Approach for identifying components worthy of protection of cyber-physical systems (CPS) based on a system model

This paper will improve the system protection for Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) by the use of the specification technique CONSENS. Therefore an approach is demonstrated and validated. The possibilities how the system protection can be integrated in Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and especially in CONSENS are shown and discussed. First results how the different views on the system can be used to identify components worth protecting of CPS are presented. The identified components are of crucial importance in order to ensure the protection of CPS.
