Quantitative Models of Imperfect Deception in Network Security using Signaling Games with Evidence
Jeffrey Pawlick, Quanyan Zhu
Deception plays a critical role in many interactions in communication and network security. Game-theoretic models called "cheap talk signaling games" capture the dynamic and inform…
Optimal Timing in Dynamic and Robust Attacker Engagement During Advanced Persistent Threats
Jeffrey Pawlick, Thi Thu Hang Nguyen, Edward Colbert +1
Advanced persistent threats (APTs) are stealthy attacks which make use of social engineering and deception to give adversaries insider access to networked systems. Against APTs, ac…
