Abstract
We consider the problem of defining a metric to capture communication links vulnerability that is a function of threat models of concern. The model is based on the Confidentiality-Integrity-Availability (C-I-A) framework and combines communication links parametric models with dynamical historical models. The proposed model arrives at a vulnerability matrix to describe the cyber component of a cyber-physical system. The vulnerability matrix is used for flexible adaptive constrained routing implemented on Software Defined Networks (SDNs) as a mitigation approach for threats of concern.
