Sold OutCyber Physical Systems (CPS) is a close association between computational and communication blocks (referred to as “cyber”) and components for sensing real data and actuating thereof (referred to as “physical”). While CPS is a tremendous enabler to improved quality of living conditions around the world, the combination of physical systems with the cyber world pose threats which, if not catered, can lead to catastrophic consequences. The subsystems involved in the CPS are at a larger exposure with an adversary increasing the feasibility of physical attacks which can jeopardize security. The extreme longevity of CPS also necessitates the ability of the CPS components for enduring new attacks which are constantly being surfaced. What makes security in CPS all the more challenging is that these threats and security challenges are often to be mitigated in extremely constrained environments due to factors low-cost and low-energy specifications.
In this course, we shall take a holistic look at security, starting from theoretical foundations of Cryptography to Advanced Topics of Hardware Security to learn how the ciphering algorithms are realized on actual hard- ware. The course shall discuss on fundamental blocks like Symmetric Key Encryptions and Asymmetric Key Encryptions, along with discussions on attacks (cryptanalysis) of these techniques. The course shall then discuss lightweight hardware implementations of such ciphers, targeting FPGA based solutions as a popular design platform. The course then discusses several hardware attacks, called side-channel-attacks, which are based on monitor- ing the power/electromagnetic radiations from the enciphering hardware. As CPS devices have to operate in a rugged environment, fault tolerance and the effect of this on hardware security will also be deliberated in the course. The talk will also focus on suitable countermeasures to resist such attacks. Finally, as the CPS is made of several heterogeneousdevices, authentication among these devices is of paramount importance. While the resource con- straints in the CPS nodes often renders classical algorithms an overkill, the physical characteristics of the CPS devices give rise to promising primitives called Physically Unclonable Functions (PUFs) which can be leveraged to achieve authentication protocols suited for CPS. The course concludes with a real-life smart-metering example to demonstrate the use of these hardware security primitives in co-ordination.
