Review of Security Issues in Industrial Networks (2013, unknown): “Fortunately enough, although IACS can be very complex systems, they usually have a reduced network dynamics when compared to DBCS, since the set of users and protocols involved is smaller and almost ﬁxed, while system topologies are simpler [57].”
Optimal Denial-of-Service Attack Scheduling With Energy Constraint Over Packet-Dropping Networks (2018, background): “When deception attacks exist, the information in transit may be intercepted and modified, which causes that remote terminal units (RTUs) receive false data [4].”
On the Performance Degradation of Cyber-Physical Systems Under Stealthy Integrity Attacks (2016, background): “Driven by the miniaturization and integration of sensing, communication and computation in cost effective devices, CPSs are bound to transform many industries such as aerospace, transportation, built environments, energy, health-care, and manufacturing, to name a few.”
Security analysis for Cyber-Physical Systems against stealthy deception attacks (2013, background): “The safety tools only using information security are not sufficient for secure control of CPSs because they cannot describe the system's macro-behavior.”
