SCADA security using packet filtering firewall.
Abstract: This thesis focuses on implementing packet filtering firewall technique for protecting SCADA system. It uses filtering criteria to decide whether to permit or deny packets entry into the network. Parts of the packet that are examined are; the source IP address, the destination IP address, and the Internet protocols carried by the packet. At the beginning, the miniature SCADA system was implemented on two computers to take overview on the basic component of SCADA system, and to preview the data transmission between them.
