Adaptive event‐triggered secure control for networked control systems subject to deception and replay cyber‐attacks

Summary An adaptive event‐triggered scheme is considered for networked control systems subject to deception and reply cyber attacks. In particular, the adaptive event‐triggered mechanism is used in the closed‐loop controller design to reduce signal transmission and communication burden. The attacker destroys the system's performance by employing deception attacks on sensor‐to‐controller communication channels and replay attacks on controller‐to‐actuator communication channels, respectively. By utilizing the Lyapunov stability approach, the closed‐loop system guarantees mean square stability and ensure security. The adaptive event‐triggered controller gains are presented by solving a set of matrix inequalities. Finally, a simulation result including the model of a batch reactor is presented to demonstrate the efficiency of the methods proposed.
