Abstract
  • Computer networks have employed a variety of techniques to secure themselves from attackers. A technique that is used is deception technologies, these are systems put in place to mislead a malicious actor and prevent them from accessing the important parts of a network. Such deception technologies include honeypots and moving target defense. Researchers are looking at improving deception technology by integrating artificial intelligence and machine learning in to facilitate the process. This paper intends to look into the various forms of such deception technologies, how networks can benefit from certain improvements in their implementation, and possible integration with AI.
