Motivated Interpretations of Deceptive Information

Linguistically-motivated Information Retrieval

Deceptive updating and minimal information methods

The technique of minimizing information (infomin) has been commonly employed as a general method for both choosing and updating a subjective probability function. We argue that, in a wide class of cases, the use of infomin methods fails to cohere with our standard conception of rational degrees of belief. We introduce the notion of a deceptive updating method, and argue that non-deceptiveness i...

Using Deceptive Information in Computer Security Defenses

In this paper the authors present a novel taxonomy of methods and techniques that can be used to protect digital information. The authors discuss how information has been protected and show how we can structure our methods to achieve better results. They explore the relationships among these protection techniques grouped into four categories: denial and isolation, degradation and obfuscation, n...
