Abstract

Computer systems are present in every aspect of modern life. In many of these systems, corruption of data is unavoidable as a result of both intentional and unintentional means. In many systems, this erroneous data can result in severe consequences including financial loss, injury, or death. Critical infrastructure cyber–physical systems utilize intelligent control to improve performance; however, they are heavily data dependent. These systems have the potential to propagate corrupted data, leading to failure. ...
