Module contents | Embedded systems in the energy, transportation, and health domains are currently undergoing a technological transition towards highly networked automated cyber-physical systems (CPS). Such systems are potentially vulnerable to cyber attacks, and these can have physical impact. This includes targeted sabotage of a plant (e.g. Stuxnet), large-scale sabotage of infrastructure to cause economic damage (e.g. attacks against energy grids), and indiscriminate attacks to cause civilian casualties (e.g. by compromise of transportation systems). In this module we investigate and discuss security principles, solutions, and architectures for CPS as well as real-life security incidents. The topics include distance bounding protocols, location tracking and counter-measures, safety and security engineering of CPS, security in the automotive and maritime domain including car hacking and vehicle-2-x communication, hacking in the medical domain, attacks against energy grids, Stuxnet, CPS and society: benefits, risks, acceptance. |
