Description: A cyber physical system [CPS] typically includes a cyber subsystem with both hardware and software for sensing, computing, communications/networking, and control, and a physical subsystem used at home, and in the industries for manufacturing, medical, transportation, energy, environment, and others. Examples of CPS include but are not limited to smart appliances, smart grids, robots, and autonomous vehicles. A CPS is considered emerging if it recently started getting deployed in the real-world or is deemed promising for wide-scale deployment in the near future. The security issues surrounding such emerging systems, however, may prevent end-users from utilizing their full potential, or, even worse, may rule out the chances of their deployment in the future. Currently, these emerging systems are built based on technologies ranging from Internet of Things [IoT] and deep-learning systems to edge and 5G/Next-G systems. In this seminar course, we will discuss some of the latest work in the area of securing emerging CPS, including emerging network technologies and security [NFV, SDN, Edge, 5G/Next-G, etc.], IoT security and privacy [smart home, connected and autonomous vehicles, voice assistant platforms - Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, etc.], and machine learning for security and privacy [adversarial attacks and defenses on deep learning, backdoor attacks and defenses on deep learning, etc.]. The main goal of the special topic course is to help students understand the state of the art in a variety of security topics in emerging CPS. As a secondary goal, students will learn how to read research papers and how to communicate technical material effectively. The special topic course is suitable for students who have a strong interest in network and system security and intent to pursue a career in the area, e.g., Ph.D. students already working in cybersecurity or MS students interested in pursuing a Ph.D. or doing research in the field [in the form of independent studies and/or MS Thesis]. One of the goals of this seminar is to identify, by the end of the semester, a set of open research problems on which students can work during the next semester, e.g., in the form of independent studies.
