The increased growth of cyber-physical systems, controlling multiple production processes within the manufacturing industry, has led to an industry susceptible to cyber-physical attacks. Differing from traditional cyber-attacks in their ability to alter the physical world, cyber-physical attacks have been increasing in number since the early 2000's. To combat and ultimately prevent the malicious intent of such attacks, the field of cyber-physical security was launched. Cyber-physical security efforts can be seen across many industries that employ cyber-physical systems but little work has been done to secure manufacturing systems. Through the completion of four research objectives, this work provides the foundation necessary to begin securing manufacturing systems from cyber-physical attacks. First, this work is motivated through the systematic review of literature surrounding the topic. This objective not only identifies and highlights the need for research efforts within the manufacturing industry, but also defines the research field. Second, a framework is developed to identify cyber-physical vulnerabilities within manufacturing systems. The framework is further developed into a tool allowing manufacturers to more easily identify the vulnerabilities that exist within their manufacturing systems. This tool will allow a manufacturer to utilize the developed framework and begin the steps necessary to secure the manufacturing industry. Finally, game theoretic models is applied to cyber-physical security in manufacturing to model the interactions between adversaries and defenders. The results of this work provide the manufacturing industry with the tools and motivation necessary to begin securing manufacturing facilities from malicious cyber-physical attacks and create a more resilient industry. / PHD / Cyber-physical attacks and cyber-physical security differ from traditional cyber-only incidents in their ability to alter the physical world, cyber-physical attacks have been increasing in number since the early 2000’s.

With the increasing popularity of blockchain - the cryptocurrency technology, the decentralized potential of the Blockchain technique is driving a new wave across the manufacturing industry. This paper introduce how to use the blockchain technique as a tool for solving supply chain related tasks in manufacture industry, and drive quantum leaps in efficiency, agility and innovation comparing with traditional centralized management system. This paper introduces the blockchain technique with its value properties and the requirement of this technique from manufacture industry. It also presents a clear blockchain architecture based on manufacture industry supply chain management mechanism describing its characteristics, unique consensus algorithms, smart contracts, network, scalability, databases. The paper also gives out a practical supply chain Dapp upon this architecture. / I och med det ökande intresset för kryptovaluta-teknologin Blockchain, går decentraliseringen av Blockchain-tekniken som en ny våg över tillverkningsindustrin. Denna uppsats syftar till att introducera hur tekniken av blockchain kan användas som ett verktyg för att lösa problem relaterade till leverantörskedjan i tillverkningen. Den belyser även vilka fördelar tekniken har gällande effektivitet, flexibilitet och förnyelse jämfört med traditionella centraliserade styrningssystem. Arbetet presenterar fördelarna med blockchain och hur industrin är i behov av denna teknik. Uppsatsen presenterar även en tydlig blockchain konstruerad struktur baserad på tillverkningskedjans mekanism som består av unika algoritmer, nätverk och databaser. Ett praktiskt exempel på en decentraliserad applikation baserat på denna struktur ges även.
