Bio-Inspired Approaches to Safety and Security in IoT-Enabled Cyber-Physical Systems

Focus: Safety & Security in Cyber-physical Systems

Cyber Physical Security for Industrial Control Systems and IoT

Cyber-attacks and cybersecurity used to be the issues for those who use Internet and computers. The issues, however, are expanding to anyone who does not even use them directly. The society is gradually and heavily depending on networks and computers. They are not closed within a cyberspace anymore and having interaction with our real world with sensors and actuators. Such systems are known as ...

Addressing Safety and Security Contradictions in Cyber-Physical Systems

Modern cyber-physical systems are found in important domains such as automobiles, medical devices, building automation, avionics, etc.. Hence, they are increasingly prone to security violations. Often such vulnerabilities occur as a result of contradictory requirements between the safety/real-time properties and the security needs of the system. In this paper we propose a formal framework that ...

STPA-SafeSec: Safety and security analysis for cyber-physical systems

Cyber-physical systems tightly integrate physical processes and information and communication technologies. As today’s critical infrastructures, e.g., the power grid or water distribution networks, are complex cyber-physical systems, ensuring their safety and security becomes of paramount importance.Traditional safety analysis methods, such as HAZOP, are ill-suited to assess these systems. Furt...
