Back at S4 again for the day.
This morning started with a serious smackdown laid on the control systems folks by Dave Aitel from Immunity Inc.
It was interesting watching the faces in the crowd as they heard statements which were uncomfortable.
Currently watching Julian Rrushi from the University of Illinois talking through some of the intricacies of IEC 61850. While I appreciate (yet) another protocol - especially one which is deterministic - I can see too many opportunities for implementation level screwups in this new protocol.
I’m going to have to miss the next session due to a meeting, but I’m looking forward to three sessions this afternoon - Key Management for Advanced Metering, SCADA Threat Modelling and OPC Unified Architecture Exposed.
