Teaching

The course covers introductory topics in the security and privacy of cyber-physical systems especially unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones. The goal is to expose students to fundamental security primitives specific to drones and to apply them to a broad range of current and future cyber-physical security challenges. Students will work with various hands-on tools and fundamental techniques used by hackers to compromise controllers and computing systems or otherwise interfere with normal cyber-physical operations such as a drone flight. Students will also use tools that are unique to interacting with cyber-physical systems. (course syllabus)

This course covers fundamental topics on the resilience of critical infrastructure against disruptions caused by malicious actors. Students will gain an understanding of the different types of critical infrastructure, such as civil aviation, banking and finance, electric power, oil and gas, water and sewage, and communications. Students will learn to assess the weaknesses in critical infrastructure and investigate various forms of resilience strategies.

The course covers introductory topics in cyber-physical systems security, with the focus on one instance of cyber-physical systems – Industrial Control Systems (ICSs). Students will be exposed to fundamental security primitives specific to cyber-physical systems and apply them to a broad range of current and future security challenges.
