Abstract

As one of the security issues, privacy protection (PP) has become a research hotspot. The paper studies the synchronization problem of stochastic networks based on PP. First, a synchronization standard for stochastic network with delay is given based on PP. Second, a finite-time (FnT) synchronization criterion for stochastic network without delay is given based on PP. The PP function of continuous time-varying function is designed to mask the real state of the controlled complex network before converging to the real value in FnT and infinite time. Finally, the effectiveness of the method discussed in this article was verified through simulation examples.
