IIT Madras develops algorithm to protect air traffic control, power distribution from attacks
Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Madras have developed an algorithm-powered novel strategy to mitigate disruptions in critical networks such as air traffic control and power distribution during a targeted attack.
According to officials, with Internet of Things (IoT)-based technologies being widely implemented across societies, creating networks that are resilient to such attacks is of paramount importance. The work has been peer-reviewed and published in the noted international journal “Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications”.
“The terror attacks of 11th September 2001, all of which happened only on one day targeting a single country resulted in the entire airline industry coming to a standstill.
