Cover Story: Cyber-physical systems (CPS) need to satisfy complex, time-sensitive objectives (e.g., a drone should persistently surveil a region at fixed time intervals). However, a CPS can be affected by adversaries that can launch timing or actuator attacks. We introduce a new class of durational stochastic games (DSGs) to model CPS–adversary interactions. The satisfaction of objectives under timing and actuator attacks is related to reaching equilibria of the DSG. We develop notions of robustness to quantify the maximal spatial and temporal perturbations of CPS trajectories by an adversary while ensuring the satisfaction of an objective. This research establishes new connections between game theory and security by designing provably correct algorithms to synthesize robust controllers. View this paper

The “Black Box” Method for Experimental Economics

Heinrich H. Nax

Games2023, 14(2), 23;https://doi.org/10.3390/g14020023

1 March 2023

How humans behave in repeated strategic interactions, how they learn, how their decisions adapt, and how their decision-making evolves is a topic of fundamental interest in behavioral economics and behavioral game theory [...]

23 February 2023

In this paper, we present a game-theoretic analysis of ransomware. To this end, we provide theoretical and empirical analysis of a two-player Attacker-Defender (A-D) game, as well as a Defender-Insurer (D-I) game; in the latter, the attacker is assum...
