Enhancing the security of networks Using game theory

Abstract

As an access to the Internet the individuals either good or bad can newlineeasily connect to the Internet Due to the ubiquity of the Internet computer newlinesecurity has now become more important than ever to organizations such as newlinegovernments banks and businesses Security specialists have long been newlineinterested in knowing what an intruder can do to a computer network and newlinewhat can be done to prevent or counteract attacks This thesis addresses newlinestrategies to prevent attacks from both an attacker and an administrator using newlinegame theory It can find the strategy between the attacker and the newlineadministrator with the help of a finite repeated game or infinite repeated newlinegame It also helps us to know more information about the attackers strategic newlineintensions through the concepts of reconnaissance. newlineNetwork security is concerned with people trying to access the newlineisolated services which are not allowed to use newline newline
