DEFENDING SIDE CHANNEL ATTACKS IN ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS

A novel methodology for providing security to maintain the confidentiality of additive manufacturing systems during the cyber-physical manufacturing process is featured. This solution is incorporated within the computer aided manufacturing tools such as slicing algorithms and the tool-path generation, which are in the cyber-domain. This effectively mitigates the cross domain physical-to-cyber domain attacks which can breach the confidentiality of the manufacturing system to leak valuable intellectual properties.
