Cyber Security for Cyber Physical Systems

Abstract

The series "Studies in Computational Intelligence" (SCI) publishes new developments and advances in the various areas of computational intelligence-quickly and with a high quality. The intent is to cover the theory, applications, and design methods of computational intelligence, as embedded in the fields of engineering, computer science, physics and life sciences, as well as the methodologies behind them. The series contains monographs, lecture notes and edited volumes in computational intelligence spanning the areas of neural networks, connectionist systems, genetic algorithms, evolutionary computation, artificial intelligence, cellular automata, self-organizing systems, soft computing, fuzzy systems, and hybrid intelligent systems. Of particular value to both the contributors and the readership are the short publication timeframe and the world-wide distribution, which enable both wide and rapid dissemination of research output.

It provides foundations which are sound, clear, and comprehensive view of security issues in the domain of CPSs. The book is designed as such it provides the fundamental theoretical background in the area of CPS security and associated domains.To achieve the aforesaid objectives, the book is divided into eight chapters. Chapter 1 sets the scene by providing a brief overview of CPS, its architecture, components, and the importance of security in it. It also discusses the different types of security attacks and the challenges in a...

Improving the Resilience of Wireless Sensor Networks Against Security Threats: A Survey and Open Research Issues

“…The vulnerabilities and sensor node limitations associated with wireless media pose particular security challenges. Security is normally achieved through a trusted and controlled atmosphere (Undercoffer et al, 2002;Zia & Zomaya, 2006;Ali et al, 2018). Existing security procedures aim to improve the security of WSNs from two aspects, namely security and reliability.…”

“…The diverse set of WSN cyber-attacks can be divided into different categories; from the attackers' perspective, these are normally categorized into internal and external attacks (Yu et al, 2012;Ali et al, 2018). When an attacker is able to access a node by infringement through the cryptographic procedures, this normally occurs through an internal attack.…”

“…These attacks are further classified into logical network layers (application, transport, network, data link and physical layers) depending upon the type of attack made (Yang, 2014). The number of attacks which targeted the application layer, and the total number of attacks suffered by WSNs, are classified by Li and Gong (2008), López and Zhou (2008), Araujo et al (2012), Lopez et al (2010), Ali et al (2015). Based on the survey carried out for this study, Figure 1 gives a brief overview of the various WSN layers and cyber-attacks involved.…”

“…There are two main trust parameters: trust qualification and trust computation (Pirzada & McDonald, 2004;Ali et al, 2018). Trust qualification defines the numerous levels of trust, while trust calculation describes the means of measuring the trust value between nodes.…”

Learning automata–based multilevel medium access control in cyber physical system–based smart wireless networks

“…The cyber system can be equipped with feedback facility, which helps in modifying the way the physical system behaves and thus improving the performance of the physical system . Both the physical system and the cyber system can communicate with the outside world independent of each other . The devices that are capable of performing computation, sense, and communicate are considered as physical systems.…”
