Critical infrastructure systems are important systems that support our daily lives. Protecting these systems is attracting attention from the research community. The key component of a critical infrastructure system is the process control system, also known as the supervisory, control, and data acquisition (SCADA) system. On the other hand, security patterns are a well established concept that are used to analyze, construct and evaluate secure systems. This paper aims to propose methods to build a secure SCADA system using security patterns. In this paper, we study the archi-tecture of a general SCADA system and analyze the potential attacks against it. Also, we use security patterns as a tool to design a secure SCADA system that is resistant to these attacks. We believe our research work lays a new direction for future research on secure SCADA systems. Copyright © 2009 ACM.
