Secure Energy Efficient Supply Chains. 3 credits

Catalog description

This course explores the application of Cyber Security concepts to secure supply chain networks and enable data-intensive energy efficiency. The focus is on techniques that enable supply chains in diverse sectors to employ IIoT devices while avoiding a substantial increase of its attack surface, enabling pervasive data collection to support automation, integration, and process enhancements. A special attention will be given to the criteria and metrics for evaluating supply chains with respect to their energy efficiency and carbon footprint reduction. Topics include Secure IIOT architectures, e-ROI, carbon footprint assessment, modeling and simulation of supply chain security, cyber-physical identification, tracking, and verification of parts and products in a uniform, hierarchical fashion, digital twins, counterfeit detection, product recall, and supply chain re-routing for higher energy efficiency. Offered by Cyber Security Engineering . May not be repeated for credit. Equivalent to SYST 681 .
