The Role of Blockchain in Cyber Physical Systems

Abstract

This abstract explores how blockchain enhances security, transparency, and efficiency in cyber-physical systems (CPS). It addresses CPS vulnerabilities and emphasizes the need for robust security measures. It explains blockchain's decentralized architecture and cryptographic protocols, showing how it tackles data tampering and unauthorized access. The abstract discusses various blockchain applications in CPS, such as secure data logging and decentralized control. Real-world examples demonstrate benefits like enhanced resilience and transparency. It also covers implications for system performance and regulatory compliance, highlighting blockchain's transformative potential in bolstering CPS security.
