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 …

Commitment And The 1% Motorcycle Club: Threats To The Brotherhood, Kira J. Harris

Australian Counter Terrorism Conference

The brotherhood ethos is the founding principle of the 1% motorcycle clubs community. Interviews with former members and partners show how threatening this social bond can reduce satisfaction and lead to doubts over involvement with the club.

Boko Haram: Terrorist Organization, Freedom Fighters Or Religious Fanatics? An Analysis Of Boko Haram Within Nigeria, An Australian Perspective And The Need For Counter Terrorism Responses That Involves Prescribing Them As A Terrorist Organization., Gabrielle Blanquart

Australian Counter Terrorism Conference

The adoption of Sharia law and the creation of an Islamic government are prominent motivations for religious terrorism within the current climate. Throughout history, Nigeria has been exposed to ethno religious violence and political discontent and has recently seen an escalation in associated violence threatening its sovereignty, territorial integrity, peace and stability. This paper explores Boko Haram, a Nigerian Islamist sect, responsible for numerous attacks in northern and central Nigeria on infrastructure and people. The origins and ideological motivations of this group are examined and compared to the current wave of religious terrorism in relation to tactics, leadership and objectives. …

Al-Jihad Fi Sabilillah: In The Heart Of Green Birds, Robyn Torok

Australian Counter Terrorism Conference

With an increasing focus on lone-wolf operations, al-Qaeda is becoming increasingly focussed on its internet discourses and propaganda. One of its most significant discourses is the importance of jihad and martyrdom in carrying out a terrorist attack. This study looks at Facebook pages and profiles and examines the discourses presented in relation to jihad and martyrdom. Three important concepts including their justification are considered: Al-Jihad fi Sabilillah (just fight for the sake of Allah), Istishhad (operational heroism of loving death more than the West love life) and Shaheed (becoming a martyr). Results supported previous studies indicating the strong seductive nature …

Secure Key Deployment And Exchange Protocol For Manet Information Management, Brian Cusack, Alastair Nisbet

Australian Digital Forensics Conference

Secure Key Deployment and Exchange Protocol (SKYE) is an innovative encryption Key Management Scheme (KMS) based on a combination of features from recent protocols combined with new features for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs). The design focuses on a truly ad hoc networking environment where geographical size of the network, numbers of network members and mobility of the members is all unknown before deployment. This paper describes the process of development of the protocol and the application to system design to assure information security and potential evidential retention for forensic purposes. Threshold encryption key management is utilized and simulation results …

The 2012 Investigation Into Remnant Data On Second Hand Memory Cards Sold In Australia, Patryk Szewczyk, Krishnun Sansurooah

Australian Digital Forensics Conference

This study investigates the remnant data on memory cards that were purchased through Australian second hand auctions sites in 2012. Memory cards are increasing in capacity and are commonly used amongst many consumer orientated electronic devices including mobile phones, tablet computers, cameras and multimedia devices. This study examined 78 second hand memory cards. The investigation shows that confidential data is present on many of the memory cards and that in many instances there is no evidence to suggest that the seller attempted to erase data. In many instances the sellers are asking the buyer to erase the data on the …

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 …

Understanding The Vulnerabilities In Wi-Fi And The Impact On Its Use In Cctv Systems, Michael Coole, Andrew Woodward, Craig Valli

Australian Security and Intelligence Conference

Modern surveillance devices are increasingly being taken off private networks and placed onto networks connected via gateway to the Internet or into Wi-Fi based local area wireless networks (LAWN). The devices are also increasingly using IPv4 and IPv6 network stacks and some form of embedded processing or compute built in. Additionally, some specialist devices are using assistive technologies such as GPS or A-GPS. This paper explored the issues with use of the technologies in a networked environment, both wireless and internetworked. Analysis of these systems shows that the use of IP based CCTV systems carries greater risk than traditional CCTV …

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 …

Exterminating The Cyber Flea: Irregular Warfare Lessons For Cyber Defence, Ben Whitham

Australian Information Warfare and Security Conference

Traditional approaches to tactical Computer Network Defence (CND), drawn from the lessons and doctrine of conventional warfare, are based on a team of deployed security professionals countering the adversary’s cyber forces. The concept of the adversary in cyberspace does not fit neatly into the conventional military paradigms. Rather than fighting an identifiable foe, cyber adversaries are clandestine, indistinguishable from legitimate users or external services, operate across state boundaries, and from safe havens that provide sanctuary from prosecution. The defender also faces imbalances with rules of engagement and a severe disparity between the cost of delivering the defence and the attackers …

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

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

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 …
