'The great advantage of this book is that the authors [cover] exhaustively theoretical background related to decision and game theories with a lot of motivating examples. The work is written without unnecessary complexity, while the organization is clear and the contents is … readable. I can recommend … to researchers and graduate students as well as to engineers, mainly system administrators and security officers.' IEEE Communications Magazine
