Book excerpt: The emergence of the Internet and personal computers has led to an age of unprecedented information access. The proliferation of Internet connectivity, personal computers, and portable, high density data storage has put volumes of data at one's fingertips. While the spread of such technology has increased efficiency and knowledge, it has also made information theft easier and more damaging. One common expression of information theft is a data storage disk or equipment containing sensitive or valuable information. For example, the U.K. government lost computer disks that contain personal information on almost half of the country's population. The information includes names, addresses, insurance numbers, bank account details, etc. These emerging problems have made the field of information security grow significantly in recent years. This thesis develops a new means to provide more protection against information loss, named geo-security or location-based security. This new technology is well suited to help mitigate the above described data loss scenario. Precise location and time information can be used to restrict access of the system or equipment at certain locations and time frames. This study bridges the two fields of navigation and security, and provides experimental support for the concept using location information for security. This thesis designs a theoretical framework that provides a general analysis of geo-security, and quantifies the reliability and security of a geo-security system. The qualitative part of this analysis includes navigation signal definition, system design, performance standards, threat model and attack scenarios, and mitigation of the threats/attacks. The quantitative part of this analysis measures and quantifies location-dependent navigation parameters based on information theory, and evaluates the consistency, spatial decorrelation, and entropy of these parameters for a variety of relevant navigation systems. Next, this thesis demonstrates geo-security using Long Range Navigation (Loran) and Wi-Fi as case studies. Experiments were conducted to evaluate the performance based on the designed framework. They illustrate the trade space between permitting access to authorized users and denying access to attackers. Finally, error-tolerant algorithms, named fuzzy extractors, are developed to improve the availability and reliability of location-based security systems given the constraints of real-world navigation systems and signal propagation characteristics.

Download or read book Security Operations written by Robert H. Deatherage, Jr. and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-06-15 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Security Operations: An Introduction to Planning and Conducting Private Security Details for High-Risk Areas, Second Edition was written for one primary purpose: to keep people alive by introducing them to private security detail tactics and techniques. The book provides an understanding of the basic concepts and rules that need to be followed in protective services, including what comprises good security practice. This second edition is fully updated to include new case scenarios, threat vectors, and new ambush ploys and attack tactics used by opportunistic predators and seasoned threat actors with ever-advanced, sophisticated schemes. Security has always been a necessity for conducting business operations in both low- and high-risk situations, regardless of the threat level in the operating environment. Overseas, those with new ideas or businesses can frequently be targets for both political and criminal threat agents intent on doing harm. Even in the United States, people become targets because of positions held, publicity, politics, economics, or other issues that cause unwanted attention to a person, their family, or business operations. Security Operations, Second Edition provides an introduction to what duties a security detail should perform and how to effectively carry out those duties. The book can be used by a person traveling with a single bodyguard or someone being moved by a full security detail. FEATURES • Identifies what can pose a threat, how to recognize threats, and where threats are most likely to be encountered • Presents individuals and companies with the security and preparedness tools to protect themselves when operating in various environments, especially in high-risk regions • Provides an understanding of operational security when in transit: to vary route selection and keep destinations and movement plans out of the public view • Outlines the tools and techniques needed for people to become security conscious and situationally aware for their own safety and the safety of those close to them An equal help to those just entering the protection business or people and companies that are considering hiring a security detail, Security Operations is a thorough, detailed, and responsible approach to this serious and often high-risk field. Robert H. Deatherage Jr. is a veteran Special Forces Soldier and private security consultant with thirty years’ experience in military and private security operations. His various writings on security topics cover security operations, threat assessment, risk management, client relations, surveillance detection, counter surveillance operations, foot and vehicle movements, and building security—blending solid operational theory with practical field experience.

Download or read book Security Issues for Wireless Sensor Networks written by Parag Verma and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2022-04-19 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have attracted high interest over the last few decades in the wireless and mobile computing research community. Applications of WSNs are numerous and growing, including indoor deployment scenarios in the home and office to outdoor deployment in an adversary’s territory in a tactical background. However, due to their distributed nature and deployment in remote areas, these networks are vulnerable to numerous security threats that can adversely affect their performance. This problem is more critical if the network is deployed for some mission-critical applications, such as in a tactical battlefield. Random failure of nodes is also very likely in real-life deployment scenarios. Due to resource constraints in the sensor nodes, a traditional security mechanism with high overhead of computation and communication is not feasible in WSNs. Design and implementation of secure WSNs is, therefore, a particularly challenging task. This book covers a comprehensive discussion on state-of-the-art security technologies for WSNs. It identifies various possible attacks at different layers of the communication protocol stack in a typical WSN and presents their possible countermeasures. A brief discussion on the future direction of research in WSN security is also included.
