This book tackles the problem of complexity within IT environments, i.e., "e;Cybercomplexity,"e; which is generally recognized as a principal source of cybersecurity risk. The book first defines complexity and simplifies its analysis by assuming a probabilistic approach to security risk management. It then proposes a simple model of cybercomplexity that is based on Shannon entropy, a basic concept in information theory. The key drivers of cybercomplexity emerge from this model, where these drivers reveal the scale-dependence of cybersecurity risk and explain why macroscopic security controls are required to address cybersecurity risk on an enterprise scale. The significant operational implications of cybercomplexity are also discussed, thereby providing both a theoretical framework and a practical guide to addressing this longstanding problem in cybersecurity risk management.

This book studies the security of Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs) based on the Arbiter PUF design, with a focus on so-called modeling attacks. The author shows the insecurity of several designs and proposes a novel construction that is proven to be immune against attacks known in scientific literature. The book explores designs of variants and compositions of the Arbiter PUF, which was introduced as a CMOS-compatible, electrical PUF design, and has received a lot of research attention, albeit being insecure with respect to modeling attacks. After revisiting modeling attacks on the Arbiter PUF and XOR Arbiter PUF, the author demonstrates attacks against the Lightweight Secure XOR Arbiter PUF, Feed-Forward Arbiter PUF, and the Interpose PUF. He then introduces two novel PUF designs, the Beli PUF and the LP-PUF, and analyzes their security against modeling attacks. The book concludes by showing how the LP-PUF is resilient against currently known modeling attacks.

This book focuses on security science and technology, data and information security, and mobile and network security for space-air-ground integrated networks (SAGINs). SAGIN are expected to play an increasingly important role in providing real-time, flexible, and integrated communication and data transmission services in an efficient manner. Today, SAGINs have been widely developed for a range of applications in navigation, environmental monitoring, traffic management, counter-terrorism, etc. However, security becomes a major concern, since the satellites, spacecrafts, and aircrafts are susceptible to a variety of traditional/specific network-based attacks, including eavesdropping, session hijacking, and illegal access.In this book, we review the theoretical foundations of SAGIN security. We also address a range of related security threats and provide cutting-edge solutions in the aspect of ground network security, airborne network security, space network security, and provide future trends in SAGIN security. The book goes from an introduction to the topic¿s background, to a description of the basic theory, and then to cutting-edge technologies, making it suitable for readers at all levels including professional researchers and beginners. To gain the most from the book, readers should have taken prior courses in information theory, cryptography, network security, etc.

This book attempts to look into the genesis of security culture as a concept which emerged with the recognition of the role of the human factor in the context of security. It traces the rapid evolution of security culture into a multi-functional discipline reinforced by supplementary tools such as assessment and enhancement methodologies, reviews practical steps to harmonize nuclear safety and security culture as well as recommends its practical application to address insider threats and their consequences. In addition, it demonstrates how to tailor the generic model of nuclear security culture to meet specific needs of diverse facilities and activities in different countries. Finally, the book discusses several challenges which need to be addressed to make security culture a user-friendly, universal, and sustainable instrument to turn the perception of the human factor as a liability into an asset of nuclear security.

Even before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Central Region faced numerous obstacles to building a stable and prosperous future. The region, which encompasses the Middle East, the Horn of Africa, Central Asia, and South Asia, has been plagued by economic and political uncertainty amidst dramatic shifts in the global power structure. With the pandemic now exacerbating the volatility in this already fragile region, the U.S.'s strategic objectives are rife for re-examination.A complicated stew of factors such as weakening of established governance systems, the emboldening of extremist individuals and groups through advances in digital technology, the humanitarian crises in Afghanistan and Syria, and the intensification of the great power competition with China and Russia are creating a fertile environment for the growth of violent extremist organizations (VEOs). Such organizations take advantage of vulnerable, aggrieved, and traumatized populations to fuel radicalization, recruitment, and unrest, which further undermine stability and the potential for peace and prosperity.While it is still early to fully understand how the ongoing response to the COVID-19 pandemic will impact U.S. policy, this book provides a timely analysis of relevant dynamics such as popular radicalization, digital information ecosystems, networks of influence, and new capabilities to recognize and prepare for other such black swan events in the region.

This book comprises a set of chapters that introduce various topics pertinent to novel approaches towards enhancing cyber-physical measures for increased security and resilience levels in control systems. The unifying theme of these approaches lies in the utilization of knowledge and models of the physical systems, rather than an attempt to reinvigorate conventional IT-based security measures.The contributing authors present perspectives on network security, game theory, and control, as well as views on how these disciplines can be combined to design resilient, safe, and secure control systems. The book explores how attacks in different forms, such as false data injections and denial-of-service can be very harmful, and may not be detected unless the security measures exploit the physical models.  Several applications are discussed, power systems being considered most thoroughly. Because of its interdisciplinary nature-techniques from systems control, game theory, signal processing and computer science all make contributions-Security and Resilience of Control Systems will be of interest to academics, practitioners and graduate students with a broad spectrum of interests.

Soziale Medien haben die Kommunikation und Interaktion in der heutigen Gesellschaft grundlegend verändert. Sie werden nicht nur von Privatpersonen genutzt, sondern sind auch in Organisationen des öffentlichen Sektors wie den Streitkräften allgegenwärtig.Dieses Buch untersucht die Chancen und Risiken von Social Media im Kontext der Streitkräfte aus einer internationalen, sozialwissenschaftlichen Perspektive. Es erörtert die Auswirkungen sozialer Medien auf den Alltag von Militärangehörigen und analysiert, inwieweit soziale Medien deren Leistung beeinflussen, sei es als Ablenkung oder als Quelle wahrgenommener Wertschätzung. Sie beleuchtet insbesondere die Darstellung von Männlichkeit und Weiblichkeit in militärischen Social-Media-Kanälen, da die Art und Weise, wie das Geschlecht in den sozialen Medien dargestellt wird, Auswirkungen darauf hat, wie sich zukünftige Rekruten und - am anderen Ende des militärischen Karrierespektrums - Veteranen angesprochen fühlen.Das Buch befasst sich auch mit der neuen Form der Folgediskussion, die es den Streitkräften ermöglicht, mit der Bevölkerung zu interagieren. In den sozialen Medien werden die Streitkräfte öffentlich präsentiert, was die Meinung der Öffentlichkeit über sie prägt. Außerdem können die Streitkräfte die Debatten als Instrument zur Beobachtung der Einstellung der Gesellschaft zu ihnen oder zu Ereignissen, die sich auf die Gesellschaft auswirken, nutzen. Umgekehrt können die sozialen Medien den Militärangehörigen eine Stimme verleihen und ihnen ermöglichen, sich öffentlich Gehör zu verschaffen. Da Diskussionen in sozialen Medien nur begrenzt kontrollierbar sind, verändert der Kontext, in dem die Streitkräfte diskutiert werden, ihren Einflussbereich und führt möglicherweise zu einem Kontrollverlust. Ein extremes Beispiel hierfür ist die Nutzung sozialer Medien als Instrument zur strategischen Verbreitung von Fehlinformationen, um die öffentliche Meinung zu beeinflussen und die nationale Sicherheit zu gefährden. Darüber hinaus führt die Nutzung sozialer Medien zur Demoralisierung von Gegnern oder zur Beeinträchtigung ihrer Glaubwürdigkeit dazu, dass soziale Medien als Cyberwaffe betrachtet werden, die Politik und militärische Aktivitäten beeinflusst.
