Security Assessment in Vehicular Networks
by Suguo Du Haojin ZhuThis book presents several novel approaches to model the interaction between the attacker and the defender and assess the security of Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs). The first security assessment approach is based on the attack tree security assessment model, which leverages tree based methods to analyze the risk of the system and identify the possible attacking strategies the adversaries may launch. To further capture the interaction between the attacker and the defender, the authors propose to utilize the attack-defense tree model to express the potential countermeasures which could mitigate the system. By considering rational participants that aim to maximize their payoff function, the brief describes a game-theoretic analysis approach to investigate the possible strategies that the security administrator and the attacker could adopt. A phased attack-defense game allows the reader to model the interactions between the attacker and defender for VANET security assessment. The brief offers a variety of methods for assessing the security of wireless networks. Professionals and researchers working on the defense of VANETs will find this material valuable.
Security by Design: Innovative Perspectives on Complex Problems (Advanced Sciences and Technologies for Security Applications)
by Anthony J. MasysThis edited book captures salient global security challenges and presents ‘design’ solutions in dealing with wicked problems. Through case studies and applied research this book reveals the many perspectives, tools and approaches to support security design. Security design thereby can support risk and threat analysis, risk communication, problem framing and development of interventions strategies. From the refugee crisis to economic slowdowns in emerging markets, from ever-rising numbers of terrorist and cyberattacks to global water shortages, to the proliferation of the Internet of Things and its impact on the security of our homes, cities and critical infrastructure, the current security landscape is diverse and complex. These global risks have been in the headlines in the last year (Global Risks Report) and pose significant security challenges both nationally and globally. In fact, national security is no longer just national. Non-state actors, cyber NGO, rising powers, and hybrid wars and crimes in strategic areas pose complex challenges to global security. In the words of Horst Rittel (1968):"Design is an activity, which aims at the production of a plan, which plan -if implemented- is intended to bring about a situation with specific desired characteristics without creating unforeseen and undesired side and after effects."

Without proper security measures, this information could be compromised, leading to serious privacy breaches, financial fraud, and even physical harm to patients.
Security in an Interconnected World: A Strategic Vision for Defence Policy (Research for Policy)
by Huub Dijstelbloem Ernst Hirsch Ballin Peter De GoedeThis open access book follows the idea that security policy must be based on strategic analysis. Defence policy and the role of the armed forces can subsequently be determined on the grounds of said analysis. More than ever, internal and external security, and developments both in the Netherlands and abroad are interconnected. The world order is shifting, the cooperation within NATO and the EU is under pressure and the Dutch armed forces are gasping for breath. What is the task of Dutch security and the defence policy? There have been growing calls in the last few years to end the devastating cuts in the defence budget and to invest more in security. The acute threats and conflicts in which the Netherlands are involved have served as a wake-up call. The shooting down of Flight MH17 over Ukraine, the streams of refugees from Syria and other countries, the conflict with Da’esh in Syria and Iraq, and terrorist threats reveal how events in many of the world’s flash-points have a direct or indirect impact on the Netherlands. Conflicts in other countries have a spill-over effect in The Netherlands. This is illustrated by tensions between population groups and the clashes over the Gülen schools after the failed putsch in Turkey on 15 July 2016 and over the constitutional referendum in that country. How do we ensure that any additional funds are not divided amongst the branches of the armed forces without any sense of strategic direction? What should a future-proof security policy that plots the course of defence policy entail? What strategic analyses should lie behind the political choices that are made? This book answers these questions and offers a comprehensive framework addressing among other things human security, national security and flow security.

Security in Embedded Devices
by Catherine H. GebotysAlthough security is prevalent in PCs, wireless communications and other systems today, it is expected to become increasingly important and widespread in many embedded devices. For some time, typical embedded system designers have been dealing with tremendous challenges in performance, power, price and reliability. However now they must additionally deal with definition of security requirements, security design and implementation. Given the limited number of security engineers in the market, large background of cryptography with which these standards are based upon, and difficulty of ensuring the implementation will also be secure from attacks, security design remains a challenge. This book provides the foundations for understanding embedded security design, outlining various aspects of security in devices ranging from typical wireless devices such as PDAs through to contactless smartcards to satellites.
Security in IoT: The Changing Perspective
by Rituparna Chaki Debdutta Barman RoyThe diverse applications of IoT are achieved by a set of complex inter-related networks of things and communications. IoT applications are also concerned about an array of devices such as sensors, mobile devices, personal computers, the smart systems such as Alexa, Eco, etc, besides the whole range of communication network binding them together in a seamless manner. This book explores the variegated perspectives of security in the complex context of Internet of Things. It also aims to present the changing face of security, from the ubiquitous networks comprising of WSN as the lowest layer, to the enabler apps working as bridge between the users and the complex IoT system. It takes a closer look at the different types of security schemes required to fit in the heterogeneous nature of IoT network., whilst the readers are also introduced to basic attacks targeting an IoT network, as well as specific types of security schemes worked out by researchers across different countries. As Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) play a fundamental role in Industrial Control Systems, since they provide various functionalities of physical tools by collecting data from input devices and sending commands to output devices, this book includes a discussion on the security considerations of extending a PLC-based system with IoT capabilities. Other advanced topics include: The machine ethics aspects in the IoT system; the Intrusion detection of WSN; and the methods of securing the user from privacy breaches due to the overprivileged IoT apps. This book will be beneficial to any readers interested in security of IoT systems and how to develop a layer-wise security scheme for such a system.

Security in Network Coding
by Peng Zhang Chuang LinThis book covers a series of security and privacy issues in network coding, and introduces three concrete mechanisms to address them. These mechanisms leverage traditional cryptographic primitives and anonymous protocols, and are redesigned to fit into the new framework of network coding. These three mechanisms are MacSig, a new message authentication method for network-coded systems; P-Coding, a new encryption scheme to secure network-coding-based transmissions; and ANOC, a new anonymous routing protocol that seamlessly integrates anonymous routing with network coding. Along with these three mechanisms, the authors provide a review of network coding's benefits, applications, and security problems. Also included is a detailed overview of security issues in the field, with an explanation of how the security issues differ from those in traditional settings. While network coding can help improve network performance, the adoption of network coding can be greatly limited unless security and privacy threats are addressed. Designed for researchers and professionals, Security in Network Coding explores major challenges in network coding and offers practical solutions. Advanced-level students studying networking or system security will also find the content valuable.
