Defending against Roadside Attackers
Communication between vehicles is a very promising technology to reduce fatalities and injuries in road traffic. Vehicles spontaneously form communication networks where they exchange messages to warn surrounding vehicles. Theoretically, this system is open to any communication node that is equipped with the required communication technology. This openness demands appropriate security mechanism...
متن کاملDefending Against Statistical Steganalysis
The main purpose of steganography is to hide the occurrence of communication. While most methods in use today are invisible to an observer’s senses, mathematical analysis may reveal statistical anomalies in the stego medium. These discrepancies expose the fact that hidden communication is happening. This paper presents improved methods for information hiding. One method uses probabilistic embed...
متن کاملDefending against Catastrophic Terrorism
Terrorist attacks can cause devastating damage to a society through the use of chemical, biological, or radiological weapons. Biological attacks may cause contamination, infectious disease outbreaks, and significant loss of life. Information systems that can efficiently and effectively collect, access, analyze, and report infectious disease data can help prevent, detect, respond to, and manage ...
متن کاملTransitivity, the Sorites Paradox, and Similarity-Based Decision-Making
A persistent argument against the transitivity assumption of rational choice theory postulates a repeatable action that generates a signi cant bene t at the expense of a negligible cost. No matter how many times the action has been taken, it therefore seems reasonable for a decision-maker to take the action one more time. However, matters are so xed that the costs of taking the action some lar...
متن کاملDefending against multiple different attackers
One defender defends, and multiple heterogeneous attackers attack, an asset. Three scenarios are considered: the agents move simultaneously; the defender moves first; or the attackers move first. We show how the agents’ unit costs of defense and attack, their asset evaluations, and the number of attackers influence their investments, profits, and withdrawal decisions. Withdrawal does not occur ...
