      Opacity formulations and verification in discrete event systems 

      Hadjicostis, Christoforos N.; Keroglou, C. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2014)
      In many emerging security applications, a property of a system, that may reveal important details about its behaviour, needs to be kept secret (opaque) to outside observers (intruders). Motivated by such applications, ...

      Opacity-enforcing supervisory strategies via state estimator constructions 

      Saboori, A.; Hadjicostis, Christoforos N. (2012)
      State-based notions of opacity, such as initial-state opacity and infinite-step opacity, emerge as key properties in numerous security applications of discrete event systems. We consider systems that are modeled as partially ...

      Probabilistic system opacity in discrete event systems 

      Keroglou, C.; Hadjicostis, Christoforos N. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2016)
      In many emerging security applications, a system designer frequently needs to ensure that a certain property of a given system (that may reveal important details about the system's operation) be kept secret (opaque) to ...

      Probabilistic system opacity in discrete event systems 

      Keroglou, C.; Hadjicostis, Christoforos N. (2018)
      In many emerging security applications, a system designer frequently needs to ensure that a certain property of a given system (that may reveal important details about the system’s operation) be kept secret (opaque) to ...

      Resolution of initial-state in security applications of des 

      Hadjicostis, Christoforos N. (2012)
      A non-deterministic labeled finite automaton is initial-state opaque if the membership of its true initial state to a set of secret states S remains opaque (i.e., uncertain) to an intruder who observes system activity ...

      Verification of initial-state opacity in security applications of discrete event systems 

      Saboori, A.; Hadjicostis, Christoforos N. (2013)
      In this paper, we formulate and analyze methodologies for verifying the notion of initial-state opacity in discrete event systems that are modeled as non-deterministic finite automata with partial observation on their ...
