A Practical Guide on Security and Privacy in Cyber-Physical Systems offers an in-depth look at the recent security and privacy challenges of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) in multiple application domains. It provides readers with a comprehensive view of system architecture for cybersecurity systems before actual implementation. The book first presents a systematic overview on several CPS applications covering standard architectures before zooming into each of the layers of the architectureal design to describe the underpinning technological, security, and privacy issues currently facing some CPS research groups. The guiding principles that should be followed while planning future innovations for such mission-critical systems are also covered. This book captures the latest advancements from many different fields and is a well-balanced combination of academic contributions and industrial applications in CPS. Written for students and professionals at all levels, this book presents the best practices for individuals who want to advance their research and development in this exciting area.
