Visible to the public Security vs Privacy in Cyber-Physical Systems

Submitted by cardenas on Tue, 01/22/2019 - 7:58pm. Contributors:

This CPS proposal focuses on developing scientific foundations for the research area of CPS Security and Privacy. Our novelty is that while security and privacy are two properties we want these systems to provide, they have not been addressed jointly before.

Visible to the public Security of Distributed Cyber-Physical Systems with Connected Vehicle Applications

Submitted by Anonymous on Tue, 01/22/2019 - 7:57pm. Contributors:

This project aims at accelerating the deployment of security measures for cyber-physical systems (CPSs) by proposing a framework that combines anomaly identification approaches, which emphasizes on the development of decentralized cyber-attack monitoring and diagnostic-like components, with robust control countermeasure to improve reliability and maintain system functionality. One of the main challenges for cyber-physical systems is the security of transmitted data over the communication network.

Submitted by Yier Jin on Tue, 01/22/2019 - 7:57pm. Contributors:

Significant progress has been made in the avenues of both software and hardware for fulfilling the objective of trustworthy autonomous cyber-physical systems (CPS). However, technological challenges still exist and particularly in terms of decision making under uncertainty.

Visible to the public Securing the Timing of Cyber-Physical Systems

Submitted by qizhu on Tue, 01/22/2019 - 7:57pm. Contributors:

This project aims to build a framework for identifying, analyzing and defending against timing attacks in cyber-physical systems. Timing attacks, where attackers attempt to compromise the timing of computation or communication operations, can be particularly destructive in a CPS because the correctness of system functionality is affected not only by the data values of operations but also by the time those operations are conducted.

Visible to the public Secure Cyber-Physical DNA Manufacturing for Life Science Applications and Ultra-Long-Term Data Storage

Submitted by Philip Brisk on Tue, 01/22/2019 - 7:57pm. Contributors:

This first-year project will develop a cyber-physical co-design process and apply it to the manufacturing of large-scale libraries of synthetic DNA oligonucleotides. Synthetic DNA plays an essential role in genomics research, and is poised for widespread consumption if its costs can be lowered dramatically, as large libraries of different DNA sequences are particularly useful in genetic analysis. DNA is also being investigated as a high-density medium for archival storage of digital data.

Visible to the public Scaling Cyber-Physical Systems to the Low-Power Internet of Things

Submitted by Fadel Adib on Tue, 01/22/2019 - 7:57pm. Contributor:

Battery-free sensors are annually attached to billions of items including pharmaceutical drugs, clothes, and manufacturing parts. The fundamental challenge with these sensors is that they are only reliable at short distances. As a result, today's systems for communicating with and localizing battery-free sensors are crippled by the limited range. This research proposes a cyber-physical system architecture that can overcome this challenge to enable sensing, communicating with, and localizing these sensors at an unprecedented scale.

Visible to the public Safety-Aware Cyber-Molecular Systems

Submitted by Robyn.Lutz on Tue, 01/22/2019 - 7:57pm. Contributors:

Molecular programming uses the computational power of DNA and other biomolecules to create nanoscale systems. Many of these envisioned nano-systems are safety-critical, such as diagnostic biosensors that detect contam-inants, drug capsules that dispense medicine when they encounter diseased cells, and configurable nano-robots. Challenges to the safety engineering of the nano-systems include their probabilistic behavior, their very small size, the very large number of them that execute at once, and the dynamic envi-ronment in which they operate.
