This book introduces a cross-layer design to achieve security and
resilience for CPSs (Cyber-Physical Systems). The authors interconnect
various technical tools and methods to capture the different properties
between cyber and physical layers. Part II of this book bridges the gap
between cryptography and control-theoretic tools. It develops a bespoke
crypto-control framework to address security and resiliency in control
and estimation problems where the outsourcing of computations is
possible. Part III of this book bridges the gap between game theory and
control theory and develops interdependent impact-aware security defense
strategies and cyber-aware resilient control strategies.
With the rapid development of smart cities, there is a growing need to
integrate the physical systems, ranging from large-scale infrastructures
to small embedded systems, with networked communications. The
integration of the physical and cyber systems forms Cyber-Physical
Systems (CPSs), enabling the use of digital information and control
technologies to improve the monitoring, operation, and planning of the
systems. Despite these advantages, they are vulnerable to cyber-physical
attacks, which aim to damage the physical layer through the cyber
network.
This book also uses case studies from autonomous systems,
communication-based train control systems, cyber manufacturing, and
robotic systems to illustrate the proposed methodologies. These case
studies aim to motivate readers to adopt a cross-layer system
perspective toward security and resilience issues of large and complex
systems and develop domain-specific solutions to address CPS
challenges.
A comprehensive suite of solutions to a broad range of technical
challenges in secure and resilient control systems are described in this
book (many of the findings in this book are useful to anyone working in
cybersecurity). Researchers, professors, and advanced-level students
working in computer science and engineering will find this book useful
as a reference or secondary text. Industry professionals and military
workers interested in cybersecurity will also want to purchase this
book.
