This paper examines how Canadian firms balance the benefits of technology adoption against the rising risk of cyber security breaches. We merge data from the 2021 Canadian Survey of Digital Technology and Internet Use and the 2021 Canadian…
We present SA-13, the 13-item Security Attitude inventory. We develop and validate this assessment of cybersecurity attitudes by conducting an exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and other tests with data from a U.S.…
Modern vehicles become increasingly digitalized with advanced information technology-based solutions like advanced driving assistance systems and vehicle-to-x communications. These systems are complex and interconnected. Rising complexity…
In order to increase the value of scientific datasets and improve research outcomes, it is important that only trustworthy data is used. This paper presents mechanisms by which scientists and the organisations they represent can certify the…
Mutual TLS (mTLS) provides strong, certificate-based authentication for both clients and servers, yet its adoption for user-facing websites remains rare. This paper presents a longitudinal study of mTLS usability, tracking 46 senior and…
Intrusion detection systems (IDS) reinforce cyber defense by autonomously monitoring various data sources for traces of attacks. However, IDSs are also infamous for frequently raising false positives and alerts that are difficult to…
The paper examines quantitative assessment of wireless distribution system security, as well as an assessment of risks from attacks and security violations. Furthermore, it describes typical security breach and formal attack models and five…
Prior work has shown that multibiometric systems are vulnerable to presentation attacks, assuming that their matching score distribution is identical to that of genuine users, without fabricating any fake trait. We have recently shown that…
This paper presents a timing attack on the FIDO2 (Fast IDentity Online) authentication protocol that allows attackers to link user accounts stored in vulnerable authenticators, a serious privacy concern. FIDO2 is a new standard specified by…
We describe a framework and tool specification that represents a step towards cybersecurity testing and monitoring of IoT ecosystems. We begin with challenges from a previous paper and discuss an integrated approach and tools to enable…
The improvements on quantum technology are threatening our daily cybersecurity, as a capable quantum computer can break all currently employed asymmetric cryptosystems. In preparation for the quantum-era the National Institute of Standards…
The Collaborative Research Cycle (CRC) is a National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) benchmarking program intended to strengthen understanding of tabular data deidentification technologies. Deidentification algorithms are…
In this paper, we use the ten security requirements proposed by Liao et al. for a smart card based authentication protocol to examine five recent work in this area. After analyses, we found that the protocols of Juang et al.'s , Hsiang et…
Cybersecurity governance influences the quality of strategic decision-making to ensure cyber risks are managed effectively. Board of Directors are the decisions-makers held accountable for managing this risk; however, they lack adequate and…
Keystroke timing based active authentication systems are conceptually attractive because: (i) they use the keyboard as the sensor and are not hardware-cost prohibitive, and (ii) they use the keystrokes generated from normal usage of…
Industrial control systems are a fundamental component of critical infrastructure networks (CIN) such as gas, water and power. With the growing risk of cyberattacks, regulatory compliance requirements are also increasing for large scale…
The growing demand for computer security and the cyberization trend are hallmarks of the 21st century. The rise in cyber-crime, digital currency, e-governance, and more, is well met by a corresponding recent jump in investment in new…
With the ubiquitous nature of information technology solutions that facilitate communication in the modern world, cyber attacks are increasing in volume and becoming more sophisticated in nature. From classic network-based Denial of Service…
In the highly interconnected digital landscape of today, safeguarding complex infrastructures against cyber threats has become increasingly challenging due to the exponential growth in the number and complexity of vulnerabilities. Resource…
Authentication systems are designed to give the right person access to an organization's information system and to restrict it from the wrong person. Such systems are designed by IT professionals to protect an organization's assets (e.g.,…
