Russia Abstract As elements of complex information systems, embedded
devices define informational and physical connections between the level of
software control of the system on the one hand, and its technical environment
and users on the other. Operating in a potentially volatile and untrusted
cyber-physical environment, using insufficiently secure communication
channels and sensors as well as various external influences cause such
devices are subject to specific attacking actions. As a result the design of
such systems is a challenging task often requiring expert based solutions.
The main contribution of the paper is a design technique for secure embedded
devices on the basis of combinations of security components, optimization
approach and developed software tools for decision making support. The
correctness of the technique is confirmed by its use in the development of
the integrated cyberphysical security system. Keywords: design of secure cyber-physical
systems, embedded security, cyber-physical security, security
