C. Kopp, “Classical Deception Techniques and Perception Management vs. the Four Strategies of Information Warfare,” in Proceedings of the 6th Australian Information Warfare & Security Conference 2005 (IWAR 2005), G. Pye and M. Warren, Eds. Geelong, Victoria: School of Information Systems, Deakin University, November 2005, pp. 81–89. Abstract The use of deception techniques for intelligence operations, strategic and tactical deception in war, politics, business and media manipulation is well established and well documented. This paper analyses established deception techniques in the context of the four canonical strategies of Information Warfare, to establish an information theoretical and game theoretical framework for future modelling and analysis.
