AB  - The control and monitoring of large infrastructure installations is becoming smarter, cheaper to run and easier to managethrough the use of wireless sensor and actuator networks (WSANs). Cyber Physical Systems (CPSs)are the combination of cyber sensing via  WSANs and  physical  control.  The  problem  withthe  use  of  WSANs  in  CPSs  is  that  they  make  the whole system being controlled exposed  to  the  world  andvulnerable  to  theft  or  cyber-attacks.In  this  article  we  examine  the  failure  of  CPS infrastructure due to intelligent radio jamming.The intelligent jammer employs a protocol-aware jamming strategy to learn the transmission period of a sensor device.It then broadcasts noise to disrupt the wireless communication and destabilise the CPS.Wepresent a CPS control and communication approachto counter thethreat of intelligentradio jamming. The approach exploitsthe  properties  of the event-based  controlstrategy  combined  with  a reservation-based  communication  protocolthat  employs obfuscation.  We  usea  physical  model  of  a  water  distribution  networkto  demonstrate that  the approachis resilient  to  an intelligent jamming attack, it is able to continue normaloperationof the systemand maintain the desired level of performance while achieving low overheads.
