Speaker: Quanyan Zhu, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

The integration of the cyber-computing with the physical control systems in many critical infrastructures brings a multitude of security and resilience issues at the cyber and physical interface. In this talk, I will provide an overview of game-theoretic methods that have been used to study these issues, which are fundamental and essential for the analysis and design of resilient systems. The game-theoretic modeling provides insights to the optimal defense mechanisms, attacker incentives and performance limits. We offer an hierarchical layered viewpoint on the cyber-physical system and address issues on each layer. The recent development from the game-theoretical perspective offers emerging opportunities for the system-wide assessment of large-scale systems.
