Abstract

Modern control systems are now combining advanced network technology for control optimization and efficiency, but, on the other side, induce network attack as a new threat to control security. A typical network attack targeting control systems is Denial of Service (DoS) jamming attack. This attack can disable control operations by simply flooding network traffic to the control-network channels, and therefore is easy to deploy and hard to defend. In this paper, we conduct a comprehensive review on this attack and report our results in three aspects: the attacking strategies of jamming attack, the defending solutions to this attack and the arms race between them. To this end, we also discuss the potential research directions on this topic.
