Reinforcement Learning-Based Design of Side-Channel Countermeasures

Deep learning-based side-channel attacks are capable of breaking targets protected with countermeasures. The constant progress in the last few years makes the attacks more powerful, requiring fewer traces to break a target. Unfortunately, to protect against such attacks, we still rely solely on methods developed to protect against generic...

Secure Control for Cyber-Physical Systems under Malicious Attacks

This article investigates the secure control problem for cyber-physical systems when the malicious data are injected into the cyber realm, which directly connects to the actuators. Based on moving target defense (MTD) and reinforcement learning, we propose a novel proactive and reactive defense control scheme. First, the system (A,B) is...

Learning Tracking Control for Cyber-Physical Systems

This paper investigates the problem of optimal tracking control for cyber-physical systems (CPS) when the cyber realm is attacked by denial-of-service (DoS) attacks which can prevent the control signal transmitting to the actuator. Attention is focused on how to design the optimal tracking control scheme without using the system dynamics and...
