Abstract:

The availability of the data within the network communication remains one of the most critical requirement when compared to integrity and confidentiality. Several threats such as Denial of Service (DoS) or flooding attacks caused by Generic Object Oriented Substation Event (GOOSE) poisoning attacks, for instance, might hinder the availability of the communication within IEC 61850 substations.
To tackle such threats, a novel method for the Early Detection of Attacks for the GOOSE Network Traffic (EDA4GNeT) is developed in the present work.

Few of previously available intrusion detection systems take into account the specific features of IEC 61850 substations and offer a good trade-off between the detection performance and the detection time. Moreover, to the best of our knowledge, none of the existing works proposes an early anomaly detection method of GOOSE attacks in the network traffic of IEC 61850 substations that account for the specific characteristics of the network data in electrical substations.

The EDA4GNeT method considers the dynamic behavior of network traffic in electrical substations. The mathematical modeling of the GOOSE network traffic first enables the development of the proposed method for anomaly detection. ... mehr
