  2. 21. Usable Firewall Rule Sets

    Author : Artem Voronkov; Stefan Lindskog; Kami Vaniea; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Network Security; Usable Security; Firewall Configuration; Systematic Literature Review; Usability Metrics; User Studies; Computer Science; Datavetenskap;

    Abstract : Correct functioning is the most important requirement for any system. Nowadays there are a lot of threats to computer systems that undermine confidence in them and, as a result, force a user to abandon their use. Hence, a system cannot be trusted if there is no proper security provided. READ MORE

  4. 22. Usability of Firewall Configuration : Making the Life of System Administrators Easier

    Author : Artem Voronkov; Stefan Lindskog; Leonardo Martucci; John Sören Pettersson; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; network security; usable security; firewall configuration; firewall interfaces; usability metrics; Computer Science; Datavetenskap;

    Abstract : Firewalls are an important component of network security that serve to protect networks by regulating incoming and outgoing traffic. However, setting up firewalls correctly is a challenging task, which becomes more difficult with the growth of the network's size. READ MORE

  5. 23. Quantitative vulnerability analysis of electric power networks

    Author : Åke J. Holmgren; Torbjörn Thedéen; Lars-Göran Mattsson; Terje Aven; KTH; []
    Keywords : Safety Analysis; vulnerability; homeland security; risk analysis; network; electric power system; blackout; power law; statistical analysis; graph theory; branching process; game theory; Säkerhetsanalys; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : Disturbances in the supply of electric power can have serious implications for everyday life as well as for national (homeland) security. A power outage can be initiated by natural disasters, adverse weather, technical failures, human errors, sabotage, terrorism, and acts of war. READ MORE

  6. 24. The Security Properties of In-Network Aggregation

    Author : Kristjan Valur Jonsson; Mads Dam; Ymir Vigfusson; Philippe Bonnet; KTH; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In-network aggregation is an important paradigm for current and future networked systems, enabling efficient cooperate processing of aggregate information, while providing sub-linear scalability properties. However, security of this important class of algorithms has to date not been sufficiently addressed. READ MORE

  7. 25. Mitigating Distributed Denial-of-Service Attacks: Application-defense and Network-defense Methods

    Author : Zhang Fu; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Distributed Denial-of-Service; Network Security; Distributed Computing; System Design;

    Abstract : Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks can be so powerful that theycan easily deplete the computing resources or bandwidth of the potential targets.Based on the types of the targets, DDoS attacks can be addressed in two levels:application-level and network-level. READ MORE
