Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The coalgebraic structure of {hem position gamesN) will be investigated, and a framework for reasoning about security will be developed, where protocols are construed as dynamic games of imperfect information.Position games can be viewed as a common generalization of matrix games from game theory on one hand, and abstract computational processes, extended into game semantics of computation on the other. As a mathematical structure, position games add a dimension of dynamics (statelposition dependency) to the former, and open up the latter to quantitative analyses, e.g. of utility, payoff, and stability of self-regulating systems.The results will be used for developing tools and methods for constructing and analyzing concrete security structures, such as those arising from the IPsec suite, as well as the mechanisms of communication in agent based systems at large.
