WADI: a water distribution testbed for research in the design of secure cyber physical systems

Abstract

The architecture of a water distribution testbed (WADI), and on-going research in the design of secure water distribution system is presented. WADI consists of three stages controlled by Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and two stages controlled via Remote Terminal Units (RTUs). Each PLC and RTU uses sensors to estimate the system state and the actuators to effect control. WADI is currently used to (a) conduct security analysis for water distribution networks, (b) experimentally assess detection mechanisms for potential cyber and physical attacks, and (c) understand how the impact of an attack on one CPS could cascade to other connected CPSs. The cascading effects of attacks can be studied in WADI through its connection to two other testbeds, namely for water treatment and power generation and distribution.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
