Abstract This paper concentrates on security estimation of Cyber-Physical Systems subject to Denial-of-Service attack. A game framework is established to describe the interactive decision making process between the sensor and the attacker under energy constraint. A novel payoff function is used and the optimal strategies for both sides constituting a Nash equilibrium (NE) are obtained by using matrix game. Furthermore, the security issue on state estimation for CPS with multiple-subsystem is investigated based on game theory. To deteriorate the whole system performance, the attacker should decide when to attack and which subsystem to be chosen on account of limited energy. The existence conditions of NE strategies are given. Two numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the feasibility of the results.
