Abstract

The problem of resilience of Internet-oriented critical information infrastructures is not completely understood, mainly due to the hybrid composition of these infrastructures: SCADA systems; corporate intranets; Internet. Originally designed to work in a closed environment, SCADA systems became progressively open and exposed to all sorts of threats. We try to equate the problem by defining a model of modern utilities distributed systems architecture, devising adequate protection solutions such as mechanisms and protocols, and evaluating the fault/failure scenarios before and after the solutions.
