Context-Aware Security Solutions for Cyber Physical Systems

Abstract. The integration of physical systems and processes with net-worked computing has led to the emergence of a new generation of en-gineered systems, called Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). These systems are large networked systems of systems, in which a component system may itself be a grid. In this paper we survey the current state of the art of CPS, identify the issues surrounding security control, and investigate the extent to which context information may be used to improve security and survivability of CPS
