A Measurement Approach to Understanding the Data Flow of Phishing From Attacker and Defender Perspectives
… the data flow of phishing from both attacker and defender perspectives. First, from attackers' perspective, we want to know how attackers collect the sensitive information stolen from victims throughout the end-to-end phishing attack process. So we collected more than 179,000 real-world phishing …

PERIMETER DEFENSE WITH MULTI-ROBOT SYSTEMS
… To successfully achieve perimeter defense, a defender must solve several fundamental problems such as target tracking, resource allocation, and pursuit evasion. It is also crucial to consider the capabilities of defenders when creating perimeter defense strategies; a control policy intended …

Optimizing Programmable Logic Design Security Strategies
… our work can be generalized to adversaries and defenders using any of a variety of microelectronics exploitation and defense strategies. Trojans are inserted by an adversary in order to accomplish an end. This goal must be considered and quantified in order to predict the adversary's likely …

OPTIMISATION AND INTERDICTION PROBLEMS FOR NETWORK SAFETY
… the attacker, who acts as the leader, and the defender, who acts as the follower. The defender solves an optimisation problem after the attacker has interdicted the original instance by blocking certain elements, aiming to degrade the defender’s optimal solution as much as possible. For this …
