Topology architecture has a decisive influence on network reliability. In this paper, we design a novel redundancy topology and analyze the structural robustness, the number of redundant paths between two terminal nodes, and the reliability of the proposed topology by using natural connectivity and time-independent and time-dependent terminal pair reliability, k-terminal reliability, and all-terminal reliability comprehensively and quantitatively, and we compare these measures of the proposed topology with AFDX in three scenarios. The evaluations show that in the structural robustness analysis, when no nodes are removed, the natural connectivity of the proposed topology with 10 nodes, 16 nodes, and 20 nodes is 77.8%, 26.95%, and 81.39% higher than that of AFDX, respectively. In the time-independent reliability analysis, when the link reliability is 0.9, terminal pair reliability of the proposed topology with 10 nodes, 16 nodes, and 20 nodes is 5.78%, 17.75%, and 34.65% higher than that of AFDX, respectively; k-terminal reliability is 10.04%, 31.97%, and 53.74% higher than that of AFDX, respectively; and all-terminal reliability is 29.36%, 74.37%, and 107.91% higher than that of AFDX, respectively. In the time-dependent reliability analysis, when the operating time is 8000 h, the terminal pair reliability of the proposed topology with 10 nodes, 16 nodes, and 20 nodes is 3.53%, 10.87%, and 21.08% higher than that of AFDX, respectively; the k-terminal reliability is 6.20%, 19.65%, and 32.58% higher than that of AFDX, respectively; and the all-terminal reliability is 18.25%, 45.04%, and 63.86% higher than that of AFDX, respectively. The proposed topology increases the redundant paths of data transmission. It ensures reliable data transmission and has high robustness and reliability. It provides a new idea for improving the reliability of industrial buses.

The pervasive adoption of traditional information and communication technologies hardware and software in industrial control systems (ICS) has given birth to a unique technological ecosystem encapsulating a variety of objects ranging from sensors and actuators to video surveillance cameras and generic PCs. Despite their invaluable advantages, these advanced ICS create new design challenges, which expose them to significant cyber threats. To address these challenges, an innovative ICS network design technique is proposed in this paper to harmonize the traditional ICS design requirements pertaining to strong architectural determinism and real-time data transfer with security recommendations outlined in the ISA-62443.03.02 standard. The proposed technique accommodates security requirements by partitioning the network into security zones and by provisioning critical communication channels, known as security conduits, between two or more security zones. The ICS network design is formulated as an integer linear programming (ILP) problem that minimizes the cost of the installation. Real-time data transfer limitations and security requirements are included as constraints imposing the selection of specific traffic paths, the selection of routing nodes, and the provisioning of security zones and conduits. The security requirements of cyber assets denoted by traffic and communication endpoints are determined by a cyber attack impact assessment technique proposed in this paper. The sensitivity of the proposed techniques to different parameters is evaluated in a first scenario involving the IEEE 14-bus model and in a second scenario involving a large network topology based on generated data. Experimental results demonstrate the efficiency and scalability of the ILP model. Index Terms-Industrial control systems (ICS), ISA-62443, network design, security conduit, security zone.

Abstract. Network topology design has directly impact on network construction costs and network performance. Majority of current network topology design take the network physical topology parameters into consideration, such as the reliability and cost constraints, ignoring the actual traffic information on the logical network. Moreover, the network traffic exhibits selfsimilar feature over large time scales, which is complicated and is difficult to predict. In this paper, firstly, a hierarchical network model is proposed that consists of the upper logical topology and the lower physical topology. The logical topology describes the self-similar traffic information on the network and the ON/OFF model is adopted to model the self-similar traffic. The lower physical topology represents the connection relationship between the all kinds of network devices and links. Then, taking advantage of the hierarchical network model, a novel network topology design method based on the genetic algorithm is proposed, which aimed at obtaining the network with minimum delay under certain reliability and cost constraints. Finally, a practical example is presented to verify the effectiveness and the accuracy of our network topology design method. Results show that our method obtains better results than the other methods.
