Securing Cyber-Physical Systems: A Strategic Review

The current industry focus is on the development of integrated security systems for the upcoming generation of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). To effectively tackle this challenge, researchers should shift their attention towards understanding attack strategies. This study delves into recent literature, identifying research gaps for future exploration. Within the context of the Internet of Things (IoT), our investigation reveals the persistent threat of side-channel attacks on CPS. Linking these attacks to contemporary technology, our research further examines potential risks to CPS. We specifically explore the substantial impact of Artificial Intelligence algorithms on side-channel analysis. Additionally, we discuss hardware security measures aimed at safeguarding CPS from potential side-channel attacks.
