Abstract

Since the concept of deception for cybersecurity was introduced decades ago, several primitive systems, such as honeypots, have been attempted. More recently, research on adaptive cyber defense techniques has gained momentum. The new research interests in this area motivate us to provide a high-level overview of cyber deception. We analyze potential strategies of cyber deception and its unique aspects. We discuss the research challenges of creating effective cyber deception-based techniques and identify future research directions.
