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

In the past decades, CPS have been widely applied to fields such as smart grids, environment monitoring, aerospace, smart transportation and industrial automation. Great strides have been made in CPSs to improve the computing mechanism, communication, and quality of service by applying optimization algorithms. Currently, these efforts are integrated with the applications of Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). To maintain the systems reliability and stability, CPSs such as smart grids face numerous challenges including large scale IoT device adaptation, ever-increasing demands of electrical energy and rise of wide range of security threats. These challenges bring forth the need to find sustainable and advanced solutions to guarantee reliable and secure operations in these systems.The goal of this book is to foster transformative, multidisciplinary, and novel approaches that ensure the CPSs security by taking into consideration the unique security challenges present in the environment. This book attracts contributions in all aspects pertaining to this multidisciplinary paradigm that includes development and implementation of Smart CPS, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems, CPS for Industry 4.0, CPS architecture for IIoT applications, and CPS forensics.This book:• Discusses concepts including wireless sensor networks (WSNs), cyber-physical systems (CPS), and the internet of things (IoT) in a comprehensive manner.• Covers routing protocols in sensor networks, attacks, and vulnerabilities in wireless sensor networks, internet of cyber-physical things, and cyber-physical systems for industrial applications.• Highlights technological advances, practical solutions, emerging trends, and prototypes related to privacy in cyber-physical systems and the internet of things.• Presents a pathway and architecture for proactive security schemes in cyber-physical systems to counter vulnerabilities including phishing attacks, malware injection, internal stealing of data, and hacking.• Discusses the most recent research and development on the enabling technologies for the internet of things-based cyber-physical systems.Owing to the scope and diversity of topics covered, the book will be of interest not only to researchers and theorists but also to professionals, material developers, technology specialists and methodologists dealing with the multifarious aspects of data privacy and security enhancement in Cyber Physical systems. The book will give these professionals, an overview of CPS security and privacy design and they will be aware of promising solutions to the research problems such as Cyber-attacks in CPS, risk identification & management in CPS, ML based trust computational model for CPSs, nature-inspired algorithms for CPSs, and distributed consensus algorithm for events detection in CPSs. The secondary target audience of this book includes legal practitioners, hackers, cyber law policy makers, cyber forensic analysts a
