Research Progress of Security Protection for Dispatching Automation System

Dispatching Automation System (DAS) has been widely used in many critical areas such as power dispatch, transport dispatch, and water dispatch. It provides a reliable guarantee for the development of social economy, which in turn puts forward higher quality requirements for DAS. Thus, security protection, which provides a basis for safe and stable operation, plays a crucial role in DAS. Although a number of studies focus on improving the protective ability of security on DAS, there is no comprehensive research on these techniques. To fill this gap, we conduct a preliminary research on DAS protection. In this paper, we present the DAS security risk taxonomy and reviews the corresponding protective works. Moreover, we also point out the future directions in DAS protection.
