Simulation and modelling of cyberattacks on public infrastructures

All future technologies will rely more than ever before on energy, telecommunications, and transportation networks. Smart meters provide greater control of energy usage by customers but at the same time makes the whole energy supply network vulnerable to attacks by false data injection via smart meters. Diversity of energy sources, wind, solar, waves, optical reflectors, will help in protecting our environment, but each additional supply source brings with it more openings for cyberattacks. The electricity supply network in the USA has come under cyberattacks many times in the recent years and it is the sprawling network with 100s of suppliers, distributors, billing agencies, novel usages like electric car charging points and customers supplying energy to the network, that has some role in unwittingly facilitating these attacks In this project you will learn about how to simulate cyberattacks on electricity networks using standard network configurations provided by IEEE and how to protect against these attacks possibly using blockchain technology You are expected to build a system that simulates and fends off a cyberattack.
