The systems that statisticians are asked to assess, such as nuclear weapons, infrastructure networks, supercomputer codes and munitions, have become increasingly complex. It is often costly to conduct full system tests. As such, we present…
A collision hazard measure that has the essential characteristics to provide a measurement of safety that will be useful to AV developers, traffic infrastructure developers and managers, regulators and the public is introduced here. The…
Wireless sensor networks have attracted a lot of interest over the last decade in wireless and mobile computing research community. Applications of these networks are numerous and growing, which range from indoor deployment scenarios in the…
With the arrival of modern internet era, large public networks of various types have come to existence to benefit the society as a whole and several research areas such as sociology, economics and geography in particular. However, the…
According to different typologies of activity and priority, risks can assume diverse meanings and it can be assessed in different ways. In general risk is measured in terms of a probability combination of an event (frequency) and its…
Security protocols are building blocks in secure communications. They deploy some security mechanisms to provide certain security services. Security protocols are considered abstract when analyzed, but they can have extra vulnerabilities…
There is increasing attention to evaluating the fairness of search system ranking decisions. These metrics often consider the membership of items to particular groups, often identified using protected attributes such as gender or ethnicity.…
Given that security threats and privacy breaches are com- monplace today, it is an important problem for one to know whether their device(s) are in a "good state of security", or is there a set of high- risk vulnerabilities that need to be…
In recent years, the emerged network worms and attacks have distributive characteristic, which can spread globally in a very short time. Security management crossing network to co-defense network-wide attacks and improve efficiency of…
Information security plays a significant role in recent information society. Increasing number and impact of cyber attacks on information assets have resulted the increasing awareness among managers that attack on information is actually…
Enforcing security requirements in networked information systems relies on security controls to mitigate the risks from increasingly dangerous threats. Configuring security controls is challenging; even nowadays, administrators must perform…
This paper proposes an actuator security index based on the definition of perfect undetectability. This index can help a control system operator to localize the most vulnerable actuators in the networked control system, which can then be…
We present a reliability measure for smart surveillance systems, taking into account the adversarial nature of intrusion. Our approach is based on percolation theory and is a generalisation of Hamedmoghadam et al.'s reliability measure.…
Cyber security can be enhanced through application of machine learning by recasting network attack data into an image format, then applying supervised computer vision and other machine learning techniques to detect malicious specimens.…
Information leakage rate is an intuitive metric that reflects the level of security in a wireless communication system, however, there are few studies taking it into consideration. Existing work on information leakage rate has two major…
Security graphs model attacks, defenses, mitigations, and vulnerabilities on computer networks and systems. With proper attributes, they provide security metrics using standard graph algorithms. A hyperflow graph is a register-transfer…
Security attacks are hard to understand, often expressed with unfriendly and limited details, making it difficult for security experts and for security analysts to create intelligible security specifications. For instance, to explain Why…
Gesture and signature passwords are two-dimensional figures created by drawing on the surface of a touchscreen with one or more fingers. Prior results about their security have used resilience to either shoulder surfing, a human observation…
In a wireless sensor network, data from various sensors are gathered to estimate the system-state of the process system. However, adversaries aim at distorting the system-state estimate, for which they may infiltrate sensors or position…
Resilience and robustness are important properties in the reliability and attack-tolerance analysis of networks. In recent decades, various qualitative and heuristic-based quantitative approaches have made significant contributions in…
