The paper argues that adversarial robustness of anomaly detectors in industrial control systems (ICS) is a specific form of system resilience. It maps resilience concepts—disturbance class, absorption capacity, recovery trajectory, and degradation function—to adversarial machine learning, deriving a compositional resilience bound that identifies the coupling‑adjusted absorption capacity of nodes along an attack path as the key constraint. Empirical tests on the BATADAL water distribution benchmark reveal operationally significant effects, such as absorption‑degradation divergence under adversarial training and a paradox where hardening the most vulnerable node alone can reduce overall resilience.

The paper introduces a new method for generating universal adversarial perturbations (UAPs) against deep reinforcement learning (DRL)-based intrusion detection systems (IDS). It leverages Probabilistic Robustness (PR) as a post‑hoc metric to guide UAP creation, integrating PR directly into the optimization objective. The authors further develop PX‑UAP, which incorporates explainable AI (XAI) to shape perturbations within realistic domain constraints, and provide a theoretical analysis of its design. Experiments show PX‑UAP outperforms existing UAP techniques in attack effectiveness.
