Sécurité informationnelle des systèmes cyberphysiques et risques à la santé et sécurité : quelle responsabilité pour le fabricant ?
Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are computerised objects with network capabilities that act on the physical world. Examples of such systems include autonomous vehicles, intelligent pacemakers and some devices in the Internet of Things (IoT). Due to their nature, they may cause important injury in the physical domain as a result of a cybersecurity breach. This master’s thesis aims at uncovering, from the principles of liability law in Quebec, an extra-contractual liability framework applicable to the manufacturer of cyber-physical systems and capable of approaching the specificities of a problem set at the border between the virtual and physical realms.
