Abstract
Since fixed alarm thresholds fail to distinguish whether fluctuations in switched systems (SSs) are due to replay attacks (RAs) or normal switching behaviors, we propose a security control scheme. We first develop a switching--learning-based RA-detection method with time-varying encryption/decryption functions to learn a alarm threshold for identifying the causes of state fluctuations in SSs. Second, an RA-detection-based event-triggered mechanism is proposed, with data transmission arranged to shorten the asynchronous duration according to RA-detection results and the dissipativity level of SSs. Additionally, the cross supply rate and supply rate elucidate the impact of active and inactive subsystems on the energy dynamics of SSs under actual switching or RAs. Third, the RA-detection-based switching rule utilizes system state estimation alongside RA-detection results to address the issue of consecutive asynchronous switching caused by RAs. Finally, the security control scheme of SSs under the RA-detection is verified by studying collaborative dynamic positioning control for three unmanned surface vessels.
期刊介绍:
Automatica is a leading archival publication in the field of systems and control. The field encompasses today a broad set of areas and topics, and is thriving not only within itself but also in terms of its impact on other fields, such as communications, computers, biology, energy and economics. Since its inception in 1963, Automatica has kept abreast with the evolution of the field over the years, and has emerged as a leading publication driving the trends in the field.
After being founded in 1963, Automatica became a journal of the International Federation of Automatic Control (IFAC) in 1969. It features a characteristic blend of theoretical and applied papers of archival, lasting value, reporting cutting edge research results by authors across the globe. It features articles in distinct categories, including regular, brief and survey papers, technical communiqués, correspondence items, as well as reviews on published books of interest to the readership. It occasionally publishes special issues on emerging new topics or established mature topics of interest to a broad audience.
Automatica solicits original high-quality contributions in all the categories listed above, and in all areas of systems and control interpreted in a broad sense and evolving constantly. They may be submitted directly to a subject editor or to the Editor-in-Chief if not sure about the subject area. Editorial procedures in place assure careful, fair, and prompt handling of all submitted articles. Accepted papers appear in the journal in the shortest time feasible given production time constraints.
