Abstract
Many of existing techniques for improving resilience can be divided into three canonical approaches: (1) Redundancy, which aims at deploying additional redundant components in a system, (2) diversity, for implementing the components of a system using a diverse set of component types, and (3) hardening, for reinforcing the individual components or component types in a system. Many methods based on these approaches haven been developed, however, in order to mitigate the diverse threats posed by attacks to CPS, we must combine them. While it is possible to combine these approaches easily by designing and implementing them independently, we can significantly improve the resilience of a system by designing and implementing them in an integrated manner. The presentation will provide methods for analyzing, designing, and integrating resilience methods based on redundancy, diversity, and hardening. Water distribution and transportation systems are used to illustrate the approach.
