## Abstract (arXiv)

This work addresses multi-agent consensus networks where adverse attackers affect the convergence performances of the protocol by manipulating the edge weights. We generalize (Fabris and Zelazo, 2022) and provide guarantees on the agents' agreement in the presence of attacks on multiple links in the network. A stability analysis is conducted to show the robustness to channel tampering in the scenario where part of the codeword, corresponding to the value of the edge weights, is corrupted. Exploiting the built-in objective coding, we show how to compensate the conservatism that may emerge because of multiple threats in exchange for higher encryption capabilities. Numerical examples related to semi-autonomous networks are provided.
