Abstract

Cyber-physical systems are becoming famous and indispensable part of smart environment. As we say so, the need for preserving the trust of users is also multiplying with time. The CPS should be designed in such a way that the private and sensitive data of users in a CPS ecosystem needs to be protected without effecting the utility of data. This issue leads to a trade-off between the two aspects which can be balanced by the introduction of conceptual framework of synthetic data and its properties. The essential features of synthetic data are projected in a concise manner in this study which will help the engineers working in this research domain to a certain degree of usefulness.
