Cyber-Physical System (CPS) represents systems that join both hardware and software components to perform real-time services. Maintaining the system's reliability is critical to the continuous delivery of these services. However, the CPS running environment is full of uncertainties and can easily lead to performance degradation. As a result, the need for a recovery technique is highly needed to achieve resilience in the system, with keeping in mind that this technique should be as green as possible. This early doctorate proposal, suggests a game theory solution to achieve resilience and green in CPS. Game theory has been known for its fast performance in decision-making, helping the system to choose what maximizes its payoffs. The proposed game model is described over a real-life collaborative artificial intelligence system (CAIS), that involves robots with humans to achieve a common goal. It shows how the expected results of the system will achieve the resilience of CAIS with minimized CO2 footprint.

Model compression is one of the most preferred techniques for efficiently deploying deep neural networks (DNNs) on resource- constrained Internet of Things (IoT) platforms. However, the simply compressed model is often vulnerable to adversarial attacks, leading to a conflict between robustness and efficiency, especially for IoT devices exposed to complex real-world scenarios. We, for the first time, address this problem by developing a novel framework dubbed Magical-Decomposition to simultaneously enhance both robustness and efficiency for hardware. By leveraging a hardware-friendly model compression method called singular value decomposition, the defending algorithm can be supported by most of the existing DNN hardware accelerators. To step further, by using a recently developed DNN interpretation tool, the underlying scheme of how the adversarial accuracy can be increased in the compressed model is highlighted clearly. Ablation studies and extensive experiments under various attacks/models/datasets consistently validate the effectiveness and scalability of the proposed framework.

Software Defined Networking (SDN) is an emerging technology, which provides the flexibility in communicating among network. Software Defined Network features separation of the data forwarding plane from the control plane which includes controller, resulting centralized network. Due to centralized control, the network becomes more dynamic, and resources are managed efficiently and cost-effectively. Network Virtualization is transformation of network from hardware-based to software-based. Network Function Virtualization will permit implementation, adaptable provisioning, and even management of functions virtually. The use of virtualization of SDN networks permits network to strengthen the features of SDN and virtualization of NFV and has for that reason has attracted notable research awareness over the last few years. SDN platform introduces network security challenges. The network becomes vulnerable when a large number of requests is encapsulated inside packet\_in messages and passed to controller from switch for instruction, if it is not recognized by existing flow entry rules. which will limit the resources and become a bottleneck for the entire network leading to DDoS attack. It is necessary to have quick provisional methods to prevent the switches from breaking down. To resolve this problem, the researcher develops a mechanism that detects and mitigates flood attacks. This paper provides a comprehensive survey which includes research relating frameworks which are utilized for detecting attack and later mitigation of flood DDoS attack in Software Defined Network (SDN) with the help of NFV.

This research investigates efficient architectures for the implementation of the CRYSTALS-Dilithium post-quantum digital signature scheme on reconfigurable hardware, in terms of speed, memory usage, power consumption and resource utilisation. Post quantum digital signature schemes involve a significant computational effort, making efficient hardware accelerators an important contributor to future adoption of schemes. This is work in progress, comprising the establishment of a comprehensive test environment for operational profiling, and the investigation of the use of novel architectures to achieve optimal performance.
