Security threat assessment of the Internet security system has become a greater concern in recent years because of the progress and diversification of information technology. Traditionally, the failure probabilities of bottom events of an Internet security system are treated as exact values when the failure probability of the entire system is estimated. However, security threat assessment when ...

As combined new factors could further complicate the food supply and health security for regional countries, new perspective on human security should be prioritized on securing health security in the region. In recent years, food production and supply has been affected by unpredictable climate change and unaccountable manmade factors in the region. With increased pressure from food security iss...

A distinctive concern in the U.S. military for computer security dates from the emergence of time-sharing systems in the 1960s. This paper traces the subsequent development of the idea of a “security kernel” and of the mathematical modeling of security, focusing in particular on the paradigmatic Bell– LaPadula model. The paper examines the connections between computer security and formal, deduc...

Security is a critical concern around the world. In many domains from counter-terrorism to sustainability, limited security resources prevent complete security coverage at all times. Instead, these limited resources must be scheduled (or allocated or deployed), while simultaneously taking into account the importance of different targets, the responses of the adversaries to the security posture,...

With the increasing concern on global energy security and environmental sustainability [...]

The main reason for doing Data Mining is for knowledge discovery which means Data Mining finds ‘knowledge’ that is otherwise hidden by large volumes of data. When mining for hidden knowledge causes a potential security risk if the knowledge is hidden, how do we know that a security risk exists? Interesting is where the security of individual data items is not a concern, but there may be pattern...

A significant growth is observed in network technology during last few decades. Several kinds of information services are delivered using the networks. Additionally, both legitimate and malicious users are accessing the services. Moreover, the network is always vulnerable to different kinds of security issues. Therefore the domain of security is an essential aspect of the study, research, and d...

Security breaches on the socio-technical systems organizations depend on cost the latter billions of dollars of losses each year. Although information security is a growing concern, most organizations deploy technical security measures to prevent security attacks, overlooking social and organizational threats and the risks faced because of them. In this paper, we propose a method to information...

Bluetooth is a recently proposed protocol for local wireless communication and has become a de facto standard for short-range ad hoc radio connections. Security concern is one of the most important problems delaying the mass adoption of Bluetooth. This article provides a study on the security issues behind the Bluetooth standard. After a overview of the general Bluetooth protocol, a security fr...
