Resilient Control and Estimation of Networked Control Systems

With advances in multiple access technologies and wireless communications, networked control systems (NCSs) play a pivotal role in the modern automation and control industry, enabling seamless communication and control across remotely distributed systems. However, due to the openness of wireless networks, the integration of networked components also introduces unprecedented security challenges to the physical plant. This chapter provides a comprehensive examination of the state-of-the-art techniques, methodologies, and advancements in ensuring the security of networked control systems. By exploring a range of security threats, vulnerabilities, and corresponding countermeasures, this chapter aims to provide insights into the current landscape of NCS security, addressing critical issues such as confidentiality, integrity, availability, and resilience. Understanding and addressing these challenges is crucial for safeguarding the integrity and reliability of networked control systems in the face of evolving cyber threats.
