Abstract
Some information systems are critical to defend against malicious attack. Yet they often rely on just the same countermeasures as any
system ? firewalls, authentication, intrusion-detection systems, and encryp!tion ? although politically motivated attackers may be far
more determined than hackers to bring them down. Future information security will increasingly use ideas from military defensive
tactics [3] to effectively defend critical information sys!tems. This will include automatic "counterintelligence" with deliberately
deceptive behavior, what we call "software decoys". Decoys can deceive attackers into thinking their attacks have succeeded while
protecting key assets at least temporarily.
