Digital Twin Degradation: Detecting Cyber Physical Attacks via Temporal Inconsistencies

Excerpt

arXiv:2608.16159v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Digital Twins (DTs) are increasingly used to monitor and analyze Cyber Physical Systems (CPS). However, in adversarial environments, the fidelity of a DT cannot be assumed. Communication delays, data manipulation, sensor degradation, or partial information loss may cause the DT state to diverge from the physical process it represents. Such divergence creates temporal inconsistencies that may reveal cyber physical attacks. This paper proposes a de
