Smart Grid (SG) poses operational and business challenges for energy suppliers and utility companies that are readily met by Cloud Computing (CC). Given the distributed nature of SG and CC it is inevitable that the two technologies will become integrated. In this paper we discuss the risks and opportunities that CC presents to energy suppliers and utility companies, and consider what inherent a...

This research aimed at developing a theoretical framework to predict the next obfuscation (or deobfuscation) move of the adversary, with the intent of making cyber defense proactive. More specifically, the goal was to understand the relationship between obfuscation and deobfuscation techniques employed in malware offense and defense. The strategy was to build upon previous work of Giacobazzi an...

Excellent book is always being the best friend for spending little time in your office, night time, bus, and everywhere. It will be a good way to just look, open, and read the book while in that time. As known, experience and skill don't always come with the much money to acquire them. Reading this book with the PDF moving target defense creating asymmetric uncertainty for cyber threats will le...

The recently proposed cybersecurity dynamics approach aims to understand cybersecurity from a holistic perspective by modeling the evolution of the global cybersecurity state. These models describe the interactions between the various kinds of cyber defenses and the various kinds of cyber attacks. We study a particular kind of cybersecurity dynamics caused by the interactions between preventive...

Internet users such as individuals and organizations are subject to different types of epidemic risks such as worms, viruses, spams, and botnets. To reduce the probability of risk, an Internet user generally invests in traditional security mechanisms like anti-virus and anti-spam software, sometimes also known as self-defense mechanisms. However, according to security experts, such software (an...

This research paper analyzes the urgent topic of quantum cybersecurity and current federal quantum-cyber landscape. Quantum-safe implementations within existing future Internet Things infrastructure are discussed, along with vulnerabilities in public key symmetric cryptographic algorithms. Other relevant non-encryption-specific areas similarly raised. The evolution expansion cyberwarfare as wel...

Cyber systems play a critical role in improving the efficiency and reliability of power system operation and ensuring the system remains within safe operating margins. An adversary can inflict severe damage to the underlying physical system by compromising the control and monitoring applications facilitated by the cyber layer. There is a growing need for cyber-attack-resilient control technique...

Governments, companies, universities and research institutes are pushing the research and development of cyber-physical systems (CPS). However, the development of cyberphysical systems is constrained by security factors. According to this situation, this paper put forward a CPS security model, which contains security objectives, basic theories, simulation, and CPS framework, summarizes security...

Potential malicious cyber-attacks to power systems which are connected a wide range of stakeholders from the top tail will impose significant societal risks and challenges. The timely detection defense crucial importance for safe reliable operation cyber-physical (CPPSs). This paper presents comprehensive review some latest attack strategies. Firstly, vulnerabilities brought by new information ...
