The advancement in Information and Communications Technology (ICT) has changed the entire paradigm of computing. Because of such advancement, we have new types of computing and communication environments, for example, Internet of Things (IoT) that is a collection of smart IoT devices. The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is a specific type of IoT communication environment which deals with communication through the smart healthcare (medical) devices. Though IoT communication environment facilitates and supports our day-to-day activities, but at the same time it has also certain drawbacks as it suffers from several security and privacy issues, such as replay, man-in-the-middle, impersonation, …


Trends In Phishing Attacks: Suggestions For Future Research, Ryan M. Schuetzler Jan 2019

Trends In Phishing Attacks: Suggestions For Future Research, Ryan M. Schuetzler

Ryan Schuetzler

Deception in computer-mediated communication is a widespread phenomenon. Cyber criminals are exploiting technological mediums to communicate with potential targets as these channels reduce both the deception cues and the risk of detection itself. A prevalent deception-based attack in computer-mediated communication is phishing. Prior phishing research has addressed the “bait” and “hook” components of phishing attacks, the human-computer interaction that takes place as users judge the veracity of phishing emails and websites, and the development of technologies that can aid users in identifying and rejecting these attacks. Despite the extant research on this topic, phishing attacks continue to be successful as …


An Empirical Study On Deterministic Collusive Attack Using Inter Component Communication In Android Applications, Tanzeer Hossain Jan 2019

An Empirical Study On Deterministic Collusive Attack Using Inter Component Communication In Android Applications, Tanzeer Hossain

Wayne State University Theses

Security threats using intent based inter component communication (ICC) channels in Android are under constant scrutiny of software engineering researchers. Though prior research provides empirical evidence on the existence of collusive communication channels in popular android apps, little is known about developers’willful involvement and motivation to exploit these channels.To shed light on this matter, in this paper we devised a novel methodology to deterministically identify developers’ involvement in establishing collusive inter app communication channels. We incorporate static analysis and relational database technology to discover sensitive collusive channels and domain knowledge of the Android SDK to build a model to identify …


Analyzing Small Businesses' Adoption Of Big Data Security Analytics, Henry Mathias Jan 2019

Analyzing Small Businesses' Adoption Of Big Data Security Analytics, Henry Mathias

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Despite the increased cost of data breaches due to advanced, persistent threats from malicious sources, the adoption of big data security analytics among U.S. small businesses has been slow. Anchored in a diffusion of innovation theory, the purpose of this correlational study was to examine ways to increase the adoption of big data security analytics among small businesses in the United States by examining the relationship between small business leaders' perceptions of big data security analytics and their adoption. The research questions were developed to determine how to increase the adoption of big data security analytics, which can be measured …
