  • Publication number: 20240086548
    Abstract: An anomaly detection system includes: a register value collector that collects register values of register numbers from a controller; a future state predictor that predicts a future state of the control system; a blacklist creator that creates a blacklist based on a prediction result; an anomaly determiner that determines whether the control system enters an anomalous state by checking the collected register values against the blacklist; and an outputter that outputs a determination result. The blacklist creator defines, as the blacklist: a predicted register number that is predicted, if a register value of the predicted register number is changed, to cause the control system to enter the anomalous state in the future; and a range of the register value within which the control system is predicted to enter the anomalous state, and dynamically creates the blacklist corresponding to a combination of the collected register values.

  • Patent number: 11876818
    Abstract: An anomaly detection method includes: calculating, for a detection target data stream of consecutive detection target data, distances between the detection target data; extracting features of the detection target data stream using the calculated distances; and calculating anomaly degree information about a degree of anomaly in the detection target data stream using the extracted features. Each extracted feature is made up of L consecutive distances (L is an integer greater than or equal to 2). For each feature extracted, supplementary information for calculating the anomaly degree information is calculated using a difference in the feature. For each of one or more information calculation target windows made up of N detection target data (N is an integer greater than or equal to L+1), the anomaly degree information is calculated using all supplementary information calculated from the N detection target data.
