Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) implementation in nuclear is becoming increasingly attractive. This paper discusses the advantages and challenges of utilising FPGAs in nuclear applications, including the improved simplicity over alternative approaches. An overview of FPGAs and the development lifecycle is given. The paper examines the current approaches to meet regulatory requirements, including...
This paper presents research to examine the benefits of deploying a high interaction hardware Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control System (ICS) honeypot, as opposed to a virtualised system. The Honeypot Project successfully developed and demonstrated an innovative approach to implementing a situational awareness capability in an operational industrial control system environment. The approach...
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) [1] Nuclear Security Recommendations on Physical Protection of Nuclear Material and Nuclear Facilities guidance to sovereign states clearly establishes that the disciplines of nuclear safety and nuclear security are of equal importance. Both activities have an ultimate common purpose of protecting the public from harm. Both must be delivered in a coherent,...
Industrial Control Systems (ICS) are now routinely connected to other networks to optimise business efficiency. Designs for safety and security risk treatment measures may conflict and cannot be designed in isolation yet we find there are still problems in combining them. If a CEO were to ask his safety engineer and his security engineer of a complex, networked, software-intensive system to produce...
Modern manufacturing control systems must respond quickly to continuous change in an agile manufacturing environment. With traditional manufacturing control system programming, it is time-consuming to make changes as a result of separate databases for the programmable logic controller (PLC), manmachine interface (MMI), and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) packages. To resolve this,...
