Australian Critical Infrastructure Protection: A Case Of Two Tales, Matthew Warren, Graeme Pye, William Hutchinson Nov 2010

Australian Critical Infrastructure Protection: A Case Of Two Tales, Matthew Warren, Graeme Pye, William Hutchinson

Australian Information Warfare and Security Conference

The protection of critical infrastructures and the choices made in terms of priorities and cost, all impact upon the planning, precautions and security aspects of protecting these important systems. Often the when choices made is difficult to assess at the time the decision is taken and it is only after an incident that the truth of the choices made become fully evident. The paper focuses on two recent examples of Australian Critical Infrastructure protection and the issues that related to those examples.


Influence Operations: Action And Attitude, William Hutchinson Nov 2010

Influence Operations: Action And Attitude, William Hutchinson

Australian Information Warfare and Security Conference

This paper investigates the relationships between attitudes, behaviour and influence. The major objective of influence operations is predominantly to exert soft power and in doing this there is an assumption that it will change attitudes. It is assumed that by changing attitudes favourable to the influencer that behaviours will be changed. However, this is a problematic assumption. Influence operations whose messages seem to contradict the real behaviour of the influencer tends to nullify the message; and, in fact, might reinforce the attitudes and behaviours of the foe and begin to alienate friends. Messages should be based on a credible reality; …


Threat Modelling With Stride And Uml, Michael N. Johnstone Nov 2010

Threat Modelling With Stride And Uml, Michael N. Johnstone

Australian Information Security Management Conference

Threat modelling as part of risk analysis is seen as an essential part of secure systems development. Microsoft’s Security Development Lifecycle (SDL) is a well-known software development method that places security at the forefront of product initiation, design and implementation. As part of SDL, threat modelling produces data flow diagrams (DFDs) as key artefacts and uses those diagrams as mappings with STRIDE to identify threats. This paper uses a standard case study to illustrate the effects of using an alternative process model (UML activity diagrams) with STRIDE and suggests that using a more modern process diagram can generate a more …

Micro-Blogging In The Workplace, Chia Yao Lee, Matthew Warren Nov 2010

Micro-Blogging In The Workplace, Chia Yao Lee, Matthew Warren

Australian Information Security Management Conference

Micro-blogging services such as Twitter, Yammer, Plurk and Google Buzz have generated substantial interest among members of the business community in recent years. Many CEOs, managers and front-line employees have embraced micro-blogs as a tool for interacting with colleagues, employees, customers, suppliers and investors. Micro-blogs are considered a more informal channel than emails and official websites, and thus present a different set of challenges to businesses. As a positional paper, this paper uses a case study of a bogus Twitter account to emphasise security and ethical issues relating to (i) Trust, Accuracy and Authenticity of Information, (ii) Privacy and Confidentiality, …


A Novel Design And Implementation Of Dos-Resistant Authentication And Seamless Handoff Scheme For Enterprise Wlans, Isaac Lee, Ray Hunt Nov 2010

A Novel Design And Implementation Of Dos-Resistant Authentication And Seamless Handoff Scheme For Enterprise Wlans, Isaac Lee, Ray Hunt

Australian Information Security Management Conference

With the advance of wireless access technologies, the IEEE 802.11 wireless local area network (WLAN) has gained significant increase in popularity and deployment due to the substantially improved transmission rate and decreased deployment costs. However, this same widespread deployment makes WLANs an attractive target for network attacks. Several vulnerabilities have been identified and reported regarding the security of the current 802.11 standards. To address those security weaknesses, IEEE standard committees proposed the 802.11i amendment to enhance WLAN security. The 802.11i standard has demonstrated the capability of providing satisfactory mutual authentication, better data confidentiality, and key management support, however, the design …


An Information Security Governance Framework For Australian Primary Care Health Providers, Donald C. Mcdermid, Rachel J. Mahncke, Patricia A H Williams Nov 2010

An Information Security Governance Framework For Australian Primary Care Health Providers, Donald C. Mcdermid, Rachel J. Mahncke, Patricia A H Williams

Australian Information Security Management Conference

The competitive nature of business and society means that the protection of information, and governance of the information security function, is increasingly important. This paper introduces the notion of a governance framework for information security for health providers. It refines the idea of an IT Balanced Scorecard into a scorecard process for use in governing information security for primary care health providers, where IT and security skills may be limited. The approach amends and justifies the four main elements of the scorecard process. The existence of a governance framework specifically tailored for the needs of primary care practice is a …


Information Leakage Through Online Social Networking: Opening The Doorway For Advanced Persistence Threats, Nurul Nuha Abdul Molok, Shanton Chang, Atif Ahmad Nov 2010

Information Leakage Through Online Social Networking: Opening The Doorway For Advanced Persistence Threats, Nurul Nuha Abdul Molok, Shanton Chang, Atif Ahmad

Australian Information Security Management Conference

The explosion of online social networking (OSN) in recent years has caused damages to organisations due to leakage of information by their employees. Employees’ social networking behaviour, whether accidental or intentional, provides an opportunity for advanced persistent threats (APT) attackers to realise their social engineering techniques and undetectable zero-day exploits. APT attackers use a spear-phishing method that targeted on key employees of victim organisations through social media in order to conduct reconnaissance and theft of confidential proprietary information. This conceptual paper posits OSN as the most challenging channel of information leakage and provides an explanation about the underlying factors of …

Racial, Ethnic, And Socioeconomic Disparities In Exposure To Fast Food In Hillsborough County, Florida, Dana Oppenheim Stein, Jayajit Chakraborty Nov 2010

Racial, Ethnic, And Socioeconomic Disparities In Exposure To Fast Food In Hillsborough County, Florida, Dana Oppenheim Stein, Jayajit Chakraborty

Florida Public Health Review

Recent studies have linked the alarming obesity epidemic in the U.S. to the growth of the fast-food restaurant industry, which offers convenient service alongside inexpensive and high-calorie food. As the number of fast-food outlets increases, research demonstrates that their geographic location plays a significant role in creating obesogenic environments, potentially exposing socially disadvantaged groups to unhealthy nutrition choices provided by these outlets. Whereas previous studies have examined the distribution of positive health amenities such as supermarkets and health-food stores, there is a growing need to evaluate the socio-demographic characteristics of neighborhoods that contain negative health entities such as fast-food outlets. …


Fibronectin For Use In Hemostats And Wound Stabilization In Trauma, Mohammed Halhouli Nov 2010

Fibronectin For Use In Hemostats And Wound Stabilization In Trauma, Mohammed Halhouli

Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

Exploring the phase during wound healing when fibrinogen (FBG) and fibronectin (FN) interact forming a small thin layer for cells to migrate and proliferate at the injury site is necessary for the primary building blocks and initial stages of skin recovery. The aim of this thesis is to illustrate that administrating a reasonable amount of (FN) and FBG, in a semi-organizational technique, to the wound site will encourage cell population and ECM formation, as well as, improve the wound healing process. WE hypothesized that FBG and FN interactions will configure the construction of dermal cells and their final fate to …

Excision Dynamics Of Vibrio Pathogenicity Island-2 From Vibrio Cholerae: Role Of A Recombination Directionality Factor Vefa, Salvador Almagro-Moreno, Michael G. Napolitano, E. Fidelma Boyd Nov 2010

Excision Dynamics Of Vibrio Pathogenicity Island-2 From Vibrio Cholerae: Role Of A Recombination Directionality Factor Vefa, Salvador Almagro-Moreno, Michael G. Napolitano, E. Fidelma Boyd

Dartmouth Scholarship

Vibrio Pathogenicity Island-2 (VPI-2) is a 57 kb region present in choleragenic V. cholerae isolates that is required for growth on sialic acid as a sole carbon source. V. cholerae non-O1/O139 pathogenic strains also contain VPI-2, which in addition to sialic acid catabolism genes also encodes a type 3 secretion system in these strains. VPI-2 integrates into chromosome 1 at a tRNA-serine site and encodes an integrase intV2 (VC1758) that belongs to the tyrosine recombinase family. ntV2 is required for VPI-2 excision from chromosome 1, which occurs at very low levels, and formation of a non-replicative circular intermediate.
