Abstract
This report will examine the susceptibility of individual users to internet-based attacks on a per country basis using the methods of fuzzy mathematics. It aims to rank the world's most technologically proficient countries by the risk of their citizens to internet based cyber-crime. Fuzzy mathematical analysis of expert opinions provided methods to rank nations by an internet attack risk score. Two main factors: the user's desirability for and preparedness against attackers (denoted by target) and the means of the aggressor (denoted by means). The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), Guiasu Method, Yen Method, Dempster-Schafer (DS) Method, and the Set-Value Statistical Method (SVSM) were utilized to rank the most technologically advanced countries based upon the risk of their citizens to internet attacks. (Key Words: Internet based attack, cyber-crime, cyber terrorism, fuzzy mathematics)
