Course Description
An introduction to fundamental security and resilience issues in cyber-physical systems. Cyber-attacks may impact physical systems and physical attacks may bypass the traditional cyber defense. Theory and principles, attack detection and defense mechanisms, and selected case studies of cyber-physical security will be discussed in this course.
