Managing Wireless Security Risks In Medical Services, Brian Cusack, Akar Kyaw
Managing Wireless Security Risks In Medical Services, Brian Cusack, Akar Kyaw
Australian eHealth Informatics and Security Conference
Medical systems are designed for a range of end users from different professional skill groups and people who carry the devices in and on their bodies. Open, accurate, and efficient communication is the priority for medical systems and consequently strong protection costs are traded against the utility benefits for open systems. In this paper we assess the vulnerabilities created by the professional and end user expectations, and theorise ways to mitigate wireless security vulnerabilities. The benefits of wireless medical services are great in terms of efficiencies, mobility, and information management. These benefits may be realised by treating the vulnerabilities and …
Security Of Electronic Health Records In A Resource Limited Setting: The Case Of Smart-Care Electronic Health Record In Zambia, Keith Mweebo
Security Of Electronic Health Records In A Resource Limited Setting: The Case Of Smart-Care Electronic Health Record In Zambia, Keith Mweebo
Australian eHealth Informatics and Security Conference
This paper presents a case study of security issues related to the operationalization of smart-care, an electronic medical record (EMR) used to manage Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) health information in Zambia. The aim of the smart-care program is to link up services and improve access to health information, by providing a reliable way to collect, store, retrieve and analyse health data in a secure way. As health professionals gain improved access to patient health information electronically, there is need to ensure this information is secured, and that patient privacy and confidentiality is maintained. During the initial stages of the program …
The Bad Guys Are Using It, Are You?, Hong-Eng Koh
The Bad Guys Are Using It, Are You?, Hong-Eng Koh
Australian Security and Intelligence Conference
From Occupy Wall Street to 2011 England riots to Arab Spring to Mumbai 26/11 to the ethnic cleansing rumors in India and increasingly used by pedophiles, social media is a very powerful tool for pedophiles, troublemakers, criminals and even terrorists to target individuals and even to go against the establishment. On the other hand, social media can save lives in a disaster, and its a natural extension of community policing or engagement. Community engagement is a must-have strategy for any public safety and security agency. However, this strategy requires the removal of stovepipe processes and systems within an agency, allowing …
I Remember Richelieu: Is Anything Secure Anymore?, Michael G. Crowley, Michael N. Johnstone
I Remember Richelieu: Is Anything Secure Anymore?, Michael G. Crowley, Michael N. Johnstone
Australian Security and Intelligence Conference
Petraeus-gate, hacked nude celebrity photos in the cloud and the recent use of a search and seizure warrant in the United States of America to seek production of customer email contents on an extraterritorial server raises important issues for the supposably safe storage of data on the World Wide Web. Not only may there be nowhere to hide in cyberspace but nothing in cyberspace may be private. This paper explores the legal and technical issues raised by the these matters with emphasis on the courts decision “In the Matter of a Warrant to Search a Certain E-Mail Account Controlled and …

Authentication And Authorisation In Entrusted Unions, Ayed F. Dhouha, Jan Camenisch, Tanya Ignatenko, Michael N. Johnstone, Paul Koster, Brigitta Lange, Milan Petkovic, Dieter Sommer, John Zic
Authentication And Authorisation In Entrusted Unions, Ayed F. Dhouha, Jan Camenisch, Tanya Ignatenko, Michael N. Johnstone, Paul Koster, Brigitta Lange, Milan Petkovic, Dieter Sommer, John Zic
Australian Information Security Management Conference
This paper reports on the status of a project whose aim is to implement and demonstrate in a real-life environment an integrated eAuthentication and eAuthorisation framework to enable trusted collaborations and delivery of services across different organisational/governmental jurisdictions. This aim will be achieved by designing a framework with assurance of claims, trust indicators, policy enforcement mechanisms and processing under encryption to address the security and confidentiality requirements of large distributed infrastructures. The framework supports collaborative secure distributed storage, secure data processing and management in both the cloud and offline scenarios and is intended to be deployed and tested in two …
Evaluating The Security Vulenerabilities Of The Ip6to4 Tunnelling Mechanism, Brian Cusack, Raymond Lutui
Evaluating The Security Vulenerabilities Of The Ip6to4 Tunnelling Mechanism, Brian Cusack, Raymond Lutui
Australian Information Security Management Conference
The two versions of Internet Protocol (IP) rely on mechanisms that will convert one protocol to the other and vice versa. Version 4 is still prevalent in the Internet backbone and version 6 in most private networks. In this research we focus on the automatic tunnelling mechanism that provides the encapsulation at one end of the transition tunnel and the de-encapsulation at the other end dependant on the direction of transition. In our research we asked: How secure is the automatic tunnelling mechanism? It is a simple question but important given the number of times transition may occur in any …
Securing Identity Information With Image Watermarks, Brian Cusack, Reza Khaleghparas
Securing Identity Information With Image Watermarks, Brian Cusack, Reza Khaleghparas
Australian Information Security Management Conference
In this paper, we describe the requirements for embedding watermarks in images used for identity verification and demonstrate a proof of concept in security sciences. The watermarking application is designed for verifying the rightful ownership of a driving license or similar identity object. The tool we built and tested embeds and extracts watermarks that contain verification information of the rightful owner. We used the human finger print of the rightful owner as the watermark. Such information protection mechanisms add an extra layer of security to the information system and improve verification of identification attributes by providing strong security. The issues …
The Impact Of Social Constructivism On Erp Systems Security: A Critical Social Review, Kennedy Njenga
The Impact Of Social Constructivism On Erp Systems Security: A Critical Social Review, Kennedy Njenga
Australian Information Security Management Conference
Little is understood about the effects of social constructivism that shapes conflicting concerns regarding Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) security and usability during implementation. This work looks at social constructivism as produced and reproduced by stakeholders in the ERP systems implementation phase. Social constructivism is characterised by the embedded trade-off for usability, espoused by end-user and security, espoused by developers. Social constructivism was conceptualised qualitatively from a selected case study. Critical Social Theory (CST) was used as the theoretical lens. Stakeholders concerned with ERP security aspects in the implementation phase were interviewed and data transcribed and interpreted. Hermeneutical interpretation was applied …
