Opacity is an important system-theoretic property expressing whether a system may reveal its secret to a passive observer (an intruder) who knows the structure of the system but has only limited observations of its behavior. Several notions…

This paper addresses the problem of infinite-step opacity and K-step opacity of discrete event systems modeled with Petri nets. A Petri net system is said to be infinite-step/K-step opaque if all its secret states remains opaque to an…

In this paper, we revisit the verification of strong K-step opacity (K-SSO) for partially-observed discrete-event systems modeled as nondeterministic finite-state automata. As a stronger version of the standard K-step opacity, K-SSO…

This paper investigates an important informationflow security property called opacity in partially-observed discrete-event systems. We consider the presence of a passive intruder (eavesdropper) that knows the dynamic model of the system and…

Opacity has emerged as a central confidentiality notion for information-flow security in discrete event systems (DES), capturing the requirement that an external observer (intruder) should never be able to determine with certainty whether…

Opacity is a security property formalizing the information leakage of a system to an external observer, namely intruder. The conventional opacity that has been studied in the Discrete Event System (DES) literature usually assumes passive…

Opacity is a general language-theoretic framework in which several security properties of a system can be expressed. Its parameters are a predicate, given as a subset of runs of the system, and an observation function, from the set of runs…
