While existing literature proposes effective IIDS solutions evaluated in controlled environments, their deployment in real-world industrial settings poses several challenges. This paper highlights two critical yet often overlooked aspects that significantly impact their practical deployment, i.e., the need for sufficient amounts of data to train the IIDS models and the challenges associated with finding suitable hyperparameters, especially for IIDSs training only on genuine ICS data. Through empirical experiments conducted on multiple state-of-the-art IIDSs and diverse datasets, we establish the criticality of these issues in deploying IIDSs. Our findings show the necessity of extensive malicious training data for supervised IIDSs, which can be impractical considering the complexity of recording and labeling attacks in actual industrial environments. Furthermore, while other IIDSs circumvent the previous issue by requiring only benign training data, these can suffer from the difficulty of setting appropriate hyperparameters, which likewise can diminish their performance. By shedding light on these challenges, we aim to enhance the understanding of the limitations and considerations necessary for deploying effective cybersecurity solutions in ICSs, which might be one reason why IIDSs see few deployments.}, keywords = {Industrial Intrusion Detection Systems, Cyber-Physical Systems, Industrial Control Systems, Deployment}, web_url = {https://arxiv.org/pdf/2403.01809}, publisher = {Springer}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 10th Workshop on the Security of Industrial Control Systems \& of Cyber-Physical Systems (CyberICPS '24), co-located with the the 29th European Symposium on Research in Computer Security (ESORICS '24)}, event_place = {Bydgoszcz, Poland}, event_name = {10th Workshop on the Security of Industrial Control Systems \& of Cyber-Physical Systems (CyberICPS 2024)}, event_date = {September 16-20, 2024}, state = {accepted}, language = {English}, reviewed = {1}, author = {Wolsing, Konrad and Wagner, Eric and Basels, Frederik and Wagner, Patrick and Wehrle, Klaus} } @Inproceedings { 2024-wagner-madtls, title = {Madtls: Fine-grained Middlebox-aware End-to-end Security for Industrial Communication}, year = {2024}, month = {7}, day = {1}, url = {https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2024/2024-wagner-madtls.pdf}, publisher = {ACM}, booktitle = {19th ACM ASIA Conference on Computer and Communications Security (ACM AsiaCCS '24), Singapur}, event_place = {Singapur}, event_name = {ACM ASIA Conference on Computer and Communications Security (AsiaCCS)}, event_date = {July 1-5, 2024}, DOI = {10.1145/3634737.3637640}, reviewed = {1}, author = {Wagner, Eric and Heye, David and Serror, Martin and Kunze, Ike and Wehrle, Klaus and Henze, Martin} } @Incollection { 2024_pennekamp_blockchain-industry, title = {Blockchain Technology Accelerating Industry 4.0}, year = {2024}, month = {3}, day = {7}, volume = {105}, pages = {531-564}, abstract = {Competitive industrial environments impose significant requirements on data sharing as well as the accountability and verifiability of related processes.

Due to its criticality for society, this fast-growing field attracts researchers from diverse backgrounds, resulting in 130 new detection approaches in 2021 alone. This huge momentum facilitates the exploration of diverse promising paths but likewise risks fragmenting the research landscape and burying promising progress. Consequently, it needs sound and comprehensible evaluations to mitigate this risk and catalyze efforts into sustainable scientific progress with real-world applicability. In this paper, we therefore systematically analyze the evaluation methodologies of this field to understand the current state of industrial intrusion detection research. Our analysis of 609 publications shows that the rapid growth of this research field has positive and negative consequences. While we observe an increased use of public datasets, publications still only evaluate 1.3 datasets on average, and frequently used benchmarking metrics are ambiguous. At the same time, the adoption of newly developed benchmarking metrics sees little advancement.

Unsupervised anomaly detectors, capable of learning the expected behavior of physical processes, have proven effective in detecting even novel cyberattacks. While offering decent attack detection, these systems, however, still suffer from too many False-Positive Alarms (FPAs) that operators need to investigate, eventually leading to alarm fatigue. To address this issue, in this paper, we challenge the notion of relying on a single IIDS and explore the benefits of combining multiple IIDSs. To this end, we examine the concept of ensemble learning, where a collection of classifiers (IIDSs in our case) are combined to optimize attack detection and reduce FPAs. While training ensembles for supervised classifiers is relatively straightforward, retaining the unsupervised nature of IIDSs proves challenging. In that regard, novel time-aware ensemble methods that incorporate temporal correlations between alerts and transfer-learning to best utilize the scarce training data constitute viable solutions. By combining diverse IIDSs, the detection performance can be improved beyond the individual approaches with close to no FPAs, resulting in a promising path for strengthening ICS cybersecurity.}, note = {Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS), Volume 14345}, keywords = {Intrusion Detection; Ensemble Learning; ICS}, tags = {internet-of-production, rfc}, url = {https://jpennekamp.de/wp-content/papercite-data/pdf/wkw+23.pdf}, publisher = {Springer}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 28th European Symposium on Research in Computer Security (ESORICS '23), September 25-29, 2023, The Hague, The Netherlands}, event_place = {The Hague, The Netherlands}, event_name = {28th European Symposium on Research in Computer Security (ESORICS '23)}, event_date = {September 25-29, 2023}, ISBN = {978-3-031-51475-3}, ISSN = {0302-9743}, DOI = {10.1007/978-3-031-51476-0_6}, reviewed = {1}, author = {Wolsing, Konrad and Kus, Dominik and Wagner, Eric and Pennekamp, Jan and Wehrle, Klaus and Henze, Martin} } @Inproceedings { 2022_kus_ensemble, title = {Poster: Ensemble Learning for Industrial Intrusion Detection}, year = {2022}, month = {12}, day = {8}, number = {RWTH-2022-10809}, abstract = {Industrial intrusion detection promises to protect networked industrial control systems by monitoring them and raising an alarm in case of suspicious behavior.

To reveal such attacks early and prevent any damage, industrial intrusion detection searches for anomalies in otherwise predictable communication or process behavior. However, current efforts mostly focus on specific domains and protocols, leading to a research landscape broken up into isolated silos. Thus, existing approaches cannot be applied to other industries that would equally benefit from powerful detection. To better understand this issue, we survey 53 detection systems and find no fundamental reason for their narrow focus. Although they are often coupled to specific industrial protocols in practice, many approaches could generalize to new industrial scenarios in theory. To unlock this potential, we propose IPAL, our industrial protocol abstraction layer, to decouple intrusion detection from domain-specific industrial protocols. After proving IPAL’s correctness in a reproducibility study of related work, we showcase its unique benefits by studying the generalizability of existing approaches to new datasets and conclude that they are indeed not restricted to specific domains or protocols and can perform outside their restricted silos.}, url = {/fileadmin/papers/2022/2022-wolsing-ipal.pdf}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 25th International Symposium on Research in Attacks, Intrusions and Defenses (RAID 2022)}, DOI = {10.1145/3545948.3545968}, reviewed = {1}, author = {Wolsing, Konrad and Wagner, Eric and Saillard, Antoine and Henze, Martin} } @Proceedings { 2022-wolsing-radarsec, title = {Network Attacks Against Marine Radar Systems: A Taxonomy, Simulation Environment, and Dataset}, year = {2022}, month = {9}, tags = {rfc}, url = {https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2022/2022-wolsing-radar.pdf}, publisher = {IEEE}, event_place = {Edmonton, Canada}, event_name = {47th IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks (LCN)}, event_date = {September 26-29, 2022}, DOI = {10.1109/LCN53696.2022.9843801}, reviewed = {1}, author = {Wolsing, Konrad and Saillard, Antoine and Bauer, Jan and Wagner, Eric and van Sloun, Christian and Fink, Ina Berenice and Schmidt, Mari and Wehrle, Klaus and Henze, Martin} } @Inproceedings { 2022-wolsing-simple, title = {Can Industrial Intrusion Detection Be SIMPLE?}, year = {2022}, month = {9}, volume = {978-3-031-17143-7}, pages = {574--594}, abstract = {Cyberattacks against industrial control systems pose a serious risk to the safety of humans and the environment. Industrial intrusion detection systems oppose this threat by continuously monitoring industrial processes and alerting any deviations from learned normal behavior. To this end, various streams of research rely on advanced and complex approaches, i.e., artificial neural networks, thus achieving allegedly high detection rates. However, as we show in an analysis of 70 approaches from related work, their inherent complexity comes with undesired properties. For example, they exhibit incomprehensible alarms and models only specialized personnel can understand, thus limiting their broad applicability in a heterogeneous industrial domain. Consequentially, we ask whether industrial intrusion detection indeed has to be complex or can be SIMPLE instead, i.e., Sufficient to detect most attacks, Independent of hyperparameters to dial-in, Meaningful in model and alerts, Portable to other industrial domains, Local to a part of the physical process, and computationally Efficient. To answer this question, we propose our design of four SIMPLE industrial intrusion detection systems, such as simple tests for the minima and maxima of process values or the rate at which process values change. Our evaluation of these SIMPLE approaches on four state-of-the-art industrial security datasets reveals that SIMPLE approaches can perform on par with existing complex approaches from related work while simultaneously being comprehensible and easily portable to other scenarios.

However, these approaches are typically trained not only on benign traffic but also on attacks and then evaluated against the same type of attack used for training. Hence, their actual, real-world performance on unknown (not trained on) attacks remains unclear. In turn, the reported near-perfect detection rates of machine learning-based intrusion detection might create a false sense of security. To assess this situation and clarify the real potential of machine learning-based industrial intrusion detection, we develop an evaluation methodology and examine multiple approaches from literature for their performance on unknown attacks (excluded from training). Our results highlight an ineffectiveness in detecting unknown attacks, with detection rates dropping to between 3.2 \% and 14.7 \% for some types of attacks.

As part of our collaborative research of advancing the scope of industrial applications through cybersecurity and privacy, we identified a set of common challenges and pitfalls that surface in such applied interdisciplinary collaborations. Aim. Our goal with this paper is to support researchers in the emerging field of cybersecurity in industrial settings by formalizing our experiences as reference for other research efforts, in industry and academia alike. Method. Based on our experience, we derived a process cycle of performing such interdisciplinary research, from the initial idea to the eventual dissemination and paper writing. This presented methodology strives to successfully bootstrap further research and to encourage further work in this emerging area. Results. Apart from our newly proposed process cycle, we report on our experiences and conduct a case study applying this methodology, raising awareness for challenges in cybersecurity research for industrial applications. We further detail the interplay between our process cycle and the data lifecycle in applied research data management. Finally, we augment our discussion with an industrial as well as an academic view on this research area and highlight that both areas still have to overcome significant challenges to sustainably and securely advance industrial applications. Conclusions. With our proposed process cycle for interdisciplinary research in the intersection of cybersecurity and industrial application, we provide a foundation for further research.

However, due to industrial protocol diversity and lack of standard interfaces, great efforts are required to adapt these technologies to a large number of different protocols. To address this issue, we identify existing universally applicable intrusion detection approaches and propose a transcription for industrial protocols to realize protocol-independent semantic intrusion detection on top of different industrial protocols.}, keywords = {Intrusion Detection; IDS; Industrial Protocols; CPS; IEC-60870-5-104; Modbus; NMEA 0183}, url = {https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2020/2020-wolsing-facilitating.pdf}, publisher = {ACM}, address = {New York, NY, USA}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 2020 ACM SIGSAC Conference on Computer and Communications Security (CCS ’20), November 9–13, 2020, Virtual Event, USA.}, event_place = {Virtual Event, USA}, event_date = {November 9-13, 2020}, DOI = {10.1145/3372297.3420019}, reviewed = {1}, author = {Wolsing, Konrad and Wagner, Eric and Henze, Martin} } @Inproceedings { 2020-serror-networking-qwin, title = {QWIN: Facilitating QoS in Wireless Industrial Networks Through Cooperation}, year = {2020}, month = {6}, day = {21}, tags = {consent}, url = {https://comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2020/2020-serror-qwin.pdf}, web_url = {https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/9142792}, publisher = {IFIP}, howpublished = {online}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 19th IFIP Networking 2020 Conference (NETWORKING '20), June 22-26, 2020, Paris, France}, event_place = {Paris, France}, event_name = {IFIP NETWORKING Conference}, event_date = {June 22-26, 2020}, ISBN = {978-3-903176-28-7}, reviewed = {1}, author = {Serror, Martin and Wagner, Eric and Glebke, Ren{\'e} and Wehrle, Klaus} } @Inproceedings { 2019_wagner_dispute_resolution, title = {Dispute Resolution for Smart Contract-based Two Party Protocols}, year = {2019}, month = {5}, abstract = {Blockchain systems promise to mediate interactions of mutually distrusting parties without a trusted third party. However, protocols with full smart contract-based security are either limited in functionality or complex, with high costs for secured interactions. This observation leads to the development of protocol-specific schemes to avoid costly dispute resolution in case all participants remain honest. In this paper, we introduce SmartJudge, an extensible generalization of this trend for smart contract-based two-party protocols. SmartJudge relies on a protocol-independent mediator smart contract that moderates two-party interactions and only consults protocol-specific verifier smart contracts in case of a dispute. This way, SmartJudge avoids verification costs in absence of disputes and sustains interaction confidentiality among honest parties. We implement verifier smart contracts for cross-blockchain trades and exchanging digital goods and show that SmartJudge can reduce costs by 46-50\% and 22\% over current state of the art, respectively.}, keywords = {Ethereum,Bitcoin,smart contracts,two-party protocols,dispute resolution,cross-blockchain trades}, tags = {mynedata, impact-digital, rfc}, url = {https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2019/2019-wagner-dispute.pdf}, publisher = {IEEE}, booktitle = {IEEE International Conference on Blockchain and Cryptocurrency 2019 (ICBC 2019)}, event_place = {Seoul, South Korea}, event_name = {IEEE International Conference on Blockchain and Cryptocurrency 2019}, language = {English}, DOI = {10.1109/BLOC.2019.8751312}, reviewed = {1}, author = {Wagner, Eric and V{\"o}lker, Achim and Fuhrmann, Frederik and Matzutt, Roman and Wehrle, Klaus} } @Inproceedings { 2018-hiller-lcn-lowlatencyiiot, title = {Secure Low Latency Communication for Constrained Industrial IoT Scenarios}, year = {2018}, month = {10}, tags = {connect,iop,nerd-nrw}, url = {https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2018/2018-hiller-lcn-secure_low_latency_communication_iiot.pdf}, publisher = {IEEE}, booktitle = {43rd IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks (LCN), Chicago, USA}, event_place = {Chicago, USA}, event_name = {43nd IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks (LCN)}, event_date = {October 1-4, 2018}, language = {en}, ISBN = {978-1-5386-4413-3}, DOI = {10.1109/LCN.2018.8638027}, reviewed = {1}, author = {Hiller, Jens and Henze, Martin and Serror, Martin and Wagner, Eric and Richter, Jan Niklas and Wehrle, Klaus} } @Article { 2011-kai-JITSR, title = {Project Report: Standardising the Internet of Things – What the Experts Think}, journal = {Int.
