“…Defined by [ 30 ] and we quote here, deception is “the conscious, planned intrusion of an illusion seeking to alter a target’s perception of reality, replacing objective reality with perceived reality”. In a more dedicated definition [ 31 ], the deceptive tactics applied in the above applications could be further partitioned into two classes, denial (hiding key information) and deception (presenting misleading information).…”

Deceptive path-planning is the task of finding a path so as to minimize the probability of an observer (or a defender) identifying the observed agent’s final goal before the goal has been reached. It is one of the important approaches to solving real-world challenges, such as public security, strategic transportation, and logistics. Existing methods either cannot make full use of the entire environments’ information, or lack enough flexibility for balancing the path’s deceptivity and available moving resource. In this work, building on recent developments in probabilistic goal recognition, we formalized a single real goal magnitude-based deceptive path-planning problem followed by a mixed-integer programming based deceptive path maximization and generation method. The model helps to establish a computable foundation for any further imposition of different deception concepts or strategies, and broadens its applicability in many scenarios. Experimental results showed the effectiveness of our methods in deceptive path-planning compared to the existing one.

Deceptive path-planning is the task of finding a path so as to minimize the probability of an observer (or a defender) identifying the observed agent’s final goal before the goal has been reached. Magnitude-based deceptive path-planning takes advantage of the quantified deceptive values upon each grid or position to generate paths that are deceptive. Existing methods using optimization techniques cannot satisfy the time constraints when facing with the large-scale terrain, as its computation time grows exponentially with the size of road maps or networks. In this work, building on recent developments in the optimal path planner, the paper proposes a hybrid solution between map scaling and hierarchical abstractions. By leading the path deception information down into a general purpose but highly-efficient path-planning formulation, the paper substantially speeds up the task upon large scale terrains with an admissible loss of deception.

“…A further consideration of the effects of culture, personality and individual differences, motive and mindset are discussed. Deception cannot be avoided; indeed deception will occur whenever and wherever adversaries are seeking an advantage [3,51]. Deception should be anticipated as occurring across a range of environments and greater understanding of how deception emerges and is responded to in complex environments is required.…”

Security challenges require greater insight and flexibility into the way deception can be identified and responded to. Deception research in interactions has identified behaviors indicative of truth-telling and deceit. Deception in military environments has focused on planning deception, where approaches have been developed to deceive others, but neglecting counterdeception perspectives. To address these challenges a holistic approach to deception is advocated. A literature review of deception was conducted followed by validation interviews with Subject Matter Experts (SMEs). Explanatory thematic analysis of interviews conducted with SMEs (n=19) led to the development of meta-themes related to the 'deceiver ', their 'intent; 'strategies and tactics' of deception, 'interpretation' by the target and 'target' decision-making strengths and vulnerabilities. This led to the development of the Holistic Model of Deception (HMD), an approach where strategies reflect context. The implications of this approach are considered alongside the limitations and future directions required to validate the HMD.
