Security, Trust, and Privacy in Cyber-physical Systems (CPS)

This paper explores the convergence of physical and computational components in Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). Security, trust, and privacy are paramount for reliable and resilient operation of these interconnected systems across diverse sectors like healthcare and smart cities. The paper analyses the complex interplay of these factors, identifying practical challenges and proposing solutions to enhance system robustness. By analysing trends, research gaps, and offering actionable recommendations, the study aims to empower stakeholders in fortifying CPS against evolving cyber threats. It emphasizes the need for comprehensive strategies to mitigate risks, protect sensitive information, and ensure data integrity and system reliability. Through a holistic approach integrating security, trust, and privacy mechanisms, the research contributes to advancing effective security measures in CPS, ultimately fostering a culture of trust and resilience in the digital era.
