ABSTRACT
Security Engineering for Resilient Mobile Cyber-Physical Systems
The Historically Black Colleges and Universities - Research Infrastructure for Science and Engineering (HBCU-RISE) program supports the development of research capability at Historically Black Colleges and Universities that offer doctoral degrees in science and engineering disciplines. Supported projects have a unifying research focus in one of the research areas supported by the National Science Foundation, a direct connection to the long-term plans of the host department, institutional strategic plan and mission, and plans for expanding institutional research capacity, as well as increasing the production of doctoral students, especially those underrepresented in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
With National Science Foundation support, Howard University in Washington, DC, will conduct a research project entitled "Security Engineering for Resilient Mobile Cyber-Physical Systems". The project consists of five related activities: (1) develop reproducible mobile cyber-physical system units; (2) design and evaluate a federated framework for incident detection and; (3) design and evaluate coupling of control, communication, and computation in mobile cyber-physical systems with a federated framework; (4) design and evaluate incident detection and response systems; (5) evaluation and validation of the proposed framework.
The proposed research leverages multidisciplinary expertise in cybersecurity for connected systems, transportation cyber physical systems, cognitive radio networking, information security, big data analytics and distributed cloud computing to significantly advance the knowledge base and understanding of the emerging field of cyber-physical system security. The goal is to design, develop and evaluate the cyber-defense solutions for resilient cyber-physical systems using a federated framework. The project also aims to strengthen the institution's Electrical Engineering and Computer Science doctoral program and attract, retain and graduate underrepresented minority graduate and undergraduate students in the field of cyber security research. The project will enhance integrated cybersecurity research and education at Howard University by developing a mobile Physical Systems testbed for implementing and evaluating adaptive cyber-defense solutions for resiliency. The project supports United States government efforts to produce the next-generation of cybersecurity experts needed for government, academia and industry.
This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

PROJECT OUTCOMES REPORT
Disclaimer
This Project Outcomes Report for the General Public is displayed verbatim as submitted by the Principal Investigator (PI) for this award. Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this Report are those of the PI and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation; NSF has not approved or endorsed its content.
Lately, we have experienced enormous growth of networked devices for cyber physical systems and internet of things for different emerging applications. The massive growth of the number of devices and their connectivity has been exploited by cyber criminals. This RISE project studied the design, analysis, and evaluation of Security Engineering for Resilient Mobile Cyber-Physical Systems. Specifically, the significance of the proposed research includes: 1) develop reproducible mobile cyber-physical system units; 2) design and evaluate a federated framework for incident detection and 3) design and evaluate coupling of control, communication, and computation in mobile cyber-physical systems with a federated framework; 4) design and evaluate incident detection and response systems; (5) evaluation and validation of the proposed framework. Research results of this project have been published in over 28 high impact archival journal and conference papers. Research findings and outcome of this project are expected to have a broad societal impact through secure the critical cyber physical systems and support enhancement of our national security. In this project, 5 PhD, 4 MS and over 10 undergraduate minority students were successfully recruited, trained, and graduated. Over 500 undergraduate and graduate students (over 80% of them are African American or women/minority) were exposed to research outcomes of this project through incorporated course modules in the related undergraduate and graduate courses at Howard University.
