Distributed implementations of access control abound in distributed storage protocols. While such implementations are often accompanied by informal justifications of their correctness, our formal analysis reveals that their correctness can…

Attacks on information systems followed by intrusions may cause large revenue losses. The prevention of both is not always possible by just considering information from isolated sources of the network. A global view of the whole system is…

We formalize synthesis of shared control protocols with correctness guarantees for temporal logic specifications. More specifically, we introduce a modeling formalism in which both a human and an autonomy protocol can issue commands to a…

The development of automated gate specification for quantum communications and quantum networked computation opens up the way for malware designed at corrupting the automation software, changing the automated quantum communications…

Adversaries continuously evolve their tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) to achieve their objectives while evading detection, requiring defenders to continually update their understanding of adversary behavior. Prior research has…

We study the performance of perception-based control systems in the presence of attacks, and provide methods for modeling and analysis of their resiliency to stealthy attacks on both physical and perception-based sensing. Specifically, we…

Networked control systems (NCS) are widely used in safety-critical applications, but they are often analyzed under the assumption of ideal communication channels. This work focuses on the synthesis of safety controllers for discrete-time…

A supervisory controller controls and coordinates the behavior of different components of a complex machine by observing their discrete behaviour. Supervisory control theory studies automated synthesis of controller models, known as…

Cyber-physical systems are conducting increasingly complex tasks, which are often modeled using formal languages such as temporal logic. The system's ability to perform the required tasks can be curtailed by malicious adversaries that mount…

In this paper, we derive an approximation for throughput of TCP Compound connections under random losses. Throughput expressions for TCP Compound under a deterministic loss model exist in the literature. These are obtained assuming the…

In this paper we consider state reachability in networks composed of many identical processes running a parametric timed broadcast protocol (PTBP). PTBP are a new model extending both broadcast protocols and parametric timed automata. This…

Supervisory control of discrete-event systems with a global safety specification and with only local supervisors is a difficult problem. For global specifications the equivalent conditions for local control synthesis to equal global control…

Reactive synthesis is an automatic way to translate a human intention expressed in some logic into a system of some kind. This thesis has two parts, devoted to logic and to systems. In Part I, we develop two new approaches to CTL*…

The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the feasibility of authenticated throughput-efficient routing in an unreliable and dynamically changing synchronous network in which the majority of malicious insiders try to destroy and alter…

This paper develops a fully distributed attack-resilient secondary defense strategies for AC microgrids, addressing more generally unbounded attacks on control input channels than those addressed in existing literature. The secondary…

Information leakage is a significant problem in modern software systems. Information leaks due to side channels are especially hard to detect and analyze. In this paper, we present techniques for automated synthesis of adaptive side-channel…

Industrial control systems (ICSs) increasingly rely on digital technologies vulnerable to cyber attacks. Cyber attackers can infiltrate ICSs and execute malicious actions. Individually, each action seems innocuous. But taken together, they…

The event-triggered control with intermittent output can reduce the communication burden between the controller and plant side over the network. It has been exploited for adaptive output feedback control of uncertain nonlinear systems in…

For network computers to communicate to one another, they need to know one another's IP address and MAC address. Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is developed to find the Ethernet address that map to a specific IP address. The source…

Deep neural networks (DNNs) can be easily fooled by adding human imperceptible perturbations to the images. These perturbed images are known as `adversarial examples' and pose a serious threat to security and safety critical systems. A…
