Actuator Security Index for Structured Systems


الملخص بالإنكليزية

Given a network with the set of vulnerable actuators (and sensors), the security index of an actuator equals the minimum number of sensors and actuators that needs to be compromised so as to conduct a perfectly undetectable attack using the said actuator. This paper deals with the problem of computing actuator security indices for discrete-time LTI network systems. Firstly, we show that, under a structured systems framework, the actuator security index is generic. Thereafter, we provide graph-theoretic conditions for computing the structural actuator security index. The said conditions are in terms of existence of linkings on appropriately-defined directed (sub)graphs. Based on these conditions, we present an algorithm for computing the structural index.
