An Algebraic Detection Approach for Control Systems under Multiple Stochastic Cyber-attacks

In order to compromise a target control system successfully, hackers possibly attempt to launch multiple cyberattacks aiming at multiple communication channels of the control system. However, the problem of detecting multiple cyber-attacks has been hardly investigated so far. Therefore, this paper deals with the detection of multiple stochastic cyber-attacks aiming at multiple communication channels of a control system. Our goal is to design a detector for the control system under multiple cyberattacks. Based on frequency-domain transformation technique and auxiliary detection tools, an algebraic detection approach is proposed. By applying the presented approach, residual information caused by different attacks is obtained respectively and anomalies in the control system are detected. Sufficient and necessary conditions guaranteeing the detectability of the multiple stochastic cyber-attacks are obtained. The presented detection approach is simple and straightforward. Finally, two simulation examples are provided, and the simulation results show that the detection approach is effective and feasible. © 2014 Chinese Association of Automation.

Experiment study of ATP system for free-space optical communications

To meet the requirement of high tracking angular accuracy for the acquisition, tracking, and pointing (ATP) subsystem of the free-space optical communication, and provide the basis for the further optical communication between maritime mobile platforms, the experimental system, which executing part for the fine tracking is voice coil motor with high frequency and good performance for error compensation, is established, and the whole system can be controlled by personal computer. A series of experiments has been done for the simulation target of different uniform speed, and the data of tracking error for fine tracking and coarse tracking are collected, analyzed and evaluateds separately, and the real-time optical power of communication laser is also collected. The result shows that standard deviation for ATP system tracking error increases with the increase of target speed, while the range of tracking error appears to be no order. Furthermore, communication link can be hold for a long time.

Parallel finite difference beam propagation method based on message passing interface:application to MMI couplers with two-dimensional confinement

The alternate-direction implicit finite difference beam propagation method （FD-BPM） is used to analyze the two-dimensional （2D） symmetrical multimode interference （MMI） couplers. The positions of the images at the output plane and the length of multimode waveguide are accurately determined numerically. In order to reduce calculation time, the parallel processing of the arithmetic is implemented by the message passing interface and the simulation is accomplished by eight personal computers.

Fast numerical generation and hybrid encryption of a computer-generated Fresnel holographic video sequence

Research demonstrates that a Fresnel hologram can be generated and simultaneously encrypted numerically based on a secret symmetric key formed by the maximal length sequence （M-sequence）. The method can be directly extended to encrypt a video holographic clip in a frame-by-frame manner. However, given the limited combination of signals in the family of M-sequence, hacking the secret key through trial and error can be time consuming but not difficult. In this letter, we propose a method that is difficult to crack with brute force for enerypting a holographic video sequence. An M-sequence is first randomly assigned to enerypt each frame of the holographic video signal. Subsequently, the index of the selected M-sequence, which is necessary to decrypt the hologram~ is encrypted with the RSA algorithm before transmitting to the receiving end. At the receiving end, the decoder is provided with a private key to recover the index for each frame, and the corresDonding M-se（mence is used to decrvDt the encoded hologram.
