Literature Review
Physical system of cyber security is capable of adding some intelligence to the social
life and associating the virtual world with the physical world. The Physical devices like
cameras and sensors has integrated with the components of the cyber security and an
analytical system has been form to respond to the dynamic changes in every scenario of the
real-world. There is a wide range of application in the Cyber Security of Physical System that
include the smart medical technology, environmental control, traffic management and
assisted living. Cyber Security physical system is the integration of Cloud Computing and
WSN. In one of the research methodology, the architecture of Cyber Security Physical
System capture several different physical information, event detection, data analysis that are
reliable, and security. The Cyber Security with its Physical System have several benefits that
integrate the cyber and the physical world. The physical system is interoperable with Cloud
Computing and WSNs that provide some standards to networking. There are multiple
platforms that involve physical system conceptually that are interacting through a
communication networks. The characteristics of network integration is provided by the
Physical System of Cyber security. One of them is the media access control technique whose
effects are on the system dynamic, software, and middleware for coordination over the
networks, fault tolerances and network transactions timing control.
The Physical system of Cyber Security provide another benefit that is the interaction
between the System and the Human. The human perception and the system situational
awareness with its changing environment that are critical parameter for decision making for
dynamic and complex systems. Human has now become an essential part of the system
through which it becomes easier for interaction because it has become difficult to model a
human with the use of standalone systems. The Physical System of Cyber Security is a design
that operate and evolve with unreliable and new environment. The unknown system of Cyber

security demonstrate the behaviour of further study and develop into an improved system.
With enhanced system interaction of cyber infrastructure and sensors, the Physical System of
Cyber Security provide better performance with regard to feedback and automatic redesign.
The Physical System ensure with better computational resources and the CPU subsystems
with multiple sensing entities, end-user maintenance, multiple communication mechanisms
and high-level programming language. This ensures the performance of the Physical system
to be better. In one of the research it was found that the properties of Cloud Computing is
utilize by the Physical system of Cyber Security as it is able to scale the system. Without any
investment in the additional resources, there are some necessary infrastructure that are
acquire by the users.
The Cyber Security Physical System combines with the physical dynamics that are
inherently heterogeneous with the computational processes. It may happen that the domain of
the cyber combine the software modelling, programming tools, and network infrastructure.
Simultaneously, the physical domain combine the chemical processes, mechanical motion
control, human involvement and biological processes. Some design methodologies and tools
can be provided by the physical system of cyber security with large scale design and
understanding of the systems complexity. Due to sensor – cloud integration, the physical
system provide autonomy. However, the physical system of Cyber Security is a closes-loop
system. The sensors of the system make some of the physical dynamics measurements. All
the process of measurement are done in the cyber subsystems. These drive the applications
and the actuators that has affected the physical processes. Flexibility is provided by the
Physical System of the Cyber Security. The system also provide fast response as it has the
capability to process and communicate faster through sensor and infrastructure of the cloud.
