Network sensor-based defense (NSD) systems have been widely used to defend against cyber threats. Nonetheless, if the adversary finds ways to identify the location of monitor sensors, the effectiveness of NSD systems can be reduced. In this paper, we propose both temporal and spatial perturbation based defense mechanisms to secure NSD systems and make the monitor sensor invisible to the adversary. The temporal-perturbation based defense manipulates the timing information of published data so that the probability of successfully recognizing monitor sensors can be reduced. The spatial-perturbation based defense dynamically redeploys monitor sensors in the network so that the adversary cannot obtain the complete information to recognize all of the monitor sensors. We carried out experiments using real-world traffic traces to evaluate the effectiveness of our proposed defense mechanisms. Our data shows that our proposed defense mechanisms can reduce the attack accuracy of recognizing detection sensors.

“…Game theory (GT) is related to the mathematical models that can be used in cyber SA to study the game behaviors between attackers and defenders [21]. In here, we highlight the GTbased approaches regarding either designing or applications of game theory by reviewing the literature to provide the current state-of-the-art of GT in SA systems and it's limitations.…”

Cyberspace is full of uncertainty in terms of advanced and sophisticated cyber threats which are equipped with novel approaches to learn the system and propagate themselves, such as AI-powered threats. To debilitate these types of threats, a modern and intelligent Cyber Situation Awareness (SA) system need to be developed which has the ability of monitoring and capturing various types of threats, analyzing and devising a plan to avoid further attacks. This paper provides a comprehensive study on the current state-of-the-art in the cyber SA to discuss the following aspects of SA: key design principles, framework, classifications, data collection, and analysis of the techniques, and evaluation methods. Lastly, we highlight misconceptions, insights and limitations of this study and suggest some future work directions to address the limitations.

“…Blasch et al [6] provide an extensive review of situation awareness in game theory, while defining a game situation as "economic effort to extract either a real or virtual monetary payoff". As a systematization of their review, they offer an explanatory figure.…”

“…Usually, the individual cannot answer these questions with certainty due to their lack of complete information, but they can assign a certainty or belief (probability) to each answer, respectively: The probabilities denote the level of certainty, confidence, or belief that the provided answer to a question about GEE detection/description is true. Questions differentiate awareness and assessment according to Blasch et al [6]. Those efforts, which an individual should make before modeling a game are systematized in Table 1.…”

“…Individual awareness and assessment of a game's existence relate to the fields of situational awareness, unawareness, and a 'pre-game' theory. Salmon et al [3] examine definitions of situational awareness, Bazerman and Chugh [4] and Chugh and Bazerman [5] offer definitions of bounded awareness, and Blasch et al [6] review situation awareness in game theory, while most of the empirical research in the area focuses on threat awareness, in-game assessment, and prediction, with an emphasis on the application in the security field and the gaming industry [7][8][9][10]. Halpern and Rego [1,[11][12][13] examine modeling unawareness regarding the language, knowledge, probabilities assignment, extensive games, action choice, and solutions.…”

Guessing the Game: An Individual’s Awareness and Assessment of a Game’s Existence

In everyday life, games begin inconspicuously, leaving an individual to stumble upon their assessment of a situation. An unaware individual is unlikely to exhibit strategic behavior in a given situation, which highlights the importance of awareness examination. The purpose of this exploratory analysis is to examine awareness and assessment of a game’s existence at the individual level. That requires examination of respondents’ detection (as an indication of their awareness) and identification (as an indication of their assessment) of game elements in game-like situations and their relation to awareness of the game existence. The empirical data is collected using a scenario technique and is statistically analyzed. The results show that the respondents are, on average, at least partially aware of possibility for strategic interaction (even in vague situations). The revealed regularities point out to the relation of the game elements to game existence belief, but also indicate the presence of psychological biases and information utilization issues. For example, the respondents assign different levels of belief to game existence regarding possible losses or gains. Research limitations involve the use of a small convenience sample and lead to suggestions for results validation in future research. Possible implications of the results are discussed.
