Honeypot Allocation for Cyber Deception in Dynamic Tactical Networks: A Game Theoretic Approach
Honeypots play a crucial role in implementing various cyber deception techniques as they possess the capability to divert attackers away from valuable assets. Careful strategic placement of honeypots in networ...

Cyber Deception Against Zero-Day Attacks: A Game Theoretic Approach
Reconnaissance activities precedent other attack steps in the cyber kill chain. Zero-day attacks exploit unknown vulnerabilities and give attackers the upper hand against conventional defenses. Honeypots have ...

A Network Centrality Game for Epidemic Control
Many epidemic networks admit the partition of the population into three compartments of respective susceptible, infected, and removed individuals. These epidemics involve a conflict between the agent who is pr...

MAVIPER: Learning Decision Tree Policies for Interpretable Multi-agent Reinforcement Learning
Many recent breakthroughs in multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) require the use of deep neural networks, which are challenging for human experts to interpret and understand. On the other hand, existing ...

Asymmetric Centrality Game Against Network Epidemic Propagation
The Mirai botnet network epidemic discovered in 2016 falls into the category of numerous epidemics propagated by attackers over a network to gain control over multiple devices. This particular epidemic has bee...

Optimal Resource Allocation for Proactive Defense with Deception in Probabilistic Attack Graphs
This paper investigates the problem of synthesizing proactive defense systems with deception. We model the interaction between the attacker and the system using a formal security model: a probabilistic attack ...

Optimizing Intrusion Detection Systems Placement Against Network Virus Spreading Using a Partially Observable Stochastic Minimum-Threat Path Game
Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are security tools that aim to detect tentative of virus propagation between two interconnected devices. As the propagation of a virus or malware is dynamic and can be strateg...

Hardware Sandboxing: A Novel Defense Paradigm Against Hardware Trojans in Systems on Chip
A novel approach for mitigation of hardware Trojan in Systems on Chip (SoC) is presented. With the assumption that Trojans can cause harm only when they are activated, the goal is to avoid cumbersome and somet...
