and the physical environment.</p><p dir="ltr">In this dissertation, I explore the emerging security and privacy issues that arise from the complex physical interactions in IoT environments. To discover and mitigate these emerging issues, there is a need for composite reasoning techniques that consider the interplay between digital and physical domains. This dissertation addresses these challenges to build secure IoT environments and enhance user privacy with new formal techniques and systems.</p><p dir="ltr">To this end, I first describe my efforts in ensuring the safety and security of IoT en- vironments. Particularly, I introduced IoTSeer, a security service that discovers physical interaction vulnerabilities among IoT apps. I then proposed attacks that evade prior event verification systems by exploiting the complex physical interactions between IoT sensors and actuators. To address them, I developed two defenses, software patching and sensor placement, to make event verification systems robust against evasion attacks. These works provide a suite of tools to achieve compositional safety and security in IoT environments. </p><p dir="ltr">Second, I discuss my work that identifies the privacy risks of emerging IoT devices. I designed DMC-Xplorer to find vulnerabilities in voice assistant platforms and showed that an adversary can eavesdrop on privacy-sensitive device states and prevent users from controlling devices. I then developed a remote side-channel attack against intermittent devices to infer privacy-sensitive information about the environment in which they are deployed. These works highlight new privacy issues in emerging commodity devices used in IoT environments.</p>

ILoViT: Indoor Localization via Vibration Tracking

Poston, Jeffrey Duane 23 April 2018 (has links)
Indoor localization remains an open problem in geolocation research, and once this is solved the localization enables counting and tracking of building occupants. This information is vital in an emergency, enables occupancy-optimized heating or cooling, and assists smart buildings in tailoring services for occupants. Unfortunately, two prevalent technologies---GPS and cellular-based positioning---perform poorly indoors due to attenuation and multipath from the building. To address this issue, the research community devised many alternatives for indoor localization (e.g., beacons, RFID tags, Wi-Fi fingerprinting, and UWB to cite just a few examples). A drawback with most is the requirement for those being located to carry a properly-configured device at all times. An alternative based on computer vision techniques poses significant privacy concerns due to cameras recording building occupants. By contrast, ILoViT research makes novel use of accelerometers already present in some buildings. These sensors were originally intended to monitor structural health or to study structural dynamics. The key idea is that when a person's footstep-generated floor vibrations can be detected and located then it becomes possible to locate persons moving within a building. Vibration propagation in buildings has complexities not encountered by acoustic or radio wave propagation in air; thus, conventional localization algorithms are inadequate. ILoVIT algorithms account for these conditions and have been demonstrated in a public building to provide sub-meter accuracy. Localization provides the foundation for counting and tracking, but providing these additional capabilities confronts new challenges. In particular, how does one determine the correct association of footsteps to the person making them? The ILoViT research created two methods for solving the data association problem. One method only provides occupancy counting but has modest, polynomial time complexity. The other method draws inspiration from prior work in the radar community on the multi-target tracking problem, specifically drawing from the multiple hypothesis tracking strategy. This dissertation research makes new enhancements to this tracking strategy to account for human gait and characteristics of footstep-derived multilateration. The Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University's College of Engineering recognized this dissertation research with the Paul E. Torgersen Graduate Student Research Excellence Award. / Ph.

Assessment scheme for product and production flexibility – An industrial case study

Beibl, Julia, Krause, Dieter 09 October 2024 (has links)
Volatile markets and the integration of products into cyber physical systems state new challenges for companies. Especially products with long development times are more difficult to design since the quality of market forecasts decreases and the rate of change increases. It becomes necessary to continuously develop products and implement smaller changes according to current market trends to keep them attractive and remain able to offer them at a competitive price. To manage the challenging market development, companies need to increase their flexibility. Therefore, the product family and the production system must be redesigned together to facilitate the implementation of unpredictable product changes in the product family and the corresponding production system. This paper presents a case study conducted at a German car manufacturer, which is used to derive criteria for the comparison of modular product concepts in terms of flexibility from a product development and production perspective.

Thermomechanical Real-Time Hybrid Simulation: Development and Execution for Lunar Habitats

Herta Montoya (20379483) 05 December 2024 (has links)
<p dir="ltr">To establish a long-term human presence on the Moon, it is necessary to have habitat systems that function effectively under challenging conditions and have sufficient autonomous technologies for fault detection and intervention. However, evaluating these habitats presents challenges due to their pervasive interdependencies and the harsh environmental conditions they must withstand. Thus, innovative testing techniques are vital to understanding and capturing the complexities these systems will encounter. </p><p dir="ltr">Thermomechanical real-time hybrid simulation (RTHS) provides unique opportunities to observe realistic behaviors and interdependencies, train models, test ideas, and validate methods. It is a cost-effective and accessible cyber-physical testing method that allows for the simultaneous experimental and computational modeling of systems, offering a comprehensive observation of their behavior under extreme dynamic conditions. This dissertation presents the development and experimental validation of a novel thermomechanical RTHS method to assess the multi-physics response of lunar habitat systems due to disruptive events. It outlines the conceptual framework, modeling approaches, and experimental considerations crucial to establishing the two-way coupling between a numerical and a physical subsystem through an innovative thermal transfer system. </p><p dir="ltr">The thermal transfer system utilizes a thermal actuator to impose distributed thermal loads on the experimental subsystem. The thermal actuator is identified considering switching-mode continuous dynamics for cooling and heating conditions. A switching control system is then developed to experimentally enforce the desired thermal conditions across different thermal cycles with minimum tracking error, adjusting the gains of the controller in response to varying temperature conditions. Furthermore, this dissertation demonstrates how to establish control and performance requirements for RTHS methods to effectively evaluate the realization of interface boundary conditions and determine acceptance criteria to perform RTHS tests with high confidence. </p><p dir="ltr">The RTHS method is experimentally implemented and validated through a series of scenario tests that simulate the cascading thermomechanical effects on a lunar habitat after a micrometeorite impact that damages its structural protective layer.

Thus, using switching dynamic modeling, the RTHS problem formulation is designed to have numerical damage and repair capabilities, allowing interaction with these fault detection and intervention methods. The scenario results obtained through thermomechanical RTHS reveal behaviors and interactions that are not captured through purely numerical simulation or traditional experimental approaches. Through the experimental implementation of these scenario case studies, the thermomechanical RTHS method developed is the first of its kind to experimentally execute the effects of damage and repair intervention strategies in real-time on a numerical subsystem while simultaneously imposing the cascading effects on a physical specimen. </p><p dir="ltr">The findings of this dissertation advance our knowledge and offer insights into developing cost-effective and accessible cyber-physical methods to test novel ideas and technologies, thereby empowering and supporting space resilience and autonomy research. </p>

Framtidens industri: Från visionen Industri 4.0 idag till verkligheten imorgon : En fallstudie på HordaGruppen AB

Ekelöf, Alexander, Stålring, Mikaela January 2016 (has links)
Företags framtid ligger i dess egna händer; beroende på hur väl de anpassar sig till nya förutsättningar i alla dess former så kommer vissa att överleva medan andra går i graven. Under flera hundra år har utvecklingen inom industrin medfört att företag kommit och gått. Idag står vi enligt flera inför randen till en ny teknisk era med en fjärde industriell revolution som följd, Industri 4.0. Vi har en evolution mot en mer automatiserad tillverkningsindustri där allt fler moment sker utan en människas händer bakom spakarna. Industri 4.0 ses av många som en vision om hur framtiden kommer att se ut inom tillverkningsindustrin. Många av de idéer samt teknik som finns inom denna vision går att ta del av redan idag och möjligheterna till att förbereda sig för framtiden finns redan och det gäller att så snabbt som möjligt börja ställa om för detta. I takt med att industrin och dess konkurrens förändras kommer kraven på kvalité öka samtidigt som tillverkningen måste blir mer resurseffektiv. Området är mycket viktigt att belysa då det är ett nytt område där det tidigare inte skett mycket forskning. Att belysa detta område kan även komma att inspirera andra till ytterligare studier inom området och främja utvecklingen för fler företag än endast fallföretaget i denna studie: HordaGruppen. Syftet med studien har varit att inledningsvis få en förståelse för vilka tankar och idéer om framtiden som finns inom industrin idag för att senare kunna testa lösningar baserade på dessa idéer på några befintliga problem inom HordaGruppen, vars verksamhet finns inom plastindustrin. Lösningarna kan ses som de första stegen mot Industri 4.0 för att underlätta för företaget ifråga inför en framtida utveckling och ger även företaget möjlighet att börja samla in data kring processen, vilket i framtiden ger företag som HordaGruppen en fördel gentemot konkurrenter som påbörjar sin omställning senare. Utgångspunkten för studien har varit en kvalitativ studie med aktionsforskning och fallstudie som angreppsätt. Fallstudien har utförts genom en intervju med John Lejon, affärsutvecklare på HordaGruppen och en öppen diskussion med produktionsledare Valdet Berisha angående maskinen som är fokuserad på. Data till studien har erhållits genom artiklar skrivna inom området samt en intervju med grundaren till ett stort statligt projekt i Tyskland, Philipp Ramin, där de startat ett innovationscentrum för Industri 4.0. Resultatet i rapporten är att med hjälp av dagens teknik går det att ta de första stegen mot visionen Industri 4.0. All teknik finns självklart inte, men med hjälp av den teknik som finns idag kan olika företag inom tillverkningsindustrin dra fördelar av att starta omställningen mot Industri 4.0 redan idag. / The future of industry is in companies own hands. Today we are going to a more automated manufacturing industry where human beings are less involved and it is more crucial than ever before to adapt to new changes in the industry and technology. Internet of things and cyber physical systems are becoming a bigger part of our lives. This case study on HordaGruppen is focused on how HordaGruppen from the plastic industry can develop with some ideas from the vision Industry 4.0 in order to ensure the quality of the product. Most of the technology needed for Industry 4.0 is available today and there is no reason not to start using it. The study will introduce to Industry 4.0 and the basic ideas that the vision stands for and then try to define and solve some problems within one machine in one of their plants. The results presented in this study shows that using sensors and other technology available today you can take the first steps towards Industry 4.0.

Intégration de modèles de réseaux IP à un multi-modèle DEVS, pour la co-simulation de systèmes cyber-physiques / Integration of IP network models to DEVS multi-models, for cyber-physical system co-simulations

Vaubourg, Julien 25 April 2017 (has links)
Modéliser et simuler (M&S) un système cyber-physique (SCP) peut nécessiter de représenter des éléments provenant de trois domaines d'expertise à la fois : systèmes physiques, systèmes d'informations et réseaux de communication (IP). Le simulateur universel disposant de toutes les compétences nécessaires n'existant pas, il est possible de regrouper des modèles issus des différentes communautés, à l'aide d'un multi-modèle. Les défis sont alors 1) intégrer toute l'hétérogénéité du multi-modèle (formalismes, représentations, implémentations), 2) intégrer des modèles IP de façon à ce qu'ils soient en capacité de représenter le transport de données applicatives produites par des modèles externes et 3) les intégrer de façon à ce qu'ils puissent se compléter, pour représenter ensemble les réseaux IP parfois hétérogènes d'un SCP. Pour parvenir à répondre à ces défis, nous nous inscrivons dans la continuité des travaux de M&S autour de MECSYCO, une plateforme de co-simulation basée sur la notion de wrapping DEVS. Nous proposons de définir un cadre général pour réussir à wrapper en DEVS des modèles IP, avec 1) une structuration des différents niveaux de problèmes pour l'intégration de modèles IP dans une co-simulation (délimitation des objectifs et contraintes du wrapping), et 2) une proposition de stratégie de wrapping DEVS de modèles IP et leurs simulateurs. Nous évaluerons notre approche à travers la démonstration de l'intégration de deux simulateurs IP populaires, et d'exemples concrets de M&S de SCP (avec notamment une interconnexion de modèles entre NS-3 et OMNeT++/INET, et une application industrielle utilisée par EDF R&D) / Modeling and simulation (M&S) of cyber-physical systems (CPS) can require representing components from three expertise fields: physics, information systems, and communication networks (IP). There is no universal simulator with all of the required skills, but we can gather and interconnect models provided by the communities, with a multi-model. The challenges are 1) integrating all heterogeneities in a multi-model (formalisms, representations, implementations), 2) integrating IP models in a way enabling them to represent the transport of application data produced by external models, and 3) integrating IP models in a way enabling them to complete each other, to be able to represent CPS heterogeneous IP networks. In order to meet these challenges, we relied our solution on the works around MECSYCO, a co-simulation platform based on the DEVS wrapping principle. We propose to define a comprehensive framework enabling to achieve DEVS wrapping of IP models, with 1) a structuration of different issue levels when integrating IP models in a co-simulation (goals and constraints of the wrapping) and 2) a proposition of a DEVS wrapping strategy for IP models and their simulators. We propose some evaluations of our approach, through the integration of two popular IP simulators, and concrete examples of CPS M&S (inter alia, with an example of a models interconnection between NS-3 and OMNeT++/INET, and an industrial application used by EDF R&D)
