LogiC-Diff: Embedding Security Properties Into AI-Enabled Cyber-Physical Systems

The paper introduces LogiC-Diff, a logic-conditioned bi-stage diffusion framework that embeds Signal Temporal Logic (STL) specifications into AI-enabled cyber‑physical system (CPS) forecasting models. By using STL as a conditioning signal, the method repairs inputs and refines outputs to jointly mitigate adversarial perturbations and enforce desired temporal behaviors. Experiments on two real‑world CPS datasets show that LogiC-Diff consistently improves robustness and specification compliance across various sensor faults and cyber attacks, outperforming reconstruction‑based defenses.

Digital Twin-Based Intrusion Detection for Vehicle Powertrain CAN Bus Systems

The paper presents a digital‑twin (DT) based intrusion detection system (IDS) for vehicle powertrain CAN bus traffic, modeling physical relationships among decoded signals to detect payload‑manipulation attacks that preserve normal timing and sequencing. Using a shared‑encoder LSTM trained on 17 Hyundai/Kia CAN signals, the DT flags anomalies when residuals exceed a threshold, achieving high detection rates (up to 94.6%) for stealthy attacks such as continuous drift and masquerade, while a range‑and‑plausibility baseline fails to detect them. The study demonstrates that learning coupled vehicle dynamics enables detection of payload‑level attacks that evade traditional timing‑based IDSs, though false positives remain a challenge.

Physically Consistent Null Space Alignment for Detection of Low-Magnitude False Data Injection Attacks

arXiv:2606. 08473v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: False data injection attacks (FDIAs) introducing small measurement perturbations can still cause large deviations in power system state estimation when the injected signals align with the pseudo-null space of the system model.

Learning Intrusion Response Strategies for OT Systems

The paper presents a formal model for responding to cyber intrusions in Operational Technology (OT) systems using a Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (POMDP) framework. It incorporates realistic partial observability derived from traffic measurements and develops learning‑based solution methods based on Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO). The resulting response strategies are evaluated on an emulated OT system and shown to be effective against several MITRE attack types for the studied use case.
