Optimal Patching in Clustered Epidemics of Malware
Studies on the propagation of malware in mobile networks have revealed that the spread of malware can be highly inhomogeneous across different regions. Heterogeneous rates of contact can also be due to diverse platforms, utilization of contact lists by the malware, the clustered nature of the network, etc. In this paper, a general formal framework is proposed for leveraging such information abo...
متن کاملOptimal Control of Mobile Malware Epidemics
Malware attacks constitute a serious security risk that threatens our ever-expanding wireless networks. Developing reliable security measures against outbreaks of malware facilitate the proliferation of wireless technologies. The first step towardthis goal is to investigate potential attack strategies and the extent of damage they can incur. Given the flexibility that software-based operation p...
متن کاملPercolation and epidemics in random clustered networks.
The social networks that infectious diseases spread along are typically clustered. Because of the close relation between percolation and epidemic spread, the behavior of percolation in such networks gives insight into infectious disease dynamics. A number of authors have studied percolation or epidemics in clustered networks, but the networks often contain preferential contacts in high degree n...
متن کاملOptimal Software Patching Plan for PMUs
Phasor measurement units (PMUs) deployed to monitor the state of an electrical grid need to be patched from time to time to prevent attacks that exploit vulnerabilities in the software. Applying some of these patches requires a PMU reboot, which takes the PMU offline for some time. If the PMU placement provides enough redundancy, it is possible to patch a set of PMUs at a time while maintaining...
متن کاملOptimal Patching Schemes for Efficient Multimedia Streaming
Multimedia streaming applications consume a significant amount of server and network resources due to the high bandwidth and long duration of audio and video clips. Making streaming services economically viable requires techniques for minimizing the incremental cost of serving a new client, particularly for popular content. Patching [1] reduces server and network overhead by allowing a client t...
