Abstract:

Network mimic defense technology enhances the robustness of active defense through the redundancy,dynamic and diversity as well as the decision feedback mechanism.However,little work has been done for its security assessment and existing classic game models are not suitable for its dynamic characteristics and lack of universality.A Markov game model was proposed to analyze the transfer relationship between offensive and defensive status and the measurement method of safety and reliability of mimic defense,and calculated the offensive and defensive game equilibrium through non-linear programming algorithm to determine the best defensive strategy considering performance.Experiments give a comparison with the multi-target hiding technique and shows that the mimic defense has a higher defensive effect.Combining with the specific network case,the specific attack and defense path for the exploit of the system vulnerability is given and the effectiveness of the defense strategy algorithm is verified.

Key words: network mimic defense, Markov game, redundant execution units, defense robustness, active defense strategy
