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.

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.
