Outsourcing: The Security Risk Management Challenge, Carl Colwill
Outsourcing: The Security Risk Management Challenge, Carl Colwill
Australian Information Security Management Conference
The globalisation of business and the growth of the digital networked economy means that virtually any business process can be undertaken by someone else, somewhere in the world. To achieve business transformation within the UK Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector, BT is taking a strategic approach to outsourcing: this has resulted in a rapid and substantial increase in the outsourcing and offshoring of ICT development, maintenance and support contracts. Each and every outsourcing decision could have major security, legal, regulatory and contractual impacts. It is generally recognised that risks are likely to be compounded when outsourcing to companies based …

Secure Transmission Of Shared Electronic Health Records: A Review, Rachel J. Mahncke, Patricia A. Williams
Secure Transmission Of Shared Electronic Health Records: A Review, Rachel J. Mahncke, Patricia A. Williams
Australian Information Security Management Conference
Paperbased health records together with electronic Patient Management Systems remain the norm for hospitals and primary care practices to manage patient health information in Australia. Although the benefits of recording patient health information into an electronic format known as an electronic health record (EHR) are well documented, the use of these systems has not yet been fully realised. The next advancement for EHRs is the ability to share health records for the primary purpose of improved patient care. This may for example enable a primary care physician, with the patient’s consent, to electronically share pertinent health information with a specialist, …

Cyber Crime And Biometric Authentication – The Problem Of Privacy Versus Protection Of Business Assets, Michael G. Crowley
Australian Information Security Management Conference
Cyber crime is now a well recognised international problem that is a major issue for anyone who runs, manages, owns, uses or accesses computer systems linked to the worldwide web. Computer systems are business assets. Personal biometric information is also an asset. Studies have shown that privacy concerns represent a key hurdle to the successful introduction of biometric authentication. In addition, terrorist activity and the resultant legislation have added an additional risk factor businesses need to take into account if they propose using biometric authentication technology. This paper explores the use of biometric authentication to protect business and individual assets. …
Uncontrollable Privacy - The Right That Every Attacker Desires, Giannakis Antoniou, Stefanos Gritzalis
Uncontrollable Privacy - The Right That Every Attacker Desires, Giannakis Antoniou, Stefanos Gritzalis
Australian Information Security Management Conference
The request of the Internet users enjoying privacy during their e-activities enforces the Internet society to develop techniques which offer privacy to the Internet users, known as Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs). Among the Internet users, there are attackers who desire more than anything else to enjoy privacy during their malicious actions, and a PET is what they were looking for. Thus, although a PET should offer privacy to the internet users, proper techniques should also be employed in order to help the victims during the investigation procedure and unveil the identification of the attackers. The paper summarizes the current design …

A Knowledge Framework For Information Security Modeling, Shuangyan Liu, Ching-Hang Cheung, Lam-For Kwok
Australian Information Security Management Conference
The data collection process for risk assessment highly depends on the security experience of security staffs of an organization. It is difficult to have the right information security staff, who understands both the security requirements and the current security state of an organization and at the same time possesses the skill to perform risk assessment. However, a well defined knowledge model could help to describe categories of knowledge required to guide the data collection process. In this paper, a knowledge framework is introduced, which includes a knowledge model to define the data skeleton of the risk environment of an organization …
The Derivation Of A Conceptual Model For It Security Outsourcing, W D. Wilde, M J. Warren, W Hutchinson
The Derivation Of A Conceptual Model For It Security Outsourcing, W D. Wilde, M J. Warren, W Hutchinson
Australian Information Security Management Conference
IT security outsourcing is the establishment of a contractual relationship between an organization with an outside vendor which assumes responsibility for the organisation’s security functions. Outsourcing in IS has had a variable history of success and the complexity of the decision making process leads to a substantial degree of uncertainty. This is especially so in the realm of IS security since the protection of both hardware and software systems is placed in the hands of an external provider. This paper is a fuller and more comprehensive paper of a previous paper outlining the effectiveness of the decision making process by …

It is a well known fact that while Email is a valuable tool to any business that it has also become the main cause in the distribution of viruses, worms and other malware. Further to this is the real threat of spyware that can affect performance on computers, phishing schemes that can cheat employees into giving up valuable information, such as passwords, using social engineering and the timeconsuming and costly effect of spam to a corporate network. This paper will analyse and show the effect of a successful implementation of Email filtering software in a large corporation, together with some …
Qos Issues Of Using Probabilistic Non-Repudiation Protocol In Mobile Ad Hoc Network Environment, Yi-Chi Lin, Jill Slay
Qos Issues Of Using Probabilistic Non-Repudiation Protocol In Mobile Ad Hoc Network Environment, Yi-Chi Lin, Jill Slay
Australian Information Security Management Conference
So as to guarantee the fairness of electronic transactions, users may require a NonRepudiation (NR) service in any type of network. However, most existing NR protocols cannot work properly in a Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) due to their characteristics (e.g. limited resources and lack of central authority). The design of the Probabilistic NonRepudiation Protocol (PNRP) is comparatively suitable for the nature of a MANET, but it still poses some QoS issues. This article points out the QoS issues which are caused by using PNRP in a MANET environment. These issues explain the difficult of performing PNRP in such an …
Does Your Wireless Lan Have Criminal Intent?, Michael Crowley, Andrew Woodward
Does Your Wireless Lan Have Criminal Intent?, Michael Crowley, Andrew Woodward
Australian Information Security Management Conference
All of the literature relating to wireless network security has focused on the flaws, newer alternatives and suggestions for securing the network. There is much speculation and anecdotal statements in relation to what can happen if a breach occurs, but this is mostly from a computer security perspective, and mostly expressed in terms of potential for financial loss. This paper examines the potential legal ramifications of failing to properly secure a wireless network. Several scenarios are examined within based on usage of wireless on the various category of attack. Legal opinion, backed up with case law, is provided for each …
The Information Security Ownership Question In Iso/Iec 27001 – An Implementation, Lizzie Coles-Kemp, Richard E. Overill
The Information Security Ownership Question In Iso/Iec 27001 – An Implementation, Lizzie Coles-Kemp, Richard E. Overill
Australian Information Security Management Conference
The information security management standard ISO/IEC 27001 is built on the notion that information security is driven by risk assessment and risk treatment. Fundamental to the success of risk assessment and treatment is the decision making process that takes risk assessment output and assigns decisions to this output in terms of risk treatment actions. It is argued that the effectiveness of the management system lies in its ability to make effective, easytoimplement and measurable decisions. One of the key issues in decision making is ownership. In this paper two aspects of information security ownership are considered: ownership of the asset …
The Lazarus Effect: Resurrecting Killed Rfid Tags, Christopher Bolan
The Lazarus Effect: Resurrecting Killed Rfid Tags, Christopher Bolan
Australian Information Security Management Conference
Several RFID Standards allow RFID Tags to be ‘killed’ using a specialised command code. ‘Killed’ RFID Tags should be irrevocably deactivated. In actuality, when a valid kill command is sent to a tag four sections of the tags management data are zeroed causing the tag to enter a ‘fault state’ and thus be ignored by RFID readers. Through the reinitialisation of these four sections to valid values it was discovered that a tag could be resurrected and function normally.
Network Forensics And Privacy Enhancing Technologies “Living” Together In Harmony, Giannakis Antoniou, Stefanos Gritzalis
Network Forensics And Privacy Enhancing Technologies “Living” Together In Harmony, Giannakis Antoniou, Stefanos Gritzalis
Australian Information Security Management Conference
Privacy Enhancing Technology (PET) is the technology responsible to hide the identification of Internet users, whereas network forensics is a technology responsible to reveal the identification of Internet users who perform illegal actions through the Internet. The paper identifies the collision of these opposite-goal technologies and describes what happens in case they come across. Can a Network Forensics protocol discover the identification of an Internet user who is trying to be anonymous behind a PET? The paper also proposes a way to bridge and eliminate the gap between these two technologies.

Individuals’ Perceptions Of Wireless Security In The Home Environment, Patryk Szewczyk
Australian Information Security Management Conference
Research in 802.11 wireless networking has in the past focused predominantly on corporate wireless network use, or identifying the flaws in wireless security. This study was aimed to determine the individuals’ perceptions of wireless security in the home environment. 163 volunteers completed a survey on their perceptions, knowledge, experiences and attitudes towards wireless networking. The results of the survey indicated that there is little difference in knowledge between those who had worked in the IT industry, and those who did not. The sources of information used to configure wireless networks are not improving the knowledge respondents had on wireless security. …
Making Research Real: Is Action Research A Suitable Methodology For Medical Information Security Investigations?, Patricia A. Williams
Making Research Real: Is Action Research A Suitable Methodology For Medical Information Security Investigations?, Patricia A. Williams
Australian Information Security Management Conference
In the medical field, information security is an important yet vastly underrated issue. Research into the protection of sensitive medical data is often technically focused and does not address information systems and behavioural aspects integral to effective information security implementation. Current information security policy and guidelines are strategically oriented which, whilst relevant to large organisations, are less supportive to smaller enterprises such as primary care practices. Further, the conservative nature of the medical profession has been shown to hinder investigation into information technology use and management, making effective improvement based on research problematical. It is an environment which relies greatly …
Managing Information Security Complexity, Murray Brand
Managing Information Security Complexity, Murray Brand
Australian Information Security Management Conference
This paper examines using a requirements management tool as a common thread to managing the complexity of information security systems. Requirements management provides a mechanism to trace requirements through to design, implementation, operating, monitoring, reviewing, testing, and reporting by creating links to associated, critical artefacts. This is instrumental in managing complex and dynamic systems where change can impact other subsystems and associated documentation. It helps to identify the affected artefacts through many layers. Benefits to this approach would include better project planning and management, improved risk management, superior change management, ease of reuse, enhanced quality control and more effective acceptance …

Mapping The Consensual Knowledge Of Security Risk Management Experts, David J. Brooks
Mapping The Consensual Knowledge Of Security Risk Management Experts, David J. Brooks
Australian Information Warfare and Security Conference
The security industry comprises of diverse and multidisciplined practitioners, originating from many disciplines. It has been suggested that the industry has an undefined knowledge structure, although security experts contain a rich knowledge structure. There has also been limited research mapping security expert knowledge structure, reducing the ability of tertiary educators to provide industry focused teaching and learning. The study utilized multidimensional scaling (MDS) and expert interviews to map the consensual knowledge structure of security experts in their understanding of security risk. Security risk concepts were extracted and critiqued from West Australian university courses. Linguistic analysis categorised the more utilized security …

Cheating To Get Better Roommates In A Random Stable Matching, Chien-Chung Huang
Cheating To Get Better Roommates In A Random Stable Matching, Chien-Chung Huang
Computer Science Technical Reports
This paper addresses strategies for the stable roommates problem, assuming that a stable matching is chosen at random. We investigate how a cheating man should permute his preference list so that he has a higher-ranking roommate probabilistically. In the first part of the paper, we identify a necessary condition for creating a new stable roommate for the cheating man. This condition precludes any possibility of his getting a new roommate ranking higher than all his stable roommates when everyone is truthful. Generalizing to the case that multiple men collude, we derive another impossibility result: given any stable matching in which …

Evaluating Next Cell Predictors With Extensive Wi-Fi Mobility Data, Libo Song, David Kotz, Ravi Jain, Xiaoning He
Dartmouth Scholarship
Location is an important feature for many applications, and wireless networks can better serve their clients by anticipating client mobility. As a result, many location predictors have been proposed in the literature, though few have been evaluated with empirical evidence. This paper reports on the results of the first extensive empirical evaluation of location predictors, using a two-year trace of the mobility patterns of over 6,000 users on Dartmouth's campus-wide Wi-Fi wireless network. The surprising results provide critical evidence for anyone designing or using mobility predictors. \par We implemented and compared the prediction accuracy of several location predictors drawn from …
