Methods and system for detecting false data injection attacks

A computer-based method for detecting false data injection attacks, said method implemented using a fault detection computer device including at least one processor in communication with a memory, said method comprising:

• receiving signals representing measurement data from the one or more sensors that monitor a component and generate signals representing the measurement data associated with the component;
• receiving signals from a first sensor and a second sensor of the one or more sensors, wherein the
• first sensor is proximate to the component and the second sensor is a distance from the first sensor;
• receiving a fault indication of a fault associated with the component;
• generating a component profile for the component based on the measurement data;
• determining a first profile based on the signals from the first sensor;
• determining a second profile based on the signals from the second sensor;
• comparing the first profile to the second profile based on the distance between the first sensor and the second sensor;
• and determining an accuracy of the fault indication based upon the generated component profile and the comparing.

A computer-readable storage device having processor-executable instructions embodied thereon, for detecting false data injection attacks, wherein when executed by a fault detection computer device communicatively coupled to a memory, the processor-executable instructions cause the fault detection computer device to:

• receive signals representing measurement data from the one or more sensors that monitor a component and generate signals representing the measurement data associated with the component;
• receive signals from a first sensor and a second sensor of the one or more sensors, wherein the first sensor is proximate to the component and the second sensor is a distance from the first sensor:
• receive a fault indication of a fault associated with the component;
• generate a component profile for the component based on the measurement data;
• determine a first profile based on the signals from the first sensor:
• determine a second profile based on the signals from the second sensor;
• compare the first profile to the second profile based on the distance between said the first sensor and said second sensor;
• and determine an accuracy of the fault indication based upon the generated component profile and the comparison.
