Paper proposed an approach to estimating the sustainability of cyber-physical systems based on system state analysis. Authors suggested that sustainability is the system ability to reconfigure for recovering from attacking influences. Proposed a new criterion for cyber-physical systems sustainability assessment based on spectral graph theory. Numerical calculation of the criterion is based on distribution properties of the graph spectrum - the set of eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix corresponding to the graph. Experimental results have shown dependency of change in Δσ, difference between initial value of σstart and final σstop, on working route length, and on graph connectivity was revealed. This parameter is proposed to use as a criterion for CPS sustainability.

We propose a new key sharing protocol executed through any constant parameter noiseless public channel (as Internet itself) without any cryptographic assumptions and protocol restrictions on SNR in the eavesdropper channels. This protocol is based on extraction by legitimate users of eigenvalues from randomly generated matrices. A similar protocol was proposed recently by G. Qin and Z. Ding. But we prove that, in fact, this protocol is insecure and we modify it to be both reliable and secure using artificial noise and privacy amplification procedure. Results of simulation prove these statements.

Spectrum sensing (signal detection) under low signal to noise ratio is a fundamental problem in cognitive radio networks. In this paper, we have analyzed maximum eigenvalue detection (MED) and energy detection (ED) techniques known as semi-blind spectrum sensing techniques. Simulations are performed by using independent and identically distributed (iid) signals to verify the results. Maximum eigenvalue detection algorithm exploits correlation in received signal samples and hence, performs same as energy detection algorithm under high signal to noise ratio. Energy detection performs well under low signal to noise ratio for iid signals and its performance reaches maximum eigenvalue detection under high signal to noise ratio. Both algorithms don't need any prior knowledge of primary user signal for detection and hence can be used in various applications.
