Dependability encompasses diierent classes of system properties, related to security, reliability, or safety. This paper examines the relevance of the security concept of noninterference to safety-related properties, and conversely the applicability of fault-tolerance mechanisms usually applied to provide safety and reliability in the security domain.

I will start with a less cheerful introduction by reviewing some disasters which took place in 2013. Then I will give a simple analysis of safety and security. Before presenting some methodological remarks about safety and security studies, I may have to ‘frighten’ you a bit by sketching some possible undesired scenario’s involving the Aula, the place where we are sitting now. Such a scenario b...

Modern industrial control systems become increasingly interconnected and rely on external networks to provide their services. Hence they become vulnerable to security attacks that might directly jeopardise their safety. The growing understanding that if the system is not secure then it is not safe calls for novel development and verification techniques weaving security consideration into the sa...

Educating students in the range of subjects encompassing food safety and security as approached from a One Health perspective requires consideration of a variety of different disciplines and the interrelationships among disciplines. The Western Institute for Food Safety and Security developed a subject matter outline to accompany a previously published One Health in food safety and security cur...

This paper introduces and exemplifies a trade-off analysis of safety and security properties in distributed systems. The aim is to support analysis for real-time communication and authentication building blocks in a wireless communication scenario. By embedding an authentication scheme into a real-time communication protocol for safety-critical scenarios, we can rely on the protocol’s individua...

conclusions overall, two hospitals had high levels of readiness in the assessment (above 80%). given that iran, and particularly its neighbor azerbaijan, is a crisis-prone country, adherence to non-structural security protocols of the who has had a significant effect on the non-structural readiness and safety of hospitals. results the lowest level of performance was observed in communication an...
