Cyber Security

In modelling attacks to a system one is often engaged in an attacker - defender based model. Two recent approaches taken to modelling such scenarios involve game theory models and stochastic theory models. Your task in this question is to locate and present two papers relating to network security, one involving the application of game theory and the other involving the application of stochastic modelling. In each case you are to a) introduce the model being discussed b) identify the problems that the paper is attempting to address c) identify the assumptions that are made in each paper d) discuss the solution presented and the conclusions made. Your task is then to identify three weaknesses in each of the papers being presented, and hence in your view, possible lines for further investigation.
