## Description
Operational Technology (OT) is a broad term for software and hardware used to monitor or control physical environments, like industrial control systems, building management systems, and energy production. In the course of the fourth industrial revolution, corporations are increasingly dependent on connecting IT and OT to successfully fulfill their mission. Attacks on those systems and the networks incorporating them are therefore constantly on the rise. Due to their capability to physically interact with their environment, the impact of such an attack can be potentially hazardous. Although especially discussed in the context of the so-called "Industry 4.0", the employment of OT is not limited to manufacturing. Rather, sectors like energy, water supply, transportation, and science are affected as well.
This seminar deals with various security aspects of OT and their implications. The format is intended to represent an academic conference including paper writing, submission, review, rebuttal, revision, presentation, and discussion.
## Topics
Possible topics include:
* Trust Anchors in OT
* OT Remote Safety
* OT Authentication Usability
* OT Logging
* OT Datasets
* Secure PLC Programming
* OT Hardware-in-the-loop Testbeds for Security
* Continous authentication in IoT and IIoT
* History of authentication in OT
* OT PQC
Furthermore, it is possible to suggest own topics within the seminar's thematic scope.
## Course Objectives
* Know and understand different aspects of OT security
* Prepare, write, and review a scientific paper in LaTeX (English; IEEE Conference Proceedings Template; 10 pages excl. list of references and appendix)
* Present and discuss the topic (English; 25 minutes presentation + 15 minutes discussion)
## Capacity
The seminar is suitable for up to 10 students.
