71 SPECIALSECTION could escape from a lab and cause a human pandemic, or that revealing details about the research could inadvertently aid terrorists seeking a bioweapon. They asked the National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity, set up after the 2001 anthrax attacks, to review the H5N1 studies.

Cloak and Dagger: Man-In-The-Middle and Other Insidious Attacks

Information has always been very valuable. Computers are entrusted to maintain and process massive amounts of information. This makes them valuable targets to attackers. One of the most devastating forms of attack is when an attacker gains access to the information without the victim even being aware of it. This paper explores some of the means by which this surreptitious access to information ...

Cloak and Dagger: Alternative Immune Evasion and Modulation Strategies of Poxviruses

As all viruses rely on cellular factors throughout their replication cycle, to be successful they must evolve strategies to evade and/or manipulate the defence mechanisms employed by the host cell. In addition to their expression of a wide array of host modulatory factors, several recent studies have suggested that poxviruses may have evolved unique mechanisms to shunt or evade host detection. ...

Cloak/anti-cloak interactions.

Coordinate-transformation cloaking is based on the design of a metamaterial shell made of an anisotropic, spatially inhomogeneous "transformation medium" that allows rerouting the impinging wave around a given region of space. In its original version, it is generally believed that, in the ideal limit, the radiation cannot penetrate the cloaking shell (from outside to inside, and viceversa). How...
