Verifying cyber attack properties

The heterogeneous, evolving and distributed nature of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) means that there is little chance of performing a top down development or anticipating all critical requirements such devices will need to satisfy individually and collectively. This paper describes an approach to verifying system requirements, when they become known, by performing an automated refinement check of its composed components abstracted from the actual implementation.
