Abstract

Due to the decentralized nature and security attributes of blockchain, cyber-physical systems (CPS) emerge more and more interdependent. However, an important challenge of such interdependent CPS is the cascading failures. Thus, how to analyze the invulnerability of interdependent coupled CPS becomes critical and indispensable. In this paper, we have modeled the interdependent CPS in the blockchain environment, and analyzed the cascading failures process based on the network characteristics. Besides, based on simulation experiments, we analyze the main factor affecting the invulnerability of CPS.
