Despite the elegance of the theories developed in [6], an important question to address is how such a strategy might be implemented practically. Specifically, the theoretical results in [6] introduce a number of theoretical expressions which must be satisfied, including, for example, various parameters related to the operating region and plant/model mismatch. Through a series of simulation examples involving a continuous stirred tank reactor and focused on the state estimation-based attack detection strategy, we elucidate some of the difficulties in designing resilient control strategies without rigorously determining the parameters of the control and detection strategies using theory but instead attempting to utilize simulation. We also discuss, via simulation, strategies for attempting to thwart specific types of attacks on the actuators via injecting control signals at intervals, as well as the role of plant/model mismatch introduced via data-driven models and numerical error on control actions when state measurement cyberattacks occur. Finally, in light of these control/detection concepts, we discuss concepts related to cyberattack discoverability for nonlinear systems.
