Book SynopsisModern critical infrastructures comprise of many interconnected cyber and physical assets, and as such are large scale cyber-physical systems. Hence, the conventional approach of securing these infrastructures by addressing cyber security and physical security separately is no longer effective. Rather more integrated approaches that address the security of cyber and physical assets at the same time are required. This book presents integrated (i.e. cyber and physical) security approaches and technologies for the critical infrastructures that underpin our societies. Specifically, it introduces advanced techniques for threat detection, risk assessment and security information sharing, based on leading edge technologies like machine learning, security knowledge modelling, IoT security and distributed ledger infrastructures. Likewise, it presets how established security technologies like Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), pen-testing, vulnerability assessment and security data analytics can be used in the context of integrated Critical Infrastructure Protection.The novel methods and techniques of the book are exemplified in case studies involving critical infrastructures in four industrial sectors, namely finance, healthcare, energy and communications. The peculiarities of critical infrastructure protection in each one of these sectors is discussed and addressed based on sector-specific solutions.The advent of the fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0) is expected to increase the cyber-physical nature of critical infrastructures as well as their interconnection in the scope of sectorial and cross-sector value chains. Therefore, the demand for solutions that foster the interplay between cyber and physical security, and enable Cyber-Physical Threat Intelligence is likely to explode. In this book, we have shed light on the structure of such integrated security systems, as well as on the technologies that will underpin their operation. We hope that Security and Critical Infrastructure Protection stakeholders will find the book useful when planning their future security strategies.Table of Contents Preface Part I: Securing Critical Infrastructures of the Financial Sector Security Challenges for the Critical Infrastructures of the Financial Sector A Reference Architecture for Securing Infrastructures in the Finance Sector FINSTIX: A Security Knowledge Base for the Finance Sector Artificial Intelligence Gateway for Cyber-Physical Security in Critical Infrastructure and Finance Information Sharing and Stakeholders' Collaboration for Stronger Security in Financial Sector Supply Chains: A Blockchain Approach Automated Assistance to the Security Assessment of APIs for Financial Services Adaptive and Intelligent Data Collection for Security of Critical Financial Infrastructures and ServicesPart II: Securing Critical Infrastructures of the Health Sector Security Challenges for the Critical Infrastructures of the Healthcare Sector Security Systems in the Healthcare Sector Integrated Cyber-Physical Security Approach for Healthcare Sector Vulnerability and incident propagation in cyber-physical systems Innovative Toolkit to Assess and Mitigate Cyber Threats in the Healthcare SectorPart III: Securing Critical Infrastructures of the Energy Sector Security Challenges for the Critical Infrastructures of the Energy Sector Securing CEI by-design Securing CEI by-innovationPart IV: Securing Critical Infrastructures of the Communications Sector Security and Resilience Challenges for the Critical Infrastructures of the Communications Sector Resilience enhancement and risk control Platform for Communication Infrastructure Operators Managed Security on 5G communication networks: the Software Defined Security paradigmPart V: Sector Agnostic Issues in Critical Infrastructures Protection Detection of innovative low-rate denial of service attacks against critical infrastructures Resilience analysis and quantification for Critical Infrastructures CISIApro Critical Infrastructures Modelling technique for an effective Decision Making Support Modern innovative detectors of physical threats for Critical Infrastructures The Ethical Aspects of Critical Infrastructure Protection

Book SynopsisSecurity Architecture, or Enterprise Information security architecture, as it was originally coined by Gartner back in 2006, has been applied to many things and different areas, making a concrete definition of security architecture a difficult proposition. But having an architecture for the cyber security needs of an organization is important for many reasons, not least because having an architecture makes working with cyber security a much easier job, since we can now build on a, hopefully, solid foundation. Developing a security architecture is a daunting job for almost anyone, and in a company that has not had a cyber security program implemented before, the job becomes even harder. The benefits of having a concrete cyber security architecture in place cannot be overstated! The challenge here is that a security architecture is not something that can stand alone, it absolutely must be aligned with the business in which it is being implemented.This book emphasizes the importance, and the benefits, of having a security architecture in place. The book will be aligned with most of the sub-frameworks in the general framework called SABSA, or Sherwood Applied Business Security Architecture. SABSA is comprised of several individual frameworks and there are several certifications that you can take in SABSA. Aside from getting a validation of your skills, SABSA as a framework focuses on aligning the Security Architecture with the business and its strategy. Each of the chapters in this book will be aligned with one or more of the components in SABSA, the components will be described along with the introduction to each of the chapters.Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisModern internet-enabled devices and fast communication technologies have ushered in a revolution in sharing of digital images and video. This may be for social reasons or for commercial and industrial applications, where the data is more likely to include sensitive personal or confidential information. In any event, the shared imagery is intended only for the end-user. Attackers can steal this data or manipulate it for their own uses, causing financial and emotional damage to the owners. Many applications generate important information in the form of images and video, where efficient security is critical. This drives the need for advanced security solutions and the need to continuously develop and maintain security measures in an ever-evolving battle against fraud and malicious intent.There are various techniques employed in protecting digital media and information, such as digital watermarking, cryptography, stenography, data encryption, etc., In addition, sharing platforms and connected nodes themselves may be open to vulnerabilities and can suffer from security breaches. This book reviews present state-of-the-art research related to the security of digital imagery and video, including developments in machine learning applications. It is particularly suited for those that bridge the academic world and industry, and allows readers to understand the security concerns in the multimedia domain by reviewing present and evolving security solutions, their limitations, and future research directions.Key Features Latest trends in the multimedia security domain Includes Machine Learning for multimedia security Insight to different security concerns (attacks) Reviews present challenges & future opportunities Potential & promising solution to the security concerns

Book SynopsisMilitary and intelligence leaders agree that the next major war is not likely to be fought on the battleground but in cyber space. Richard Stiennon argues the era of cyber warfare has already begun. Recent cyber attacks on United States government departments and the Pentagon corroborate this claim. China has compromised email servers at the German Chancellery, Whitehall, and the Pentagon. In August 2008, Russia launched a cyber attack against Georgia that was commensurate with their invasion of South Ossetia. This was the first time that modern cyber attacks were used in conjunction with a physical attack. Every day, thousands of attempts are made to hack into America's critical infrastructure. These attacks, if successful, could have devastating consequences. In Surviving Cyberwar, Stiennon introduces cyberwar, outlines an effective defense against cyber threats, and explains how to prepare for future attacks. The book: ·begins with Shawn Carpenter and his discovery that China had hacked into his work place, Sandia Labs; ·follows the rise of cyber espionage on the part of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) as increasingly sophisticated and overt attacks are carried out against government and military networks around the world; ·moves from cyber espionage to cyberwar itself, revealing the rise of distributed denial of service (DDoS) as a means of attacking servers, websites, and countries; ·provides a historical perspective on technology and warfare is provided, drawing on lessons learned from Sun Tsu to Lawrence of Arabia to Winston Churchill; and ·finishes by considering how major democracies are preparing for cyberwar and predicts ways that a new era of cyber conflict is going to impact the Internet, privacy, and the way the world works. This text is a stimulating and informative look at one of the gravest threats to Homeland Security today, offering new insights to technologists on the front lines, helping policy makers understand the challenges they face, and providing guidance for every organization to help reduce exposure to cyber threats. It is essential reading for anyone concerned with the current geopolitical state of affairs. Trade ReviewRichard Stiennon's Surviving Cyberwar is not only a valuable primer on the alarmingly advanced state of the art of cyber conflict but a much-needed guide for companies, governments, and others on how to think about protecting themselves. -- Joseph Menn, author of Fatal System Error: The Hunt for the New Crime Lords Who Are Bringing Down the Internet.Table of ContentsChapter 1 Titan Rain and Shawn Carpenter Chapter 2 The Red Wars Chapter 3 Countering Cyber Espionage Chapter 4 Toppling Email Servers Chapter 5 The Pentagon Chapter 6 Geopolitical Cyber Hotspots Chapter 7 DDoS Defense Chapter 8 Crowd Sourcing Cyber Attacks Chapter 9 Oh Estonia Chapter 10 Cyberwar Cuts a Swath through Eastern Europe Chapter 11 Georgia: The First Cyberwar Chapter 12 Conflict Causes Change Chapter 13 Four Pillars of Cyberwar Chapter 14 Cyber Preparedness Chapter 15 Repercussions

Book SynopsisWhen the SCION project started in 2009, the goal was to create an architecture offering high availability and security for basic point-to-point communication. In the five years since the publication of SCION: A Secure Internet Architecture, this next-generation Internet architecture has evolved in terms of both design and deployment.On the one hand, there has been development of exciting new concepts and systems, including a new global time-synchronization system, an inter-domain approach for bandwidth reservations called COLIBRI, and Green Networking, which allows combating global climate change on three fronts. On the other hand, SCION is now also in production use by the Swiss financial ecosystem, and enables participants such as the Swiss National Bank, the Swiss provider of clearing services (SIX), and all Swiss financial institutes to communicate securely and reliably with each other via the Secure Swiss Finance Network.This unique guidebook provides an updated description of SCION's main components, covering new research topics and the most recent deployments. In particular, it presents in-depth discussion of formal verification efforts. Importantly, it offers a comprehensive, thorough description of the current SCION system: Describes the principles that guided SCION's design as a secure and robust Internet architecture Provides a comprehensive description of the next evolution in the way data finds its way through the Internet Explains how SCION can contribute to reducing carbon emissions, by introducing SCION Green Networking Demonstrates how SCION not only functions in academic settings but also works in production deployments Discusses additional use cases for driving SCION's adoption Presents the approaches for formal verification of protocols and code Illustrated with many colorful figures, pictures, and diagrams, allowing easy access to the concepts and use cases Assembled by a team with extensive experience in the fields of computer networks and security, this text/reference is suitable for researchers, practitioners, and graduate students interested in network security. Also, readers with limited background in computer networking but with a desire to know more about SCION will benefit from an overview of relevant chapters in the beginning of the book.Table of

Book SynopsisThe continuous evolution and widespread application of communication technology, network technology and computing technology have promoted the intelligent interconnection of all things and ubiquitous sharing of information. The cross-border, cross-system, and cross-ecosystem exchange of user data has become commonplace. At the same time, difficulties in the prevention of private information abuse and lack of protection methods have become global problems. As such, there is an urgent need to intensify basic theoretical research in this field to support the protection of personal information in a ubiquitously interconnected environment. The authors of this book proposed the concept, definition and research scope of privacy computing for the first time in 2015. This book represents their original and innovative scientific research achievement dedicated to privacy computing research, and systematically explains the basic theory and technology involved. It introduces readers to the connection between personal information and privacy protection, defines privacy protection and privacy desensitization, clarifies and summarizes the limitations of existing privacy-preserving technologies in practical information system applications, analyzes the necessity of conducting privacy computing research, and proposes the concept, definition and research scope of privacy computing. It comprehensively expounds the theoretical system of privacy computing and some privacy-preserving algorithms based on the idea of privacy computing. In closing, it outlines future research directions.Table of ContentsChapter 1 Introduction.- Chapter 2 Privacy Protection Related Technologies.- Chapter 3 Privacy Computing Theory.- Chapter 4 Privacy Computing Technology.- Chapter 5 The future trend of privacy computing.

Book SynopsisIncreasingly our critical infrastructures are reliant on computers. We see examples of such infrastructures in several domains, including medical, power, telecommunications, and finance. Although automation has advantages, increased reliance on computers exposes our critical infrastructures to a wider variety and higher likelihood of accidental failures and malicious attacks. Disruption of services caused by such undesired events can have catastrophic effects, such as disruption of essential services and huge financial losses. The increased reliance of critical services on our cyberinfrastructure and the dire consequences of security breaches have highlighted the importance of information security. Authorization, security protocols, and software security are three central areas in security in which there have been significant advances in developing systematic foundations and analysis methods that work for practical systems. This book provides an introduction to this work, covering representative approaches, illustrated by examples, and providing pointers to additional work in the area.

Book SynopsisThis book deals with "crypto-biometrics", a relatively new and multi-disciplinary area of research (started in 1998). Combining biometrics and cryptography provides multiple advantages, such as, revocability, template diversity, better verification accuracy, and generation of cryptographically usable keys that are strongly linked to the user identity. In this text, a thorough review of the subject is provided and then some of the main categories are illustrated with recently proposed systems by the authors. Beginning with the basics, this text deals with various aspects of crypto-biometrics, including review, cancelable biometrics, cryptographic key generation from biometrics, and crypto-biometric key sharing protocols. Because of the thorough treatment of the topic, this text will be highly beneficial to researchers and industry professionals in information security and privacy.

Book SynopsisOperating systems provide the fundamental mechanisms for securing computer processing. Since the 1960s, operating systems designers have explored how to build "secure" operating systems - operating systems whose mechanisms protect the system against a motivated adversary. Recently, the importance of ensuring such security has become a mainstream issue for all operating systems. In this book, we examine past research that outlines the requirements for a secure operating system and research that implements example systems that aim for such requirements. For system designs that aimed to satisfy these requirements, we see that the complexity of software systems often results in implementation challenges that we are still exploring to this day. However, if a system design does not aim for achieving the secure operating system requirements, then its security features fail to protect the system in a myriad of ways. We also study systems that have been retrofit with secure operating system features after an initial deployment. In all cases, the conflict between function on one hand and security on the other leads to difficult choices and the potential for unwise compromises. From this book, we hope that systems designers and implementors will learn the requirements for operating systems that effectively enforce security and will better understand how to manage the balance between function and security.

Book SynopsisThe social benefit derived from Online Social Networks (OSNs) can lure users to reveal unprecedented volumes of personal data to an online audience that is much less trustworthy than their offline social circle. Even if a user hides his personal data from some users and shares with others, privacy settings of OSNs may be bypassed, thus leading to various privacy harms such as identity theft, stalking, or discrimination. Therefore, users need to be assisted in understanding the privacy risks of their OSN profiles as well as managing their privacy settings so as to keep such risks in check, while still deriving the benefits of social network participation. This book presents to its readers how privacy risk analysis concepts such as privacy harms and risk sources can be used to develop mechanisms for privacy scoring of user profiles and for supporting users in privacy settings management in the context of OSNs. Privacy scoring helps detect and minimize the risks due to the dissemination and use of personal data. The book also discusses many open problems in this area to encourage further research.Table of ContentsAcknowledgments.- Introduction.- Terminology and Definitions.- Dimensions of Privacy Scoring in OSNs.- Attribute Visibility in OSN.- Harm Trees for OSNs.- Privacy Risk Analysis in OSNs.- Social Benefits.- Choosing the Right Privacy Settings.- Conclusion.- Bibliography.- Authors' Biographies.

Book SynopsisThe current social and economic context increasingly demands open data to improve scientific research and decision making. However, when published data refer to individual respondents, disclosure risk limitation techniques must be implemented to anonymize the data and guarantee by design the fundamental right to privacy of the subjects the data refer to. Disclosure risk limitation has a long record in the statistical and computer science research communities, who have developed a variety of privacy-preserving solutions for data releases. This Synthesis Lecture provides a comprehensive overview of the fundamentals of privacy in data releases focusing on the computer science perspective. Specifically, we detail the privacy models, anonymization methods, and utility and risk metrics that have been proposed so far in the literature. Besides, as a more advanced topic, we identify and discuss in detail connections between several privacy models (i.e., how to accumulate the privacy guarantees they offer to achieve more robust protection and when such guarantees are equivalent or complementary); we also explore the links between anonymization methods and privacy models (how anonymization methods can be used to enforce privacy models and thereby offer ex ante privacy guarantees). These latter topics are relevant to researchers and advanced practitioners, who will gain a deeper understanding on the available data anonymization solutions and the privacy guarantees they can offer.Table of ContentsPreface.- Acknowledgments.- Introduction.- Privacy in Data Releases.- Anonymization Methods for Microdata.- Quantifying Disclosure Risk: Record Linkage.- The k-Anonymity Privacy Model.- Beyond k-Anonymity: l-Diversity and t-Closeness.- t-Closeness Through Microaggregation.- Differential Privacy.- Differential Privacy by Multivariate Microaggregation.- Differential Privacy by Individual Ranking Microaggregation.- Conclusions and Research Directions.- Bibliography.- Authors' Biographies .

Book SynopsisRecently, mobile security has garnered considerable interest in both the research community and industry due to the popularity of smartphones. The current smartphone platforms are open systems that allow application development, also for malicious parties. To protect the mobile device, its user, and other mobile ecosystem stakeholders such as network operators, application execution is controlled by a platform security architecture. This book explores how such mobile platform security architectures work. We present a generic model for mobile platform security architectures: the model illustrates commonly used security mechanisms and techniques in mobile devices and allows a systematic comparison of different platforms. We analyze several mobile platforms using the model. In addition, this book explains hardware-security mechanisms typically present in a mobile device. We also discuss enterprise security extensions for mobile platforms and survey recent research in the area of mobile platform security. The objective of this book is to provide a comprehensive overview of the current status of mobile platform security for students, researchers, and practitioners.Table of ContentsPreface.- Introduction.- Platform Security Model.- Mobile Platforms.- Platform Comparison.- Mobile Hardware Security.- Enterprise Security Extensions.- Platform Security Research.- Conclusions.- Bibliography.- Authors' Biographies .

Book SynopsisAs a fast-evolving new area, RFID security and privacy has quickly grown from a hungry infant to an energetic teenager during recent years. Much of the exciting development in this area is summarized in this book with rigorous analyses and insightful comments. In particular, a systematic overview on RFID security and privacy is provided at both the physical and network level. At the physical level, RFID security means that RFID devices should be identified with assurance in the presence of attacks, while RFID privacy requires that RFID devices should be identified without disclosure of any valuable information about the devices. At the network level, RFID security means that RFID information should be shared with authorized parties only, while RFID privacy further requires that RFID information should be shared without disclosure of valuable RFID information to any honest-but-curious server which coordinates information sharing. Not only does this book summarize the past, but it also provides new research results, especially at the network level. Several future directions are envisioned to be promising for advancing the research in this area.Table of ContentsPreface.- Acknowledgments.- Introduction.- RFID Security at the Physical Level.- RFID Privacy at the Physical Level.- RFID Security at the Network Level.- RFID Privacy at the Network Level.- Summary and Future Directions.- Bibliography.- Authors' Biographies .
