Network Security 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.
'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 examplesThe 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
