This book is devoted to the development of efficient algorithms for enhancing security of Multiagent systems deployed in real world. In particular, we present here algorithms developed using the Decision/Game Theoretic frameworks. Our algorithms can be classified into two kinds: First, when the agent has no model ofits adversaries, the key idea is to randomize the policy of theagent to minimize the information given out. To that end, wepresent policy randomization algorithms developed using theMDP/Dec-POMDP frameworks. Second, when the agent has partial model of its adversaries, we model the security domain as a Bayesian Stackelberg game. Given the NP-hardness result to find the optimal solution, we provide efficient MILP based approaches to obtain significant speedups. The technology presented here has initiated and became heart of the ARMOR (Assistant for Randomized Monitoring over Routes) security scheduler, currently deployed at the LosAngeles International Airport (LAX) since August-07. Given the general purpose nature of our algorithms, they can potentially be used for enhancing security at many other major locations such as airports, dams, museums, stadiums and others.
