Prof. Javier Lopez is Full Professor and Head of the Computer Science Department at the University of Malaga. His research activities are mainly focused on network security, security protocols and critical information infrastructures, leading a number of national and international research projects in those areas, including projects in FP5, FP6 and FP7 European Programmes. Prof. Lopez is the Spanish representative in the IFIP Technical Committee 11 on Security and Protection in Information Systems, as well as the Spanish coordinator of ISO/IEC JTC1/SC27 WG5 on Identity management and privacy technologies. He is Co-Editor in Chief of International Journal of Information Security (IJIS), and a member of the Editorial Boards of, amongst others, IEEE Wireless Communications, Computers and Security, IEEE Internet of Things Journal, Journal of Computer Security, IET Information Security, and International Journal on Critical Infrastructure Protection. In the past, he was Chair of the IFIP Working Group 11.11 on Trust Management and Chair of the ERCIM Working Group on Security and Trust Management.

De la contraportada

This book describes cyber-security issues underpinning several cyber-physical systems and several application domains, proposing a common perspective able to collect similarities as well as depict divergences and specific solution methods. Special attention is given to those approaches and technologies that unleash the power of collaboration among stakeholders, in a field based often developed in isolation and segregation of information.

Given the pervasively growing dependency of society on IT technology, and the corresponding proliferation of cyber-threats, there is both an imperative need and opportunity to develop a coherent set of techniques to cope with the changing nature of the upcoming cyber-security challenges. These include evolving threats and new technological means to exploit vulnerabilities of cyber-physical systems that have direct socio-technical, societal and economic consequences for Europe and the world. We witness cyber-attacks on large scale infrastructures for energy, transport, healthcare systems and smart systems. The interplay between security and safety issues is now paramount and will be even more relevant in the future.
