“…Besides deciding to pursue the traditional security warfare, hackers in the cooperative Internet could (1) attack the reputation system to discredit it or (2) target zero‐day vulnerabilities to exploit their victims or to create botnets. We have studied the question of system attacks on robustness of the Internet‐wide reputation system in the previous studies and have analyzed the scope of traditional warfare previously. Thus, we predict that the paradigm of Internet attacks will shift from hackers targeting users in the current Internet to more advanced hackers (that are capable of) targeting zero‐day vulnerabilities on (high value) targets, i.e.…”

“…For the purpose of implementing such a reputation system in the Internet, we propose (1) CES that operates as a cooperative firewall and (2) an Internet-wide trust management. 12 The Internet-wide trust management mimics our collective opinion or social memory of other's behavior. This draws on the human competences of using language to describe a behavior, gossip about it, and prune behavior that is deemed antisocial by the majority.…”

“…This is possible because of global sharing of the misbehavior evidences via reputation system, which limits the scope of defection strategies in the Internet and thus leads to lower defection gains. Our earlier work studied the question of robustness of such an Internet‐wide reputation system under system attacks. In 2 studies, we studied the deployment aspects and focused on the business dynamics of the actors that may need to invest into Internet‐wide trust.…”

Summary This paper analyzes the motivation and strategies for ensuring cooperative behavior among hosts and customer networks in the Internet and 5G networks. The hypothesis is that better cooperation among the benevolent entities could improve the overall Internet welfare, motivating the need for adoption of cooperative security. However, in state of the art, the prevalent security approach in the Internet is based on self‐help, while the adoption of cooperative methods is progressing slowly. At the same time, the ubiquitous reliance on 5G and mission critical nature of some of the new services, for example, ultrareliable (machine‐to‐machine) communication and Internet of things, requires that 5G will do its best to curb the malicious (noncooperative) behavior from becoming a cause of failure to the legitimate services. In this paper, we relate our analysis of the conditions for sustainable cooperation in the Internet with the famous end‐to‐end principle, and present the hypothesis that there is no end‐to‐end solution to the problem of ensuring cooperation among Internet hosts. Game theory allows studying the outcomes of interactions among the players with conflicting interests. We use it to study the hypothesis and show that introducing the reputation of Internet nodes and customer networks can lead to cooperation, which improves the overall Internet welfare and reduces the payoffs of malicious actors. We study the possible response of noncooperative users with advanced defection strategies and the resulting outcomes. We argue that 5G shall make significant progress towards uprooting the selfish behavior and malicious activities using cooperation and relate it with motivation for providing ubiquitous connectivity and ultrareliable services. The paper concludes by summarizing our earlier work on the application of the proposed methods of cooperation to 5G and the Internet; outlining how cooperation in security is not only desirable but also feasible.

“…Some work applies host-level data (such as application operation logs, equipment operation logs, host behaviors, etc.) to detect network intrusions on hosts [154][155][156][157][158][159] and concerns host data privacy protection during data collection and processing [160]. A comprehensive detection method by applying all four categories of security data still lacks, but highly expected in the literature for detecting all or most security threats for the purpose of network security measurement.…”
