Optimal ϵ -stealthy attack in cyber-physical systems

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the optimal stealthy attack problems of cyber-physical system, which is represented as discrete-time linear systems. It is considered that a deceptive attack assumed to be able to hijack and modify the nominal control signals from the controller-actuator channel with the metric of ϵ -stealthiness. Different from the existing literatures, some optimal attack strategies with objectives such that maintaining a fixed level of stealthiness and achieving the maximized performance degradation are designed under some constraints. It is further derived that the results of ours are more relaxed than some methods proposed before. Finally, some numerical simulations are given to illustrate the validity of the theoretical results.
