Securing Wireless Communication in Critical Infrastructure: Challenges and Opportunities. (arXiv:2311.01338v1 [cs.NI])

Critical infrastructure constitutes the foundation of every society. While
traditionally solely relying on dedicated cable-based communication, this
infrastructure rapidly transforms to highly digitized and interconnected
systems which increasingly rely on wireless communication. Besides providing
tremendous benefits, especially affording the easy, cheap, and flexible
interconnection of a large number of assets spread over larger geographic
areas, wireless communication in critical infrastructure also raises unique
security challenges. Most importantly, the shift from dedicated private wired
networks to heterogeneous wireless communication over public …
