    The coming decades may see large-scale deployment of networked cyber-physical systems to address global needs in areas such as energy, water, health care, and transportation. However, as recent events have shown, such systems are vulnerable to cyber attacks. We begin by revisiting classical linear systems theory, developed in more innocent times, from a security-conscious, even paranoid, viewpoint. Then we present a general technique, called “dynamic watermarking,” for detecting any sort of malicious activity in networked systems of sensors and actuators. We then present a field test experimental demonstration of this technique on an automobile on a test track, a process control system, a simulation study of defense against an attack on Automatic Gain Control (AGC) in a synthetic power system, and an emulated attack on a solar-powered home. This is joint work with Bharadwaj Satchidanandan, Jaewon Kim, Woo Hyun Ko, Tong Huang, Lantian Shangguan, Kenny Chour, Jorge Ramos, Prasad Enjeti, Le Xie, and Swaminathan Gopalswamy.

    P. R. Kumar is a Professor of Electrical & Computer Engineering and Industrial & Systems Engineering at Texas A&M University. Prior to that, he served in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (1977-84) and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Coordinated Science Laboratory at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (1985-2011). His current focus includes Machine Learning (ML), Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), security, privacy, UTM, 5G, wireless networks, and power systems. He is a member of the U.S. National Academy of Engineering, the World Academy of Sciences, and Indian National Academy of Engineering. Honors include a Doctor Honoris Causa by ETH, the IEEE Field Award for Control Systems, the Eckman Award of AACC, the Ellersick Prize of IEEE ComSoc, the Outstanding Contribution Award of ACM SIGMOBILE, the Infocom Achievement Award, and the SIGMOBILE Test-of-Time Paper Award. He is a Fellow of IEEE and ACM.
