Socio-technical Security Analysis of Wireless Hotspots

چکیده
We present a socio-technical analysis of security of Hotspot and Hotspot 2.0. The analysis focuses is user-centric, and aim at understanding which user action can compromise security in presence of a attacker. We identify research questions about possible factors that may affect user’s security decisions, and propose experiments to answer them.

متن کاملSTS-Tool 3.0: Maintaining Security in Socio-Technical Systems
In this paper, we present STS-Tool 3.0: a software tool that helps security requirement engineers in maintaining high level of security in socio-technical systems. STS-Tool 3.0 allows to specify social/organizational security requirements and to enforce them in part of the implementation of socio-technical systems.
متن کاملPreserving Compliance with Security Requirements in Socio-Technical Systems
Socio-technical systems are an interplay of social (humans and organizations) and technical components interacting with one another to achieve their objectives. Security is a central issue in such complex systems, and it cannot be tackled only through technical mechanisms: the encryption of sensitive data while being transmitted, does not assure that the receiver will not disclose them to unaut...
متن کاملA Multilateral Secure Payment System for Wireless LAN Hotspots
Beginning with the adoption of the de-facto standard for wireless LAN communications IEEE 802.11 in 1999 we can observe a continuous growth of public wireless LAN hotspots that provide access to the Internet for modern road warriors. Unfortunately, current hotspots still suffer from several security drawbacks. In this paper we analyse how payment schemes used in current hotspot architectures co...
