We show that information exchange via disclosure is possible in equilibrium even when it certain whenever one party learns the truth, other loses. The incentive to disclose results either from an expectation of being reciprocated—the quid pro quo motive—or possibility learning rival's failure act response a disclosure—the screening motive.

Network science enables the effective analysis of real interconnected systems, characterized by a complex interplay between topology and interconnections strength. It is well-known that network affects its resilience to failures or attacks, as well functions. Exchanging information crucial for many systems: internet, transportation networks brain are key examples. Despite introduction measures ...
