On Multi-Phase and Multi-Stage Game-Theoretic Modeling of Advanced Persistent Threats

MLDS: Multi-Layer Defense System for Preventing Advanced Persistent Threats

Here we report on the issue of Advanced Persistent Threats (APT), which use malware for the purpose of leaking the data of large corporations and government agencies. APT attacks target systems continuously by utilizing intelligent and complex technologies. To overthrow the elaborate security network of target systems, it conducts an attack after undergoing a pre-reconnaissance phase. An APT at...

Defending Against Advanced Persistent Threats Using Game-Theory

Advanced persistent threats (APT) combine a variety of different attack forms ranging from social engineering to technical exploits. The diversity and usual stealthiness of APT turns them into a central problem of contemporary practical system security, since information on attacks, the current system status or the attacker's incentives is often vague, uncertain and in many cases even unavailab...

Multi-objective Modeling Based on Competition Airlines Cooperation by Game Theory and Sustainable Development Approach

In each time period, the demand of passengers for each route are finite and airlines compete for earning more profits. The complex competition among airlines causes problems, such as complicating flight planning and increasing empty seats for some routes. These problems increase air pollution and fuel consumption. To solve these problems, this research studies the cooperation of the airlines wi...

Game Theoretic Approach to Multi-Robot Planning

In multi-agent (multi-robot) environment each agent tries to reach its own goal and it implies that in most cases the agent goals conflict. Under some assumptions such problems can be modelled as a STRIPS system (for instance Block World environment) with one initial state and disjunction of goal states. If STRIPS planning problem is invertible then it is possible to apply machinery for plannin...
