Abstract:
There has been a great deal of excitement in recent years concerning the evolution of sensor webs. At Berkeley there have now been over six generation of “motes” for these sensor webs, and several new start ups have arisen to commercialize these developments. The primary use of sensor networks to date has been on information gathering and threshold detection. However, it is fair to say that the greatest impact of sensor webs will be from what we call Action Webs, involving “closing the loop” around these networked embedded systems. We believe that this closing the loop brings into sharp focus the real time constraints issues inherent in the use of networked embedded systems. A very large number of societal scale systems such as physical infrastructures, energy and building infrastructures are now being instrumented by these Action Webs. Consequently the use of Action Webs in these Cyber-Physical Systems will need the high confidence attributes of robustness, fault tolerance and resistance to cyber attacks.

In this talk I will provide the rudiments of a theory for modeling confidentiality, integrity and availability attackers on action webs and tools for defending them in depth. Further, we will discuss how we can provide economic incentives to the private entities which own individual action webs to address the issues of “under investment in the common good”. More technically, this is a procedure for helping bridge the gap between the non-cooperative Nash equilibrium of multiple players and the societal optimum strategy. The work is primarily based on the doctoral dissertation of Dr. Saurabh Amin and joint work with Dr. Galina Schwartz.
