  • Patent number: 12368752
    Abstract: A detection system 1 includes a control device 10 and a monitoring device 20 communicably connected to the control device 10. An acquisition unit 10A of the control device 10 acquires a target's observation value by a sensor 30. A first-noise-output unit 10B outputs a first-noise-value changing with time and less than a resolution of the sensor 30. An integration unit 10C outputs an integrated value obtained by integrating the first-noise-value and the observation value. A transmission unit 10D transmits the integrated value to the monitoring device 20. A separation unit 20A of the monitoring device 20 separates the integrated value from the control device 10 into the observation value and the first-noise-value. A second-noise-output unit 20B outputs a second-noise-value as the first-noise-value. A detection unit 20C detects whether the integrated value is a replay attack using the spatial distance between the first-noise-value and the second-noise-value.

  • Patent number: 12177264
    Abstract: An attack control device according to an embodiment is provided with a storage unit and one or more hardware processors configured to function as a selection unit, a determination unit, and a calculation unit. The storage unit associates and stores a normal communication data model representing a model of communication data of a normal system, with each network segment. The selection unit specifies the network segment based on the communication prediction data predicted upon execution of the attack scenario and selects the normal communication data model associated with the network segment. The determination unit determines the similarity degree between the normal communication data represented by the normal communication data model, and the communication prediction data. The calculation unit calculates an effectiveness degree of the attack scenario to be higher as the similarity degree is higher.
