- Contagion
- Computer security: Worms and viruses propagate by infecting a host that then scans and infects its network neighbors; the spread is modeled with the same epidemic equations used for disease, and quarantine and segmentation are the direct analogues of public-health containment.
This sourceModels self-propagating malware with the standard epidemic framework on a contact graph, identifying a critical epidemic threshold and showing that imperfect defenses (the analogues of quarantine and segmentation) suffice if transmission stays sub-critical.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
