Cyber Physical System Security

If you’re seeing this message it means that I either have not taken or have just started this course. Please check back later!

Cyber Physical Systems (CPSs) integrate computing, networking, and physical processes. CPSs are known for their ability to: a) monitor the physical environment; b) use the monitored data in detecting the state of the physical environment; c) control the physical environment; and d) use cyber communications to perform its monitoring, detection and control operations. This course will introduce the state-of-the-art CPS technologies, ranging from Internet-of-Things to clouds. The objectives are to

  • learn the basic concepts, technologies and applications of Internet-of-Things (IoT),
  • understand the fundamental security challenges and practical countermeasures and attacks in IoT systems,
  • learn the basic architecture, technologies and applications of Industrial Internet-of-Things (IIoT) for critical infrastructures,
  • understand the vulnerabilities of IIoT and the related critical national security impact,
  • learn the basic concepts of cloud infrastructure and its service models and deployment modes,
  • understand cloud deployment, management, and scaling techniques,
  • understand vulnerabilities and threats and learn security and privacy policies and solutions in clouds, and
  • gain hands-on experience with IoT and cloud systems.
