Instinct tells us that computer security and computer usability are inversely proportional to each other. In other words, the tougher and stricter the security is, the less usability there is, and vice versa. However, there have been plenty of cases where both computer security and computer usability went hand in hand with each other and actually improved together. In the last few years securit...

Design and implementation of intrusion detection systems remain an important research issue in order to maintain proper network security. Despite the undeniable progress in the area of computer security there is still much to be done to improve security of today’s computer systems and so many mechanisms have been developed to assure its security. These systems are vulnerable to attacks from bot...

The development of network technology has brought convenience to people's life, but also provides the convenience for the virus, Trojan and other destructive programs to attack the network. Then, the computer network security is becoming more and more dangerous. Accurately and scientifically predict the risk of network, it can effectively prevent the risk, and reduce the loss caused by the prob...

Home computer users play a crucial role in securing the cyberspace, but the protection of home computers is left to the initiative of the users. In this study, we focus on the socio-behavioral perspective, as the behavior of home computer users on security issues is one of the most important factors in securing the cyberspace. The decomposed Theory of Planned Behavior is adapted to investigate ...
