DarkNet Cyber Resilience investigates the impacts of cyber stress and its thresholds of impact on alternative timing signals for the US national energy grid.

Cyber Resilience of Alternative Timing for Energy Grids

Overview

This project is focused on performing a systematic evaluation of the impacts of cyber stress on the system. It is developing tools that enable early detection of performance issues and rapid recovery from cyber-related events. A unique advancement of the project lies in going beyond general cybersecurity vulnerabilities and exposures (CVE). This is achieved by evaluating their implications to the cyber resilience specifically with regard to precise effects on the transmission and receipt of timing signals over the complex networks connecting the timing sources to the geographically-distant subscribers.
