This book reviews the most powerful attack strategies and potential
defense mechanisms, always approaching the interplay between the Fusion
Center and the Byzantines from a game-theoretic perspective. For each of
the settings considered, the equilibria of the game and the
corresponding payoffs are derived, shedding new light on the achievable
performance level and the impact that the presence of the Byzantines has
on the accuracy of decisions made by the Fusion Center.
Accordingly, the book offers a simple yet effective introduction to the
emerging field of adversarial information fusion, providing a wealth of
intuitive take-home lessons for practitioners interested in applying the
most basic notions to the design of practical systems, while at the same
time introducing researchers and other readers to the mathematical
details behind the theory.
