Abstract
In today's modern society, the increasing demands for connectivity and

accessibility place computers in ever larger internetworks. As more

and more computers become globally accessible, the number of threats

from random and targeted attacks rise rapidly. To counter known and

unknown threats, various technologies and concepts are employed as

defensive measures. One concept that is in rising popularity is

computer deception, the subject of this thesis.

The field of computer deception is characterized by fragmentation and

is lacking unified definitions and methods. This thesis has reviewed

five deception paradigms, in order to build a descriptive theory that

is used for understanding the concept of computer deception. The

border between human deception and computer deception is investigated.

The thesis concludes that computer deception for defense rarely can be

seen as a field unrelated to human deception. When attacker tools are

targeted for deception, they are only intermediary steps on the way to

a human attacker. This makes the core issues of computer deception a

matter of psychology, not technology. Computer specialists without

knowledge of psychology do not have the expertise necessary for

estimating the consequences of deceptions on human attackers.
