Abstract
Remote state estimation problems in the
presence of eavesdroppers have recently been investigated in the literature. For unstable systems, it has been
shown that it is possible to keep the expected estimation
error covariance bounded, while the expected eavesdropper error covariance becomes unbounded in the infinite
horizon. In this note, we consider an alternative notion of
security based on the amount of information revealed to the
eavesdropper. Upper and lower bounds on the information
revealed are derived. In particular, in the infinite horizon,
it is shown that with unstable systems, any transmission policy (within the class of stationary deterministic
policies where the sensor at each time step can either
transmit its local state estimate or not) which keeps the
expected estimation error covariance bounded must always
reveal a non-zero expected amount of information to the
eavesdropper.
