Fully Distributed Event-Triggered Secure Consensus of Multiagent Systems Under Hybrid Cyber-Attacks

Summary

This article studies secure consensus in multiagent systems under hybrid cyber-attacks that combine deception attacks and denial-of-service (DoS) attacks in one attack-sequence model. The authors propose a fully distributed dynamic event-triggered control protocol that reduces communication use and avoids Zeno behavior. They quantify the maximum mismatch between attack durations and affected durations for each attack, and validate the approach with simulations of unmanned intelligent vehicles and a multirobot system.
