- Abstract
- Complex adaptive systems (CAS) are characterized by their intricate complexity and diverse components, both digital and analog, which communicate through multiple channels. These systems are prevalent in various applications, making them attractive targets for adversarial attacks aimed at causing damage, confusion, and deception. Deception acts as a strategic defense mechanism against adversaries lacking crucial information, forcing them to adopt less effective strategies to the defender’s benefit. When an adversary seeks to determine the optimal attack on an unfamiliar system, a defender with thorough knowledge of the system’s dynamics can introduce deceptive inputs to mislead the adversary. This work aims to design these deceptive inputs to guide the adversary towards learning a pre-selected, suboptimal attack. Specifically, we demonstrate how to corrupt the dynamics of a learning algorithm to mislead it into converging on a suboptimal policy, and how to directly attack the CAS to inflict maximum damage while remaining undetected. This challenge involves solving a coupled algebraic Riccati and Lyapunov equation, which are analytically complex. However, a block successive overrelaxation algorithm is employed to obtain their numerical solution, with proven convergence under specific conditions. Simulations on a benchmark aircraft showcase the algorithm’s effectiveness in steering adversaries towards less damaging attacks.
