Network Control Systems Security - This study focuses on the stability issue of network control systems (NCSs) under possible hybrid attacks (HAs), which has important research value in network security. Firstly, the HAs method of deception cyber attacks (CAs) and random CAs are studied, which broadly consider the complexity of the types of attacks. Secondly, a novel time-delay-product boundary looped function (BLF) is developed, fully considering the delay and sampling information. In addition, the initial constraints of the criterion on the matrices are effectively relaxed. Then, a new dynamic memory sample data (DMSD) controller under HAs is constructed to control the asymptotical stable (AS) of NCSs. Finally, a numerical experiment is presented to verify the correctness and feasibility of the theory.

Network Control Systems Security - The huge advantages of cloud computing technology and the bottlenecks in the development of traditional network control systems have prompted the birth of cloud control systems to address the shortcomings of traditional network control systems in terms of bandwidth and performance. However, the information security issues faced by cloud control systems are more complex, and distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks are a typical class of attacks that may lead to problems such as latency in cloud control systems and seriously affect the performance of cloud control systems. In this paper, we build a single-capacity water tank cloud control semi-physical simulation system with heterogeneous controllers and propose a DDoS attack detection method for cloud control systems based on bidirectional long short-term memory neural network (BiLSTM), study the impact of DDoS attacks on cloud control systems. The experimental results show that the BiLSTM algorithm can effectively detect the DDoS attack on the cloud control system.

Network Control Systems Security - This paper is concerned with the observer-based control design for a continuous linear networked control systems under denial of service attacks. In order to save network communication resources, a new flexible event-triggered control strategy is designed on the premise that denial of service attacks are power-limited pulse width modulation interference. Considering this influence of denial of service attacks on event-triggered state, the maximum system performance lost is calculated. The sufficient conditions of system stability are derived by using the Lyapunov functional method. The constructive design of the controller is expressed in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Finally, the theoretical results are verified by a simulation example.

Network Control Systems Security - Plaintext transmission is the major way of communication in the existing security and stability control (SSC) system of power grid. Such type of communication is easy to be invaded, camouflaged and hijacked by a third party, leading to a serious threat to the safe and stable operation of power system. Focusing on the communication security in SSC system, the authors use asymmetric encryption algorithm to encrypt communication messages, to generate random numbers through random noise of electrical quantities, and then use them to generate key pairs needed for encryption, at the same time put forward a set of key management mechanism for engineering application. In addition, the field engineering test is performed to verify that the proposed encryption method and management mechanism can effectively improve the communication in SSC system while ensuring the high-speed and reliable communication.

Network on Chip Security - With the advancements in VLSI technology, Tiled Chip Multicore Processors (TCMP) with packet switched Network-on-Chip (NoC) have emerged as the backbone of the modern data intensive parallel multi-core systems. Tight timeto-market and cost constraints have forced chip manufacturers to use third-party IPs in sophisticated TCMP designs. This dependence over third party IPs has instigated security vulnerabilities in inter-tile communication that cannot be detected at manufacturing and testing phases. This includes possibility of having malicious circuits like Hardware Trojans (HT). NoC is the likely target of HT insertion due to its significance and positional advantage from system and communication standpoints. Recent research shows that HTs can manipulate control fields of NoC packets and leads to dead flit attacks that has the potential to disrupt the on-chip communication resulting in application level stalling. In this paper, we propose run time detection of such dead flit attacks by analyzing packet movement behaviours. We also propose a cost effective mitigation mechanism by re-routing the packets around the HT infected router. Our experimental study with real benchmarks on 8x8 mesh TCMP evaluates the effectiveness of the proposed solution.

Network on Chip Security - Due to the increasing complexity of modern heterogeneous System-on-Chips (SoC) and the growing vulnerabilities, security risk assessment and quantification is required to measure the trustworthiness of a SoC. This paper describes a systematic approach to model the security risk of a system for malicious hardware attacks. The proposed method uses graph analysis to assess the impact of an attack and the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) is used to quantify the security level of the system. To demonstrate the applicability of the proposed metric, we consider two open source SoC benchmarks with different architectures. The overall risk is calculated using the proposed metric by computing the exploitability and impact of attack on critical components of a SoC.

Network on Chip Security - In recent times, Network-on-Chip (NoC) has become state of the art for communication in Multiprocessor Systemon-Chip due to the existing scalability issues in this area. However, these systems are exposed to security threats such as extraction of secret information. Therefore, the need for secure communication arises in such environments. In this work, we present a communication protocol based on authenticated encryption with recovery mechanisms to establish secure end-to-end communication between the NoC nodes. In addition, a selected key agreement approach required for secure communication is implemented. The security functionality is located in the network adapter of each processing element. If data is tampered with or deleted during transmission, recovery mechanisms ensure that the corrupted data is retransmitted by the network adapter without the need of interference from the processing element. We simulated and implemented the complete system with SystemC TLM using the NoC simulation platform PANACA. Our results show that we can keep a high rate of correctly transmitted information even when attackers infiltrated the NoC system.

Network on Chip Security - Without secure wrappers, it is impossible to protect the integrity of embedded IP cores for NoC-based SoC. This paper describes an IEEE 1500 compatible secure test wrapper NoC based on low-cost PUF circuit. The original key generated by LFSR is encrypted into a stream cipher by the PUF module, and the input key string should be equal to this cryptograph unless the wrapper is locked, which provides effective on-line authentication.

Network on Chip Security - This paper designs a network security protection system based on artificial intelligence technology from two aspects of hardware and software. The system can simultaneously collect Internet public data and secret-related data inside the unit, and encrypt it through the TCM chip solidified in the hardware to ensure that only designated machines can read secret-related materials. The data edgecloud collaborative acquisition architecture based on chip encryption can realize the cross-network transmission of confidential data. At the same time, this paper proposes an edge-cloud collaborative information security protection method for industrial control systems by combining endaddress hopping and load balancing algorithms.

Network on Chip Security - Soft real-time applications, including multimedia, gaming, and smart appliances, rely on specific architectural characteristics to deliver output in a time-constrained fashion. Any violation of application deadlines can lower the Quality-of-Service (QoS). The data sets associated with these applications are distributed over cores that communicate via Network-on-Chip (NoC) in multi-core systems. Accordingly, the response time of such applications depends on the worst-case latency of request/reply packets. A malicious implant such as Hardware Trojan (HT) that initiates a delay-of-service attack can tamper with the system performance. We model an HT that mounts a time-delay attack in the system by violating the path selection strategy used by the adaptive NoC router. Our analysis shows that once activated, the proposed HT increases the packet latency by 17\% and degrades the system performance (IPC) by 18\% over the Baseline. Furthermore, we propose an HT detection framework that uses packet traffic analysis and path monitoring to localise the HT. Experiment results show that the proposed detection framework exhibits 4.8\% less power consumption and 6.4\% less area than the existing technique.

Network on Chip Security - IoT technology is finding new applications every day and everywhere in our daily lives. With that, come new use cases with new challenges in terms of device and data security. One of such challenges arises from the fact that many IoT devices/nodes are no longer being deployed on owners’ premises, but rather on public or private property other than the owner’s. With potential physical access to the IoT node, adversaries can launch many attacks that circumvent conventional protection methods. In this paper, we propose Secure SoC (SecSoC), a secure system-on-chip architecture that mitigates such attacks. This include logical memory dump attacks, bus snooping attacks, and compromised operating systems. SecSoC relies on two main mechanisms, (1) providing security extensions to the compute engine that runs the user application without changing its instruction set, (2) adding a security management unit (SMU) that provide HW security primitives for encryption, hashing, random number generators, and secrets store (keys, certificates, etc.). SecSoC ensures that no secret or sensitive data can leave the SoC IC in plaintext. SecSoC is being implemented in Bluespec SystemVerilog. The experimental results will reveal the area, power, and cycle time overhead of these security extensions. Overall performance (total execution time) will also be evaluated using IoT benchmarks.

Network on Chip Security - The Network-on-Chip (NoC) is the communication heart in Multiprocessors System-on-Chip (MPSoC). It offers an efficient and scalable interconnection platform, which makes it a focal point of potential security threats. Due to outsourcing design, the NoC can be infected with a malicious circuit, known as Hardware Trojan (HT), to leak sensitive information or degrade the system’s performance and function. An HT can form a security threat by consciously dropping packets from the NoC, structuring a Black Hole Router (BHR) attack. This paper presents an end-to-end secure interconnection network against the BHR attack. The proposed scheme is energy-efficient to detect the BHR in runtime with 1\% and 2\% average throughput and energy consumption overheads, respectively.

Network on Chip Security - Coarse-Grained Reconfigurable Arrays (CGRA) implemented using FPGA are widely applied due to the portability and compatibility. As an evolvable hardware (EHW) platform, it also faces hardware security problems, among which hardware Trojans (HTs) is the most prominent threat. HTs are malicious hardware components. Once implanted in the route units (RUs) of the network-on-chip (NoC) in CGRA, it will leak confidential information or destroy the entire system. However, few studies have focused on HT mitigation in RUs of NoC in CGRA. To this end, we present an evolutionary algorithm (EA)-based method to mitigate HT attacks in NoC of CGRA. Specifically, we employ the EA to explore generating the circuit structures that do not contain HT-infected RUs. In the simulation experiments built using Python, this paper reports the experimental results for two target evolutionary circuits in NoC and outlines the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Network Intrusion Detection - Aiming at the problems of low detection accuracy, high false detection rate and high missed detection rate of traditional Intelligent Substation (I-S) secondary system network Intrusion Detection (I-D) methods, a semantic enhanced network I-D method for I-S secondary system is proposed. First of all, through the analysis of the secondary system network of I-S and the existing security risks, the information network security protection architecture is built based on network I-D. Then, the overall structure of I-S secondary network I-D is constructed by integrating CNN and BiLSTM. Finally, the semantic analysis of Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) is introduced to enhance the network I-D model, which greatly improves the detection accuracy. The proposed method is compared with the other two methods under the same conditions through simulation experiments. The results show that the detection accuracy of the proposed method is the highest (95.02\%) in the face of 10 different types of attack traffic, and the false detection rate and missed detection rate are the lowest (1.3\% and 3.8\% respectively). The algorithm performance is better than the other three comparison algorithms.

Network Intrusion Detection - With the continuous development of deep learning technology, the phenolic model of intrusion detection based on deep learning has become a research hotspot. Traditional network attack detection mainly relies on static rules to detect network behavior, so it is difficult to dynamically adapt to the continuous development of network attacks. While deep learning technology is more and more used in the field of security, the text is based on deep learning classification network to design intrusion detection classification model. The appropriate data processing technology is used to preprocess the original intrusion data, and the processed data is used to train the network model. Finally, the performance of the model is tested to achieve high classification accuracy.

Network Intrusion Detection - Intrusion detection is important in the defense in depth network security framework and a hot topic in computer network security in recent years. In this paper, an effective method for anomaly intrusion detection with low overhead and high efficiency is presented and applied to monitor the abnormal behavior of processes. The method is based on rough set theory and capable of extracting a set of detection rules with the minimum size to form a normal behavior model from the record of system call sequences generated during the normal execution of a process. Based on the network security knowledge base system, this paper proposes an intrusion detection model based on the network security knowledge base system, including data filtering, attack attempt analysis and situation assessment engine. In this model, evolutionary self organizing mapping is used to discover multi - target attacks of the same origin; The association rules obtained by time series analysis method are used to correlate online alarm events to identify complex attacks scattered in time; Finally, the corresponding evaluation indexes and corresponding quantitative evaluation methods are given for host level and LAN system level threats respectively. Compared with the existing IDS, this model has a more complete structure, richer knowledge available, and can more easily find cooperative attacks and effectively reduce the false positive rate.

Intrusion detection is an effective means to assist in network malicious traffic detection and maintain network stability; to meet the ever-changing demand for network traffic identification, intrusion detection models have undergone a transformation from traditional intrusion detection models to machine learning intrusion detection models to deep intrusion detection models. The efficiency and superiority of deep learning have been proven in fields such as image processing, but there are still some problems in the field of network security intrusion detection: the models are not targeted when processing data, the models have poor generalization ability, etc. The combinatorial neural network proposed in this paper can effectively propose a solution to the problems of existing models, and the CL-IDS model proposed in this paper has a better performance on the KDDCUP99 dataset as demonstrated by relevant experiments.
