Automotive Security Analyzer For Exploitability Risks - An Automated And Attack Graph-Based Evaluation Of On-Board Networks

by Martin Salfer

~~131,84€~~ 118,66€ 10% OFF

 Our lives depend on automotive cybersecurity, protecting us inside and near vehicles. If vehicles go rogue, they can operate against the driver’s will and potentially drive off a cliff or into a crowd. The "Automotive Security Analyzer for Exploitability Risks" (AutoSAlfER) evaluates the exploitability risks of automotive on-board networks by attack graphs. AutoSAlfER’s Multi-Path Attack Graph algorithm is 40 to 200 times smaller in RAM and 200 to 5 000 times faster than a comparable implementation using Bayesian networks, and the Single-Path Attack Graph algorithm constructs the most reasonable attack path per asset with a computational, asymptotic complexity of only O(n * log(n)), instead of O(n²). AutoSAlfER runs on a self-written graph database, heuristics, pruning, and homogenized Gaussian distributions and boosts people’s productivity for a more sustainable and secure automotive on-board network. Ultimately, we enjoy more safety and security in and around autonomous, connected, electrified, and shared vehicles.<div> </div><div> </div><div> </div>

Technology Assessment Of Dual-Use Icts - How To Assess Diffusion, Governance And Design

by Thea Riebe

131,84€ + 10% CARD

 Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) are important to human, national, and even international security. IT research, artifacts, and knowledge that can be applied in military and civilian contexts, used as part of weapon systems, or cause significant harm are referred to as dual-use. Advances in artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, cybersecurity, and open source intelligence (OSINT) raise questions about their dual-use risks. But how can dual-use of such disparate technologies be assessed? Case studies are still lacking on how to assess dual-use ICT and how to enable sensitive and responsible dual-use design. To address the research gap, this cumulative dissertation uses Technology Assessment (TA) as an epistemological framework to bring together approaches of Critical Security Studies (CSS) as well as Value Sensitive Design (VSD) from the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). As a result, the dissertation systematizes the dual-use risks and scenarios of the selected ICTs and derives organizational and design implications.<div> </div><div> </div>

Future-Proof Software-Systems - A Sustainable Evolution Strategy

by Frank J. Furrer

59,61€ + 10% CARD

 This book focuses on software architecture and the value of architecture in the development of long-lived, mission-critical, trustworthy software-systems. The author introduces and demonstrates the powerful strategy of "Managed Evolution," along with the engineering best practice known as "Principle-based Architecting." The book examines in detail architecture principles for e.g., Business Value, Changeability, Resilience, and Dependability. The author argues that the software development community has a strong responsibility to produce and operate useful, dependable, and trustworthy software. Software should at the same time provide business value and guarantee many quality-of-service properties, including security, safety, performance, and integrity. As Dr. Furrer states, "Producing dependable software is a balancing act between investing in the implementation of business functionality and investing in the quality-of-service properties of the software-systems." The book presents extensive coverage of such concepts as: <ul><li>Principle-Based Architecting </li><li>Managed Evolution Strategy </li><li>The Future </li><li>Principles for Business Value </li><li>Legacy Software Modernization/Migration </li><li>Architecture Principles for Changeability </li><li>Architecture Principles for Resilience </li><li>Architecture Principles for Dependability </li></ul>The text is supplemented with numerous figures, tables, examples and illustrative quotations. Future-Proof Software-Systems provides a set of good engineering practices, devised for integration into most software development processes dedicated to the creation of software-systems that incorporate Managed Evolution.
