The migration towards digital control systems creates new security threats that can endanger
the safety of industrial infrastructures. Addressing the convergence of safety and security …

Various system metrics have been proposed for measuring the quality of computer-based
systems, such as dependability and security metrics for estimating their performance and …

Designers of cryptographic systems are at a disadvantage to most other engineers, in that
information on how their systems fail is hard to get: their major users have traditionally been …

The main goal of the series has been to develop, illustrate and promulgate the scientific
basis of computer programming, and its application in software engineering on an industrial …

Computer systems are increasingly employed in circumstances where their failure (or even
their correct operation, if they are built to flawed requirements) can have serious …

The meaning of the terms “security” and “safety” varies considerably from one context to
another, leading to potential ambiguities. These ambiguities are very problematic in the …

This paper reviews a selection of target levels for safety and security in order to identify their
common properties. It is accompanied by a brief investigation of several key terms used in …

The paper discusses mutual relationships of safety and security properties in cyber-physical
systems (CPS). Generally, safety impacts the system's environment while environment …

For many applications where interaction between robots and older people takes place,
safety and security are key dimensions to consider.'Safety'refers to a perceived threat of …

This paper deals with the problem of interpreting security and dependability in such a way
that they can be incorporated into the same framework. This calls for a modified …
