This paper studies caching in (K+L-1) x K partially connected wireless linear networks, where each of the K receivers locally communicates with L out of the K+L-1 transmitters, and caches are at all nodes. The goal is to design caching and…
We investigate a networked control architecture for LTI plant models with a scalar input. Communication from controller to actuator is over an unreliable network which introduces packet dropouts. To achieve robustness against dropouts, we…
Dynamic routing is one of the representative control scheme in transportation, production lines, and data transmission. In the modern context of connectivity and autonomy, routing decisions are potentially vulnerable to malicious attacks.…

The Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks (RPL) is the existing routing protocol for Internet of Things (IoT). RPL is a proactive,lightweight, Distance Vector protocol which offers security against various forms of routing…
Denial of Service (DoS) attacks frequently happen on the Internet, paralyzing Internet services and causing millions of dollars of financial loss. This work presents NetFence, a scalable DoS-resistant network architecture. NetFence uses a…
We consider a scenario in which a DoS attacker with the limited power resource jams a wireless network through which the packet from a sensor is sent to a remote estimator to estimate the system state. To degrade the estimation quality with…
Denial of Service (DoS) attacks are one of the most challenging threats to Internet security. An attacker typically compromises a large number of vulnerable hosts and uses them to flood the victim's site with malicious traffic, clogging its…
Communication topology is a crucial part of a distributed control implementation for cyber-physical systems, yet is typically treated as a constraint within control design problems rather than a design variable. We propose a data-driven…

The deterministic (timing) behavior of real-time systems (RTS) can be used by adversaries - say, to launch side channel attacks or even destabilize the system by denying access to critical resources. We propose a protocol (named REORDER) to…
Cyber data attacks are the worst-case interacting bad data to power system state estimation and cannot be detected by existing bad data detectors. In this paper, we for the first time analyze the likelihood of cyber data attacks by…
