A tutorial on security and privacy challenges in CPS

Abstract

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) refer to the comprehensive integration of communication and control into physical systems. The communication network plays a crucial role in the stability of CPSs but it inadvertently exposes the control system to novel security and privacy threats. In this chapter, we carry out a survey of attacks that threaten the stability of control systems in CPSs along with a range of defenses. We organize the capabilities of CPSs into three domains: sensing mechanisms, communication infrastructure, and control strategies, and provide a mapping of deception, disruption, and disclosure attacks in each domain. We also discuss common approaches to designing resilient systems based on techniques drawn from game theory, machine learning, and control theory. We envision that as attacks increase in sophistication over the years, defense and resiliency techniques will also significantly evolve and …
