Survey of Automotive Cyber-Physical System Security

This chapter will provide a survey on cyber-physical systems security related to automobiles. In modern vehicles, there has been discussion on how automobiles fit into the world of cyber-physical systems, considering their interaction with both the cyber and physical worlds and interconnected systems. With many modern vehicles being connected to the outside world, there are many vulnerabilities introduced. Modern cars contain many electronic control units and millions of lines of code, which, if compromised, could have fatal consequences. Interfaces to the outside world (e.g., in-vehicle infotainment) may be used as a vector to attack these critical components.

A Bayesian Network-based Quantum procedure for Failure Risk Analysis

<div> <div> <div> <p>Studying the propagation of failure probabilities in interconnected systems like that of electrical distribution networks is traditionally performed by means of Monte Carlo simulations. In this paper, we propose a procedure to create a model of the system in a quantum computer using a restricted representation of Bayesian networks. Some examples of this implementation on sample models are presented using Qiskit and tested using both quantum simulators and IBM Quantum hardware. Results show a correlation in the precision of the results when considering the number of Monte Carlo iterations alongside the sum of shots in a single quantum circuit execution. </p> </div> </div> </div>

The End of the Tunnel

In settler states, Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) girls and young women are targeted for specific kinds of social service interventions embedded in the gendered genocidal logics of colonial ideologies. Interlocking forms of violent carceral capture operate across settler institutions such as child welfare, immigration, and justice systems that are tasked with policing and criminalizing nonwhite girls. Conceptualizing these interconnected systems as a transcarceral pipeline, we examine their inner workings and impacts on Indigenous girls and BIPOC refugee girls in Canada through two sites of inquiry: child welfare systems targeting Indigenous girls and young mothers; and the immigration-child-welfare pipeline for refugee girls of color. Our analysis stresses the urgency of anticolonial systems of care grounded in sovereignty-making collective relations.
