SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) System was first introduced to the Seoul Electricity Authority, which manages the transportation part among the three business fields that produce, transport and supply electric power in Korea. Has been using the data link with 1200 bps and 9600 bps in 5 protocols such as HARRIS 6000, BSC, HDLC, L & N and Toshiba by configuring 3 layers of EMS, SCADA and RTU computer equipments in 1: N radial form. This paper presents the OSI standard network packet flow, analyzing DataLink and Network Layer, and presents a KEPCO SCADA network model composed of X.25 high - speed communication network using 3 layers of network. We proposed a future SCADA communication structure that improved the current SCADA communication structure, defined the SCADA DB structure, introduced the concept of the remote SCADA gateway to the SCADA functional structure, applied the standard communication protocol, Multiplexing of surveillance and control in other local facilities and ensuring communication openness.

The importance of communication security is increased in the power industry. The representative communication network of power industry is the SCADA(Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems. The SCADA system has been used for remote measurement and control in the power industry. Recently, many studies of SCADA network security have been carried out around the world. In this paper, we introduce recent security issues in the SCADA network and propose the application of a symmetric encryption method to the Korea SCADA network.

SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) SCADA refers to the combination of telemetry and data acquisition [1]. SCADA system has been used for remote measurement and control on the critical infrastructures as well as modem industrial facilities. Electric Power system is a representative system using SCADA network for its communication. Integration between many networks and increasing threatens of terrorism have made the potential risk by cyber attacks real and bigger in power system. Recently, many researching efforts have been made on SCADA network for improving its security. In general aspect, there are already several ways to secure the system like encryption, firewall, authentication, etc. In this paper, we focus on symmetric encryption method and propose the proper key distribution method to reflect the unique characteristics of SCADA network communication.

The existing data transmission technology applied between the non-secure external internet and the secure internal business network has various problems when applied to the building facility management SCADA system control network. Traditional inter-network data transfer technologies involve high complexity and high costs because blacklist-based security techniques are applied to all data. However, whitelist-based security techniques can be applied to data distributed in Building Facility Management SCADA control systems because a small number of structured control data are repeatable and periodic. This simplifies the security technology applied to inter-network data transmission, enabling building facility management SCADA system control network deployment at low cost. In this paper, we proposed building control networks specialized in building facility management SCADA control systems by providing solutions to address and address these problems.

The authentication technologies used to access computers in both IT and operational technology (OT) network areas include ID/PW, public certificate, and OTP. These authentication technologies can be seen as reflecting the nature of the business-driven IT network. The same authentication technologies is used in SCADA control networks where the operational technology is centered. However, these authentication technologies do not reflect the characteristics of the OT control network environment, which requires strict control. In this paper, we proposed a new enhanced user authentication method suitable for the OT SCADA control network centered on control information processing, utilizing the physical terminal address and operator location information characteristics of the operator's mobile terminal and control network.

Ensuring the security of Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) is paramount to safeguarding the reliability and safety of critical infrastructure. This paper addresses the significant threat posed by reconnaissance attacks on SCADA/ICS networks and presents an innovative methodology for enhancing their protection. The proposed approach strategically employs imbalance dataset handling techniques, ensemble methods, and feature engineering to enhance the resilience of SCADA/ICS systems. Experimentation and analysis demonstrate the compelling efficacy of our strategy, as evidenced by excellent model performance characterized by good precision, recall, and a commendably low false negative (FN). The practical utility of our approach is underscored through the evaluation of real-world SCADA/ICS datasets, showcasing superior performance compared to existing methods in a comparative analysis. Moreover, the integration of feature augmentation is revealed to significantly enhance detection capabilities. This research contributes to advancing the security posture of SCADA/ICS environments, addressing a critical imperative in the face of evolving cyber threats.

TETRA(TErrestrial Trunked RAdio) is the wireless communication system generally adopted to public network and backbone network, as the technology of Trunked Radio System specified by ETSI(European Telecommunications Standards Institute) and currently adopted to the Electric Power IT Backbone Network in Korea. IEC 61850 is the protocol proposed for SAS(Substation Automation System) of SCADA(Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) system. In this paper, IEC 61850 Server and Client simulator are used based on Linux operating system. The multi-functional gateway, which transforms the communication based on TCP/IP between IEC 61850 Server Simulator and Client Simulator to the one based on TETRA Packet Data Service, is developed such that IEC 61850 SCADA system is constructed based on TETRA.

The Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition Systems (SCADA) system provides monitoring, data gathering, analysis, and control of the equipment used to manage most infrastructure. The SCADA Network is implemented in a various manner for larger utilities, and multiple types of protocol and communication interfaces are used to network the control center to remote sites. The existing SCADA equipment and protocols were designed and implemented with availability and efficiency, and as a result security was not a consideration. So, performance, reliability, flexibility and safety of SCADA systems are robust, while the security of these systems is often weak. This makes some SCADA networks potentially vulnerable to disruption of service, process redirection, or manipulation of operational data that could result in public safety concerns and/or serious disruptions to the infrastructure. To reduce the risks, therefore, there is a need to have a security device such as cipher devices or cryptographic modules for security solutions. In this paper we develop an embedded cipher device for the SCADA equipment. This paper presents a cipher device designed to improve the security of its networks, especially in the serial communication.
