Deception in computing: where and how it has been used

Deception is defined as \"presenting an altered view of reality\" and has been used by mankind for thousands of years to influence other's behavior and decision making. More recently, deception has also been applied to computing in a variety of areas, such as human computer interaction and digital communities. This work surveys different areas of computing to determine where and how they use deception. One area we study in particular is how deception is applied to security practices. This work also shows that while security is a growing field, deceptive practices have not been as readily adopted to improve defense.
