The Benefits & Concerns Of Public Data Availability In Australia: A Survey Of Security Experts, Roba Abbas Jan 2007

The Benefits & Concerns Of Public Data Availability In Australia: A Survey Of Security Experts, Roba Abbas

Faculty of Informatics - Papers (Archive)

This paper gauges the attitudes of security experts in Australia with regards to public data availability on critical infrastructure protection (CIP). A qualitative survey was distributed to a individuals considered experts in CIP-related research in Australia, in order to address the censorship versus open access debate concerning public data. The intention of the study was to gain an insight into the perceived benefits and threats of public data availability by security experts, and to provide the basis for a security solution to be utilised by the Australian Government sector (at all levels). The findings however can also be applied to …

In this paper, we pursue a modelling approach to address security requirements for multi-agent systems (MAS). This will allow developers to account for both the system and agent-specific security requirements of a MAS during the requirements phase and throughout the whole Software Development Lifecycle of the system. We focus on autonomy, mobility and cooperation of individual agents and how these create additional security vulnerabilities to the system. In proposing a set of generic modelling primitives for these engendered requirements in the analysis of the MAS, we extend our recently proposed MAS metamodel.


Rfid-Based Anti-Theft Auto Security System With An Immobilizer, Geeth Jayendra, Sisil Kumarawadu, Lasantha Meegahapola Jan 2007

Rfid-Based Anti-Theft Auto Security System With An Immobilizer, Geeth Jayendra, Sisil Kumarawadu, Lasantha Meegahapola

Faculty of Informatics - Papers (Archive)

This paper presents a novel radio frequency identification (RFID) based vehicle immobilizer system, which features low hacking probability while preserving the safety of the passengers of the hijacked vehicle. The immobilizer uses the active RFID technology where the tag is generated with comparatively large character sets. The receiving unit is intelligently integrated into three control circuits in the vehicle, namely, ignition circuit, power control unit, and automatic gear changing system, enabling it to bring the vehicle speed down to zero in a safe step by step manner. The anti-theft auto security system proposed here was tested under different weather conditions …
