<p><b>Special Section on Cyber-Physical Threats and Solutions
for Autonomous Transportation Systems</b><br>
Theme: The rapid evolution of technology has radically changed
our everyday lives from multiple points of view. Among the
others, transportation systems are nowadays populated by smart
and interconnected vehicles that need to communicate with each
other and with critical infrastructures to orchestrate traffic
and mobility. Transportation systems are hence operated
through multiple technologies that need to cooperate to
provide efficient delivery of goods and human mobility, as
well as to provide security in the overall networks. The
latter task is complicated by the fact that vehicles
autonomously drive and cooperate in the network without human
intervention. The overall transportation network can be
therefore represented by a cyber-physical system, where a
large number of sensors, actuators, and multiple technologies
are connected and exchange information. To guarantee the
overall network<br>
security, attack detection and the design of suitable
countermeasures play a fundamental role. The security of
cyber-physical systems has been widely studied in literature.
However, most of the proposed solutions target either the
cyber or the physical threats, without providing a unified
view able to detect and mitigate more complicated attacks. The
purpose of this special issue is therefore to collect the
latest research achievements in the cyber-physical threats and
countermeasures in autonomous transportation systems.<br>
<br>
This special section will focus on (but not limited to) the
following topics:<br>
- Methods for detection of cyber-physical attacks in
transportation systems<br>
- Design of countermeasures for cyber-physical attacks in
transportation systems<br>
- Hardware solutions for mitigating the attacks on controller
area networks of automotive<br>
- Protocol and semantics agnostic security solutions to
automotive CPS<br>
- Formal modeling of cyber-physical attacks in transportation
systems<br>
- Privacy preserving solutions for cyber-physical
transportation systems<br>
- Cyber-physical threats in platoons/swarms<br>
- Scalability of the security solutions in autonomous
transportation systems<br>
- Blockchain solutions against cyber-physical threats in
autonomous transportation systems<br>
- Security testing of vulnerabilities in automotive CPS</p>
