  1. Stealthy Attacks on Pheromone Swarming Methods Janiece Kelly, Texas State University Seth Richter, LeTourneau University Dr. Mina Guirguis, Texas State University

  2. Pheromone Swarming Control • Advantages • Robust • Adaptive • Less manpower • Applications • Border Control • Area Coverage • Search and Rescue • Research Question:How secure are pheromone swarming methods?

  3. Swarming Implementation • iRobot Create Robots • Movement Probability, pi • Server Scheme p1 p2 p4 p3 SERVER

  4. Stealthy Attacks • Complete (C) • Probability Threshold (PT) • Full Proximity (FP) A A Δ(B,T) + Δ(C,T) < PT Δ(B,T) + Δ(C,T) ≥ PT Δ(B,T) Δ(C,T) Δ(B,T) Δ(C,T) B C C B Server (T) Server (T)

  5. Assessment Metrics • Damage • Collisions • Map differences • Steps failed to complete due to a collision • Cost • Number of signals blocked • Potency = Damage / Cost

  6. Configurations

  7. AOI Coverage

  8. Conclusions • System is vulnerable to stealthy attacks • Stealthy attack potency can be 14 times that of DoS • Parameters that affect attack potency: • Radius of attack • Probability threshold • Number of agents/targets present Acknowledgment This research is funded by NSF REU award #1156712 that is co-funded by the DoD and by NSF award #1149397.
