Abstract
This book has built on the existing body of research in classical D&D and provided a theoretical framework to adapt classical D&D for cyber security, but the field of cyber-D&D has barely begun to develop. This chapter outlines promising areas for advanced research and development.

Other than a few references to detecting deception in social engineering situations, we found no research on cyber-counterdeception, per se.

One 2009 report suggested the Chinese will employ integrated network electronic warfare which includes “using techniques such as electronic jamming, electronic deception and suppression to disrupt information acquisition and information transfer, launching a virus attack or hacking to sabotage information processing and information utilization, and using anti-radiation and other weapons based on new mechanisms to destroy enemy information platforms and information facilities.” Krekel, Bryan (2009) Capability of the People’s Republic of China to Conduct Cyber Warfare and Computer Network Exploitation.
