Title
A Model Driven Method to Design and Analyze Secure Systems-of-Systems Architecture
Application to Predict Cascading Attacks in Smart Buildings
Description
Systems-of-Systems (SoS) is becoming one of the major paradigm for engineering next generation solutions such as smart cities, smart buildings, health-care, emergency response and defense. Therefore, there is a growing interest in SoS, their architecture and specially their security. However, SoS differentiating characteristics, such as emergent behavior and managerial and operational independence of its constituents, may introduce specific issues that make their security modeling, simulation and analysis a critical challenge. In my thesis I investigated how Software Engineering approaches can be extended to model and
analyze secure SoS solutions for discovering high impact attacks (cascading attacks) at the architecture stage. In order to achieve this objective, I proposed a Model Driven Engineering method, Systems-of-Systems Security (SoSSec), that comprises: (1) a modeling description language (SoSSecML) for secure SoS modeling and an extension of Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) for secure SoS architecture analysis, (2) the corresponding tools: a graphical editor, a code generator, an extension of the Java Agent Development (JADE) MAS simulation
framework, a custom logging tool, (3) an utilization process to guide the use of the SoSSec method. To illustrate this approach I conducted a case study on a real-life smart building SoS, the Adelaide University Health and Medical School (AHMS).
