In this paper we study a security problem of protecting secrets with multiple protections and minimum costs. The target system is modeled as a discrete-event system (DES) in which a few states are secrets, and there are multiple subsets of protectable events with different cost levels. We formulate the problem as to ensure that every string that reaches a secret state (from the initial state) contains a specified number of protectable events and the highest cost level of these events is minimum. We first provide a necessary and sufficient condition under which this security problem is solvable, and then propose an algorithm to solve the problem based on the supervisory control theory of DES. The resulting solution is a protection policy which specifies at each state which events to protect and the highest cost level of protecting these events is minimum. Finally, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our solution with a network security example.

In this paper we study a cybersecurity problem of protecting systems secrets with multiple protections and a required security level, while minimizing the associated cost due to implementation/maintenance of these protections as well as the affected system usability. The target system is modeled as a discrete-event system (DES) in which there are a subset of marker states denoting the services/functions provided to regular users, a subset of secret states, and multiple subsets of protectable events with different security levels. We first introduce usability-aware cost levels for the protectable events, and then formulate the security problem as to ensure that every system trajectory that reaches a secret state contains a specified number of protectable events with at least a certain security level, and the highest usability-aware cost level of these events is minimum. We first provide a necessary and sufficient condition under which this security problem is solvable, and when this condition holds we propose an algorithm to solve the problem based on the supervisory control theory of DES. Moreover, we extend the problem to the case of heterogeneous secrets with different levels of importance, and develop an algorithm to solve this extended problem. Finally, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our solutions with a network security example.
The Internet of Things (IoT) will soon be omnipresent and billions of sensors and actuators will support our industries and well-being. IoT devices are embedded systems that are connected using wireless technology for most of the cases. The availabil ity of the wireless network serving the IoT, the privacy, integrity, and trustworthiness of the data are of critical importance, since IoT will drive businesses and personal decisions. This paper proposes a new approach in the wireless security domain that leverages advanced wireless technology and the emergence of the unmanned aerial system or vehicle (UAS or UAV). We consider the problem of eavesdropping and analyze how UAVs can aid in reducing, or overcoming this threat in the mobile IoT context. The results show that huge improvements in terms of channel secrecy rate can be achieved when UAVs assist base stations for relaying the information to the desired IoT nodes. Our approach is technology agnostic and can be expanded to address other communications security aspects.
Reusable decoys offer a cost-effective alternative to the single-use hardware commonly applied to protect surface assets from threats. Such decoys portray fake assets to lure threats away from the true asset. To deceive a threat, a decoy first has to position itself such that it can break the radar lock. Considering multiple simultaneous threats, this paper introduces an approach for controlling multiple decoys to minimise the time required to break the locks of all the threats. The method includes the optimal allocation of one decoy to every threat with an assignment procedure that provides local position constraints to guarantee collision avoidance and thereby decouples the control of the decoys. A crude model of a decoy with uncertainty is considered for motion planning. The task of a decoy reaching a state in which the lock of the assigned threat can be broken is formulated as a temporal logic specification. To this end, the requirements to complete the task are modelled as time-varying set-membership constraints. The temporal and logical combination of the constraints is encoded in a mixed-integer optimisation problem. To demonstrate the results a simulated case study is provided.
In this paper we present a Learning Model Predictive Control (LMPC) strategy for linear and nonlinear time optimal control problems. Our work builds on existing LMPC methodologies and it guarantees finite time convergence properties for the closed-lo op system. We show how to construct a time varying safe set and terminal cost function using closed-loop data. The resulting LMPC policy is time varying and it guarantees recursive constraint satisfaction and non-decreasing performance. Computational efficiency is obtained by convexifing the safe set and terminal cost function. We demonstrate that, for a class of nonlinear system and convex constraints, the convex LMPC formulation guarantees recursive constraint satisfaction and non-decreasing performance. Finally, we illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed strategies on minimum time obstacle avoidance and racing examples.
This paper proposes a hybrid dimming scheme based on joint LED selection and precoding design (TASP-HD) for multiple-user (MU) multiple-cell (MC) visible light communications (VLC) systems. In TASP-HD, both the LED selection and the precoding of each cell can be dynamically adjusted to reduce the intra- and inter-cell interferences while satisfying illumination constraints. First, a MU-MC-VLC system model is established, and then a sum-rate maximization problem under dimming level and illumination uniformity constraints is formulated. In this studied problem, the indices of activated LEDs and precoding matrices are optimized, which result in a complex non-convex mixed integer problem. To solve this problem, the original problem is separated into two subproblems. The first subproblem, which maximizes the sum-rate of users via optimizing the LED selection with a given precoding matrix, is a mixed integer problem solved by the penalty method. With the optimized LED selection matrix, the second subproblem which focuses on the maximization of the sum-rate via optimizing the precoding matrix is solved by the Lagrangian dual method. Finally, these two subproblems are iteratively solved to obtain a convergent solution. Simulation results verify that in a typical indoor scenario under a dimming level of 70%, the mean bandwidth efficiency of TASP-HD is 4.8 bit/s/Hz and 7.13 bit/s/Hz greater than AD and DD, respectively.
