Trusted Computing for Critical Information Infrastructures - T(CI)2
Invited Session in the 4th IISA Conference,
July 10-12, 2013, Piraeus, Greece -- http://iisa2013.unipi.gr/tci
Background
----------
Critical Information Infrastructures (CIIs) are complex systems
including both cyber (control) and physical (operational) components.
The proper control, connectivity and interoperability of CIIs are vital
for the normal operation, safety and security of major facilities and
services such as energy, water provision, ICT, financial services and
transportation.
However, the need for remote access and control, the provision of
e/m-services that are accessible through the Internet and the
dependencies between CIIs exposes them to various threats, while their
distributed nature makes them subject to hardware, software and
human-behavior vulnerabilities. Possible cyber attacks against CIIs may
lead to severe impact due to service unavailability (e.g. via DoS and
DDoS attacks), unauthorized access and data exposure and/or modification
(e.g. via worms, viruses and drive-by exploits) or unauthorized
administration (e.g. via hidden Command & Control channels, botnets and
rootkits).
Our goal is to bring together academic and industrial researchers,
designers, and service providers focusing on Critical Information
Infrastructure Protection during normal or emergency operation modes.
Emphasis will be given to cyber security technologies, architectures,
controls and policies that create a Trusted Computing Environment, in
order to provide trustworthy and reliable Critical Information
Infrastructures.
