Abstract

Multiplicative watermarking (MWM) is an active diagnosis technique for the detection of highly sophisticated attacks, but is vulnerable to malicious agents that use eaves-dropped data to identify and then remove or replicate the watermark. In this work, we propose a scheme to protect the parameters of MWM, by proposing a design strategy based on piecewise affine (PWA) hybrid dynamical systems, called hybrid multiplicative watermarking (HMWM). Due to the design decision to make certain states of the HMWM systems unobservable, we show that parameter reconstruction by an eavesdropper is infeasible, from both a computational and a system-theoretic perspective, while not altering the system's closed-loop performance.
