Anomaly detection (AD) is the detection of patterns in data under expected behavior. In an
industrial environment, any equipment or system that breaks down will affect productivity …

Medical devices are complex cyber-physical systems incorporating emergent hardware and
software components. However, this complexity leads to a wide attack surface posing …

Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) play critical roles in industrial control systems (ICS).
Providing hardware peripherals and firmware support for control programs (ie, a PLC's …

Ensuring security in real-time and safety-critical systems is becoming extremely challenging,
in particular due to the increasingly connectivity of these systems, such as in emerging …

Network-connected embedded systems grow on a large scale as a critical part of Internet of
Things, and these systems are under the risk of increasing malware. Anomaly-based …

An empirical justification of a neuron-adaptive activation function for feedforward neural
networks has been proposed in this paper. Simulation results reveal that feedforward neural …

Medical devices require the provision of life-critical functionality even under adverse
conditions. We imagine to model (at design time) and to switch (at run-time) security modes …

Code reuse techniques can circumvent existing security measures. For example, attacks
such as Return Oriented Programming (ROP) use fragments of the existing code base to …

In recent years, significant developments were introduced within the vehicular domain,
evolving the vehicles to become a network of many embedded systems distributed …

Medical devices have become indispensable for millions of patients worldwide. They
increasingly depend on software and interoperate with other devices wirelessly and through …
