Learning Attack Generation
Attack generation for complex nonlinear system

Image credit: CPS
Motivation
- Model-based attack generation approach requires knowledge of system’s model, but for some complex system, high-fiedilty model is hard to be obtained;
- For nonlinear systems, attack generation problem is a highly nonconvex problem
- No prior labelled attack dataset
Approach
