Design, Implementation and Experiments for Moving Target Defense Framework
The traditional defensive security strategy for distributed systems employs well-established defensive techniques such as; redundancy/replications, firewalls, and encryption to prevent attackers from taking control of the system. However, given sufficient time and resources, all these methods can …

Implementation of network moving target defense in embedded systems
<p>Moving target defense provides opportunities for adaptive defense in embedded systems. A great deal of work has been done on incorporating moving target defense techniques into enterprise systems to increase the cost to attackers and level the playing field. A smaller body of work focuses on …

RESONANT: Reinforcement Learning Based Moving Target Defense for Detecting Credit Card Fraud
… However, using a single or static ML-based defense model against a constantly evolving adversary takes its structural advantage, which enables the adversary to reverse engineer the defense's strategy over the rounds of an iterated game. This paper proposes an adaptive moving target defense …

Optimizing a Network Layer Moving Target Defense by Translating Software from Python to C
… networks is often addressed through complex defenses. While these types of defenses offer increased security, they are resource intensive and therefore impractical to implement on many new classes of networked systems, such as mobile phones and small, embedded network infrastructure devices. …

Shell Game: Randomized representative based election to defend against 51% attacks in Crowd sensing frameworks
… This has been achieved by implementing a moving target defense in a Randomized representative based election with a proof of stake payment mechanism. To test this method, we simulate an attack by an adversary who gives malicious data and assess their total gain and the percentage of …
