Protecting Cyber Physical Systems (PCPS)
Abstract
The Protecting Cyber Physical Systems (PCPS) program will create new technologies for ensuring the availability and integrity of cyber physical systems. The near-ubiquitous use of embedded computing in commercial, industrial, and medical devices, the emergence of software defined networking, and the importance of automatic control to U.S. civilian and military critical infrastructure make this a national security issue. PCPS will develop technologies to monitor heterogeneous distributed industrial control system networks, detect anomalies that require rapid assessment, and mitigate sensor spoofing and denial of service attacks. Mechanisms to ensure the integrity of remote firmware updates and mitigate attacks for which wireless interfaces provide a vector will also be developed. PCPS technologies will transition to military installations and commercial industry.
