Summary
As researchers navigate the accelerating convergence of the physical and digital realms, the significance of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) in our critical infrastructure, industrial processes, and daily routines becomes ever more evident. Current challenges to cyber-physical system security include but are not limited to, the following: Complex System Interconnectivity, Physical Security Threats, Data Privacy and Protection, Software Vulnerabilities and Exploits, Adversarial AI Attacks, System Complexity and Verifiability. Yet, this fusion introduces a unique spectrum of security challenges that demand our attention. This Special Issue is dedicated to pioneering research addressing the multifaceted security concerns in CPS. The Special Issue is particularly interested in exploring the security dimensions ranging from the foundational physical layer to the complex upper layers, including hardware security, applied cryptography, network security protocols, and the increasingly influential role of machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) in fortifying intrusion detection, CPS and Industrial 4.0 security.
Contributions that present innovative approaches, effective defense mechanisms, or insightful analyses aimed at enhancing the resilience of Industrial 4.0, CPS and IoT systems against continuously evolving threats are welcomed. Your research could provide the cornerstone for next-generation security solutions in this integrated digital-physical landscape.
