Wirless Security Threat Taxonomy

چکیده
Several papers have published very specific threats to wireless networks—specifically in the area of attacks against the IEEE 802.11 Wired Equivalency Protocol (WEP). Other papers have addressed wireless attacks based on the attack models used in wired networks. However, the different characteristics of wireless networks require looking at the threat differently. We present a Wireless Threat Taxonomy that we used to build the security architecture for the Wireless Network at West Point.

Rethinking security properties, threat models, and the design space in sensor networks: A case study in SCADA systems
In recent years we have witnessed the emergence and establishment of research in sensor network security. The majority of the literature has focused on discovering numerous vulnerabilities and attacks against sensor networks, along with suggestions for corresponding countermeasures. However, there has been little guidance for understanding the holistic nature of sensor network security for prac...
متن کاملSecurity Ontology: Simulating Threats to Corporate Assets
Threat analysis and mitigation, both essential for corporate security, are time consuming, complex and demand expert knowledge. We present an approach for simulating threats to corporate assets, taking the entire infrastructure into account. Using this approach effective countermeasures and their costs can be calculated quickly without expert knowledge and a subsequent security decisions will b...
متن کاملA Taxonomy of Cyber Attacks on 3G Networks
Cross Network Services are a new breed of services that have spawned from the merger of the Internet and the previously isolated wireless telecommunication network. These services act as a launching pad for a new type of security threat the Cross Infrastructure Cyber Attack. This paper is the first to propose attack taxonomy for 3G networks. The uniqueness of this taxonomy is the inclusion of C...

With the development of incipient technologies, user devices becoming more exposed and ill-used by foes. In upcoming decades, traditional security measures will not be sufficient enough to handle this huge threat towards distributed hardware and software. Lack of standard network attack taxonomy has become an indispensable dispute on developing a clear understanding about the attacks in order t...
متن کاملInternet Infrastructure Security : A Taxonomy
The pervasive and ubiquitous nature of the Internet coupled with growing concerns about cyber terrorism demand immediate solutions for securing the Internet infrastructure. So far, the research in Internet security primarily focused on securing the information rather than securing the infrastructure itself. Given the prevailing threat situation, there is a compelling need to develop architectur...
