software component misuse a privileged relationship with the hardware to by pass system protections, monitors, or forensic tools. These relationships are often not illegal and exist between system components by design. Hence, even a system…
We identify quantitative characteristics of responses to cyber compromises that can be learned from repeatable, systematic experiments. We model a vehicle equipped with an autonomous cyber-defense system and which also has some inherent…
In its Vision and Strategy for Software for Science, Engineering, and Education the NSF states that it will invest in activities that: "Recognize that software strategies must include the secure and reliable deployment and operation of…
Claims of successful quantum teleportation are backed up by showing that fidelity exceeds some specified threshold, but whether fidelity is the performance metric and what the threshold should be has been a subject of vigorous debate. We…
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) have been widely deployed across major metropolitan regions worldwide to improve roadway safety, optimize traffic flow, and reduce environmental impacts. These systems integrate advanced sensors,…
Securing HPC has a unique threat model. Untrusted, malicious code exploiting the concentrated computing power may exert an outsized impact on the shared, open-networked environment in HPC, unlike well-isolated VM tenants in public clouds.…
In the cybersecurity research community, there is no one-size-fits-all solution for merging large numbers of heterogeneous resources and experimentation capabilities from disparate specialized testbeds into integrated experiments. The…
How can we justify the validity of our computer security methods? This meta-methodological question is related to recent explorations on the science of computer security, which have been hindered by computer security's unique properties. We…
Ensuring the safe and efficient operation of CAVs relies heavily on the software framework used. A software framework needs to ensure real-time properties, reliable communication, and efficient resource utilization. Furthermore, a software…
When interacting with their software systems, users may have to deal with problems like crashes, failures, and program instability. Faulty software running in the field is not only the consequence of ineffective in-house verification and…
Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) integrate physical and embedded systems with information and communication technology systems, monitoring and controlling physical processes with minimal human intervention. The connection to information and…
Computer networks are undergoing a phenomenal growth, driven by the rapidly increasing number of nodes constituting the networks. At the same time, the number of security threats on Internet and intranet networks is constantly growing, and…
Large Language Models (LLMs) have emerged as a powerful approach for driving offensive penetration-testing tooling. Due to the opaque nature of LLMs, empirical methods are typically used to analyze their efficacy. The quality of this…
The power grid is a critical infrastructure that allows for the efficient and robust generation, transmission, delivery and consumption of electricity. In the recent years, the physical components have been equipped with computing and…
Adversaries are abusing Internet security and privacy services to execute cyber attacks. To cope with these threats, network operators utilize various security tools and techniques to monitor the cyber space. An efficient way to infer…
This study explores the state-of-the-art, application, and maturity of socio-technical security models for industries and sectors dependent on CI and investigates the gap between academic research and industry practices concerning the…
Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are interconnected architectures that employ analog, digital, and communication resources for their interaction with the physical environment. CPS are the backbone of enterprise, industrial, and critical…
We present a safety verification framework for design-time and run-time assurance of learning-based components in aviation systems. Our proposed framework integrates two novel methodologies. From the design-time assurance perspective, we…
Nowadays, companies are highly exposed to cyber security threats. In many industrial domains, protective measures are being deployed and actively supported by standards. However the global process remains largely dependent on document…
A cyber security organisation needs to ensure that its workforce possesses the necessary knowledge to fulfil its cyber security business functions. Similarly, where an organisation chooses to delegate their cyber security tasks to a third…
