Large software platforms (e.g., mobile app stores, social media, email service providers) must ensure that files on their platform do not contain malicious code. Platform hosts use security tools to analyze those files for potential malware. However, given the expensive runtimes of tools coupled with the large number of exchanged files, platforms are not able to run all tools on every incoming file. Moreover, malicious parties look to find gaps in the coverage of the analysis tools, and exchange files containing malware that exploits these vulnerabilities. To address this problem, we present a novel approach that models the relationship between malicious parties and the security analyst as a leader-follower Stackelberg security game. To estimate the parameters of our model, we have combined the information from the VirusTotal dataset with the more detailed reports from the National Vulnerability Database. Compared to a set of natural baselines, we show that our model computes an optimal randomization over sets of available security analysis tools.
Off-chain protocols constitute one of the most promising approaches to solve the inherent scalability issue of blockchain technologies. The core idea is to let parties transact on-chain only once to establish a channel between them, leveraging later
We consider pricing and selection with fading channels in a Stackelberg game framework. A channel server decides the channel prices and a client chooses which channel to use based on the remote estimation quality. We prove the existence of an optimal
Recent advances in the blockchain research have been made in two important directions. One is refined resilience analysis utilizing game theory to study the consequences of selfish behaviors of users (miners), and the other is the extension from a li
To achieve general intelligence, agents must learn how to interact with others in a shared environment: this is the challenge of multiagent reinforcement learning (MARL). The simplest form is independent reinforcement learning (InRL), where each agen
The spreading dynamics of an epidemic and the collective behavioral pattern of the population over which it spreads are deeply intertwined and the latter can critically shape the outcome of the former. Motivated by this, we design a parsimonious game
