Leaky CPS: Inferring Cyber Information from Physical Properties (and the other way around)

The nature of Cyber-physical systems (CPS) is to integrate physical environments with computing capabilities, building a "channel" between the physical and the cyberworld, with a continuous exchange of data and commands. From this inherent behaviour, observing data/behaviour on one side might lead to leakage of information about the status of the other side. This could be leveraged for both benign and malicious purposes. In this talk, we focus on this issue, discussing some of the core approaches and representative scenarios.
