Abstract

This survey provides a structured and comprehensive overview of research on security and privacy in computer and communication networks that use game-theoretic approaches. We present a selected set of works to highlight the application of game theory in addressing different forms of security and privacy problems in computer networks and mobile applications. We organize the presented works in six main categories: security of the physical and MAC layers, security of self-organizing networks, intrusion detection systems, anonymity and privacy, economics of network security, and cryptography. In each category, we identify security problems, players, and game models. We summarize the main results of selected works, such as equilibrium analysis and security mechanism designs. In addition, we provide a discussion on the advantages, drawbacks, and future direction of using game theory in this field. In this survey, our goal is to instill in the reader an enhanced understanding of different research approaches in applying game-theoretic methods to network security. This survey can also help researchers from various fields develop game-theoretic solutions to current and emerging security problems in computer networking.

Game Theory Meets Network Security: A Tutorial
CCS '18: Proceedings of the 2018 ACM SIGSAC Conference on Computer and Communications Security

The increasingly pervasive connectivity of today's information systems brings up new challenges to security. Traditional security has accomplished a long way toward protecting well-defined goals such as confidentiality, integrity, availability, and ...
Game Theory for Cyber Security and Privacy

In this survey, we review the existing game-theoretic approaches for cyber security and privacy issues, categorizing their application into two classes, security and privacy. To show how game theory is utilized in cyberspace security and privacy, we ...
Privacy consensus in anonymization systems via game theory
DBSec'12: Proceedings of the 26th Annual IFIP WG 11.3 conference on Data and Applications Security and Privacy

Privacy protection appears as a fundamental concern when personal data is collected, stored, and published. Several anonymization methods have been proposed to address privacy issues in private datasets. Every anonymization method has at least one ...
