“…For example, García-Magariño et al [17] proposed a process called PEABS for constructing efficient multi-agent simulators. They applied it to some cybersecurity issues and successfully developed simulators like ABS-SecurityUAV [18]. Such previous research is oriented to the expressiveness of agent-based systems.…”

A new kind of malware called Mirai is spreading like wildfire. Mirai is characterized by targeting Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Since IoT devices are increasing explosively, it is not realistic to manage their vulnerability by human-wave tactics. This paper proposes a new approach that uses a white-hat worm to fight malware. The white-hat worm is an extension of an IoT worm called Hajime and introduces lifespan and secondary infectivity (the ability to infect a device infected by Mirai). The proposed white-hat worm was expressed as a formal model with agent-oriented Petri nets called PN 2 . The model enables us to simulate a battle between the white-hat worm and Mirai. The result of the simulation evaluation shows that (i) the lifespan successfully reduces the worm’s remaining if short; (ii) if the worm has low secondary infectivity, its effect depends on the lifespan; and (iii) if the worm has high secondary infectivity, it is effective without depending on the lifespan.

“…In this case, we used a different ABS that allowed us to simulate a larger number of vehicles. This ABS was inspired by the existing ABS-TrustSDN [34], with the differences of having peer-to-peer distribution of reputation and revocation of certificates by the official certifier.…”

The Internet of vehicles (IoV) provides new opportunities for the coordination of vehicles for enhancing safety and transportation performance. Vehicles can be coordinated for avoiding collisions by communicating their positions when near to each other, in which the information flow is indexed by their geographical positions or the ones in road maps. Vehicles can also be coordinated to ameliorate traffic jams by sharing their locations and destinations. Vehicles can apply optimization algorithms to reduce the overuse of certain streets without excessively enlarging the paths. In this way, traveling time can be reduced. However, IoV also brings security challenges, such as keeping safe from virtual hijacking. In particular, vehicles should detect and isolate the hijacked vehicles ignoring their communications. The current work presents a technique for enhancing security by applying certain prioritization rules, using digital certificates, and applying trust and reputation policies for detecting hijacked vehicles. We tested the proposed approach with a novel agent-based simulator about security in IoT for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications (ABS-SecIoTV2V). The experiments focused on the scenario of avoidance of collisions with hijacked vehicles misinforming other vehicles. The results showed that the current approach increased the average speed of vehicles with a 64.2% when these are giving way to other vehicles in a crossing by means of IoT.

“…They tested their approach with commercial UAVs showing its utility. Agent-based simulators (ABSs) have been useful for testing security strategies in different kinds of networks, like ABS-TrustSDN [8], which allowed to manage trust on network nodes in software-defined networks.…”
