Cyber-Physical Vulnerabilities in Autonomous Systems
Speaker: Mohammad Abdullah Al Faruque – Irvine, CA, United StatesTopic(s): Security and Privacy
Abstract
Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are in every security-sensitive autonomous system, such as aerospace, automotive, UAVs, robotics, energy, healthcare, manufacturing, transportation, and consumer appliances. CPSs are engineered systems that are built from and depend upon the seamless integration of computation and physical components [NSF]. Embedded systems comprising hardware and software systems are the primary enabling technology for these cyber-physical systems. Compared to traditional information processing systems, new vulnerabilities emerge from the boundaries between various layers due to the tight interactions between cyber and physical components in CPSs and closed-loop control from sensing to actuation. In this lecture, Dr. Al Faruque will discuss how new vulnerabilities emerge at the intersection of various components and subsystems and their various hardware, software, communication, and physical layers. Several recent examples from various cyber-physical systems will be presented in this talk. A very different set of methodologies and tools are needed to understand these new vulnerabilities. Defenses against these vulnerabilities also demand new hardware/software co-design approaches. The lecture will highlight recent developments in this regard. The primary goal of this lecture will be to highlight various research challenges and the need for novel scientific solutions from the larger research community.About this Lecture
