Network Security Summary

Network Security: A Decision and Game-Theoretic Approach by Tansu Alpcan

Covering attack detection, malware response, algorithm and mechanism design, privacy, and risk management, this comprehensive work applies unique quantitative models derived from decision, control, and game theories to understanding diverse network security problems. It provides the reader with a system-level theoretical understanding of network security, and is essential reading for researchers interested in a quantitative approach to key incentive and resource allocation issues in the field. It also provides practitioners with an analytical foundation that is useful for formalising decision-making processes in network security.

Network Security Reviews

'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

About Tansu Alpcan

Tansu Alpcan is an Assistant Professor at the Technical University of Berlin, and is concurrently affiliated with Deutsche Telekom Laboratories. His research involves applications of distributed decision making, game theory, and control to various security and resource allocation problems in complex and networked systems. Dr Alpcan is the recipient of multiple research awards from the University of Illinois, where he obtained his PhD degree, and has numerous publications in security, networking, control, and game theory. Tamer Basar holds several academic positions at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and is currently the Editor-in-Chief of Automatica, Series Editor for Systems and Control: Foundations and Applications, and Managing Editor of the Annals of the International Society of Dynamic Games (ISDG). He is a member of the US National Academy of Engineering, Fellow of the IEEE and IFAC, founding president of the ISDG and current president of the AACC, and has published extensively in systems, control, communications, and dynamic games. Dr Basar has won a number of awards, including the Bellman Control Heritage Award of the AACC, the Bode Lecture Prize of the IEEE CSS and the Quazza Medal and Outstanding Service Award of IFAC.
