Abstract

Virtual and digital twins are means of high value to characterize, model and control physical
systems, providing the basis for a simulation environment and lab. In the case of a digital
twin, it is possible to have a replica of a physical environment by means of reliable sensor
networks and accurate data. In this paper we analyse in detail the threats to the reliability
of the information extracted from these sensor networks, along with a set of challenges to
guarantee data liveness and trustworthiness.
