There is a growing interest in modeling and predicting the behavior of financial systems and supply chains. In this paper, we focus on the the analysis of the resMBS supply chain; it is associated with the US residential mortgage backed securities and subprime mortgages that were critical in the 2008 US financial crisis. We develop models based on financial institutions (FI), and their participation described by their roles (Role) on financial contracts (FC). Our models are based on an intuitive assumption that FIs will form communities within an FC, and FIs within a community are more likely to collaborate with other FIs in that community, and play the same role, in another FC. Inspired by the Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) and topic models, we develop two probabilistic financial community models. In FI-Comm, each FC (document) is a mix of topics where a topic is a distribution over FIs (words). In Role-FI-Comm, each topic is a distribution over Role-FI pairs (words). Experimental results over 5000+ financial prospecti demonstrate the effectiveness of our models.

Understanding the behavior of complex financial supply chains is usually difficult due to a lack of data capturing the interactions between financial institutions (FIs) and the roles that they play in financial contracts (FCs). resMBS is an example supply chain corresponding to the US residential mortgage backed securities that were critical in the 2008 US financial crisis. In this paper, we describe the process of creating the resMBS graph dataset from financial prospectus. We use the SystemT rule-based text extraction platform to develop two tools, ORG NER and Dict NER, for named entity recognition of financial institution (FI) names. The resMBS graph comprises a set of FC nodes (each prospectus) and the corresponding FI nodes that are extracted from the prospectus. A Role-FI extractor matches a role keyword such as originator, sponsor or servicer, with FI names. We study the performance of the Role-FI extractor, and ORG NER and Dict NER, in constructing the resMBS dataset. We also present preliminary results of a clustering based analysis to identify financial communities and their evolution in the resMBS financial supply chain.

In this presentation, I describe how the SEI's Security Engineering Risk Analysis (SERA) method provides a structure that connects desired system functionality with the underlying software to evaluate the sufficiency of requirements for software security and the potential operational security risks based on mission impact.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology has been applied in many fields, such as tracking product through the supply chains, electronic passport (ePassport), proximity card, etc. Most companies will choose low-cost RFID tags. However, these RFID tags are almost no security mechanism so that criminals can easily clone these tags and get the user permissions. In this paper, we aim at more efficient detection proximity card be cloned and design a real-time intrusion detection system based on one tool of Complex Event Processing (Esper) in the RFID middleware. We will detect the cloned tags through training our system with the user's habits. When detected anomalous behavior which may clone tags have occurred, and then send the notification to user. We discuss the reliability of this intrusion detection system and describes in detail how to work.

Port services and maritime supply chain processes depend upon complex interrelated ICT systems hosted in the ports' Critical Information Infrastructures (CIIs). Current research efforts for securing the dual nature (cyber-physical) of the ports and their supply chain partners are presented here.
