In spite of the controversy surrounding the practice of using offensive computer security exercises in information assurance curricula, it holds significant educational value. An exercise and architecture for an asymmetric (offense-only) security project, nicknamed “Blunderdome”, has been deployed twice at the University of Tulsa: once to graduate students in a security engineering course, and ...

We use data for twenty-eight soccer teams and 1723 players that played in 6120 games during ten seasons and find t...

We discuss a reference model for security measures to preserve integrity of information. Unlike traditional approaches which focus on an defensive approach to preserving integrity, we also present offensive measures to stimulate integrity of information, by providing feedback from usage. The reference model is used to analyze the security measures proposed in the design of the Dutch national El...
