Safety and Security Coengineering in Embedded Systems

[...]any security issue at these links—the ground stations or the air vehicles—will cause serious safety issues across the entire avionics domain, affecting not only local air taxis or large drones, but also general aviation as well as large airliners in the vicinity of airports. The dependency of our society on electric energy (smart grid) or other large-scale infrastructures (gas, water, and communications) leads to the same critical implications. [...]in the domain of safety-critical embedded systems of systems, we presently see very high potential in new cooperation-based applications and services, but we also see significant engineering challenges regarding the indispensable assurance of trustworthiness of these systems. [...]safety can no longer be engineered in isolation from security, and we need integrated approaches with respect to the analysis, engineering, and validation of safe and secure cyberphysical systems of systems. [...]we also need specific security mechanisms that are suitable for the considered type of systems.
