Abstract
The idea of next-generation ports has become more apparent in the last ten
years in response to the challenge posed by the rising demand for efficiency
and the ever-increasing volume of goods. In this new era of intelligent
infrastructure and facilities, it is evident that cyber-security has recently
received the most significant attention from the seaport and maritime
authorities, and it is a primary concern on the agenda of most ports.
Traditional security solutions can be applied to safeguard IoT and
Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) from harmful entities. Nevertheless, security
researchers can only watch, examine, and learn about the behaviors of attackers
if these solutions operate more transparently. Herein, honeypots are potential
solutions since they offer valuable information about the attackers. It can be
virtual or physical. Virtual honeypots must be more realistic to entice
attackers, necessitating better high-fidelity. To this end, Digital Twin (DT)
technology can be employed to increase the complexity and simulation fidelity
of the honeypots. Seaports can be attacked from both their existing devices and
external devices at the same time. Existing mechanisms are insufficient to
detect external attacks; therefore, the current systems cannot handle attacks
at the desired level. DT and honeypot technologies can be used together to
tackle them. Consequently, we suggest a DT-assisted honeypot, called TwinPot,
for external attacks in smart seaports. Moreover, we propose an intelligent
attack detection mechanism to handle different attack types using DT for
internal attacks. Finally, we build an extensive smart seaport dataset for
internal and external attacks using the MANSIM tool and two existing datasets
to test the performance of our system. We show that under simultaneous internal
and external attacks on the system, our solution successfully detects internal
and external attacks.引用本文复制引用
