J. Fabini:
"Malware Communication in Critical Infrastructures: The MALORI Project";
Talk: Vienna CyberSecurity and Privacy Research Cluster: System Security Workshop, Vienna (invited); 2021-12-10.

The functionality of critical infrastructures depends on distributed instances being interconnected by secure low-latency communication links. Benign communications within these critical infrastructure can itself serve as substrate for malicious software (malware) to propagate and communicate unobserved within these infrastructures through covert and subliminal channels.
The FFG KIRAS funded project MALORI investigates architectures, systems and protocols in order to detect and defend against secret malware communication in critical infrastructures. The expected outcome of MALORI is an increased robustness of anomaly detection in critical infrastructure communications.
