Abstract

With the increasing occurrence of various cyber-attacks such as distributed denial of service (DDoS) and worm attacks, simulations are being used to develop security techniques and policies against such attacks. In a cyber-security environment, there are many entities that have different resources and behaviors; attack and defensive behaviors are exhibited upon interaction with other entities. In order to design simulation models for various cyber-security simulations, not only a generalized model that can represent various attacks and target entities but also a modeling method that considers different types of interactions between entities to make simulation models should be developed. In this paper, we describe a modeling methodology for the cyber-security simulation based on discrete event system specification (DEVS) formalism.
