Visible to the public Threat Modeling/Risk Analysis

Submitted by Katie Dey on Tue, 11/25/2014 - 12:06pm

With the increased use of cyber physical systems in current defense, medical, and energy applications, it is critical for the infrastructure to remain secure. As such, it is important to identify potential security flaws early in the design process in order to produce a consistent, secure and reliable system with minimal fabrication costs. This task can be accomplished using threat modeling. Threat modeling can be separated into two diverse fragments, asset centric and attack centric threat modeling.

Visible to the public Evaluation and Experimentation

Submitted by volgy on Tue, 10/07/2014 - 12:25pm

This research thrust focuses on the design and development of a highly accessible and scalable testbed environment for supporting the evaluation and experimentation efforts across the entire SURE research portfolio. This work is based on our existing technologies and previous results with the Command and Control Windtunnel (C2WT), a large-scale simulation integration platform and WebGME, a metaprogrammable web-based modeling environment with special emphasis

Visible to the public Decentralization in Security: Consequences and Incentive Design

Submitted by Yevgeniy Vorobeychik on Wed, 10/01/2014 - 11:29pm

In security, our concern is typically with securing a particular network, or eliminating security holes in a particular piece of software. These are important, but they miss the fact that being secure is fundamentally about security of all constituent parts, rather that any single part in isolation. In principle, if we can control all the pieces of a system, we can secure all possible channels of attack. Typically, system and security design of various components are performed by different agents, having varying and often conflicting interests.
