Description
Cyber-Physical System (CPS) is a broad term for software and hardware monitoring or controlling physical environments. This includes Operational Technology (OT), like industrial automation and control systems (IACS), 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 fourth industrial revolution era, corporations are increasingly dependent on connecting IT and OT. Attacks on those networks and systems, as well as CPS in general, are 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 represents an academic conference, including paper writing, submission, review, rebuttal, revision, presentation, and discussion.
Possible topics are, e.g.: Secure Logging for Cyber-Physical Systems; Group Key Agreements on Industrial Busses; Analysis of multi-vector attacks and vulnerabilities in the automotive industry; A practical approach on authentic date and time in mobile and cyber-physical systems; Public Charging Security and Standards; Security and Trust in Process Chains.
The final list of topics will be presented in the Pre-course Meeting.
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)
