Analysis of Attack-Defense Strategies in Autonomous Distributed IoT Systems

We develop an analytical model to capture the interplay of attack-defense strategies of an autonomous distributed Internet of Things system (ADIoTS). Every node participates in intrusion detection of a target node of the same type, thus necessitating that every good node plays a set of defense strategies and every bad node plays a set of attack strategies for achieving their own goals. The end product is a methodology for identifying the best defense strategies to maximize the system lifetime.
