Data is bombarding in every area of the industry and information gathered from the available data is the raw material for the online society. By the evolution of the telecom sector and various user-preferred applications, the internet has become inevitable. It, one of the huge technologies that are going to dominate the internet society, is the much expected technological evolution of this decade. Since everything is made online, all the activity happening & happened should be stored/retrieved in an efficient way. In this paper, we propose a decision process that has decision-making process and game theory along with a coding technique to acquire confident knowledge from the available data set in a secure way. Our mechanism is simulated and the results show a considerable improvement in the decision-making process. Also, analysis proves our algorithm is better in terms of quality parameters than the existing algorithms.

“…In the smart-world systems (e.g., smart cities, smart grid, smart transportation), a number of efforts have been devoted to studying the impacts of cyber attacks as well as the development of defensive schemes [5,6,7,11,13,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,27,28,29,30,31,32]. For example, Ericsson et al [33] presented some important issues on the cyber security and information security in the energy-based cyber-physical systems.…”

“…Particularly, in an iterated game, the selfish behavior of participants can lead to a loss for both their opponents and themselves. There are a number of research efforts focused on the iterated game [25,38,60,61,62,63,64,65]. The iterated game problem has been considered to have no unilateral ultimate solution as the results of the game are jointly determined by all participants.…”

Nonetheless, most of the existing efforts focus on strategies of attack or defense in a singular or specifically unique security issue, often in which only one adversary launches an attack at a time.…”

Towards an Iterated Game Model with Multiple Adversaries in Smart-World Systems

Diverse and varied cyber-attacks challenge the operation of the smart-world system that is supported by Internet-of-Things (IoT) (smart cities, smart grid, smart transportation, etc.) and must be carefully and thoughtfully addressed before widespread adoption of the smart-world system can be fully realized. Although a number of research efforts have been devoted to defending against these threats, a majority of existing schemes focus on the development of a specific defensive strategy to deal with specific, often singular threats. In this paper, we address the issue of coalitional attacks, which can be launched by multiple adversaries cooperatively against the smart-world system such as smart cities. Particularly, we propose a game-theory based model to capture the interaction among multiple adversaries, and quantify the capacity of the defender based on the extended Iterated Public Goods Game (IPGG) model. In the formalized game model, in each round of the attack, a participant can either cooperate by participating in the coalitional attack, or defect by standing aside. In our work, we consider the generic defensive strategy that has a probability to detect the coalitional attack. When the coalitional attack is detected, all participating adversaries are penalized. The expected payoff of each participant is derived through the equalizer strategy that provides participants with competitive benefits. The multiple adversaries with the collusive strategy are also considered. Via a combination of theoretical analysis and experimentation, our results show that no matter which strategies the adversaries choose (random strategy, win-stay-lose-shift strategy, or even the adaptive equalizer strategy), our formalized game model is capable of enabling the defender to greatly reduce the maximum value of the expected average payoff to the adversaries via provisioning sufficient defensive resources, which is reflected by setting a proper penalty factor against the adversaries. In addition, we extend our game model and analyze the extortion strategy, which can enable one participant to obtain more payoff by extorting his/her opponents. The evaluation results show that the defender can combat this strategy by encouraging competition among the adversaries, and significantly suppress the total payoff of the adversaries via setting the proper penalty factor.

“…If attacks affect the stability of power systems, control strategies must be applied. A mitigation framework and control strategies of generators are proposed in [46] to maintain system stability with respect to switching attacks. In the study of [47], both cyber and physical mitigation steps are included.…”

Cyber-Physical System Security of a Power Grid: State-of-the-Art

Abstract:As part of the smart grid development, more and more technologies are developed and deployed on the power grid to enhance the system reliability. A primary purpose of the smart grid is to significantly increase the capability of computer-based remote control and automation. As a result, the level of connectivity has become much higher, and cyber security also becomes a potential threat to the cyber-physical systems (CPSs). In this paper, a survey of the state-of-the-art is conducted on the cyber security of the power grid concerning issues of: (1) the structure of CPSs in a smart grid; (2) cyber vulnerability assessment; (3) cyber protection systems; and (4) testbeds of a CPS. At Washington State University (WSU), the Smart City Testbed (SCT) has been developed to provide a platform to test, analyze and validate defense mechanisms against potential cyber intrusions. A test case is provided in this paper to demonstrate how a testbed helps the study of cyber security and the anomaly detection system (ADS) for substations.
