A Threat Model Approach to Attacks and Countermeasures in On-line Social Networks

چکیده
On-line Social Networks (OSN) have become the most popular Internet service today. OSN are being embraced by companies and organisations to help connecting people, assist dealing with cooperative tasks, and develop marketing and public relations campaigns. Despite all their benefits and advantages, as happens with every new technology, they are prone to several security issues. In addition to privacy concerns, there are many other dangerous vulnerabilities that affect security. In this paper, we present our Threat Modelling in OSN, which focuses on identifying attacks against users of OSN and possible countermeasures to mitigate the risks.

A survey on RPL attacks and their countermeasures
RPL (Routing Protocol for Low Power and Lossy Networks) has been designed for low power networks with high packet loss. Generally, devices with low processing power and limited memory are used in this type of network. IoT (Internet of Things) is a typical example of low power lossy networks. In this technology, objects are interconnected through a network consisted of low-power circuits. Exampl...

By creation of network of bots, they launch several attacks, distributed denial of service attacks (DDoS) on networks is a sample of such attacks. Such attacks with the occupation of system resources, have proven to be an effective method of denying network services. Botnets that launch HTTP packet flood attacks agains...
متن کاملOn Flow Correlation Attacks and Countermeasures in Mix Networks
In this paper, we address issues related to flow correlation attacks and the corresponding countermeasures in mix networks. Mixes have been used in many anonymous communication systems and are supposed to provide countermeasures that can defeat various traffic analysis attacks. In this paper, we focus on a particular class of traffic analysis attack, flow correlation attacks, by which an advers...

Realization of the promise of social networks data requires addressing these concerns. This p...
متن کاملThreshold Implementation as a Countermeasure against Power Analysis Attacks
One of the usual ways to find sensitive data or secret parameters of cryptographic devices is to use their physical leakages. Power analysis is one of the attacks which lay in such a model. In comparison with other types of side-channels, power analysis is so efficient and has a high success rate. So it is important to provide a countermeasure against it. Different types of countermeasures use ...
