Emerging Trends for Securing Cyber Physical Systems and the Internet of Things

This book explores innovative approaches to enhance the security of cyber-physical systems and the Internet of Things, addressing unique environmental challenges.

This book aims to promote transformative and multidisciplinary strategies to enhance the security of cyber-physical systems (CPSs) while addressing the distinct security challenges inherent in various environments. Over recent decades, CPSs have found extensive application in diverse fields such as smart grids, environmental monitoring, aerospace, smart transportation, and industrial automation. Significant advancements have been achieved in improving computing mechanisms, communication, and service quality through optimization algorithms. Currently, these innovations are being integrated with machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) to tackle the growing complexity of these systems.

Emerging Trends for Securing Cyber Physical Systems and the Internet of Things highlights the pressing challenges faced by CPSs, particularly in maintaining reliability and stability amidst the increasing demands of electrical energy, the adaptation of large-scale Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices, and the escalation of various security threats. These challenges necessitate the development of sustainable and advanced solutions to ensure reliable and secure operations within these systems. The book invites contributions across all facets of this multidisciplinary field, encompassing the creation and implementation of Smart CPS, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems, CPS architecture for IoT applications, and CPS forensics.

The content of this book is designed to cater to a wide audience, including researchers, professionals, and technology specialists engaged in data privacy and security enhancement in CPSs. It covers essential topics such as wireless sensor networks (WSNs), routing protocols, vulnerabilities, and technological advancements in CPSs. Furthermore, it presents proactive security schemes to mitigate vulnerabilities, including phishing attacks and malware injection. Emerging Trends for Securing Cyber Physical Systems and the Internet of Things serves as a valuable resource for those seeking to deepen their understanding of CPS security and privacy design.
