Resilient Learning-Based Control for Synchronization of Passive Multi-Agent Systems under Attack
In this paper, we show synchronization for a group of output passive agents
that communicate with each other according to an underlying communication graph
to achieve a common goal. We propose a distributed event-triggered control
framework that will guarantee synchronization and considerably decrease the
required communication load on the band-limited network. We define a general
Byzantine attack on the event-triggered multi-agent network system and
characterize its negative effects on synchronization. The Byzantine agents are
capable of intelligently falsifying their data and manipulating the underlying
communication graph by altering their respective control feedback weights. We
introduce a decentralized detection framework and analyze its steady-state and
transient performances. We propose a way of identifying individual Byzantine
neighbors and a learning-based method of estimating the attack parameters.
Lastly, we propose learning-based control approaches to mitigate the negative
effects of the adversarial attack
Byzantine Attack and Defense in Cognitive Radio Networks: A Survey
The Byzantine attack in cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS), also known as the
spectrum sensing data falsification (SSDF) attack in the literature, is one of
the key adversaries to the success of cognitive radio networks (CRNs). In the
past couple of years, the research on the Byzantine attack and defense
strategies has gained worldwide increasing attention. In this paper, we provide
a comprehensive survey and tutorial on the recent advances in the Byzantine
attack and defense for CSS in CRNs. Specifically, we first briefly present the
preliminaries of CSS for general readers, including signal detection
techniques, hypothesis testing, and data fusion. Second, we analyze the spear
and shield relation between Byzantine attack and defense from three aspects:
the vulnerability of CSS to attack, the obstacles in CSS to defense, and the
games between attack and defense. Then, we propose a taxonomy of the existing
Byzantine attack behaviors and elaborate on the corresponding attack
parameters, which determine where, who, how, and when to launch attacks. Next,
from the perspectives of homogeneous or heterogeneous scenarios, we classify
the existing defense algorithms, and provide an in-depth tutorial on the
state-of-the-art Byzantine defense schemes, commonly known as robust or secure
CSS in the literature. Furthermore, we highlight the unsolved research
challenges and depict the future research directions.Comment: Accepted by IEEE Communications Surveys and Tutoiral
