mso-fareast-font-family:SimSun;mso-bidi-language:EN-US" class="">Smart Cyber-physical
systems such as smart vehicles, smart grid, smart healthcare systems, and smart
homes collect data from their environment and communicating systems and use the
knowledge they derive from the data and/or the raw data to adjust their behaviors.
The impacts of attacks on these systems combined with the frequent
identification of new vulnerability types and the non-determinism of the
behaviors of these systems make them high target to malicious intents. In
addition, the devices collect extensive amount of private data that could be
used for purposes other than the ones expected by their owners. <o:p class=""></o:p></span></p><div style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify;" class=""><span style="font-size:9.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;
