Abstract: Systems that integrate cyber and physical aspects to create cyber-physical systems (CPS) are becoming increasingly complex, but demonstrating the security of CPS is hard and security is frequently compromised. These compromises can lead to safety failures, putting lives at risk. Attack Defense Trees with sequential conjunction (ADS) are an approach to identifying attacks on a system and identifying the interaction between attacks and the defenses that are present within the CPS. We present a semantic model for ADS and propose a methodology for generating ADS automatically. The methodology takes as input a CPS system model and a library of templates of attacks and defenses. We demonstrate and validate the effectiveness of the ADS generation methodology using an example from the automotive domain.
