Eavesdropping Theory

Eavesdropping Theory involves studying how agents (like individuals or computers) listen in on communications without permission, often to gather information or influence outcomes. It analyzes how this covert listening affects strategies, decision-making, and security, especially in situations with conflicting interests. The theory helps understand the costs and benefits of eavesdropping, as well as how to detect or prevent it, ultimately guiding secure communication practices and strategic behavior in various fields such as economics, cybersecurity, and politics.
