ABSTRACT
We offer algorithms and visualization techniques for cyber trust in a Smart Grid system. Cyber trust is evaluated in terms of a mathematical model consisting of availability, detection and false alarm trust values, as well as a model of predictability. We develop a prototype Cyber Situational Awareness Visualization (CyberSAVe) tool to visualize cyber trust. We provide Operational Decision Aids (ODAs) displayed in context with a SCADA management information. We define cyber trust metrics, which are calculated and displayed in real-time in the Metric Assessment System (MAS) of CyberSAVe. We demonstrate the use of trust combined with visualization of trust to detect various types of attacks on the Smart Grid.
