Abstract

Securing SCADA systems against cyber-attackers is one of the most important elements of critical infrastructure protection. It requires specific techniques different from those used by IT systems. This paper proposes a new approach to secure the IEC 60870-5-101 SCADA transmission protocols against external cyber-attacks targeting cooperate network segments, especially passive attacks and modification and fabrication attacks. Our approach is based on using a new real-time perfect secrecy crypt-system implementation to secure T-101 frames.
