Designing Network Security and Privacy Mechanisms: How Game Theory Can Help. 

Over the last decades, connectivity, bandwidth
and quality of service of wired and wireless networks
have improved at an astounding pace. Unfortunately,
this progress has been plagued by growing problems on
the fronts of privacy and security. In this talk, we will
show how game theory is being used by researchers
to model the (non-)cooperation of different players in
their contribution to privacy and security mechanisms.
