Module Title:Secure Cyber-Physical Systems
  Sichere Cyber-Physische Systeme
Department: Faculty 1 - Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics, Electrical Engineering and Information Technology
Responsible Staff Member:
  • Prof. Dr.-Ing. Panchenko, Andriy
Language of Teaching / Examination:English
Duration:1 semester
Frequency of Offer: Every summer semester
Credits: 6
Learning Outcome:After successfully completing the module, students can assess and master the challenges in securing cyber-physical systems and industrial control networks. They have deepened their knowledge of the  module “Introduction to Cybersecurity“. They understand the principles of system and network security with a special focus on cyber-physical systems. They know the security and privacy concepts as building blocks for the later specialization.
Contents:Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are closely connected to their environment via sensors and actuators. It is "the fusion of reality with the network". They comprise of a A/D and D/A converters to sense and interact, to influence the physical environment in a coordinated way. The spectrum of CPS ranges from medical devices (e.g., pace makers), smart vehicles up to countrywide industrial control networks (e.g., energy networks, smart grids). Functioning of our society depends on the cyber-physical systems.
This course is the continuation of the Introduction into Cyber Security and covers principles of system and network security with a special focus on cyber-physical systems. It introduces security and privacy concepts as building blocks for later specialization.
In the scope of this module, we explore, among others, the following topics:
  • Introduction and General Security Concepts
  • The World of Cyber-Physical Systems
  • Industrial Protocols
  • Definitions, Security Goals, Attacker Models
  • Physical Security
  • Access Control
  • Isolation Mechanisms
  • Firewalls
  • Anomaly and Intrusion Detection
  • Honeypots
  • Fingerprinting Techniques
  • Security Protocols
  • Malware
