Description
Su's book describes analysis and control against smart cyberattacks in discrete event systems (DES). This book is the first in the DES community to provide a thorough introduction of smart cyberattacks on supervisory control systems modelled by regular languages or finite-state automata.
"Smart attacks" cannot be detected by the supervisor until an irreversible process towards ensured damage occurs. An attack may be conducted in either the observation channel (i.e., the supervisor's input of the supervisor) or the command channel (i.e., the supervisor's output), or both simultaneously. Therefore, defense strategies against these attacks are urgently needed. Su provides a comprehensive overview of the latest theories and includes empirical examples to illustrate concepts and methods. By centering on what information is available and how such information is used, the readers are provided with methods to evaluate cyber vulnerability of a given system and design a resilient supervisor against relevant smart attacks. This book comprises three parts. Firstly, Su introduces the required concepts and techniques related to DES and supervisory control. Secondly, he introduces different types of smart attacks that intercept and manipulate information in sensor and command channels in a standard closed-loop control system. Finally, he presents resilient defense strategies against relevant types of attacks.
By focusing on conceptual introduction and systematic analysis, this book provides a solid theoretical foundation for future exploration by researchers and graduate students who are interested in cybersecurity research, not necessarily limited to those in the DES community. To illustrate the practical relevance of this research, realistic examples are used throughout the book. Readers are recommended to have a background in formal language theory 103 Line drawings, black and white; 2 Halftones, black and white; 105 Illustrations, black and white
