“…A sliding mode control for the resilience against DoS attacks in nonlinear and chaotic systems has been proposed in [160]. An acknowledgebased cheating scheme is proposed in [161]. Another technique is [162], where it proposes a decomposition of Kalman filters as a weighted sum of local state estimates under sparse sensor deception attacks (A 2 ) into a more secure estimation framework.…”

The comprehensive integration of instrumentation, communication, and control into physical systems has led to the study of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), a field that has recently garnered increased attention. A key concern that is ubiquitous in CPS is a need to ensure security in the face of cyber attacks. In this paper, we carry out a survey of systems and control methods that have been proposed for the security of CPS. We classify these methods into three categories based on the type of defense proposed against the cyberattacks: prevention, resilience, and detection & isolation. A unified threat assessment metric is proposed in order to evaluate how CPS security is achieved in each of these three cases. Also surveyed are risk assessment tools and the effect of network topology on CPS security. An emphasis has been placed on power and transportation applications in the overall survey. Index Terms-cyber-physical systems, resilient control I. INTRODUCTION Motivated by concerns about sustainability, efficiency, and resiliency, several sectors including energy, transportation, water, and healthcare systems have witnessed significant advances in instrumentation, monitoring, and automation over the past decade. The resulting integration of information, communication, and computation with physically engineered systems demands a detailed investigation into the analysis and synthesis of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) so as to realize the desired performance metrics of efficiency, sustainability, and safety. The extensive and intricate presence of cyber components also introduces a vulnerability of unwanted access to these systems. The available communication technologies, referred to as SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition), are witnessing significant advances, triggering a shift from protected, closed, and wired networks to open and wireless networks which, as a side effect, are more vulnerable to outside interference.

“…In particular, the sensor and the attacker are considered to be the players of a game. In the setting in [ 65 , 66 ], the players attempt to optimize not only the timing but also the signal and the interference power levels of transmissions and attacks. In the multi-channel estimation problem considered in [ 67 ], the sensor aims to optimally select the wireless channels that will be used to transmit packets, and, moreover, the attacker wants to optimally select the channels that will be blocked.…”

In this paper, we provide an overview of recent research efforts on networked control systems under denial-of-service attacks. Our goal is to discuss the utility of different attack modeling and analysis techniques proposed in the literature for addressing feedback control, state estimation, and multi-agent consensus problems in the face of jamming attacks in wireless channels and malicious packet drops in multi-hop networks. We discuss several modeling approaches that are employed for capturing the uncertainty in denial-of-service attack strategies. We give an outlook on deterministic constraint-based modeling ideas, game-theoretic and optimization-based techniques and probabilistic modeling approaches. A special emphasis is placed on tail-probability based failure models, which have been recently used for describing jamming attacks that affect signal to interference-plus-noise ratios of wireless channels as well as transmission failures on multi-hop networks due to packet-dropping attacks and non-malicious issues. We explain the use of attack models in the security analysis of networked systems. In addition to the modeling and analysis problems, a discussion is provided also on the recent developments concerning the design of attack-resilient control and communication protocols.

This paper considers remote state estimation in cyber‐physical systems (CPSs) with multiple sensors, where measurements of each sensor are transmitted to the corresponding remote estimator over a shared communication network with interdependent security. A stochastic non‐cooperative game framework with asymmetric information is provided, in which each sensor is in pursuit of minimizing the security investment cost on the first stage associated with the expected error covariance as small as possible at the corresponding remote estimator on the second stage. The asymmetry of information among sensors poses a challenge to characterize or compute the Nash equilibria (NE). To overcome the challenge, based on the common information among sensors, the game with asymmetric information is transformed into another game with symmetric information such that a subclass of NE refer to common information based Markov perfect equilibria of the original game can be achieved by using a backward induction algorithm. Finally, a numerical example is presented to verify the obtained results.
