Abstract
A Game-theoretic Scenario for Modelling the Attacker-Defender Interaction
Existing computer security techniques lack the quantitative decision framework required to defend against highly organized attacks. Game theory provides a set of quantitative and analytical tools for describing and analyzing interactive decision situations in computer security. Recently, game-theoretic approaches such as stochastic security games have been used to study security problems as an optimization game comprising multiple players notably the attackers and the defenders (system administrators).
