Abstract

In remote estimation of cyber-physical systems (CPSs), sensor measurements transmitted through network may be attacked by adversaries, leading to leakage risk of privacy (e.g., the system state), and/or failure of the remote estimator. To deal with this problem, a chaotic masking protocol is proposed in this paper to secure the sensor measurements transmission. In detail, at the plant side, a chaotic dynamic system is deployed to encode the sensor measurement, and at the estimator side, an estimator estimates both states of the physical plant and the chaotic system. With this protocol, no additional secure communication links is needed for synchronization, and the masking effect can be perfectly removed when the estimator is in steady state. Furthermore, this masking protocol can deal with multiple types of attacks, i.e., eavesdropping attack, replay attack, and stealthy false data injection attack.
