Network Security: A Decision and Game-Theoretic Approach
"Network security is a topic of crucial relevance for the information society and has been addressed by many books. Yet, modeling the reasons specific security decisions are made is a research topic still in its infancy. By its unique and in-depth treatment of the subject, this book is a landmark towards this ambitious goal." - Jean-Pierre Hubaux, EPFL, Switzerland"A decision and game theoretic approach has recently emerged as an important tool for addressing key issues in network security and risk management. This book provides a comprehensive account of this approach by two experts that have pioneered its development and demonstrates its high potential. It should be studied by anyone who aims to develop a thorough and multi-faceted understanding of the subject." - Nick Bambos, Stanford Univ., USA"The great advantage of this book is that the authors covered 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 well readable. I can recommend this position to researchers and graduate students as well as to engineers, mainly system administrators and security officers." - Marcin Niemiec, IEEE Communications, February 2012
