Security is an increasing concern for real-time systems (RTS). Over the last decade or so,
researchers have demonstrated attacks and defenses aimed at such systems. In this article …

Modern embedded and cyber-physical systems are ubiquitous. Many critical cyber-physical
systems have real-time requirements (eg, avionics, automobiles, power grids, manufacturing …

Recent studies have revealed that control programs running on embedded devices suffer
from both control-oriented attacks (eg, code-injection or code-reuse attacks) and data …

Considering the exceptional growth of Cyber Physical Systems (CPSs), multiple and
potentially grave security challenges have emerged in this field. Different vulnerabilities and …

The electric grid modernization effort relies on the extensive deployment of microgrid (MG)
