2. 1. Supporting Information Security Management : Developing a Method for Information Classification

   Author : Erik Bergström; Rose-Mharie Åhlfeldt; Fredrik Karlsson; Eva Söderström; Steven Furnell; Högskolan i Skövde; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; information classification; Information security management; Information security management systems; Information classification method; INF303 Informationssäkerhet; INF303 Information Security; Information Systems; Informationssystem IS ;

   Abstract : In the highly digitalised world in which we live today, information and information systems have become critical assets to organisations, and hence need to be safeguarded accordingly. In order to implement and work with information security in a structured way, an Information Security Management System (ISMS) can be implemented. READ MORE

4. 2. Securing Information Assets : Understanding, Measuring and Protecting against Social Engineering Attacks

   Author : Marcus Nohlberg; Benkt Wangler; Stewart Kowalski; Angela Sasse; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Computer and systems science; Data- och systemvetenskap; Computer and Systems Sciences; data- och systemvetenskap; Teknik;

   Abstract : Social engineering denotes, within the realm of security, a type of attack against the human element during which the assailant induces the victim to release information or perform actions they should not. Our research on social engineering is divided into three areas: understanding, measuring and protecting. READ MORE

5. 3. Multiple Aspects of Dynamic Rating in the Power System

   Author : Seyede Fatemeh Hajeforosh; Math Bollen; Sarah Rönnberg; Alfredo Vaccaro; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Dynamic rating; Transmission lines; Overload Protection; Stochastic analysis; Hosting capacity; Transformers; Electric Power Engineering; Elkraftteknik;

   Abstract : Increased consumption and increased use of renewable energy make overhead lines and transformers more often congested. Dynamic rating (DR) uses a time-depending maximum permissible current instead of a long-term-fixed rating; it is an effective solution to upgrade the capacity of existing grid assets to minimize this congestion.

6. 4. No Hypervisor Is an Island : System-wide Isolation Guarantees for Low Level Code

   Author : Oliver Schwarz; Mads Dam; Christian Gehrmann; Gerwin Klein; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Platform Security; Hypervisor; Formal Verification; Theorem Proving; HOL4; DMA; Peripheral Devices; Instruction Set Architectures; ISA; Information Flow; Boot; Computer Science; Datalogi;

   Abstract : The times when malware was mostly written by curious teenagers are long gone. Nowadays, threats come from criminals, competitors, and government agencies. Some of them are very skilled and very targeted in their attacks. READ MORE

7. 5. Synchrophasor Applications and their Vulnerability to Time Synchronization Impairment

   Author : Muhammad Shoaib Almas; Luigi Vanfretti; Mario Paolone; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Hardware-in-the-loop; phasor measurement units; real-time simulation; time synchronization; wide-area monitoring protection and control.; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

   Abstract : Recent years have seen the significance of utilizing time-synchronized, high resolution measurements from phasor measurement units (PMUs) to develop and implement wide-area monitoring, protection and control (WAMPAC) systems. WAMPAC systems aim to provide holistic view of the power system and enable detection and control of certain power system phenomena to enhance reliability and integrity of the grid. READ MORE
