While we can't push back the overall schedule of exercises more because of time until the end of the lecture period, we extended the submission deadline slightly to THU evening now (i.e. in about 33 hours from now) to allow you to do another update if you were almost done. Please be aware that we already released ex3 sheet and its deadline will remain 2 weeks from now, TUE 23:59 on 3.6.25. We plan to always hand out new exercises either on Monday or Tuesday, and have Deadlines on Tuesday nights 2 weeks later. We updated ex3 instruction sheet with the correct deadlines (i.e. 3.6. at 23:59), no other changes were done to the exercises. We also released points for ex1. Regards, |

Lecture location is the lecture hall at CISPA (E9.1 on campus, Stuhlsatzenhaus 5). I will generally also livestream to zoom (link in material collection). As this will be the first lecture, I'll introduce the lecture format and planned content for this year, and will also check with you on preferred content from your side. I plan to record lectures in this class and to put them on Youtube afterwards, but please be aware that those recordings are not guaranteed as they may fail due to various technical issues. Please make sure to attend the lecture! |
Cyber-Physical Systems Security
The lecture will take place every Friday from 14.15-15.45pm, starting April 11. It will be taught by Nils Ole Tippenhauer. Roughly the first half will focus on drones and their security and the second half will focus on general Cyber-Physical Systems/ Industrial Control Systems security. We currently plan to have a mix of interactive lectures via Zoom, and prepared videos. In addition, there will be practical exercises using Linux w/ ArduPilot and other tools.
This lecture is an advanced lecture. Previous knowledge from CySec1 and CySec2 (or Security) is recommended. If you took my advanced lecture Physical-Layer Security in the past, you CANNOT take this course, as there are significant overlaps. While the lecture will touch physical-layer concepts such as (wireless) signals, no background in that area is assumed. The lecture will cover thee main topic areas: attacks (and countermeasures) that leverage physical channels (e.g., side-channel attacks), attacks (and countermeasures) involving control systems (e.g., drones, evasion attacks, monitoring systems), and security for cyber-physical systems (such as industrial control systems).
The lecture will be complemented by 6 exercises. Due to related effort, this course can only accommodate up to 40 students.
There will be a final written examination with no second backup slot. The exam date is 20.08.25 at 10am in the CISPA Bernd Therre lecture hall (0.05 in E9.1).
