This three-year project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Computer and Network Systems, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070), provides $600,000 to develop deceptive and domain-specific cyber-physical honeypots for critical infrastructure. Specifically, the awardee, Georgia Tech Research Corporation, will create a stealthy honeypot for programmable logic controllers used in utilities like power grids. The honeypot aims to autonomously interact with attacker software to activate malicious capabilities and collect data to better understand attacker strategies. It will also leverage mathematical models and physics-informed neural networks to provide a realistic physical process interface. The research outcomes include classifying adversaries dynamically using online meta-learning algorithms informed by extracted high-level objectives from low-level controller software traces.
