A Model Of Psychological Disengagement, Kira J. Harris Dec 2012

A Model Of Psychological Disengagement, Kira J. Harris

Australian Counter Terrorism Conference

This paper presents the preliminary findings of research into the disengagement from highly entitative and ideological social groups, such as one percent motorcycle clubs, military special forces and fundamental ideological groups. Using a grounded theory approach, the discourse of 25 former members identified the discrepancy between group membership and the self-concept as the core theme in the disengagement experience. This model presents the process of experiencing a threat, self-concept discrepancy and management, physical disengagement and the post-exit identity. The findings indicate a consistent experience of disengagement and allow further understanding to the factors influencing membership appraisal.

Cyberterrorism: Addressing The Challenges For Establishing An International Legal Framework, Krishna Prasad Dec 2012

Cyberterrorism: Addressing The Challenges For Establishing An International Legal Framework, Krishna Prasad

Australian Counter Terrorism Conference

The increase of international cyberterrorism in recent years has resulted in computer-based criminal activities that generate worldwide fear, destruction and disruption. National laws and policies that address cyberterrorism are mainly limited to developed nations and are not cohesive in managing 21st century cyberterrorism. Given the absence of an international legal framework to address cyberterrorism, authorities and governments around the world face extreme challenges in finding and prosecuting those responsible for cyberterrorism. This article argues for the need for a cohesive international legal framework; highlights key elements to establish an effective international legal framework; and identifies existing international treaties and cross-border …

Defence In Depth, Protection In Depth And Security In Depth: A Comparative Analysis Towards A Common Usage Language, Michael Coole, Jeff Corkill, Andrew Woodward

Australian Security and Intelligence Conference

A common language with consistency of meaning is a critical step in the evolution of a profession. Whilst the debate as to whether or not security should be considered a profession is ongoing there is no doubt that the wider community of professionals operating in the security domain are working towards achieving recognition of security as a profession. The concepts of defence in depth, protection in depth and security in depth have been used synonymously by different groups across the domain. These concepts represent the very foundation of effective security architecture are hierarchical in nature and have specific meaning. This …

The Regulation Of Space And Cyberspace: One Coin, Two Sides, Brett Biddington Dec 2012

The Regulation Of Space And Cyberspace: One Coin, Two Sides, Brett Biddington

Australian Information Warfare and Security Conference

In the 1960s, during some very tense days in the Cold War the United States of America (USA) and the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics (USSR) brokered a deal in the United Nations for a treaty regime to govern human activities in outer space. This regime has served well enough for almost 50 years. In recent years, however, fears of space weaponisation, the proliferation of space debris in the Low Earth Orbits (LEO) and increasing demands on the electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) have led to demands for regulatory reform. Some nations now consider space to be the fourth domain of modern …

An Information Security Awareness Capability Model (Isacm), Robert Poepjes, Michael Lane Dec 2012

An Information Security Awareness Capability Model (Isacm), Robert Poepjes, Michael Lane

Australian Information Security Management Conference

A lack of information security awareness within some parts of society as well as some organisations continues to exist today. Whilst we have emerged from the threats of late 1990s of viruses such as Code Red and Melissa, through to the phishing emails of the mid 2000’s and the financial damage some such as the Nigerian scam caused, we continue to react poorly to new threats such as demanding money via SMS with a promise of death to those who won’t pay. So is this lack of awareness translating into problems within the workforce? There is often a lack of …

Implementing A Secure Academic Grid System - A Malaysian Case, Mohd Samsu Sajat, Suhaidi Hassan, Adi Affandi Ahmad, Ali Yusny Daud, Amran Ahmad

Australian Information Security Management Conference

Computational grids have become very popular in the recent times due to their capabilities and flexibility in handling large computationally intensive jobs. When it comes to the implementation of practical grid systems, security plays a major role due to the confidentiality of the information handled and the nature of the resources employed. Also due to the complex nature of the grid operations, grid systems face unique security threats compared to other distributed systems. This paper describes how to implement a secure grid system with special emphasis on the steps to be followed in obtaining, implementing and testing PKI certificates.

The Cocheros Of American-Occupied Manila Representations And Persistence, Michael D. Pante Dec 2012

The Cocheros Of American-Occupied Manila Representations And Persistence, Michael D. Pante

Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints

Thisarticle discusses colonial misrepresentations of a marginalized occupational group in the American Philippines. Colonial authorities had pinned their hopes on the transformative power of motorized transportation, which they introduced in Manila. They regarded cocheros or carriage drivers as relics of a backward past that the progress of modernity would render extinct. However, the cocheros were not easily eradicated, and frustrated colonial authorities tagged them as barriers to modernity. Thisarticle analyzes this colonial discourse and offers a nuanced characterization of a voiceless yet ubiquitous group.Keywords: Urban transportation • working classes • American colonialism • modernity • imperialism

Necessary And Sufficient Informativity Conditions For Robust Network Reconstruction Using Dynamical Structure Functions, Vasu Nephi Chetty Dec 2012

Necessary And Sufficient Informativity Conditions For Robust Network Reconstruction Using Dynamical Structure Functions, Vasu Nephi Chetty

Theses and Dissertations

Dynamical structure functions were developed as a partial structure representation of linear time-invariant systems to be used in the reconstruction of biological networks. Dynamical structure functions contain more information about structure than a system's transfer function, while requiring less a priori information for reconstruction than the complete computational structure associated with the state space realization. Early sufficient conditions for network reconstruction with dynamical structure functions severely restricted the possible applications of the reconstruction process to networks where each input independently controls a measured state. The first contribution of this thesis is to extend the previously established sufficient conditions to incorporate …

Dynamic Modeling, Trajectory Generation And Tracking For Towed Cable Systems, Liang Sun Dec 2012

Dynamic Modeling, Trajectory Generation And Tracking For Towed Cable Systems, Liang Sun

Theses and Dissertations

In this dissertation, we focus on the strategy that places and stabilizes the path of an aerial drogue, which is towed by a mothership aircraft using a long flexible cable, onto a horizontally flat orbit by maneuvering the mothership in the presence of wind. To achieve this goal, several studies for towed cable systems are conducted, which include the dynamic modeling for the cable, trajectory generation strategies for the mothership, trajectory-tracking control law design, and simulation and flight test implementations. First, a discretized approximation method based on finite element and lumped mass is employed to establish the mathematical model for …

Efficient Rank-Adaptive Least-Square Estimation And Multiple-Parameter Linear Regression Using Novel Dyadically Recursive Hermitian Matrix Inversion, Hsiao Chun Wu, Shih Yu Chang, Tho Le-Ngoc, Yiyan Wu Dec 2012

Efficient Rank-Adaptive Least-Square Estimation And Multiple-Parameter Linear Regression Using Novel Dyadically Recursive Hermitian Matrix Inversion, Hsiao Chun Wu, Shih Yu Chang, Tho Le-Ngoc, Yiyan Wu

Faculty Publications

Least-square estimation (LSE) and multiple-parameter linear regression (MLR) are the important estimation techniques for engineering and science, especially in the mobile communications and signal processing applications. The majority of computational complexity incurred in LSE and MLR arises from a Hermitian matrix inversion. In practice, the Yule-Walker equations are not valid, and hence the Levinson-Durbin algorithm cannot be employed for general LSE and MLR problems. Therefore, the most efficient Hermitian matrix inversion method is based on the Cholesky factorization. In this paper, we derive a new dyadic recursion algorithm for sequential rank-adaptive Hermitian matrix inversions. In addition, we provide the theoretical …

Forensic Readiness For Wireless Medical Systems, Brian Cusack, Ar Kar Kyaw Dec 2012

Forensic Readiness For Wireless Medical Systems, Brian Cusack, Ar Kar Kyaw

Australian Digital Forensics Conference

Wireless medical devices and related information systems are vulnerable to use and abuse by unauthorized users. Medical systems are designed for a range of end users in different professional skill groups and also people who carry the devices in and on their bodies. Open, accurate and efficient communication is the priority for medical systems and as a consequence strong protection costs are traded against the utility benefits for open systems. Flexible security provisions are required and strong forensic capabilities built into the systems to treat the risk. In this paper we elaborate the problem area and discuss potential solutions to …

Applying Feature Selection To Reduce Variability In Keystroke Dynamics Data For Authentication Systems, Mark Abernethy, Shri Rai Dec 2012

Applying Feature Selection To Reduce Variability In Keystroke Dynamics Data For Authentication Systems, Mark Abernethy, Shri Rai

Australian Information Warfare and Security Conference

Authentication systems enable the verification of claimed identity. Password-based authentication systems are ubiquitous even though such systems are amenable to numerous attack vectors and are therefore responsible for a large number of security breaches. Biometrics has been increasingly researched and used as an alternative to password-based systems. There are a number of alternative biometric characteristics that can be used for authentication purposes, each with different positive and negative implementation factors. Achieving a successful authentication performance requires effective data processing. This study investigated the use of keystroke dynamics for authentication purposes. A feature selection process, based on normality statistics, was applied …
