Abstract:
Additive Manufacturing (AM) is transforming the manufacturing industry by reducing prototyping time and easing the production of complex parts. Notably, use of AM has gained traction in the medical and aerospace fields, and is rapidly increasing in usage in traditional industry. However, AM's cyber-physical nature opens systems up to vulnerabilities that can result in both cyber and physical damage. In this paper, we document and categorize the state of the art in Additive Manufacturing security research in three ways - by % categorizing research using Microsoft's Spoofing, Tampering, Repudiation, Information Disclosure, Denial of Service and Elevation of Privilege (STRIDE) threat model, by the intent of the attacker, and by the overall purpose of the published works. We also provide a list of security recommendations for AM that could aid in the design of secure AM systems. We hope our approach will enable an understanding of AM security from both the attacker's and defender's perspective, and serve as a survey of relevant research in the field, and stimulate more research into securing AM systems.
