Developing Software Sensors for Digital Twin based Cybersecurity

Principal Investigator: Berkay Celik

Digital twins are a virtual copy of physical devices and are used to create digital models that update and change alongside their real-life counterparts. In this effort, we propose to develop digital twins of sensors called software sensors as the virtual backup of the corresponding physical devices. The emergence of computationally powerful physical systems, particularly deployed in mission-critical systems, allows us to install complete monitoring and recovery software components. Taking advantage of this fact, a software sensor will continuously predict the readings of the corresponding physical sensor.
