A survey of SCADA test bed
Abstract
The proliferation of computer network technology in Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) makes security issues more and more prominent. In order to protect the SCADA system, researchers should analyse potential vulnerabilities and propose relevant solutions to deal with malicious attacks. However, it is difficult to evaluate the abilities of the secure solutions being developed, because most research institutes lack modelling tools. Thus, building a SCADA test bed is indispensable to carry out some necessary experiments for evaluating those solutions before deployment. Relevant experiments can be conducted with such test beds. This paper analyses the construction schemes of the SCADA test beds proposed and shows the components and protocols used to construct such test beds. We also describe a series of attack experiments and mitigation strategies. Finally, we give the future directions in this research field.

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.
