Blackboard-Based Electronic Warfare System, Jeremy Straub Oct 2015

Blackboard-Based Electronic Warfare System, Jeremy Straub

Jeremy Straub

With internet-connected, SCADA and cyber-physical systems becoming the next battlefield for crime and warfare, technologies for defending and attacking these systems are growing in prevalence. For entities with significant asset collections that are prospectively vulnerable to this type of an attack, autonomous response, retaliation and attack capabilities are necessary to respond to a growing threat from numerous sectors. This paper presents a command and control technique for cyberwarfare based on the Blackboard Architecture. It discusses the utility of this approach and proposes a distributed command system that can run across multiple nodes of various types.

Privacy Protection Framework With Defined Policies For Service-Oriented Architecture, David Allison, Miriam A M Capretz, Hany Elyamany, Shuying Wang

Miriam A M Capretz

Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a computer systems design concept which aims to achieve reusability and inte-gration in a distributed environment through the use of autonomous, loosely coupled, interoperable abstractions known as services. In order to interoperate, communication between services is very important due to their autonomous nature. This communication provides services with their functional strengths, but also creates the opportunity for the loss of privacy. In this paper, a Privacy Protection Framework for Service-Oriented Architecture (PPFSOA) is described. In this framework, a Privacy Service (PS) is used in combination with privacy policies to create privacy contracts that out-line what can …
