“…These factors vary considerably even within the same network. For example, the cost in terms of time and energy of implementing cryptography mechanisms for wireless communications is different depending on the operating system and the software used [13]. Similarly, the impact of a denial of service attack on a Security Operations Center (SOC) is typically higher than that of an anti-virus solution for a personal computer.…”

DEFIDNET: A framework for optimal allocation of cyberdefenses in Intrusion Detection Networks

Intrusion Detection Networks (IDN) are distributed cyberdefense systems composed of different nodes performing local detection and filtering functions, as well as sharing information with other nodes in the IDN. The security and resilience of such cyberdefense systems are paramount, since an attacker will try to evade them or render them unusable before attacking the end systems. In this paper, we introduce a system model for IDN nodes in terms of their logical components, functions, and communication channels. This allows us to model different IDN node roles (e.g., detectors, filters, aggregators, correlators, etc.) and architectures (e.g., hierarchical, centralized, fully distributed, etc.) We then introduce a threat model that considers adversarial actions executed against particular IDN nodes, and also the propagation of such actions throughout connected nodes. Based on such models, we finally introduce a countermeasure allocation model based on a multi-objective optimization algorithm to obtain optimal allocation strategies that minimize both risk and cost. Our experimental results obtained through simulation with different IDN architectures illustrate the benefit of our framework to design and reconfigure cyberdefense systems optimally.

“…If trustworthy considered, the security and privacy are crucial for mobile devices users including location information, online behaviour, and stored data at a time when mobile hacking and malware-contaminated applications are increasing drastically [Cachin and Schunter, 2011] [La Polla et al, 2013 [Abolfazli, et al, 2014]. Therefore, enhancing security and privacy provision in resource-constringe mobile devices tranquilize users and enrich their mobile computing experience, but decrease computing performance due to extra security-related computations and controlling overhead [Almenares et al, 2013] [ Abolfazli, et al, 2014]. In terms of application usability, offering online and offline application functionality and access to content in web and native is requested to fulfil user requirements and deliver user experience.…”

Mobile devices led to a new generation of applications that exploit their intrinsic mobility, proximity to the user, and dependence on handled devices. However, in the current technological landscape, companies face problems associated with the development of mobile applications and rapid integration with their enterprise systems to ensure value-added services to its customers. Furthermore, there are still problems with the availability and quality of communications, establishing itself as an obstacle to the provision of highly integrated applications on always-connected environments. The connectivity problem in mobile devices is generalizable and in this sense an abstraction can be created with reduced implications in the development and adaptation of existing applications to allow the services availability of the applications in highly variable environments. To fill this gap, we propose a generic model for dynamic switching of communication channels to ensure the principles of transparency in distributed environments by: (1) designing an interchangeable communication layer for mobile applications; (2) ensuring the transparency of the communication channels; (3) proposing a framework for the development of mobile applications in distributed environment to guarantee the upper cited communication transparency. Therefore and in order to support the proposed model a research is presented with mobile users of various ages and nationalities as a way of motivation for the current thesis, which allowed to measure its importance and framed the implementation of the case study that validated the proposed model and architecture using software engineering methodologies.

The remote health monitoring system enables a doctor to diagnose and monitor health problems anywhere for a patient. However, since the patient health information is very sensitive and the Internet is unsecure and prone to many attacks, data can be easily compromised by adversaries. Worse, the mobile phone is also easy to be compromised. Clearly, these issues have brought different privacy and security requirements in wireless healthcare. To address these challenging issues, in this paper, we propose an efficient privacy-preserving authentication scheme with adaptive key evolution, which can prevent illegal access to the patient's vital signs. Furthermore, we model the leakage process of the key information to set proper key renewal interval, which can adaptively control the key evolution to balance the trade-off between the communication efficiency and security level. The security analysis demonstrates that our scheme can achieve authenticated key agreement, perfect and strong key insulation, privacy preservation, and other important security goals, e.g. authenticity, integrity and freshness of transmitted messages. The performance evaluation shows that our scheme is computationally efficient for the typical mobile phone with limited resources, and it has low communication overhead.
