Types of Online Deception
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2005)
Deception in virtual communities can be a serious issue. We present three approaches to characterizing
online deception: by the appearance, by the motivation, and by the mechanism. Appearances include identity
deception, ...
Two Taxonomies of Deception for Attacks on Information Systems
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2004-07)
'Cyberwar' is information warfare directed at the software of information systems. It represents an increasing threat
to our militaries and civilian infrastructures. Six principles of military deception are enumerated and ...
Trust in digital government
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2006)
The concept of trust in organizations has been an important area of recent research in sociology and management science (Sztompka,
1999). Trust is positive expectations of positive actions by others, and is important to ...
Towards Reversible Cyberattacks
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2010-07)
Warfare without damage has always been a dream of military planners. Traditional warfare usually leaves persistent side
effects in the form of dead and injured people and damaged infrastructure. An appealing feature of ...
Thwarting Cyber-Attack Reconnaissance with Inconsistency and Deception
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2007-06)
One of the best ways to defend a computer system is to make attackers think it is not worth attacking. Deception or
inconsistency during attacker reconnaissance can be an effective way to encourage this. We provide some ...
Three Simulation Models of Naval Air Defense
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2005)
Naval air defense is a critical facility for ship survivability and has been subject of a number of studies. We investigate here three
different approaches to modeling it with computer software. One approach focuses on the ...
Testing the National Software Reference Library
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2012-08)
The National Software Reference Library (NSRL) is an essential data source for forensic investigators, providing in its Reference Data Set
(RDS) a set of hash values of known software. However, the NSRL RDS has not ...
Testing Deception Tactics in Response to Cyberattacks
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2012-06-11)
Deception can be a useful tool in defending computer systems against cyberattacks because it is
unexpected and offers much variety of tactics. It is particularly useful for sites of critical infrastructure for which
multiple ...
Steps towards parsing of query sequences to a database / Proceedings of the First International Workshop on Expert Database Systems, October 1984
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1984-10)
Sequences of queries to a database system can have structure. Recognizing this structure is a kind of "parsing", analogous to the parsing of
sentences. We present two rather different approaches to recognition for exploitation. ...
Steps towards Monitoring Cyberarms Compliance
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2011-07)
Cyberweapons are difficult weapons to control and police. Nonetheless, technology is becoming available that can help.
We propose here the underlying technology necessary to support cyberarms agreements. Cyberweapons usage ...
