Game Theory Based Modelling of Unmanned aerial vehicles’ Onboard Software Integrity Attacks
Alexander Kuzmin, Maria Safronova, Maxim Saveliev · 2023
Attacks on the integrity of Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) onboard software are on the rise. Such attacks are very critical and can lead to man-made incidents. There are several approaches for modeling these attacks. This article explores the interaction between an attacker and a defender. The authors have developed a tree model for attacking firmware integrity. Using this attack-defense tree, a game-theoretic risk assessment scheme is formulated. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme was evaluated on the example of a firmware integrity attack and conclusions were shown confirming the viability of the proposed method.
