Description:

The project SECRET aims to assess the risks and consequences of EM attacks on the rail infrastructure, to identify preventive and recovery measures and to develop protection solutions to ensure the security of the rail network, subject to intentional electromagnetic (EM) interferences, which can disturb a large number of command-measure that is modifying risk

, communication or signalling systems.
The objectives are to :

  • Identify critical scenarios of EM attacks and to evaluate the consequences thanks to risks analysis and attack experiment on railway infrastructure
  • Develop equipment protection and resilient command-measure that is modifying risk

    and communication architecture to such attacks, including detection devices of EM attacks and management processes in order to completely defeat the effect of attack or to facilitate the return to normal conditions
  • Produce technical recommendations to reinforce the railway infrastructure.
