Abstract

The concept of game theory has in recent times has found application extensively in the area of security usually called security games. A game could be normal form or extensive form and are used to model the behaviour of players in a simple or complex contest for resources within a given scenario. Game theory finds application in various areas including finance, economics, politics, auction, sciences and cyber security. This work reviews the application of game theory in cyber security. A brief introduction to the concept of game theory is presented alongside a detailed review of research works carried out using the concept of game theory for cyber security.
