Title: Modeling and simulation for cyber-physical system security research, development and applications.

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1028942· OSTI ID:1028942

This paper describes a new hybrid modeling and simulation architecture developed at Sandia for understanding and developing protections against and mitigations for cyber threats upon control systems. It first outlines the challenges to PCS security that can be addressed using these technologies. The paper then describes Virtual Control System Environments (VCSE) that use this approach and briefly discusses security research that Sandia has performed using VCSE. It closes with recommendations to the control systems security community for applying this valuable technology.
