A Stochastic Game Theoretical Model For Cyber Security, Michael T. Larkin
A Stochastic Game Theoretical Model For Cyber Security, Michael T. Larkin
Theses and Dissertations
The resiliency of systems integrated through cyber networks is of utmost importance due to the reliance on these systems for critical services such as industrial control systems, nuclear production, and military weapons systems. Current research in cyber resiliency remains largely limited to methodologies utilizing a singular technique that is predominantly theoretical with limited examples given. This research uses notional data in presenting a novel approach to cyber system analysis and network resource allocation by leveraging multiple techniques including game theory, stochastic processes, and mathematical programming. An operational network security problem consisting of 20 tactical normal form games provides an assessment …
A Hierarchical Architectural Framework For Securing Unmanned Aerial Systems, Matthew Leccadito
A Hierarchical Architectural Framework For Securing Unmanned Aerial Systems, Matthew Leccadito
Theses and Dissertations
Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) are becoming more widely used in the new era of evolving technology; increasing performance while decreasing size, weight, and cost. A UAS equipped with a Flight Control System (FCS) that can be used to fly semi- or fully-autonomous is a prime example of a Cyber Physical and Safety Critical system. Current Cyber-Physical defenses against malicious attacks are structured around security standards for best practices involving the development of protocols and the digital software implementation. Thus far, few attempts have been made to embed security into the architecture of the system considering security as a holistic problem. …
