Defending Consensus-Based Cooperative Sensing Against Conformity-Driven Byzantine Attacks in 6G UAV Swarm Networks

arXiv:2610.14639v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) enabled six-generation (6G) networks, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarms increasingly rely on consensus-based cooperative sensing: each node iteratively exchanges and fuses decisions with its neighbors to approach a global picture of the environment, supporting the high-reliability, low-latency inference demanded by mission-critical tasks. Yet this very mechanism of conformity becomes the lever of Byzantine attacks. By exploiting the update rule, malicious nodes manufacture a false consensus that lures honest nodes into drifting away from their true observations round after round, so that a normal node's actual error probability evolves dynamically and rises far above its intrinsic sensing error. Conventional fusion models, which assume node errors are fixed and independent, are therefore severely mismatched. This article argues for a different defensive perspective: instead of hunting for bad nodes, we seek to understand how good nodes turn bad, characterizing the inducement dynamics with evolutionary game theory and handing this law to the fusion center so that it can dynamically correct the true error level of normal nodes. Simulations show that the approach sustains near-perfect situational inference across a wide range of attack intensities and network sizes, while naturally supporting low latency decisions. We further discuss several open challenges on the path toward secure ISAC-6G swarm sensing.
