MODULE II

The second model of the course deals with modelling and analysis of cyber-physical systems and of cyber-physical attacks. Defence strategies are also outlined.

Part I: Overview. Introduction to cyber-physical systems. Terminology, regulations, overwiew of past attacks, etc. Introduction to the electrical power system (the main syber-physical system we will refer to).

Part II: Cyber-physical systems modelling. This part is devoted to the derivation of a general model for cyber-physical systems, based on system theory formalism and concepts. The derivation of a mathematical model is in fact a prerequisite for the following analysis of possible attacks to cyber-physical systems and related defence strategies.

Part III: Attacks. This part will be devoted to the review and classification of known attacks to cyber-physical systems, and to the outline of possible defence strategies. The examples and cases discussed will be mainly referred to the smart grid cyber-physical system, though the underling concepts are general and applicable to cyber-physical systems in general.

Prerequisites

Basics on linear algebra, geometry, analysis and control theory will be summarized within the course before their application.
