The course covers introductory topics in cyber-physical systems security. The goal is to expose students to fundamental security primitives specific to cyber-physical systems and to apply them to a broad range of current and future security challenges. Much of the course is taught with the focus on one instance of cyber-physical systems - Industrial Control Systems (ICSs). However, students will be expected to generalize the concepts for other cyber-physical systems.

Students will work with various tools and techniques used by hackers to compromise computer systems or otherwise interfere with normal operations. Students will also use tools that are unique to interacting with cyber-physical systems. The purpose of the class is NOT to teach you how to be a hacker, but rather to teach you the approaches used by hackers so you can better defend against them. Students will be graded based upon exams and completion of assignments.

This course provides academic credit for independent project work conducted under the supervision of a Georgia Tech faculty advisor. The course does not involve regular class meetings, assignments, or examinations. The scope and direction of the project are determined by the student in consultation with the faculty advisor, consistent with the requirements of the degree program.
