Development And Evaluation Of A Security Agent For Internet Of Things, Youngjun Park
Development And Evaluation Of A Security Agent For Internet Of Things, Youngjun Park
Theses and Dissertations
The proposed security agent, Internet of Things Active Management Unit (IoTAMU), provides confidentiality of IoT networks via the following capabilities: (1) authentication, (2) firewall, (3) encryption, and (4) spoofing. To test the spoofer's effect, an Identical Device Model Classifier (IDMC) is developed, which measures the similarities of the observed network signatures of each pair of devices, and recognize identical model devices. The IDMC performs well in baseline network settings without the spoofer, achieving 100% precision, recall, and specificity at high threshold (SS>0.9). When the spoofer is enabled, none of the identical pairs are identified at high threshold, and up …
Cyber Risk Assessment And Scoring Model For Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, Dillon M. Pettit
Cyber Risk Assessment And Scoring Model For Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, Dillon M. Pettit
Theses and Dissertations
The commercial-off-the-shelf small Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) market is expanding rapidly in response to interest from hobbyists, commercial businesses, and military operators. The core commercial mission set directly relates to many current military requirements and strategies, with a priority on short range, low cost, real time aerial imaging, and limited modular payloads. These small vehicles present small radar cross sections, low heat signatures, and carry a variety of sensors and payloads. As with many new technologies, security seems secondary to the goal of reaching the market as soon as innovation is viable. Research indicates a growth in exploits and vulnerabilities …
Interoperable Ads-B Confidentiality, Brandon C. Burfeind
Interoperable Ads-B Confidentiality, Brandon C. Burfeind
Theses and Dissertations
The worldwide air traffic infrastructure is in the late stages of transition from legacy transponder systems to Automatic Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast (ADS-B) based systems. ADS-B relies on position information from GNSS and requires aircraft to transmit their identification, state, and position. ADS-B promises the availability of high-fidelity air traffic information; however, position and identification data are not secured via authentication or encryption. This lack of security for ADS-B allows non-participants to observe and collect data on both government and private flight activity. This is a proposal for a lightweight, interoperable ADS-B confidentiality protocol which uses existing format preserving encryption …
