Nudge: Intermediaries' Role in Interdependent Network Security |
Jens Grossklags, Svetlana Radosavac, Alvaro Cárdenas and John Chuang
Abstract
By employing an interdependent security game-theoretic framework, we study how individual Internet Service Providers can coordinate the investment decisions of end users to improve the security and trustworthiness of the overall system. We discuss two different forms of intervention: rebates in combination with penalties (pay for outcome) and cost-subsidies (pay for effort).
