CT-CS: Trustworthy Cyber Infrastructure for the Power Grid

摘要提案编号：0524695标题：CT-CS：电网的可信赖网络基础设施PI：William H。今天的生活质量取决于国家电力基础设施的持续运作，而电力基础设施又取决于底层计算和通信网络基础设施的健康状况，这些基础设施面临着恶意网络攻击和意外故障的严重风险。这项Cyber Trust中心规模的活动解决了如何为下一代电网设计、构建和验证网络基础设施的挑战，这些基础设施可以在提供持续电力输送的同时抵御恶意网络攻击。 由于电力系统网络基础设施的限制和脆弱性与许多其他关键基础设施系统所面临的限制和脆弱性相似，因此所创建的解决方案预计也适用于这些系统。 因此，这项研究将对未来电网的网络基础设施和其他关键基础设施的建设方式产生重大影响，使其更加安全，可靠和安全。更具体地说，这项研究创造了基础设施技术，该技术将在部分成功的网络攻击和意外故障的情况下向电网系统运营商传达关键信息。安全和信任验证技术的开发，可以量化的可信度的建议设计的关键属性。 该活动的教育计划为网络信任问题的学生提供了一个综合的本科生和研究生经验，包括在跨学科团队工作和了解行业的实际问题。该项目创建的交互式模拟器将允许用户试验新的电网网络基础设施设计方法。

ABSTRACTProposal Number: 0524695Title: CT-CS: Trustworthy Cyber Infrastructure for the Power GridPI: William H. SandersToday's quality of life depends on the continuous functioning of the nation's electric power infrastructure, which depends in turn on the health of an underlying computing and communication network infrastructure that is at serious risk both from malicious cyber attacks and accidental failures. This Cyber Trust center-scale activity addresses the challenge of how to design, build, and validate a cyber infrastructure for the next generation power grid that can survive malicious cyber attacks while providing continuous power delivery. Since the constraints and vulnerabilities of the power system cyber infrastructure are similar to those faced by many other critical infrastructure systems, the solutions created are expected to be adaptable for use in those systems as well. The activity will thus have a significant impact on the way the cyber infrastructure of the future power grid and other critical infrastructures are built, making them more secure, reliable, and safe.More specifically, this research creates infrastructure technology that will convey critical information to grid system operators despite partially successful cyber attacks and accidental failures. Security and trust validation techniques are developed that can quantify the trustworthiness of a proposed design with respect to critical properties. The activity's educational program provides an integrated undergraduate and graduate experience for students of Cyber Trust issues, including working on cross-disciplinary teams and understanding practical concerns of industry. An interactive simulator created by the project will allow users to experiment with new power grid cyber-infrastructure design approaches.
