Survey on Game Theory-Based Security Framework for IoT

Abstract

The large network of smart devices and the complexity of networks have made it almost impossible to make the data and communication between devices more secure. The number of cyber-attacks on these IoT devices has been steadily increasing. So here a survey on game theory model is presented, and the attackers are rational human beings, so they try to harm the system to their best of ability and so their moves can be predicted which can be used by the defenders with some game theory concepts to take proper security decisions and make an efficient security framework. This chapter is a survey on game theory-based security frameworks and explores and evaluates different types of threats, security requirements and constraints related to IoT, how Game Theory can be used in field of IoT, along with the game theory models used is to develop security frameworks for IoT. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
