Overview of discrete event systems opacity: Models, validation, and quantification

R Jacob, JJ Lesage, JM Faure - Annual reviews in control, 2016 - Elsevier
Over the last decade, opacity of discrete event systems (DES) has become a very fertile field
of research. Driven by safety and privacy concerns in network communications and online …

On the history of diagnosability and opacity in discrete event systems

S Lafortune, F Lin, CN Hadjicostis - Annual Reviews in Control, 2018 - Elsevier
This paper presents historical remarks on key projects and papers that led to the
development of a theory of event diagnosis for discrete event systems modeled by finite …

Synthesis of sensor deception attacks at the supervisory layer of cyber–physical systems

R Meira-Góes, E Kang, RH Kwong, S Lafortune - Automatica, 2020 - Elsevier
We study the security of Cyber–Physical Systems (CPS) in the context of the supervisory
control layer. Specifically, we propose a general model of a CPS attacker in the framework of …

Verification of state-based opacity using Petri nets

Y Tong, Z Li, C Seatzu, A Giua - IEEE Transactions on …, 2016 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
A system is said to be opaque if a given secret behavior remains opaque (uncertain) to an
intruder who can partially observe system activities. This work addresses the verification of …

Secure-by-construction synthesis of cyber-physical systems

S Liu, A Trivedi, X Yin, M Zamani - Annual Reviews in Control, 2022 - Elsevier
Correct-by-construction synthesis is a cornerstone of the confluence of formal methods and
control theory towards designing safety-critical systems. Instead of following the time-tested …

Enhancement of opacity for distributed state estimation in cyber–physical systems

L An, GH Yang - Automatica, 2022 - Elsevier
Opacity, a confidentiality property that characterizes whether a “secret” of a system can be
inferred by an outside intruder, is an increasing concern in cyber–physical systems (CPSs) …

A new approach for the verification of infinite-step and K-step opacity using two-way observers

X Yin, S Lafortune - Automatica, 2017 - Elsevier
In the context of security analysis for information flow properties, where a potentially
malicious observer (intruder) tracks the observed behavior of a given system, infinite-step …

Analysis and control for resilience of discrete event systems: Fault diagnosis, opacity and cyber security

JC Basilio, CN Hadjicostis, R Su - Foundations and Trends® …, 2021 - nowpublishers.com
Abstract System resilience captures the ability of the system to withstand a major disruption
within acceptable performance degradation and to recover within an acceptable time frame …

Synthesis of supervisors robust against sensor deception attacks

R Meira-Góes, S Lafortune… - IEEE Transactions on …, 2021 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We consider feedback control systems where sensor readings may be compromised by a
malicious attacker intending on causing damage to the system. We study this problem at the …
