Dual Rate Control for Security in Cyber-physical Systems
We consider malicious attacks on actuators and sensors of a feedback system
which can be modeled as additive, possibly unbounded, disturbances at the
digital (cyber) part of the feedback loop. We precisely characterize the role
of the unstable poles and zeros of the system in the ability to detect stealthy
attacks in the context of the sampled data implementation of the controller in
feedback with the continuous (physical) plant. We show that, if there is a
single sensor that is guaranteed to be secure and the plant is observable from
that sensor, then there exist a class of multirate sampled data controllers
that ensure that all attacks remain detectable. These dual rate controllers are
sampling the output faster than the zero order hold rate that operates on the
control input and as such, they can even provide better nominal performance
than single rate, at the price of higher sampling of the continuous output

Securing state reconstruction under sensor and actuator attacks: Theory and design
This paper discusses the problem of reconstructing the state of a linear time invariant system when some of its actuators and sensors are compromised by an adversarial agent. In the model considered in this paper, the adversarial agent attacks an input (output) by manipulating its value arbitrarily, i.e., we impose no constraints (statistical or otherwise) on how control commands (sensor measurements) are changed by the adversary other than a bound on the number of attacked actuators and sensors In the first part of this paper, we introduce the notion of sparse strong observability and we show that is a necessary and sufficient condition for correctly reconstructing the state despite the considered attacks. In the second half of this work, we propose an observer to harness the complexity of this intrinsically combinatorial problem, by leveraging satisfiability modulo theory solving. Numerical simulations illustrate the effectiveness and scalability of our observer
Low-authority control synthesis for large space structures
The control of vibrations of large space structures by distributed sensors and actuators is studied. A procedure is developed for calculating the feedback loop gains required to achieve specified amounts of damping. For moderate damping (Low Authority Control) the procedure is purely algebraic, but it can be applied iteratively when larger amounts of damping are required and is generalized for arbitrary time invariant systems
