Attack, defence and contagion in networks
| Description | The aim of the project was to develop theoretical approaches to the study of network resilience. In the course of the project a number of theoretical models were explored and published in leading journals. We examine a setting where an adversary attacks a network to compromise it performance, while a designer chooses the network and allocates limited defence resources to protect the network. The key insight is that in a wide class of circumstances it is optimal to choose a hub-spoke network and allocate all defence resources to the central node. The optimal attack is to target peripheral nodes and upon their capture launch a concerted attack on the central node. |
| Exploitation Route | The research lays out a benchmark model which can now be taken to specific applications with a view to exploring more specific practical problems. |
