A MOVING TARGET DEFENSE SCHEME WITH OVERHEAD OPTIMIZATION USING PARTIALLY OBSERVABLE MARKOV DECISION PROCESSES WITH ABSORBING STATES
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2020-09)
Moving target defense (MTD) is a promising strategy for gaining advantage over cyber attackers, but these dynamic reconfigurations can impose significant overhead. We propose implementing MTD within an optimization framework ...
FRAMEWORK FOR ANONYMIZED COVERT COMMUNICATIONS: A BLOCKCHAIN-BASED PROOF-OF-CONCEPT
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2022-09)
In this dissertation, we present an information hiding approach incorporating anonymity that builds on existing classical steganographic models. Current security definitions are not sufficient to analyze the proposed ...
DESIGN OF A TAILORABLE PHYSICAL LAYER SECURITY FRAMEWORK INCLUDING ALTERNATING SPACE-TIME CODING AND GRAY CODE HOPPING
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2021-06)
A physical layer security framework is developed that may be tailored to a particular wireless communications link. Alternating space-time coding and Gray code hopping techniques are presented that may be implemented ...
C-DIFFERENTIALS AND GENERALIZED CRYPTOGRAPHIC PROPERTIES OF VECTORIAL BOOLEAN AND P-ARY FUNCTIONS
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2022-06)
This dissertation investigates a newly defined cryptographic differential, called a c-differential, and its relevance to the nonlinear substitution boxes of modern symmetric block ciphers. We generalize the notions of ...
