A Game Theoretic Model for Defending Against Stealthy Attacks with Limited Resources
Stealthy attacks are a major threat to cyber security. In practice, both attackers and defenders have resource constraints that could limit their capabilities. Hence, to develop robust defense strategies, a promising approach is to utilize game theory to understand the fundamental trade-offs involved. Previous works in this direction, however, mainly focus on the single-node case without consid...
متن کاملDefending BitTorrent against Strategic Attacks
BitTorrent has shown to be efficient for bulk file transfer, however, it is susceptible to free riding by strategic clients like BitTyrant. Strategic peers configure the client software such that for very less or no contribution, they can obtain good download speeds. Such strategic nodes exploit the altruism in the swarm and consume resources at the expense of other honest nodes and create an u...
متن کاملDefending Multiple Terrorist Targets
This paper analyzes a situation in which multiple targets are exposed to a potential terrorist threat. The probability of an attack is determined endogenously in a game theoretic model. Assuming identical targets, the first-best policy requires that the investment in deterrence should be equalized across all targets. As each target tries to divert an attack to others, the symmetric equilibrium ...
متن کاملDefending RFID authentication protocols against DoS attacks
In this paper, we present a security weakness of a forward secure authentication protocol proposed by Tri Van Le et al. called O-FRAP which stands for Optimistic Forward secure RFID Authentication Protocol. In particular, we point out that in the O-FRAP protocol, the server can be subject to a denial-of-service attack due to a flaw in the database querying procedure. Our attack also applies to ...
متن کاملDefending Against Distributed Denial of Service Attacks
The Denial of Service attack, especially the Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack, has become one of the major threats to the Internet. Generally, attackers launch DDoS attacks by directing a massive number of attack sources to send useless traffic to the victim. The victim’s services are disrupted when its host or network resources are occupied by the attack traffic. The threat of DDoS ...
