| description: | Game theoretic methods are used to study the mechanisms behind several global-scale data security problems (spam mail, denial of service attacks, viruses etc). The attacking and defending parties are considered as antagonistic populations, for which the laws of evolutionary game theory, expressed in the form of Volterra equations, can be applied. The study of these laws enables to predict data security risks and to analyze their dynamics. The results will be applied to estimate practical data security risks for better planning the protection methods and for reasonably managing their costs. |
