The ISO 21434 is a new standard that has been proposed to address the future challenges of automotive cybersecurity. This white paper takes a closer look at the ISO 21434 helping engineers to understand the ISO 21434 parts, the key…
The control barrier function (CBF) has become a fundamental tool in safety-critical systems design since its invention. Typically, the quadratic optimization framework is employed to accommodate CBFs, control Lyapunov functions (CLFs),…
The interblockchain communication protocol (IBC) is an end-to-end, connection-oriented, stateful protocol for reliable, ordered, and authenticated communication between modules on separate distributed ledgers. IBC is designed for…
Gate camouflaging is a technique for obfuscating the function of a circuit against reverse engineering attacks. However, if an adversary has pre-existing knowledge about the set of functions that are viable for an application, random…
The present paper studies a feedback regulation problem, which may be interpreted as an adaptive control problem, but has not yet been studied in the control literature. The problem, which arises in at least two different biological…
Demand side management has gained increasing importance as the penetration of renewable energy grows. Based on a Markov jump process modelling of a group of thermostatic loads, this paper proposes a two level feedback system design between…
Modern autonomous systems, such as flying, legged, and wheeled robots, are generally characterized by high-dimensional nonlinear dynamics, which presents challenges for model-based safety-critical control design. Motivated by the success of…
An integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) framework comprises radar sensing to enable reliable direction beam-based communication between a base station (BS) and mobile user (MU). The ISAC will be an integral part of 6G with potential…
Digitalization of power grids have made them increasingly susceptible to cyber-attacks in the past decade. Iterative cybersecurity testing is indispensable to counter emerging attack vectors and to ensure dependability of critical…
