Abstract:

<p>In today’s society, serious organizations need protection against both internal and external attacks. There are many different technologies available that organizations can incorporate into their organization in order to enhance security for their networking applications. Unfortunately, security is way to often considered as an afterthought and therefore implemented as an external part of the applications. This is usually performed by introducing general security models and technologies.</p><p>However, an already developed, well structured and considered security approach – with proper impl

Abstract:

<p>The Web has evolved to support sophisticated web applications. These web applications are exposed to a number of attacks and vulnerabilities. The existing security model is unable to cope with these increasing attacks and there is a need for a new security model that not only provides the required security but also supports recent advances like AJAX and mashups. The attacks on client-side Web Applications can be attributed to four main reasons – 1) lack of a security context for Web Browsers to take decisions on the legitimacy of requests, 2) inadequate JavaScript security, 3) lack of a Ne

Near Field Communication (NFC) refers to a communication technology that enables an effortless connection and data transfers between two devices by putting them in a close proximity. Besides contactless payment and ticketing applications, which were the original key drivers of this technology, a large number of novel use cases can benefit from this rapidly developing technology, as has been illustrated in various NFC-enabled application proposals and pilot trials. Typical NFC-enabled systems combine NFC tags, NFC-enabled mobile phones, and online servers. This thesis explores the trust relatio

Microwave imaging technologies have been widely researched in the biomedical field where they rely on the imaging of dielectric properties of tissues. Healthy and malignant tissue have different dielectric properties in the microwave frequency region, therefore, the dielectric properties of a human body's tissues are generally different from other contraband materials. Consequently, dielectric data analysis techniques using microwave signals can be used to distinguish between different types of materials that could be hidden in the human body, such as explosives or drugs.

Abstract:

Computer security attacks take place due to the presence of vulnerabilities and bugs in software applications. Bugs and vulnerabilities are the result of weak software architecture and lack of standard software development practices. Despite the fact that software companies are investing millions of dollars in the research and development of software designs security risks are still at large. In some cases software applications are found to carry vulnerabilities for many years before being identified. A recent such example is the popular Heart Bleed Bug in the Open SSL/TSL.

In recent years, machine learning (ML) has been explored and employed in many fields. However, there are growing concerns about the robustness of machine learning models. These concerns are further amplified in security-critical applications — attackers can manipulate the inputs (i.e., adversarial examples) to cause machine learning models to make a mistake, and it's very challenging to obtain a large amount of attackers' data. These make applying machine learning in security-critical applications difficult. In this dissertation, we present several approaches to robustifying three machine lea

Trapdoor functions, introduced in the seminal paper of Diffie and Hellman, are a fundamental notion in modern cryptography. Informally, trapdoor functions are injective functions that are easy to evaluate but hard to invert unless given an additional input called the trapdoor. Specifically, the classical security notion considered for trapdoor functions is one-wayness, which asks that it be hard to invert (except with very small probability) a uniformly random point in the range without the trapdoor.

Apache Accumulo is a NoSQL database that introduced a unique information security feature—cell-level access control. We study Accumulo to examine its cell-level access control policy enforcement mechanism. We survey existing Accumulo applications, focusing on Koverse as a case study to model the interaction between Accumulo and a client application. We conclude with a discussion of po

Abstract:

This thesis details the approaches which aim to automatically optimize power system security schemes. In this research, power system security scheme includes two main plans. The first plan, which is called the defence plan scheme, is about preventing cascading blackouts while the second plan, which is called the restoration plan, is about rebuilding the power system in case of failure of the first plan. Practically, the defence plan includes under-frequency load shedding and under-frequency islanding schemes. These two schemes are always considered the last stage of the defensive actions again

Thesis (M.S.)--Boston University<br>Android is a major mobile operating system pre-installed and shipped with more than 60% of smart-phones in the market. The open source nature of android en- courages developers to innovate wide-range of applications. Meantime, the sweeping android acceptance with individuals and industries caught the attention of malicious software writers, which led to a sharp increase of security threats. Such threats raise a deeper concern in financial and healthcare applications that are inherently bound to handle private and sensitive information. The research provides

Abstract:

The threat of government and corporate surveillance around the world, as well as the publicity surrounding major cybersecurity attacks, have increased interest in secure and private end-to-end communications. In response to this demand, numerous secure messaging applications have been developed in recent years. These applications have been welcomed and publically used not just by political activists and journalists but by everyday users as well. Most of these popular secure messaging applications are usable because they hide many of the details of how encryption is provided. The strength of th

Abstract:

This thesis focuses on introducing novel algorithms in information security through studying successful algorithms in bioinformatics and adapting them to solve some open problems in information security. Although, the problems in both bioinformatics and information security are different, yet, they might be considered very similar when it comes to identifying and solving them using Stringology techniques. Different successful bioinformatics algorithms have been studied and introduced to solve different security problems such as malware detection, biometrics and big data. Firstly, we present a
