Description
Book SynopsisApplies 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.
Trade Review'The great advantage of this book is that the authors [cover] exhaustively theoretical background related to decision and game theories with a lot of motivating examples. The work is written without unnecessary complexity, while the organization is clear and the contents is … readable. I can recommend … to researchers and graduate students as well as to engineers, mainly system administrators and security officers.' IEEE Communications Magazine
