Cyber-physical Systems' Safety and Security KTH Royal Institute of Technology

Overview

What you will study

The Cyber-physical Systems' Safety and Security course offered by KTH Royal Institute of Technology talks about how safety and security are increasingly important for the design of complex technological systems, as they are becoming more intelligent, always connected and influencing the societal infrastructure at all levels.

Citizens and experts shall be able to discuss the implications of safety and cybersecurity at different levels of society and industry; relate to best practice during the development of trustworthy cyber-physical systems (CPS) and the socio-technical systems they are used in; identify and define properties related to safety and cybersecurity in industrial and research projects; and use and adapt different tools and methodologies for analysing and verifying such properties as relevant for different industrial domains.

After passing the course, the student should be able to:

• Derive, explain, and evaluate safety and security aspects of CPS, and their relationships, according to best practice.

• Construct models of risks, hazards, threats, and CPS.

• Derive and specify safety and security properties to eliminate, reduce or deal with risks.

• Apply analysis methods and tools to models of CPS.

• Explain and compare different approaches to verifying and validating safety and security.
