Synopsis

Today, more than ever, the use of denial and deception (D&D) is being used to compensate for an opponent's military superiority, to obtain or develop weapons of mass destruction, and to violate international agreements and sanctions. Although the historical literature on the use of strategic deception is widely available, technical coverage of the subject is scattered in hard-to-find and out-of-print sources. This is the first technical volume to offer you a current, comprehensive and systematic overview of the concepts and methods that underlie strategic deception and, more importantly, to provide you with an in-depth understanding of counterdeception. Moreover, this timely book offers you an excellent framework for the development of architectures and systems for deception detection and other countermeasures. You gain an in-depth understanding of the scope and complex nature of the D&D problem, and learn how to plan and organize research and development, system development, and operational activities focused on counterdeception. Further, the book suggests specific technical and organizational approaches to help you detect and defeat the D&D plans and operations of real and potential adversaries
