Runtime Semantic Analysis

We enhance Zeek network traffic analyzer to detect control-related attacks in power systems that can directly cause physical damage:

  • Adapt Zeek (originally known as Bro), an open-source runtime network analyzer, to support the communication protocols used power systems
  • Use the transition of physical states to detect malicious commands by integrating power flow analysis with network monitoring
  • Design an adaptive power flow analysis algorithm to balance detection latency and accuracy
