Five studies investigate identity denial, the situation in which an individual is not recognized as a member of an important in-group. Asian Americans are seen as less American than other Americans (Study 1) and realize this is the case, although they do not report being any less American than White Americans (Studies 2A and 2B). Identity denial is a common occurrence in Asian Americans' daily ...

BACKGROUND For many years, several cases of neonaticide resulting from a denial of pregnancy were reported in the press. Recently, a case of neonaticide made headlines in Belgium: a woman realised that she was pregnant during childbirth. A few minutes after the delivery, the baby was asphyxiated to death. In the obstetric history of the patient, we note six pregnancies, of which three births we...

Denial of service attacks are not new. However, the recent increase of their power and their use by organized criminal organizations make necessary to consider them as one of the major issues IT infrastructures will have to face in the next few years. Trying to defeat those attacks without understanding their technical aspects is illusory. As such, this document intends to provide as much detai...

Integrity constraints (ICs) provide a valuable tool for enforcing correct application semantics. However, designing ICs requires experts and time. Proposals for automatic discovery have been made for some formalisms, such as functional dependencies and their extension conditional functional dependencies. Unfortunately, these dependencies cannot express many common business rules. For example, a...

In this paper we explore the use of spectral analysis techniques applied to artifacts of denial of service attacks called backscatter packets. First, we detail how to partition backscatter data collected by a network sensor into logical attacks. Since backscatter packets are the result of spoofed packets sent to the target by the attacker, determining attack boundaries is an important first ste...

One research tradition has distinguished self-deception, the tendency to give favorably biased but honestly held self-descriptions from impression management, the tendency to give favorable selfdescriptions to others. A 2nd tradition has distinguished enhancement, the claiming of positive attributes, from denial, the repudiation of negative attributes. The 2 distinctions were evaluated jointly ...

The IEEE 802.15.4 standard features some optional services, including the Guaranteed Time Slot (GTS) mechanism. It provides network devices with collision-free access to the medium to assure Quality of Service. GTS suffers from a severe security vulnerability: an adversary can easily perform a Denial of Service attack by selectively jamming collision-free communications. We present Secure GTS, ...
