Network Security

Applies quantitative models derived from decision, control and game theories to understanding diverse network security problems.

Applies unique quantitative models derived from decision, control, and game theories to understanding diverse network security problems. Covering attack detection, malware response, algorithm and mechanism design, privacy, and risk management, this comprehensive book provides a system-level theoretical understanding of network security.Covering attack detection, malware response, algorithm and mechanism design, privacy, and risk management, this comprehensive work applies unique quantitative models derived from decision, control, and game theories to understanding diverse network security problems. It provides the reader with a system-level theoretical understanding of network security, and is essential reading for researchers interested in a quantitative approach to key incentive and resource allocation issues in the field. It also provides practitioners with an analytical foundation that is useful for formalising decision-making processes in network security.
