Toward Safe Integration of Legacy SCADA Systems in the Smart Grid. (arXiv:2107.05863v2 [cs.CR] UPDATED)

A SCADA system is a distributed network of cyber-physical devices used for
instrumentation and control of critical infrastructures such as an electric
power grid. With the emergence of the smart grid, SCADA systems are
increasingly required to be connected to more open systems and security becomes
crucial. However, many of these SCADA systems have been deployed for decades
and were initially not designed with security in mind. In particular, the field
devices in these systems are vulnerable to false command …
