CPS: Synergy: Collaborative Research: Cyber-Physical Approaches to Advanced Manufacturing Security

This research assesses the threat of cyber-physical attacks to manufacturing systems that change the design of a physical part, elude quality control measures, and result in part failure. This goal is achieved through the development of: a cyber-physical attack taxonomy, framework to assess levels of cyber-physical vulnerability, models to detect and diagnose the presence of attacks in real-time, and side-channel detection techniques specific to manufacturing. These tools are useful to the broader CPS community as a way of informing decisions when developing CPS approaches for manufacturing security and other CPS systems. Broader impact is achieved through laying the groundwork for developing industrial standards, hosting a workshop with the aerospace industry on next-generation CPS defense and quality control measures, and through work with manufacturing OEMs to identify next-generation CPS defense measures specific to interconnected manufacturing environments.
