A Game Theory approach for communication security and safety assurance in cyber-physical systems with Reputation and Trust-based mechanisms

Cyber Security for Cyber Physcial Systems: a Trust-based Approach

CyberPhysical Systems (CPS) consist of a combination of different embedded subsystems, which work independently of each other and also interact with the external environment. Such embedded systems operate in the presence of inherent uncertainty, context dependencies and adversarial certainty arising from both the cyber and physical worlds. Security is one of the key concepts to shield the CPS e...

Cyber Safety: A Systems Thinking and Systems Theory Approach to Managing Cyber Security Risks

If we are to manage security risks more effectively in today’s complex and dynamic cyber environment, then a new way of thinking is needed to complement traditional approaches. According to Symantec’s 2014 Internet Security Threat Report, in 2012 more than ten million identities that included real names, dates of birth, and social security were exposed by a single breach. In 2013 there were eig...

Focus: Safety & Security in Cyber-physical Systems

Security, Privacy and Trust in Cyber Physical Systems

The first issue of the third volume of the EAI transactions on Security and Safety provides an insight to methods and techniques that improve security, safety and privacy of benchmark systems. Actually, two main classes of research results are considered. The first one is on attack prevention and secure planning while the second one is focused on forensics analysis. In particular, in the area o...
