In this paper, we introduced an extended interactive multi-agent decision model for decentralized cyber defense. Based on the significant advantages of the cooperative multi-agent decision-making, the decentralized interactive decision model DI-MDPs and the corresponding interaction and retrieval algorithms are proposed. Then, we analyzed the interactive decision by the calculation and update processes of three matrices, the stability and evolutionary equilibrium of the proposed model are also analyzed. Finally, we evaluated the performance of the proposed algorithms based on open data sets and standard test environments, the experimental results shown that the proposed work will be more applicable in cyber defense.展开更多

The improved system architecture can better improve the security and stability of the system. The email content is extracted and stored in the blockchain network to achieve regulatory traceability between the email service provider and the higher-level organization. In turn, A Blockchain-based Upgraded Email System(BUES) is proposed. The defects of the existing traditional email system are addressed. Firstly, the threat model of the traditional email system is analyzed, and solutions are proposed for various threats. Then a system architecture consisting of the blockchain network, email servers, and users are constructed. The implementation of BUES is carried out, and the related experimental process and algorithm steps are given. After the experimental analysis, it is shown that BUES can ensure the security, reliability, efficiency, and traceability of email transmission.展开更多
