Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The ever-increasing number of applications of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) has had a positive influence on the industry (including Industry 4.0), but it has also created unprecedented opportunities for the exploitation of new cyberattacks. Therefore, one of the current major issues is CPS security aspects in terms of infrastructure protection as well as data privacy, integrity, and confidentiality. Among the different cybersecurity applications, it is also worth mentioning the use of blockchain to offer non-repudiation and strengthen the security of a CPS. The aim of this Special Issue is to provide the necessary grounds for discussion and advancement towards enhancing the security and safety properties of CPSs and their applications.
The scope of this Special Issue includes (but is not limited to):
- CPS cybersecurity;
- Security and privacy challenges in CPS design and implementation;
- Access control, authentication, and authorization;
- Blockchain-based cybersecurity applications;
- Usable security and privacy in CPSs;
- Malware and intrusion detection;
- Efficient cryptography;
- Secure mechanisms for the storage, sharing, and accessing of sensitive data in CPSs;
- Methods, algorithms, and applications for vulnerability remediation;
- Cybersecurity attacks on CPSs and their infrastructure.
