Secure-by-construction synthesis of cyber-physical systems

S Liu, A Trivedi, X Yin, M Zamani - Annual Reviews in Control, 2022 - Elsevier
Correct-by-construction synthesis is a cornerstone of the confluence of formal methods and
control theory towards designing safety-critical systems. Instead of following the time-tested …

Infinite-step opacity and K-step opacity of stochastic discrete-event systems

X Yin, Z Li, W Wang, S Li - Automatica, 2019 - Elsevier
Opacity is an important information-flow property that arises in security and privacy analysis
of cyber–physical systems. Among many different notions of opacity, K-step opacity requires …

Enforcing opacity by insertion functions under multiple energy constraints

Y Ji, X Yin, S Lafortune - Automatica, 2019 - Elsevier
This paper investigates the enforcement of opacity by insertion functions subject to multiple
quantitative constraints capturing resource or energy limitations. There is a malicious …

On approximate opacity of cyber-physical systems

X Yin, M Zamani, S Liu - IEEE Transactions on Automatic …, 2020 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Opacity is an important information-flow security property in the analysis of cyber-physical
systems. It captures the plausible deniability of the system's secret behavior in the presence …

Strong current-state and initial-state opacity of discrete-event systems

X Han, K Zhang, J Zhang, Z Li, Z Chen - Automatica, 2023 - Elsevier
Opacity, as an important property in information-flow security, characterizes the ability of a
system to keep some secret information from an intruder. In discrete-event systems, based …

Synthesis of dynamic masks for infinite-step opacity

X Yin, S Li - IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, 2019 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We investigate the problem of synthesizing dynamic masks that preserve the infinite-step
opacity in the context of discrete-event systems. Dynamic mask is an information acquisition …

Noninterference enforcement via supervisory control in bounded Petri nets

F Basile, G De Tommasi, C Sterle - IEEE Transactions on …, 2020 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Security of distributed control systems is affected by the presence of information leaks, which
permit to external intruders to infer the state of the system itself. Noninterference deals with …

Enforcement for infinite-step opacity and K-step opacity via insertion mechanism

R Liu, J Lu - Automatica, 2022 - Elsevier
Opacity is an important information-flow property concerning the security and privacy of
cyber–physical systems. We investigate the synthesis problem of infinite-step opacity and K …
