A Method of Conflict Detection for Cooperative Defense Strategy in Power Industrial Control System

With the increasingly rampancy of network attacks and the steady progress of the national smart grid construction, the security protection of the power industrial control system is facing severe challenges. It is an effective means to improve the overall defense capability of the power industrial control system by formulating the security collaborative defense strategy and dynamically configuring the relevant equipment to make them have linkage response. For this purpose, a method of conflict detection for cooperative defense strategy in power industrial control system is proposed in this paper. Based on the formal description of cooperative defense strategy, the type of policy conflicts is analyzed according to the relationship between policy actions and system states. And the policy execution is simulated for detecting conflict by establishing the temporal relationship between policy actions. The experimental results show that this method can reduce the dependence on the system administrator, and can quickly and accurately find the conflicts in the collaborative defense strategy.
