Evaluating Information Assurance Control Effectiveness On An Air Force Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (Scada) System, Jason R. Nielsen
Theses and Dissertations
Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems are increasingly being connected to corporate networks which has dramatically expanded their attack surface to remote cyber attack. Adversaries are targeting these systems with increasing frequency and sophistication. This thesis seeks to answer the research question addressing which Information Assurance (IA) controls are most significant for network defenders and SCADA system managers/operators to focus on in order to increase the security of critical infrastructure systems against a Stuxnet-like cyber attack. This research applies the National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST) IA controls to an attack tree modeled on a remote Stuxnet-like cyber …
Defensive Cyber Battle Damage Assessment Through Attack Methodology Modeling, Ryan T. Ostler
Defensive Cyber Battle Damage Assessment Through Attack Methodology Modeling, Ryan T. Ostler
Theses and Dissertations
Due to the growing sophisticated capabilities of advanced persistent cyber threats, it is necessary to understand and accurately assess cyber attack damage to digital assets. This thesis proposes a Defensive Cyber Battle Damage Assessment (DCBDA) process which utilizes the comprehensive understanding of all possible cyber attack methodologies captured in a Cyber Attack Methodology Exhaustive List (CAMEL). This research proposes CAMEL to provide detailed knowledge of cyber attack actions, methods, capabilities, forensic evidence and evidence collection methods. This product is modeled as an attack tree called the Cyber Attack Methodology Attack Tree (CAMAT). The proposed DCBDA process uses CAMAT to analyze …
Software And Critical Technology Protection Against Side Channel Analysis Through Dynamic Hardware Obfuscation, John R. Bochert
Software And Critical Technology Protection Against Side Channel Analysis Through Dynamic Hardware Obfuscation, John R. Bochert
Theses and Dissertations
Side Channel Analysis (SCA) is a method by which an adversary can gather information about a processor by examining the activity being done on a microchip though the environment surrounding the chip. Side Channel Analysis attacks use SCA to attack a microcontroller when it is processing cryptographic code, and can allow an attacker to gain secret information, like a crypto-algorithm's key. The purpose of this thesis is to test proposed dynamic hardware methods to increase the hardware security of a microprocessor such that the software code being run on the microprocessor can be made more secure without having to change …
Measuring The Utility Of A Cyber Incident Mission Impact Assessment (Cimia) Process For Mission Assurance, Christy L. Peterson
Measuring The Utility Of A Cyber Incident Mission Impact Assessment (Cimia) Process For Mission Assurance, Christy L. Peterson
Theses and Dissertations
Information is a critical asset on which virtually all modern organizations depend upon to meet their operational mission objectives. Military organizations, in particular, have embedded Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) into their core mission processes as a means to increase their operational efficiency, exploit automation, improve decision quality, and shorten the kill chain. However, the extreme dependence upon ICT results in an environment where a cyber incident can result in severe mission degradation, or possibly failure, with catastrophic consequences to life, limb, and property. These consequences can be minimized by maintaining real-time situational awareness of mission critical resources so appropriate …
Certificateless Public Key Encryption: A New Generic Construction And Two Pairing-Free Schemes, Guomin Yang, Chik How Tan
Certificateless Public Key Encryption: A New Generic Construction And Two Pairing-Free Schemes, Guomin Yang, Chik How Tan
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
The certificateless encryption (CLE) scheme proposed by Baek, Safavi-Naini and Susilo is computation-friendly since it does not require any pairing operation. Unfortunately, an error was later discovered in their security proof and so far the provable security of the scheme remains unknown. Recently, Fiore, Gennaro and Smart showed a generic way (referred to as the FGS transformation) to transform identity-based key agreement protocols to certificateless key encapsulation mechanisms (CL-KEMs). As a typical example, they showed that the pairing-free CL-KEM underlying Baek et al.’s CLE can be “generated” by applying their transformation to the Fiore–Gennaro (FG) identity-based key agreement (IB-KA) protocol.In …
Strongly Secure Certificateless Key Exchange Without Pairing, Guomin Yang, Chik How Tan
Strongly Secure Certificateless Key Exchange Without Pairing, Guomin Yang, Chik How Tan
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
In certificateless cryptography, a user secret key is derived from two partial secrets: one is the identity-based secret key (corresponding to the user identity) generated by a Key Generation Center (KGC), and the other is the user selfgenerated secret key (corresponding to a user self-generated and uncertified public key). Two types of adversaries are considered for certificateless cryptography: a Type-I adversary who can replace the user self-generated public key (in transmission or in a public directory), and a Type-II adversary who is an honest-but-curious KGC. In this paper, we present a formal study on certificateless key exchange (CLKE). We show …
Authenticated Key Exchange Under Bad Randomness, Guomin Yang, Shanshan Duan, Duncan S. Wong, Chik How Tan, Huaxiong Wang
Authenticated Key Exchange Under Bad Randomness, Guomin Yang, Shanshan Duan, Duncan S. Wong, Chik How Tan, Huaxiong Wang
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
We initiate the formal study on authenticated key exchange (AKE) under bad randomness. This could happen when (1) an adversary compromises the randomness source and hence directly controls the randomness of each AKE session; and (2) the randomness repeats in different AKE sessions due to reset attacks. We construct two formal security models, Reset-1 and Reset-2, to capture these two bad randomness situations respectively, and investigate the security of some widely used AKE protocols in these models by showing that they become insecure when the adversary is able to manipulate the randomness. On the positive side, we propose simple but …
Chameleon All-But-One Tdfs And Their Application To Chosen-Ciphertext Security, Junzuo Lai, Robert H. Deng, Shengli Liu
Chameleon All-But-One Tdfs And Their Application To Chosen-Ciphertext Security, Junzuo Lai, Robert H. Deng, Shengli Liu
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
In STOC’08, Peikert and Waters introduced a new powerful primitive called lossy trapdoor functions (LTDFs) and a richer abstraction called all-but-one trapdoor functions (ABO-TDFs). They also presented a black-box construction of CCA-secure PKE from an LTDF and an ABO-TDF. An important component of their construction is the use of a strongly unforgeable one-time signature scheme for CCA-security.In this paper, we introduce the notion of chameleon ABO-TDFs, which is a special kind of ABO-TDFs. We give a generic as well as a concrete construction of chameleon ABO-TDFs. Based on an LTDF and a chameleon ABO-TDF, we presented a black-box construction, free …
Secure Mobile Subscription Of Sensor-Encrypted Data, Cheng-Kang Chu, Wen-Tao Zhu, Sherman S. M. Chow, Jianying Zhou, Robert H. Deng
Secure Mobile Subscription Of Sensor-Encrypted Data, Cheng-Kang Chu, Wen-Tao Zhu, Sherman S. M. Chow, Jianying Zhou, Robert H. Deng
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
In an end-to-end encryption model for a wireless sensor network (WSN), the network control center preloads encryption and decryption keys to the sensor nodes and the subscribers respectively, such that a subscriber can use a mobile device in the deployment field to decrypt the sensed data encrypted by the more resource-constrained sensor nodes. This paper proposes SMS-SED, a provably secure yet practically efficient key assignment system featuring a discrete time-based access control, to better support a business model where the sensors deployer rents the WSN to customers who desires a higher flexibility beyond subscribing to strictly consecutive periods. In SMS-SED, …
Cryptanalysis Of A Certificateless Signcryption Scheme In The Standard Model, Jian Weng, Guoxiang Yao, Robert H. Deng, Min-Rong Chen, Xianxue Li
Cryptanalysis Of A Certificateless Signcryption Scheme In The Standard Model, Jian Weng, Guoxiang Yao, Robert H. Deng, Min-Rong Chen, Xianxue Li
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Certificateless signcryption is a useful primitive which simultaneously provides the functionalities of certificateless encryption and certificateless signature. Recently, Liu et al. [15] proposed a new certificateless signcryption scheme, and claimed that their scheme is provably secure without random oracles in a strengthened security model, where the malicious-but-passive KGC attack is considered. Unfortunately, by giving concrete attacks, we indicate that Liu et al. certificateless signcryption scheme is not secure in this strengthened security model.
Fraud Detection In Online Consumer Reviews, Nan Hu, Ling Liu, Vallabh Sambamurthy
Fraud Detection In Online Consumer Reviews, Nan Hu, Ling Liu, Vallabh Sambamurthy
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Increasingly, consumers depend on social information channels, such as user-posted online reviews, to make purchase decisions. These reviews are assumed to be unbiased reflections of other consumers' experiences with the products or services. While extensively assumed, the literature has not tested the existence or non-existence of review manipulation. By using data from Amazon and Barnes & Noble, our study investigates if vendors, publishers, and writers consistently manipulate online consumer reviews. We document the existence of online review manipulation and show that the manipulation strategy of firms seems to be a monotonically decreasing function of the product's true quality or the …

Database Access Pattern Protection Without Full-Shuffles, Xuhua Ding, Yanjiang Yang, Robert H. Deng
Database Access Pattern Protection Without Full-Shuffles, Xuhua Ding, Yanjiang Yang, Robert H. Deng
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Privacy protection is one of the fundamental security requirements for database outsourcing. A major threat is information leakage from database access patterns generated by query executions. The standard private information retrieval (PIR) schemes, which are widely regarded as theoretical solutions, entail O(n) computational overhead per query for a database with items. Recent works propose to protect access patterns by introducing a trusted component with constant storage size. The resulting privacy assurance is as strong as PIR, though with O(1) online computation cost, they still have O(n) amortized cost per query due to periodically full database shuffles. In this paper, we …
An Agile It Security Model For Project Risk Assessment, Damien Hutchinson, Heath Maddern, Jason Wells
An Agile It Security Model For Project Risk Assessment, Damien Hutchinson, Heath Maddern, Jason Wells
Australian Information Security Management Conference
There are two fundamental challenges in effectively performing security risk assessment in today's IT projects. The first is the project manager's need to know what IT security risks face the project before the project begins. At this stage IT security staff are unable to answer this question without first knowing the system requirements for the project which are yet to be defined. Second organisations that deal with a large project throughput each year find the current IT security risk assessment process to be tedious and expensive, especially when the same process has to be repeated for each individual project. This …

Insecurity By Obscurity Continues: Are Adsl Router Manuals Putting End-Users At Risk, Kim Andersson, Patryk Szewczyk
Insecurity By Obscurity Continues: Are Adsl Router Manuals Putting End-Users At Risk, Kim Andersson, Patryk Szewczyk
Australian Information Security Management Conference
The quantity and sophistication of threats targeting ADSL routers is on a steady increase. There is a reliance on end-users to ensure that their ADSL router is secure by continually updating the firmware, using strong authentication credentials, and enabling the in-built firewall. However, to do this, the end-user must be presented with well written procedural instructions, and an explanation of why this is important. This paper examines the design quality and security content provided by vendors in ADSL router manuals. This paper reveals that the lack of security related content and poor overall design could impact on end-users’ interpretation and …
Judges' Awareness, Understanding, And Application Of Digital Evidence, Gary C. Kessler
Judges' Awareness, Understanding, And Application Of Digital Evidence, Gary C. Kessler
Security Studies & International Affairs - Daytona Beach
"As digital evidence grows in both volume and importance in criminal and civil courts, judges need to fairly and justly evaluate the merits of the offered evidence. To do so, judges need a general understanding of the underlying technologies and applications from which digital evidence is derived. Due to the relative newness of the computer forensics field, there have been few studies on the use of digital forensic evidence and none about judges’ relationship with digital evidence. This paper describes a recent study, using grounded theory methods, into judges’ awareness, knowledge, and perceptions of digital evidence. This study is the …

Digital forensic practitioners are faced with an extraordinary opportunity. In fact, we may never again be faced with such an opportunity, and this opportunity will challenge us in ways we may never again be challenged. At this point in the history of the Digital Forensics profession, digital forensic specialists have the unique opportunity to help this profession emerge from its infancy. But for this profession to mature -- and to flourish -- individuals and organizations integral to the practice must assemble and shape its future. This is our opportunity. In fact, this is our mandate.

Technology Corner: Analysing E-Mail Headers For Forensic Investigation, M. T. Banday
Journal of Digital Forensics, Security and Law
Electronic Mail (E-Mail), which is one of the most widely used applications of Internet, has become a global communication infrastructure service. However, security loopholes in it enable cybercriminals to misuse it by forging its headers or by sending it anonymously for illegitimate purposes, leading to e-mail forgeries. E-mail messages include transit handling envelope and trace information in the form of structured fields which are not stripped after messages are delivered, leaving a detailed record of e-mail transactions. A detailed header analysis can be used to map the networks traversed by messages, including information on the messaging software and patching policies …

Cat Detect (Computer Activity Timeline Detection): A Tool For Detecting Inconsistency In Computer Activity Timelines, Andrew Marrington, Ibrahim Baggili, George Mohay, Andrew Clark
Cat Detect (Computer Activity Timeline Detection): A Tool For Detecting Inconsistency In Computer Activity Timelines, Andrew Marrington, Ibrahim Baggili, George Mohay, Andrew Clark
Electrical & Computer Engineering and Computer Science Faculty Publications
The construction of timelines of computer activity is a part of many digital investigations. These timelines of events are composed of traces of historical activity drawn from system logs and potentially from evidence of events found in the computer file system. A potential problem with the use of such information is that some of it may be inconsistent and contradictory thus compromising its value. This work introduces a software tool (CAT Detect) for the detection of inconsistency within timelines of computer activity. We examine the impact of deliberate tampering through experiments conducted with our prototype software tool. Based on the …
Penetration Of Zigbee-Based Wireless Sensor Networks, Michael N. Johnstone, Jeremy A. Jarvis
Penetration Of Zigbee-Based Wireless Sensor Networks, Michael N. Johnstone, Jeremy A. Jarvis
Australian Information Warfare and Security Conference
Wireless Sensor Networks are becoming popular as a simple means of collecting data by public utilities, motor vehicle manufacturers and other organisations. Unfortunately the devices on such networks are often insecure by default, which presents problems in terms of the integrity of the data provided across those networks. This paper explores a range of attacks that were successful on a network consisting of nodes using the ZigBee protocol stack and proposes defences that can be put in place to circumvent these attacks thus leading to more secure systems and increasing user confidence.
A Proposal For Utilising Active Jamming For The Defence Of Rfid Systems Against Attack, Christopher Bolan
A Proposal For Utilising Active Jamming For The Defence Of Rfid Systems Against Attack, Christopher Bolan
Australian Information Security Management Conference
With a range of documented attacks against RFID systems a majority of the current literature is focused on the encryption of the communication. This paper addresses such attacks by proposing alternative means of protection through utilising some of the same methods that may be used to attack these systems. The proposed methods would allow for increased security within a range of RFID applications whilst still allowing for normal operations compliant with the relevant standards.

Australian Information Security Management Conference
This study collected data in 2008 and 2011 in relation to the level of apparent security of wireless network access points in the Perth CBD. It also compared this data to a comparable study conducted in 2004. The aim was to determine whether businesses were using an appropriate level of encryption to protect their wireless networks. A pre-determined route was followed which traced the Perth CBD and the open source wireless network auditing tool Kismet was used to survey the wireless networks. In 2008, approximately 1300 access points were discovered in the Perth CBD, this number climbing to approximately 3400 …
Modelling Misuse Cases As A Means Of Capturing Security Requirements, Michael N. Johnstone
Modelling Misuse Cases As A Means Of Capturing Security Requirements, Michael N. Johnstone
Australian Information Security Management Conference
Use cases as part of requirements engineering are often seen as an essential part of systems development in many methodologies. Given that modern, security-oriented software development methods such as SDL , SQUARE and CLASP place security at the forefront of product initiation, design and implementation, the focus of requirements elicitation must now move to capturing security requirements so as not to replicate past errors. Misuse cases can be an effective tool to model security requirements. This paper uses a case study to investigate the generation of successful misuse cases by employing the STRIDE framework as used in the SDL.
Australian Primary Care Health Check: Who Is Accountable For Information Security?, Rachel J. Mahncke, Patricia A H Williams
Australian Primary Care Health Check: Who Is Accountable For Information Security?, Rachel J. Mahncke, Patricia A H Williams
Australian Information Security Management Conference
Primary healthcare in Australia is vulnerable to a multitude of information security threats and insecure practices. This situation is increasingly important in the developing e-health environment. Information security is everyone’s responsibility and it is extensively documented in international standards and best practice frameworks, that this responsibility should be part of formal job descriptions. This necessitates incorporation of security at a functional level for all staff. These responsibilities are integral to demonstrable accountability, together with an authority to take action. Indeed, whilst senior management will ultimately be held accountable, staff need to be aware of the potential issues, given the responsibility …
