A defender dispatches patrollers to circumambulate a perimeter to guard against potential attacks. The defender decides on the time points to dispatch patrollers and each patroller's direction and speed, as long as the long-run rate…

This paper provides a new solution approach to a multi-player perimeter defense game, in which the intruders' team tries to enter the territory, and a team of defenders protects the territory by capturing intruders on the perimeter of the…

This paper considers a pursuit-evasion scenario among three agents -- an evader, a pursuer, and a defender. We design cooperative guidance laws for the evader and the defender team to safeguard the evader from an attacking pursuer. Unlike…

Anomaly detection is a method for discovering unusual and suspicious behavior. In many real-world scenarios, the examined events can be directly linked to the actions of an adversary, such as attacks on computer networks or frauds in…

In the prior literature on multi-agent area defense games, the assignments of the defenders to the attackers are done based on a cost metric associated only with the interception of the attackers. In contrast to that, this paper presents an…

This paper studies a 3D multiplayer reach-avoid differential game with a goal region and a play region. Multiple pursuers defend the goal region by consecutively capturing multiple evaders in the play region. The players have heterogeneous…

In this paper, we study a Target-Attacker-Defender (TAD) differential game involving one attacker, one target and multiple defenders. We consider two variations where (a) the attacker and the target have unlimited observation range and the…

We address a problem of area protection in graph-based scenarios with multiple agents. The problem consists of two adversarial teams of agents that move in an undirected graph shared by both teams. Agents are placed in vertices of the…

This paper studies the problem of multi-step manipulative attacks in Stackelberg security games, in which a clever attacker attempts to orchestrate its attacks over multiple time steps to mislead the defender's learning of the attacker's…

The goal of this research is to devise guaranteed defense policies that allow to protect a given region from the entrance of smart mobile invaders by detecting them using a team of defending agents equipped with identical line sensors. By…

An important feature of a dynamic game is its monitoring structure namely, what the players effectively see from the played actions. We consider games with arbitrary monitoring structures. One of the purposes of this paper is to know to…

Moving Target Defense (MTD) has emerged as a key technique in various security applications as it takes away the attacker's ability to perform reconnaissance for exploiting a system's vulnerabilities. However, most of the existing research…

We introduce a pursuit game played between a team of a sensor and an attacker and a mobile target in the unbounded Euclidean plane. The target is faster than the sensor, but slower than the attacker. The sensor's objective is to keep the…

Adversarial dynamics are a critical facet within the cyber security domain, in which there exists a co-evolution between attackers and defenders in any given threat scenario. While defenders leverage capabilities to minimize the potential…

We study the m-eternal domination problem from the perspective of the attacker. For many graph classes, the minimum required number of guards to defend eternally is known. By definition, if the defender has less than the required number of…

Advanced persistent threats (APTs) are stealthy attacks which make use of social engineering and deception to give adversaries insider access to networked systems. Against APTs, active defense technologies aim to create and exploit…

In this paper, we address pursuit-evasion problems involving multiple pursuers and multiple evaders. The pursuer and the evader teams are assumed to be heterogeneous, in the sense that each team has agents with different speed capabilities.…

The evader's dominance region is an important concept and the foundation of geometric methods for pursuit-evasion games. This article mainly reveals the relevant properties of the evader's dominance region, especially in non-anticipative…

We investigate a variation of the art gallery problem in which a team of mobile guards tries to track an unpredictable intruder in a simply-connected polygonal environment. In this work, we use the deployment strategy for diagonal guards…

Reactive defense mechanisms, such as intrusion detection systems, have made significant efforts to secure a system or network for the last several decades. However, the nature of reactive security mechanisms has limitations because…
