Pbw Deformations of Braided Products Chelsea Walton and Sarah Witherspoon

We present new examples of deformations of smash product algebras that arise from Hopf algebra actions on pairs of module algebras. These examples involve module algebras that are Koszul, in which case a PBW theorem we established previously applies. Our construction generalizes several ‘double’ constructions appearing in the literature, including Weyl algebras and some types of Cherednik algeb...

Secure Middleware for Defence Applications

Achieving robust and secure system interoperability over Mobile Wireless Networks poses a number of daunting challenges: (1) Ensuring robustness and survivability in the presence of network jamming, transient faults, frequent node failures (e.g., due to the batteries on a PDA running out,) and rapidly changing network topology and connectivity. (2) Achieving acceptable performance and providing...

Gamified Training for Cyber Defence

This work considers training needs for cyber defence and discus the gamification of training. The use of game play mechanics will be considered with a special emphasis on strategies to encourage users to engage in desired secure behaviours. The use of games and game play mechanics has been shown to be able to make the training more engaging. Serious games may as well help increase motivation am...

Defence Mechanisms for Public Systems

The third issue of the fourth volume of the EAI transactions on Security and Safety provides an insight to methods and techniques that improve security, resiliency and privacy of modern systems, such as clouds, moving target defense (MTD)-enabled systems and Blockchains. The articles that constitute this issue focus on three main areas. The first one consists of novel methods that can increase ...
