Cyber-Physical Systems Security

  • Cybersecurity |

Description

This course introduces security issues relating to various cyber- physical systems including industrial control systems and those considered critical infrastructure systems. An introduction to secure embedded software development is presented. Next, this course will investigate key concepts behind cyber-physical systems including control systems, protocol analysis, behavioral modeling, and Intrusion Detection System (IDS) development. The course will begin with the mathematics of continuous and digital control systems and then shift the focus to the complex world of cyber-physical systems, where both a general overview for the different domains (Industrial Control, Transportation, Medical Devices, etc.) and more detailed case studies will be provided.
