“…Using that framework, they presented the most efficient deception node deployment strategy to the defender with limited resources, as well as configure a reactive management plan to achieve isolation, access blocking, and exit the induced attacker along with a primary deception action. Dimitriadis et al [59] have proposed 3GHNET as a non-cooperative zero-sum architecture that can prevent DDoS and node breaches and enhance the security of 3G core networks within an organization. Their study showed that it was possible to formulate a payoff matrix to assists the defender in constructing an optimal deception strategy through two gateways that could control and capture the data flow between the sending and receiving nodes as well as a Nash equilibrium calculation focusing on the network attacker.…”

Existing moving target defense (MTD) and decoy systems are conceptually limited in avoiding and preventing attackers’ social-engineering real-time attacks by organization through either structural mutations or induction and isolation only using static traps. To overcome the practical limitations of existing MTD and decoy and to conduct a multi-stage deception decision-making in a real-time attack-defense competition, the current work presents a social-engineering organizational defensive deception game (SOD2G) as a framework, consi dering hierarchical topologies and fingerprint characteristics by organization. The present work proposed and applied deception concepts and zero-sum-based two-player game models as well as attacker and defender decision-making process based on deceivable organizational environments and vulnerability information. They were designed in consideration of limited organizational resources so that they could converge in the positive direction to secure organizational defender dominant share and optimal values of the defender deception formulated by both scenario and attribute. This framework could handle incomplete private information better than existing models and non-sequentially stratified, and also contributed to the configuration of the optimal defender deception strategy. As the experimental results, they could increase the deception efficiency within an organization by about 40% compared to existing models. Also, in the sensitivity analysis, the proposed MTD and decoy yielded improvements of at least 60% and 30% in deception efficiency, respectively, compared to the existing works.

Continuity of wireless networks is a critical issue for wireless networks. Unfortunately, there is a category of attacks that seriously threatens the continuity of wireless networks: the jamming attack. The open nature of wireless mediums makes them vulnerable to any wireless capable devices.However, there have not been any studies that address the issue of how the service providers should deploy its topology or allocate its resources to minimize the impact of jamming attacks launched by malicious attackers.In this paper, a mathematical model formulating an attack-defense scenario of the problem is proposed. The results show when deploying defense resources, considering hops from the core node is more useful than link degrees. With the advantage of simulations, the concept of incomplete information can be taken into account which, while increasing the difficulty of the problem, makes the problem closer to reality.

Nowadays, the 3G network plays a very important role in mobile communication system. But the security concern of such network, especially the core network, is far from being satisfied. With the continuously development in the security enhancement in RAN, core network would become the future target of attackers. GPRS Tunnel Protocol (GTP), which is one of the key protocols in the core network, is quite vulnerable to attacks in the flat, full IP environment. Therefore solving such problem properly is very urgent and important for the operation of 3G network. In this paper, the security challenges in the 3G core network and the security issues in GTP are discussed, a defense solution for these security threats and an event-based description language are proposed. The experiment result shows the potential of our solution.
