Towards Hybrid System Approaches for Cyber-Physical System Security and Resiliency

<p>Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are a class of complicated systems integrating cyber components with physical components. Although such a cyber-physical interaction improves the system performance and intelligence, it increases the system complexity and makes the system vulnerable to various types of faults, failures, and cyber-attacks. To assure the security and improve the resiliency of CPS, it is found that the hybrid system model can be a powerful tool in the domain of fault detection and isolation, cyber-attack diagnosis and containment, as well as resilient control and reconfiguration. Several problems are concerned in this dissertation. For situational awareness, \textit{mode discernibility}, which stands for whether the discrete state of a hybrid system can be correctly identified, is characterized and discussed with potential applications to monitoring system design. For CPS vulnerability analysis, the problem of stealthy attack design for systems with switching structures is investigated, which is motivated by the recent literature. To further understand and remedy for the vulnerabilities, the detectability and identifiability for severe cyber-attacks are defined and characterized, which are followed by the discussions on the methodologies for cyber-attack detection and identification. Last but not least, based on the understanding of identifiability, a framework of resilient control design is proposed to mitigate the impact of cyber-attacks, which can be generalized in future to account for additional design criteria.</p>
