Visible to the public Real-time Privacy Risk Evaluation and Enforcement

Submitted by Heather Lucas on Fri, 11/25/2016 - 11:35am

Critical infrastructure is increasingly comprised of distributed, inter---dependent components and information that is vulnerable to sophisticated, multi---stage cyber---attacks. These attacks are difficult to understand as isolated incidents, and thus to improve understanding and response, organizations must rapidly share high quality threat, vulnerability and exploit---related, cyber---security information. However, pervasive and ubiquitous computing has blurred the boundary between work---related and personal data. This includes both the use of workplace computers for p

Visible to the public Usable Formal Methods for the Design and Composition of Security and Privacy Policies

Submitted by Travis Breaux on Mon, 03/30/2015 - 10:20pm

Security-Metrics-Driven-Evaluation, Design, Development and Deployment. Our research evaluates security pattern selection and application by designers in response to attack patterns. The evaluation is based on formal models of attack scenarios that are used to measure security risk and promote risk reduction strategies based on assurance cases constructed by the analyst. The aim is to improve the usability of formal methods for studying security design and composition.

Visible to the public Highly Configurable Systems

Submitted by Pfeffer Juergen on Fri, 03/27/2015 - 10:23am

In highly configurable software systems the configuration space is too big for (re-)certifying every configuration in isolation. In this project, we combine software analysis with network analysis to detect which configuration options interact and which have local effects. Instead of analyzing a system as Linux and SELinux for every combination of configuration settings one by one (>10^2000 even considering compile-time configurations only), we analyze the effect of each configuration option once for the entire configuration space.

Visible to the public Deploying the Security Behavior Observatory: An Infrastructure for Long-term Monitoring of Client Machines

Submitted by aforget on Tue, 10/28/2014 - 1:23pm. Contributor:

Abstract: Much of the data researchers usually collect about users' privacy and security behavior comes from short-term studies and focuses on specific, narrow activities. We present a design architecture and deployment of the Security Behavior Observatory (SBO), a client-server infrastructure designed to collect a wide array of data on user and computer security- and privacy-related behavior from a panel of hundreds of participants over several years. The SBO infrastructure had to be carefully designed to fulfill several requirements.
