The networked nature of such systems renders them vulnerable to a range of attacks both in cyber and physical domains as corroborated by recent threats such as the Stuxnet worm. Developing security mechanisms for such NCPSs significantly differs from traditional networked systems due to interdependence between cyber and physical subsystems (with attacks originating from either subsystem), possible cooperation between attackers or defenders, and the presence of human decision makers in the loop. The main goal of this research is to develop the necessary science and engineering tools for designing NCPS security solutions that are applicable to a broad range of application domains.<\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, sans-serif;font-size: medium\">This project will develop a multidisciplinary framework that weaves together principles from cybersecurity, control theory, networking and criminology. The framework will include novel security mechanisms for NCPSs founded on solid control-theoretic and related notions, analytical tools that allow incorporation of bounded human rationality in NCPS security, and experiments with real-world attack scenarios. A newly built cross-institutional NCPS simulator will be used to evaluate the proposed mechanisms in realistic environments. This research transcends specific cyber-physical systems domains and provides the necessary tools to building secure and trustworthy NCPSs. The broader impacts include a new infrastructure for NCPS research and education, training of students, new courses, and outreach events focused on under-represented student groups.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li><strong style=\"font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif\">Saroj Biswas and Li Bai, <\/strong><strong style=\"font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif\">Hardwire-in-the-Loop Power Distribution Testbed for Control and Security, <\/strong><strong style=\"font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif\">DURIP, Office of Naval Research, August 1, 2015 \u2013 March 31, 2017.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Saroj Biswas, <\/strong><strong style=\"font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif\">\u201cCharacterization and Closed Loop Control of Magnetic Signatures\u201d, <\/strong><strong style=\"font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif\">Office of Naval Research,\u00a0 N00414-12-1-0192, Dec 2013-Dec 2014.\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Project Summary:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A first principle mathematical model has been developed that describes the temporal dynamic of the magnetization process. \u00a0 The developed dynamic model of magnetization is highly nonlinear, which is then used to develop a closed loop feedback control system. \u00a0Existing literature on magnetization control investigates effects of static and cyclic variations of applied excitation, whereas this research focuses on magnetization compensation due to unknown time varying and noncyclic excitation. \u00a0New analytical results support closed loop control of magnetization process in the presence of unknown ambient excitation and applied stress.<\/p>\n<p>Experimental validation of closed loop control of magnetization process was also investigated.

This research involves two essential components: a) the development of novel real time control algorithms to compensate magnetic effects due to unknown applied excitation and applied stress due to seaway forces, and b) experimental validation of control algorithm in laboratory.<\/p>\n<p>A first principle mathematical model has been developed that describes the temporal dynamic of the magnetization process. The developed dynamic model of magnetization is highly nonlinear, which is then used in a control system framework to develop a closed loop feedback control system. It is shown that the developed control system is able to maintain the magnetization of the structure at any desired level in the presence of arbitrary ambient excitation and applied stress. New analytical results have also been derived that show that magnetization can be controlled even if the ambient field is randomly varying. Simulation studies are performed to illustrate the proposed method of closed loop control of magnetization.<\/p>\n<p>Experimental validation of closed loop control of magnetization process was also investigated. LabView code was developed and tested for data acquisition and control. Although the original controller is nonlinear, as a proof of concept, a PID (proportional-integral-derivative) controller has been implemented for closed loop control. Experimental results show that the closed loop controller is able to a) continuously neutralize near-field magnetic signatures of a ferrite structure, and b) maintain a desired magnetization level within the structure in the presence of a varying ambient field.<\/p>\n<p>The analytical and experimental results presented in this report form fundamental concepts on real time control of magnetization. Further research should be continued for development of a control system for 3D structures as well as for structures in stress field due to seaway forces. If appropriate, field testing of the developed control systems should be conducted for validation of control concepts.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>Saroj Biswas, <\/strong><strong>\u201cAn experimental Facility for Stress Magnetization and Hysteresis\u201d, <\/strong><strong>DURIP, Office of Naval Research, June 2011 \u2013 Sept 2012.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Project Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The objective of this project is to develop an experimentation facility for magnetization research that are of importance to the Navy.
