GAME THEORY BASED SOLUTION FOR NETWORK SECURITY

Abstract

Today in this modern age, network security is the hottest and trendy topic of research. Features of network security globally change due to rapid developments in computer networks, mobile applications and wireless computer networks. Open computer system networks do not have any protection and privacy due to fraudulent attacks and the Internet attacks on computer networks or an organization. Network security can be maintained through the firewalls and encryption software’s. Many organizations developed intranet to remain connected with network for their business. In this paper, we will try to cover network security issues by applying game theory on network security model. Ongoing occurrences in the Internet, demonstrate that network threats can make huge measures of disaster for governments, private undertakings, and the overall population in wording of cash, information privacy, and authorization. This paper presents the game theories that handle the network security issues by implementing different models and constructs that makes the network more reliable and sufficient. The main focus of the paper is the implementation of game theories to the network security models. The analysis of the game theory in the computer network security helps to find the best and optimal solutions for securing the network. Basic techniques for securing computer networks are anti-virus, data encryption, intrusion detection and firewall techniques but in this paper, gaming theory implemented to network security for securing the network through hackers and protect the system through viruses. Intrusion Detection Systems are used in game theory that will eliminate the danger and threats through the clients’ networks.
