Abstract
Deception of ers one means of hiding things from an adversary. This paper introduces a
model for understanding, comparing, and developing methods of deceptive hiding. The model
characterizes deceptive hiding in terms of how it defeats the underlying processes that an
adversary uses to discover the hidden thing. An adversary’s process of discovery can take
three forms: direct observation (sensing and recognizing), investigation (evidence collection
and hypothesis formation), and learning from other people or agents. Deceptive hiding works
by defeating one or more elements of these processes. The model is applied to computer
security, and it is also applicable to other domains.
