A PSO-Based Moving Target Defense Control Optimization Scheme

Abstract

This paper proposes the use of a moving target defense (MTD) control scheme to detect and mitigate cyber attacks from malicious adversaries on cyber-physical systems. To ensure the optimal performance of such a MTD control scheme, an optimizer for tuning the controller is developed based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) scheme. Simulation results are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed PSO-based MTD control optimization scheme.
