Information Security: Facilitating User Precautions Vis-a-Vis Enforcement Against Attackers
We compare alternative information security policies-facilitating end-user precautions and enforcement against attackers. The context is mass and targeted attacks, taking account of strategic interactions between end users and attackers. For both mass and targeted attacks. facilitating end-user prec...
