Purpose – In any information security risk assessment, vulnerabilities are usually identified by information-gathering techniques. However, vulnerability identification errors – wrongly identified or unidentified vulnerabilities – can occur as uncertain data are used. Furthermore, businesses’ security needs are not considered sufficiently. Hence, security functions may not protect business asse...

There is a growing need for the evaluation and certification of distributed systems regarding security standards. Almost all existing multi-agent systems that have been developed in the context of the telecommunications market neglect strong security evaluations. In particular, an evaluation of a multi-agent system based on the widely accepted and well known Common Criteria standard has not bee...

Security components such as firewalls, IDS and IPS, are the most widely adopted security devices for network protection. These components are often implemented with several errors (or anomalies) that are sometimes critical. To ensure the security of their networks, administrators should detect these anomalies and correct them. Before correcting the detected anomalies, the administrator should e...

Remote electronic voting systems are more and more used not so much for parliamentary elections, but nevertheless for elections on lower levels as in associations and at universities. In order to have a basis for the evaluation and certification, in Germany a Common Criteria Protection Profile [PP08] is developed, which defines basic requirements for remote electronic voting systems.

This paper presents a method for the specification and evaluation of the security of information systems. This method is based on an extension of deontic logic, a formal language adapted for this task. First, we outline briefly the overall guidelines of the method and the various aspects of the security policy specification process. Then, the formalism is defined and extensions are proposed. To...

Public security events are occurring all over the world, bringing threat to personal and property safety, and homeland security. It is vital to construct an effective model to evaluate and predict the public security. In this work, we establish a Situation-Aware Public Security Evaluation (SAPE) platform. Based on conventional Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN), we develop a new variant of RNN to ...

Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) provide many significant advantages to the contemporary business enterprise. WLANs also provide considerable security challenges for network administrators and users. Data confidentiality (ie, unauthorised access to data) breaches are the major security vulnerability within WLANs. To date, the major IT security standards from the International Standards Orga...
