Our approach consists of two steps. In the first step, we construct a safety envelope of the system. Under nominal conditions (that is, when there are no attacks), the system always stays inside its safety envelope. In the second step, we build an attack detector: a monitor that executes synchronously with the system and raises an alarm whenever the system state falls outside the safety envelope. We synthesize safety envelopes using a modifed machine learning procedure applied on data collected from the system when it is not under attack. We present experimental results that show effectiveness of our approach, and also validate the several novel features that we introduced in our learning procedure.","PeriodicalId":339979,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd international conference on High confidence networked systems","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125294580","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, we consider an adversary that has compromised sensor or actuator signals of a control system and needs to identify the best time to launch an attack. We have previously shown that attackers might not be able to reach if the timing of their Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks is not chosen strategically: Therefore, if the timing of a DoS attack is not chosen correctly, the attack can have limited impact; however, if the timing of the attack is chosen carefully, the attack has higher chances of succeeding. We formulate the problem of selecting a good time to launch DoS attacks as an optimal stopping problem that the adversary has to solve in real-time. In particular, we use the theory for the Best-Choice Problem to identify an optimal stopping criteria and then use a low pass filter to identify when the time series of a process variable has reached its peak. We identify some of the complexities associated with solving the problem and outline directions for future work.","PeriodicalId":339979,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd international conference on High confidence networked systems","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124117305","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We propose a discrete-time Energy-Based Attack Detection mechanism for networked cyber-physical systems that are dissipative or passive in nature. We present analytical results to show that the detection mechanism is effective in detecting a class of attack models in networked control systems (NCS).

Pajic, Insup Lee","doi":"10.1145/2566468.2566475","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1145/2566468.2566475","url":null,"abstract":"This work considers the problem of performing resilient sensor fusion using past sensor measurements. In particular, we consider a system with n sensors measuring the same physical variable where some sensors might be attacked or faulty. We consider a setup in which each sensor provides the controller with a set of possible values for the true value. Here, more precise sensors provide smaller sets. Since a lot of modern sensors provide multidimensional measurements (e.g. position in three dimensions), the sets considered in this work are multidimensional polyhedra. Given the assumption that some sensors can be attacked or faulty, the paper provides a sensor fusion algorithm that obtains a fusion polyhedron which is guaranteed to contain the true value and is minimal in size. A bound on the volume of the fusion polyhedron is also proved based on the number of faulty or attacked sensors. In addition, we incorporate system dynamics in order to utilize past measurements and further reduce the size of the fusion polyhedron. We describe several ways of mapping previous measurements to current time and compare them, under different assumptions, using the volume of the fusion polyhedron. Finally, we illustrate the implementation of the best of these methods and show its effectiveness using a case study with sensor values from a real robot.","PeriodicalId":339979,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd international conference on High confidence networked systems","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130976525","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We propose to use a specific approach in restricted IP network environments and leverage the network state information and information from individual connections for increased level of sensitivity. The approach is meant for use in restricted IP networks which exhibit a level of determinism that enables the use of machine learning approach. In this work we use algorithm called Self-Organizing Maps. We introduce an implementation of self-organizing maps engine built on top of the Bro network security monitor. An implemented selection of initial features for the Self-Organizing Maps is provided and a sample sub-set is used when training a SOM lattice for network data from an industrial control system environment.

{"title":"From CRCs to resilient control systems: differentiating between reliability and security for the protection of cyber-physical systems","authors":"A. Cárdenas","doi":"10.1145/2566468.2566469","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1145/2566468.2566469","url":null,"abstract":"In this talk I will discuss the need to establish clear differences between reliability and security for protecting cyber-physical systems (CPS). This is particularly important given the recent interest from researchers in exploring the vulnerability of a CPS when an attacker has partial control of the sensor or actuator signals, which has led to the proposal of several anomaly detection schemes for CPS by using data collected from physical sensors (as opposed to traditional network sensors). In the general setting, data obtained from normal behavior of the system is used to create a model and then any outlier is considered an anomaly and a potential failure or attack; however, this line of research is very similar to the fault-detection, and safety mechanisms that have been deployed in control systems for decades. In particular, the protection of control systems has traditionally been enforced by several safety mechanisms, which include bad data detection, protective relays, safety shutdowns, interlock systems, robust control, and fault-tolerant control; however, so far there has not been a systematic study that tries to identify how much these protection mechanisms can help against attacks (as opposed to failures or accidents), and how can they be broken by an attacker and potentially fixed by a system designer that incorporates attack models in the design of their system. In this talk I describe how current protection mechanisms are analogous to how error correcting codes are used in communications: they protect against a vast majority of random faults and accidents; however they are not secure against attacks - the way cryptographic hash functions are. As a community we need to revisit protection mechanisms available from control theory and then analyze them from a security perspective, giving new guidelines on security metrics and new ways to design attack-resilient CPS. In addition, we also need to avoid falling into the trap of proposing security mechanisms that are evaluated using similar tools from reliability.","PeriodicalId":339979,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd international conference on High confidence networked systems","volume":"15 5-6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120892039","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But, sharing may also violate privacy. We develop a general framework for studying the cost of differential privacy in systems where a collection of agents, with coupled dynamics, communicate for sensing their shared environment while pursuing individual preferences. First, we propose a communication strategy that relies on adding carefully chosen random noise to agent states and show that it preserves differential privacy. Of course, the higher the standard deviation of the noise, the higher the cost of privacy. For linear distributed control systems with quadratic cost functions, the standard deviation becomes independent of the number agents and it decays with the maximum eigenvalue of the dynamics matrix. Furthermore, for stable dynamics, the noise to be added is independent of the number of agents as well as the time horizon up to which privacy is desired. Finally, we show that the cost of ε-differential privacy up to time T, for a linear stable system with N agents, is upper bounded by O(T3⁄ Nε2).","PeriodicalId":339979,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd international conference on High confidence networked systems","volume":"29 9","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120903488","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These wireless networks are subject to deep fades, where a severe drop in the quality of the communication link occurs. Such deep fades may significantly impact the formation's performance and stability, and cause unexpected safety problems. In many applications, however, the variation in channel state is a function of the system's kinematic states. This suggests that channel state information can be used as a feedback signal to recover the performance loss caused by a deep fade. Assuming an exponentially bursty channel model, this paper proposes a distributed switching scheme under which a string of leader-follower nonholonomic system is almost surely practical stable in the presence of deep fades. Sufficient conditions are derived for each vehicle in the leader follower chain to decide which controller is placed in the feedback loop to assure almost sure practical stability. Simulation results are used to illustrate the main findings in the paper.","PeriodicalId":339979,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd international conference on High confidence networked systems","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132866609","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
