Consensus control of multiagent systems (MASs) has been one of the most extensive research topics in the field of robotics and automation. The information sharing among the agents in the MASs depends upon the communication network because the interaction of agents may affect the consensus performance of the agents in a communication network. An unexpected fault and attack may occur on one agent and can propagate through the communication network into other agents. Thus, this may cause severe degradation of the whole MASs. In this paper, we first discussed MAS technologies. After that available technologies for the modeling of attacks and fundamental issues due to attacks on MAS attacks were discussed. We also introduced cooperative attack methodologies and model-based attack methodology. Objective of this article is to provide comprehensive study on recent advances in consensus control of MASs under attacks covering the published results until 2021. This survey presents different kinds of attacks, their estimation and detection, and resilient control against attacks. At the end, the survey accomplishes some potential recommendations for future direction to solve the key issues and challenges reported for secure consensus control of MASs.

“…Early research work assumed that data packet loss is only related to DoS attacks, meaning that data packets must arrive when there is no attack. 13,14 However, factors such as signal degradation, channel fading, and channel congestion in wireless channels may cause random packet loss. 15 Researchers believe that even in the absence of attacks, there is still a certain probability of packet loss.…”

This article examines resource scheduling optimization for cyber‐physical systems that include a smart sensor, a remote estimator, and an attacker. The attacker's objective is to use denial‐of‐service (DoS) attack to jam the wireless channel, causing packet loss and reducing system performance. We consider a more realistic scenario where other interfering sources exist and conduct research based on the signal‐to‐interference‐plus‐noise ratio (SINR) model. Through this model, we investigate two cases: constant high or low interference power and time‐varying interference power. Different levels of attack power lead to varying packet loss rates, and the same attack power may result in different packet loss rates in different interference environments. Therefore, the attacker needs to consider the impact of other interferences to find the optimal attack strategy that increases the estimation error of the information‐physical system while reducing energy consumption. We describe this optimization problem in a Markov decision process (MDP) framework and demonstrate the existence of an optimal deterministic Markovian strategy. We also establish the monotonicity of the optimal strategy in two different cases and investigate the extreme case. Simulation results support our theoretical results.

“…They proved that the optimal DoS attack policy has a threshold structure. Gan et al [14] investigated the DoS attack design in a CPS where the channel hopping mechanism is used by the sensor. Note that these aforementioned works all assume that the successful transmission probability of the channel is either 1 (with no attack) or 0 (with attack).…”

In cyber-physical systems (CPSs), it is typical that a sensor observes a dynamical process and transmits the state estimate to a remote estimator wirelessly. Security risks arise when a denial-of-service (DoS) attacker generates extra noise at some power level to reduce the successful transmission rate. Investigating the capability of such an attacker to endanger the system is an important research line in CPS security. However, most previous works have two restrictions, one is that the attacker has complete knowledge of the system, which is usually difficult to achieve, and the other is that the attack power level set is small and discrete, which reduces the attack effectiveness and is hard to be implemented in multi-process systems due to the curse of dimensionality. In this paper, we tackle these restrictions by establishing a continuous attack power design for a DoS attacker with limited information. We propose deep deterministic policy gradient (DDPG)-based attack designs in single-process and multi-process systems, respectively. Numerical simulations illustrate the advantages of DDPG-based attack designs over heuristic baselines and existing learning methods.
