Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

For this Special Issue, we expect high-quality original research papers that provide theoretical and/or practical applications within Games’ aims and scope. In addition to strong game theoretic content, the focus on risk analysis encompasses, for example, security, safety, cyber risk, financial risk, reliability, digital currencies, cryptocurrencies and terrorism. Submitted papers will be peer reviewed in the same manner as any other submission to Games, using the online submission system.

The focus of this review is the long and broad history of attacker–defender games as a foundation for the narrower and shorter history of cyber security. The purpose is to illustrate the role of game theory in cyber security and which areas have received attention and to indicate future research directions. The methodology uses the search terms game theory, attack, defense, and cyber security in Web of Science, augmented with the authors’ knowledge of the field. Games may involve multiple attackers and defenders over multiple periods. Defense involves security screening and inspection, the detection of invaders, jamming, secrecy, and deception. Incomplete information is reviewed due to its inevitable presence in cyber security. The findings pertain to players sharing information weighted against the security investment, influenced by social planning. Attackers stockpile zero-day cyber vulnerabilities. Defenders build deterrent resilient systems. Stochastic cyber security games play a role due to uncertainty and the need to build probabilistic models. Such games can be further developed. Cyber security games based on traffic and transportation are reviewed; they are influenced by the more extensive communication of GPS data. Such games should be extended to comprise air, land, and sea. Finally, cyber security education and board games are reviewed, which play a prominent role. Full article
