False data injection attacks

False data injection (FDI) attacks are malicious insertions of false data as sensor measurements in a cyber-physical system, in order to lead the system to take a wrong action. False data injection attacks do not attack the computational or network components of cyber-physical systems but the interface between the physical and the cyber part. Such attacks are powerful and can have catastrophic results. Defense against them can be achieved by limiting the attack surface through vulnerability analysis of the cyber-physical system design and by monitoring system operation in the field with monitors that observe system parameters and sensor measurements and detect abnormal operation early. In this chapter, we describe promising techniques for vulnerability analysis and dynamic monitoring, based on efficient SMT solvers and Kalman filter techniques, respectively.
