PhD stipend in cyber security preserving optimization algorithms

 


At the Technical Faculty of IT and Design, Department of Electronic Systems, a PhD stipend in cyber security preserving optimization algorithms is available within the general study programme Electrical and Electronic Engineering. The stipend is open for appointment from August 1, 2022, or soon as possible thereafter. In electronics engineering, Aalborg University is known worldwide for its high academic quality and the societal relevance of its research programmes. The Department of Electronic Systems consists of more than 200 employees, of which about 40 % are international and about 90 enrolled PhD students. The Department hosts 620 students. The Department's excellent research infrastructures and facilities accentuate its global position in teaching and research. The Department's research centres around communication, antennas, control systems, AI, sound, cyber security and robotics. The Department plays an active role in translating discoveries and results into practical applications with industrial partners and IPR. The Department provides teaching for several BSc and MSc programmes using a problem- and project-based learning model.

JOB DESCRIPTION

The PhD project aims to develop methods for detecting whether a cyber-attack takes place and pinpointing (isolating) the attack's exact location. The anticipated approach leans upon fault detection techniques and safety verification methods known in control engineering.

In short, the idea is to use a physical model that predicts the expected evolution and compare it with the measurements. If a fault occurs, the discrepancy between the prediction and the actual situation is observed. The nominal distribution is compared with the distribution extracted from the measurements. The discrepancy between these two is a metric of how severe the attack is. We compute the probability of the attack and intend to use classification techniques known in machine learning to determine the software code under attack. We will use three types of information in the detection algorithm: sensor data, dynamical models (hydraulic, mechanical, electrical), and network traffic data. The detection algorithms will be implemented using a cyber-secure protocol, e.g., multiparty computation.

The PhD student will collaborate with R&D engineers from two major Danish companies Ørsted and Grundfos. The PhD student will be responsible for applying and verifying the developed result on a water test facility at Aalborg University. Therefore, the final part of the study will be devoted to the laboratory tests.

You may obtain further information from Prof. Rafal Wisniewski, Department of Electronic Systems, phone: +45 29133623, email: raf@es.aau.dk , concerning the scientific aspects of the stipend.
