The integration of computation, communication and sensing technologies into our transportation, power grid, healthcare, and manufacturing systems presents unprecedented challenges in ensuring the security and safety of these systems. Cyber attacks on such systems cross from the cyber realm into the physical world, and we must deal with new attack trends that may cause vehicles to veer off the road, manipulate devices responsible for power generation, distribution and consumption, and exploit robotic/drone systems for malicious activities. This project develops methodologies that ensure the resiliency of such systems through developing defense strategies in response to the attack strategies available to the adversary.To ensure the resiliency of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) against cyber attacks, this project explores the use of a game-theoretic framework to orchestrate the CPS with the proper combination and configuration of action blocks. This project posits that action blocks can be used to ensure the integrity of a system's control and measurement signals by checking the signals' values and manipulating these values in manners devised to detect attacks. This exploratory effort will develop initial game theoretic models and accompanying reinforcement learning techniques to investigate possible defense strategies that rely on mixtures of action blocks, focusing on the generalizability, implementability, and scalability of the approach. This project lays the ground work for a more extensive open library of action blocks in which CPS developers may not only contribute blocks but also invoke the resulting methods to assemble potent defense strategies for their systems.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

将计算、通信和传感技术集成到我们的交通、电网、医疗保健和制造系统中，在确保这些系统的安全性方面提出了前所未有的挑战。对这些系统的网络攻击从网络领域跨越到物理世界，我们必须应对新的攻击趋势，这些攻击趋势可能导致车辆偏离道路，操纵负责发电，分配和消费的设备，并利用机器人/无人机系统进行恶意活动。该项目开发的方法，通过开发防御策略，以确保这些系统的弹性，以应对攻击策略提供给advertise.To确保弹性的网络物理系统（CPS）对网络攻击，该项目探讨了使用博弈论框架来编排CPS与适当的组合和配置的行动块。该项目假定，动作块可用于通过检查信号的值并以设计用于检测攻击的方式操纵这些值来确保系统的控制和测量信号的完整性。这项探索性的工作将开发初始的博弈论模型和伴随的强化学习技术，以研究依赖于动作块混合的可能防御策略，重点关注该方法的可推广性，可实施性和可扩展性。该项目为一个更广泛的开放式行动模块库奠定了基础，CPS开发人员不仅可以贡献模块，还可以调用生成的方法为他们的系统组装有效的防御策略。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
