Making (implicit) security requirements explicit for cyber-physical systems: A maritime use case security analysis
The increased connectivity of critical maritime infrastructure (CMI) systems to digital networks have raised concerns of their vulnerability to cyber attacks. As less emphasis has been placed, to date, on ensuring security of cyber-physical maritime systems, mitigating these cyber attacks will require the design and engineering of secure maritime infrastructure systems. Systems theory has been shown to provide the foundation for a disciplined approach to engineering secure cyber-physical systems. In this paper, we use systems theory, and concepts adapted from safety analysis, to develop a systematic mechanism for analysing the security functionalities of assets' interactions in the maritime domain. We use the theory to guide us to discern the system's requirement, likely system losses, potential threats, and to construct system constraints needed to inhibit or mitigate these threats. Our analyses can be used as springboards to a set of principles to help enunciate the assumptions and system-level security requirements useful as the bases for systems' security validation and verification.

Abstract

The increased connectivity of critical maritime infrastructure (CMI) systems to digital networks have raised concerns of their vulnerability to cyber attacks. As less emphasis has been placed, to date, on ensuring security of cyber-physical maritime systems, mitigating these cyber attacks will require the design and engineering of secure maritime infrastructure systems. Systems theory has been shown to provide the foundation for a disciplined approach to engineering secure cyber-physical systems. In this paper, we use systems theory, and concepts adapted from safety analysis, to develop a systematic mechanism for analysing the security functionalities of assets' interactions in the maritime domain. We use the theory to guide us to discern the system's requirement, likely system losses, potential threats, and to construct system constraints needed to inhibit or mitigate these threats. Our analyses can be used as springboards to a set of principles to help enunciate the assumptions and system-level security requirements useful as the bases for systems' security validation and verification.
