On the Performance Analysis of Resilient Networked Control Systems Under Replay Attacks

This technical note studies a resilient control problem for discrete-time, linear time-invariant systems subject to state and input constraints. State measurements and control commands are transmitted over a communication network and could be corrupted by adversaries. In particular, we consider the replay attackers who maliciously repeat the messages sent from the operator to the actuator. We propose a variation of the receding-horizon control law to deal with the replay attacks and analyze the resulting system performance degradation. A class of competitive (resp. cooperative) resource allocation problems for resilient networked control systems is also investigated.
