  • Decentralization in Security: Consequences and Incentive Design
    In security, our concern is typically with securing a particular network, or eliminating security holes in a particular piece of software. These are important, but they miss the fact that being secure is fundamentally about security of all constituent...
  • Evaluation and Experimentation
    This research thrust focuses on the design and development of a highly accessible and scalable testbed environment for supporting the evaluation and experimentation efforts across the entire SURE research portfolio. This work is based on our existing...
  • Resilience and security in component-based software architectures for CPS
    Abstract:

    Cyber-Physical Systems are converging towards a component-oriented and platform-based implementation. The community-driven Robotic Operating Systems and the proprietary Residential Operating System (of Prodea) are just two examples that...
  • Resilient Monitoring and Control
    CPS employ Networked Control Systems (NCS) to facilitate real-time monitoring and control. Security of the NCS infrastructure is a large problem due to (1) the wide deployment of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) computing devices, (2) the connectivity of...
  • Threat Modeling/Risk Analysis
    With the increased use of cyber physical systems in current defense, medical, and energy applications, it is critical for the infrastructure to remain secure. As such, it is important to identify potential security flaws early in the design process in...
