## Description

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) is a broad term for software and hardware used to monitor or control physical environments. This includes Operational Technology (OT), like industrial automation and control systems, transportation, water supply, energy production (SCADA, smart grid) and supply chains, but also areas such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Automotive, Medical and smart home/building management systems. In the era of the fourth industrial revolution, corporations are increasingly dependent on connecting IT and OT to successfully fulfill their mission. Attacks on those networks and systems and CPS in general are therefore constantly on the rise. Due to their capability to physically interact with their environment, the impact of such an attack can be potentially hazardous.

This seminar deals with various security aspects of CPS and their implications. The format is intended to represent an academic conference including paper writing, submission, review, rebuttal, revision, presentation, and discussion.

## Topics

Possible topics include:

* FrankenCert Lives

* Deniable Authentication in Cyber-Physical Systems

* History of Authentication in Cyber-Physical Systems

* Authentication Token Security Perception

* Automotive Authentication

* CPS Environments and Usability of Authentication

* Video Streaming Security

* Intrusion Detection Systems for CPS

* Anomaly Detection for CPS

* Selection of Privacy-Enhancing Technologies

* Attribute based encryption of data in P2P networks

* Federated Learning for CPS

* Forensic of Autonomous Vehicles

* Security of electronic data interchange

* Security of V2X

Furthermore, it is possible to suggest own topics within the seminar's thematic scope.

## Course Objectives

* Know and understand different aspects of CPS security

* Prepare, write, and review a scientific paper in LaTeX (English; IEEE Conference Proceedings Template; 10 pages excl. list of references and appendix)

* Present and discuss the topic (English; 25 minutes presentation + 15 minutes discussion)

## Capacity

The seminar is suitable for up to 15 students.
