Detection of counterfeit and compromised devices using system and function call tracing techniques

摘要

Frameworks, methods, and systems for securing a smart grid are provided. A framework can include data collection, call tracing techniques, and preparing call lists to detect counterfeit or compromised devices. The call tracing techniques can include call tracing and compiling all system and function calls over a time interval. The framework can further include data processing, in which a genuine device is identified and compared to unknown devices. A first statistical correlation can be used for resource-rich systems, and a second statistical correlation can be used for resource-limited systems. Threats of information leakage, measurement poisoning and store-and-send-later can be considered.
