In most wireless channels, the signals propagate in all directions. For the communication between Alice and Bob, an Eavesdropper can receive the signals from both Alice and Bob as far as the Eavesdropper is in the range determined by the transmitting power. Through phased array antenna with beam tracking circuits or cooperative iteration, the signals are confined near the straight line connecting the positions of Alice and Bob, so it will largely reduce the valid placement of an Eavesdropper. Sometimes, this reduction can be prohibitive for Eavesdropper to wiretap the channel since the reduced space can be readily protected. Two ...

Towards An Empirical Assessment Of Cybersecurity Readiness And Resilience In Small Businesses, Darrell Eilts, Yair Levy
KSU Proceedings on Cybersecurity Education, Research and Practice
Many small businesses struggle to improve their cybersecurity posture despite the risk to their business. Small businesses lacking adequate protection from cyber threats, or a business continuity strategy to recover from disruptions, have a very high risk of loss due to a cyberattack. These cyberattacks, either deliberate or unintentional, can become costly when a small business is not prepared. This developmental research is focused on the relationship between two constructs that are associated with readiness and resilience of small businesses based on their cybersecurity planning, implementation, as well as response activities. A Cybersecurity Preparedness-Risk Taxonomy (CyPRisT) is proposed using the ...

Work Overload And Insiders’ Risk Taking Behaviors As Threats To Cybersecurity, Forough Nasirpouri Shadbad, David Biros Dr.
KSU Proceedings on Cybersecurity Education, Research and Practice
Increasing the number of security breaches caused by humans, scholars are interested in exploring contributed factors of information security threats. There are several studies regarding security violations by malicious insiders and intentional behaviors; however, studies which focus on important factors and antecedents of human’s unintentional misbehaviors are rare. To this end, we aim to investigate human traits which lead to unintentional information security misbehaviors. Particularly, we study individual’s risk-taking behavior by applying Dual System Theory (DST). We have developed a theoretical model to find how individuals’ risk-taking behavior relates to online information security misbehaviors. Our hypothesized model consists ...

Bipartite Quantum Interactions: Entangling And Information Processing Abilities, Siddhartha Das
LSU Doctoral Dissertations
The aim of this thesis is to advance the theory behind quantum information processing tasks, by deriving fundamental limits on bipartite quantum interactions and dynamics. A bipartite quantum interaction corresponds to an underlying Hamiltonian that governs the physical transformation of a two-body open quantum system. Under such an interaction, the physical transformation of a bipartite quantum system is considered in the presence of a bath, which may be inaccessible to an observer. The goal is to determine entangling abilities of such arbitrary bipartite quantum interactions. Doing so provides fundamental limitations on information processing tasks, including entanglement distillation and secret key ...

Liboblivious: A C++ Library For Oblivious Data Structures And Algorithms, Scott D. Constable, Steve Chapin
Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Technical Reports
Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) is an enormously beneficial model for centralized data computation and storage. Yet, existing network-layer and hardware-layer security protections do not address a broad category of vulnerabilities known as side-channel attacks. Over the past several years, numerous techniques have been proposed at all layers of the software/hardware stack to prevent the inadvertent leakage of sensitive data. This report discusses a new technique which integrates seamlessly with C++ programs. We introduce a library, libOblivious, which provides thin wrappers around existing C++ standard template library classes, endowing them with the property of memory-trace obliviousness.

Journal of Digital Forensics, Security and Law
Digital media (i.e., image, audio) has played an influential role in today information system. The increasing of popularity in digital media has brought forth many technological advancements. The advancements, however, also gives birth to a number of forgeries and attacks against this type of information. With the availability of easy-to-use media manipulating tools available online, the authenticity of today digital media cannot be guaranteed. In this paper, a new general framework for enhancing today media splicing detection has been proposed. By combining results from two traditional approaches, the enhanced detection results show improvement in term of clarity in which ...

Fingerprinting Jpegs With Optimised Huffman Tables, Sean Mckeown, Gordon Russell, Petra Leimich
Journal of Digital Forensics, Security and Law
A common task in digital forensics investigations is to identify known contraband images. This is typically achieved by calculating a cryptographic digest, using hashing algorithms such as SHA256, for each image on a given medium, and comparing individual digests with a database of known contraband. However, the large capacities of modern storage media and time pressures placed on forensics examiners necessitates the development of more efficient processing methods. This work describes a technique for fingerprinting JPEGs with optimised Huffman tables which requires only the image header to be present on the media. Such fingerprints are shown to be robust across ...

As technology improves and economies become more globalized, the concept of currency has evolved. Bitcoin, a cryptographic digital currency, has been embraced as a secure and convenient type of money. Due to its security and privacy for the user, Bitcoin is a good tool for conducting criminal trades. The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) has regulations in place to make identification information of Bitcoin purchasers accessible to law enforcement, but enforcing these rules with cash-for-Bitcoin traders is difficult. This study surveyed cash-for-Bitcoin vendors in Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, and New Mexico to determine personal demographic information, knowledge of ...

Two Neural Network Based Decentralized Controller Designs For Large Scale Power Systems, Wenxin Liu, Jagannathan Sarangapani, Ganesh K. Venayagamoorthy, Donald C. Wunsch, Mariesa Crow, David A. Cartes

This paper presents two neural network (NN) based decentralized controller designs for large scale power systems' generators, one is for the excitation control and the other is for the steam valve control. Though the control signals are calculated using local signals only, the transient and overall system stabilities can be guaranteed. NNs are used to approximate the unknown and/or imprecise dynamics of the local power system and the interconnection terms, thus the requirements for exact system parameters are released. Simulation studies with a three machine power system demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed controller designs.
