Vulnerability Analysis and Threat Modeling in Wireless Networks of Smart City Infrastructure

Abstract

The paper addresses the issue of threat modeling in wireless networks using data on their information and communication infrastructure. The structure of such networks, their features, and open sources of security data for threat modeling are analyzed. A technique for threat modeling based on data on information and communication infrastructure of wireless networks, their vulnerabilities, weaknesses, and attacks, is proposed. The technique involves a hierarchical threat model constructed using attack graphs and open-source security data, taking into account the types of wireless network components, along with an algorithm for its construction, which considers the stages of the attack. The technique is validated using a toy wireless network.
