Cyber Physical Systems: Security Concerns and Practices

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) integrate computing, communication, and physical processes to support intelligent monitoring, decision-making, and automation across critical sectors. As CPS become increasingly interconnected, robust security architectures are essential for protecting data, devices, communication networks and physical operations.

Cyber Physical Systems: Security Concerns and Practices examines fundamental and emerging approaches to CPS security, with particular emphasis on blockchain, cryptography, and steganography. It explores secure authentication, data transmission, decentralized security frameworks, privacy protection, and strategies for strengthening system reliability and resilience. Practical applications across healthcare, finance, smart grids, industrial automation, and other intelligent environments demonstrate the relevance of these approaches to real-world security challenges. The book also considers emerging threats, implementation challenges and future research directions.

Key Themes:

-Fundamental and advanced CPS security architectures.
-Blockchain, cryptography, and steganography for secure CPS.
-Authentication, privacy, data integrity and secure communication.
