“…There is a diverse body of literature which studies the modeling of ICS processes using Matlab, Modelica, and Ptolemy simulation tools with simulated network models using ns2, OMNet++,SSFnet [10][11][12][13][14][15][16].These approaches are low fidelity with the use of virtual devices. For the purpose of cyber security testing and evaluation for ICS systems, model-based experiments offer a richer class of scenarios.…”

This paper begins with a discussion of the role and value of industrial control system (ICS) testbed which apply a universal, controllable, realistic, and repeatable experimental platform to SCADA control system cybersecurity research. According to ICS layered architecture, ICS testbed based on emulation, physical, and simulation (EPS-ICS Testbed) is designed and implemented. EPS-ICS Testbed enables experimenters to create experiments with varying levels of fidelity and is widely used in vulnerability digging, comprehensive security training, facilitate development of security standards, develop advanced control system architectures and technologies that are more secure and robust.

These approaches are sufficient to study NCS performance under unreliable communication networks with delay, jitter, and packet loss.…”

Numerous efforts are underway to develop testing and experimentation tools to evaluate the performance of networked control systems (NCS) and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems. These tools offer varying levels of fidelity and scale. Yet, researchers lack an experimentation framework for systematic testing and evaluation of NCS reliability and security under a wide range of failure scenarios. In this paper, we propose a modular experimentation framework that integrates the NCS semantics with the DETERLab cyber security experimentation facilities. We develop several attack scenarios with realistic network topology and network traffic configurations to evaluate the impact of denial of service (DoS) attacks on scalar linear systems. We characterize the impact of the attack dynamics on six plants located at various levels in a hierarchical topology. Our results suggest that emulation-based evaluations can provide novel insights about the network-induced security and reliability failures in large scale NCS.

“…This toolbox offers the TrueTime kernel block which allows the simulation of the resource sharing policies on a computer node and several blocks modeling network protocols as the TrueTime wireless network block which simulates the physical and medium access control layer (MAC) of wireless network. TrueTime does not support as many protocols or MAC or higher layer protocols (at network, transport OSI layer, for example) as NS-2, but it is really seen as a promising tool for co-simulation of WSAN [26]. As a conclusion, Matlab/Simulink, thanks to the TrueTime toolbox and the Matlab Target Compiler is a good candidate to achieve all the requirements defined in the introduction, this will be the basis of the proposed Samovar framework.…”
