- Design and implementation of a mediation system enabling secure communication among Critical InfrastructuresPublication . Castrucci, Marco; Neri, Alessandro; Caldeira, Filipe; Aubert, Jocelyn; Khadraoui, Djamel; Aubigny, Matthieu; Harpes, Carlo; Simoes, Paulo; Suraci, Vincenzo; Capodieci, PaoloNowadays, the increase of interdependencies among different Critical Infrastructures (CI) makes it more and more difficult to protect without using a systemic approach that considers a single infrastructure as part of a complex system of infrastructures. A strong collaboration among CI owners is required to avoid, or at least to limit the propagation of failures from one infrastructure to another and to put CI in safety mode. The key element enabling this required cooperation is the possibility for them to exchange relevant information related to the status of their infrastructures and to the services provided. In this paper, we present a middleware solution that allows CIs sharing real-time information, enabling the design and implementation of fault mitigation strategies and mechanisms to prevent the cascading phenomena generated by the failure propagation from one infrastructure to another.
- Improved Resilience of Interdependent Critical Infrastructures via on-line Alerting SystemPublication . Capodieci, Paolo; Diblasi, Stefano; Ciancamerla, Ester; Minichino, Michele; Foglietta, Chiara; Lefevre, Davide; Oliva, Gabriele; Panzieri, Stefano; Setola, Roberto; De Porcellinis, Stefano; Delli Priscoli, Francesco; Castrucci, Marco; Suraci, Vincenzo; Lev, Leonid; Shneck, Yosi; Khadraoui, Djamel; Aubert, Jocelyn; Iassinovski, Serguei; Jiang, Jianmin; Simoes, Paulo; Caldeira, Filipe; Spronska, Agnieszka; Harpes, Carlo; Aubigny, MatthieuThis paper illustrates the activities under development within the FP7 EU MICIE project. The project is devoted to design and implement an on-line alerting system, able to evaluate, in real time, the level of risk of interdependent Critical Infrastructures (CIs). Such a risk is generated by undesired events and by the high level of interconnection of the different infrastructures. Heterogeneous models are under development to perform short term predictions of the Quality of Service (QoS) of each CI according to the QoS of the others, to the level of interdependency among the Infrastructures, and according to the undesired events identified in the reference scenario.
- Secure Mediation Gateway Architecture Enabling the Communication Among Critical InfrastructuresPublication . Caldeira, Filipe; Castrucci, Marco; Aubigny, Matthieu; Macone, Donato; Monteiro, Edmundo; Rente, Francisco; Simoes, Paulo; Suraci, VincenzoRepresenting one of the most technological dependencies of contemporary societies, Critical Infrastructures (CIs) have to ensure the highest security levels to be able of fulfill their duty in any circumstances. This is the main goal of MICIE (Tool for systemic risk analysis and secure mediation of data exchanged across linked CI information infrastructures) FP7 ICT-SEC project: the design and implementation of a real-time CI risk level prediction and alerting system [1]. In order to reach this objective, one of the main key challenge to be addressed is the design and the implementation of a Secure Mediation Gateway (SMGW), namely a new innovative network element able to: (i) discover CI status information, (ii) overcome information heterogeneity and (iii) provide a secure communication of such information among peer CIs. All the information discovered and collected by the SMGW are then provided to a dedicated prediction tool which is in charge of calculating a risk prediction for the CIs. This paper presents the functional architecture of the SMGW designed within the MICIE project, putting in evidence how it is possible to discover information and exchange critical information over a insecure network like Internet.
