CYBER-PHYSICAL SYSTEMS

MOTIVATION:

Cyber-physical systems (CPS) tightly couple software, networks, and physical processes. Unlike traditional IT systems, failures or attacks propagate into the physical world and affect safety, stability, and real-world assets.

KEY PROBLEM:

Purely cyber IDS solutions:

  • miss physics-based anomalies
  • struggle with novel attacks
  • are brittle when deployed on resource-constrained platforms

Purely model-based solutions:

  • rely on accurate plant models
  • struggle under unmodeled disturbance and noise

We bridge the gap by combining control-theoretic residuals with data-driven anomaly detection, forming a hybrid CPS-aware intrusion detection framework.

CORE RESEARCH QUESTION:

How can we detect malicious or unsafe behavior in a cyber-physical system by jointly analyzing cyber signals and physical dynamics in real time and on embedded hardware?

SYSTEM MODEL:

Cyber domain and physical domain integration.
