On the imbalance of the security problem space and its expected consequences
2007
Information Management & Computer Security
This paper considers the attacker-defender game in the field of computer security as a three-dimensional phenomenon. The decomposition of the problem space into technological, human, and social factors enabled us to analyze the concentration of public research efforts by defenders. Our analysis suggests that over 94% of the public research in computer security has been concentrated on technological advances. Yet attackers seem to employ more and more human and social factors in their attacks.
