Title- Game Theory for Internet of Battlefield Things (IoBT)
Speaker- Dr. Ahmed Hemida
DEVCOM Army Research Lab
Abstract: Game Theory provides a unique approach to understanding and enhancing network security by mathematically modeling and analyzing the strategic interactions between attackers and defenders. It has been used extensively in recent years to address a multitude of security scenarios and issues. It significantly contributes to predicting and combating potential attacks by introducing novel strategies and tactics for both defensive and offensive measures. The application of game theory in network security aids in designing a more resilient security infrastructure by optimally allocating resources, predicting likely actions of attackers, and formulating effective defense mechanisms which can enhance the security of wide range of network infrastructure including Internet of Things and Internet of Battlefield Things (IoBT).
Speaker’s Bio: Ahmed Hemida is a Postdoc Fellow at DEVCOM Army Research Lab. He works on developing cyber deception using game theory and AI techniques contributing to the network security research efforts. His research interests include network security, algorithmic game theory, reinforcement learning, and machine learning. He earned his PhD in electrical engineering from the University of Central Florida in 2019. Prior to that, he worked as a research assistant at Nile University in Egypt and Qatar University from 2011 to 2013. Dr. Hemida received his BSc (with highest honors) in electrical engineering from Alexandria University in 2011 and his MSc in wireless information technology from Nile University in 2013.
