  • Trust Case: justifying trust in an IT solution
    Publication

    - Year 2005

    W artykule prezentujemy podejście wykorzystane przy budowie dowodu zaufania (ang. trust case) do DRIVE, infrastruktury informatycznej wspomagającej dystrybucję i podawanie leków. Cele DRIVE obejmowały bezpieczniejszą i mniej kosztowną dystrybucję leków. Dowód zaufania reprezentuje argumentację przemawiającą za tym, że DRIVE jest godne zaufania. Składa się on z żądań (ang. claims) postulujących pewne związane z zaufaniem własności...

  • An untraceability protocol for mobile agents and its enhanced security study
    Publication

    - Year 2006

    Artykuł przedstawia rozszerzoną analizę bezpieczeństwa zaproponowanego przez nas protokołu ochrony przed tropieniem (ang. untraceability protocol) dla agentów mobilnych. Jak dotąd, tak systematyczna analiza bezpieczeństwa nie została przeprowadzona. Co więcej, istniejące znane analizy bezpieczeństwa koncentrują się wyłącznie na atakujących wewnętrznych. Uważamy, że stworzona przez nas lista kontrolna ataków może posłużyć jako...

  • Architecture supporting security of agent systems
    Publication

    - Year 2006

    W rozprawie zaproponowano nową architekturę bezpieczeństwa wspomagającą anonimowość w systemach agentowych. Moduł I architektury zapewnia funkcjonalność protokołu ochrony przed tropieniem (ang. untraceability), z tą zaletą, że nie wprowadza ograniczeń wobec agentów samodzielnie ustalających trasę własnej wędrówki. Stanowi rdzeń architektury, który zaimplementowano jako rozszerzenie platformy agentowej JADE, udostępniane publicznie...

  • Performance analysis of untraceability protocols for mobile agents using an adaptable framework
    Publication

    - Year 2006

    Artykuł przedstawia środowisko oceny wydajności protokołów ochrony przed tropieniem agentów mobilnych oraz wyniki analiz przeprowadzonych za jego pomocą. Chociaż środowisko projektowano i implementowano z myślą o ewaluacji zaproponowanych przez nas protokołów ochrony przed tropieniem, w trakcie badań okazało się, że może ono zostać również wykorzystane do badań całej klasy protokołów bezpieczeństwa dla agentów mobilnych. Chodzi...

  • Anonymity Architecture for Mobile Agent Systems
    Publication

    - Year 2007

    The paper presents a new security architecture for MAS, which supports anonymity of agent owners. The architecture is composed of two main elements: Module I: Untraceability Protocol Infrastructure and Module II: Additional Untraceability Support. Module I is based on the recently proposed untraceability protocol for MAS and it forms the core of the anonymity architecture, which can be supported by the ele- ments of the second...

  • MAlSim - Mobile Agent Malware Simulator
    Publication

    - Year 2008

    One of the problems related to the simulation of attacks against critical infrastructures is the lack of adequate tools for the simulation of malicious software (malware). Malware attacks are the most frequent in the Internet and they pose a serious threat against critical networked infrastructures. To address this issue we developed Mobile Agent Malware Simulator (MAISim). The framework uses the technology of mobile agents and...

  • Security Evaluation of IT Systems Underlying Critical Networked Infrastructures
    Publication

    - Year 2008

    Critical infrastructures have become highly dependent on information and communication technology (ICT). The drawback of this situation is that the consequences of disturbances of the underlying ICT networks may be serious as cascading effects can occur. This raises a high demand for security assurance, with a high importance assigned to security evaluations. In this paper we present an experiment-centric approach for the characterisation...

  • Simulating Malware with MAlSim
    Publication

    - Year 2008

    This paper describes MAlSim - Mobile Agent Malware Simulator - a mobile agent framework developed to address one of the most important problems related to the simulation of attacks against information systems i.e. the lack of adequate tools for reproducing behaviour of malicious software (malware). The framework can be deployed over the network of an arbitrary information system and it aims at simulating behaviour of each instance...

  • Podejście do oceny bezpieczeństwa IT infrastruktur krytycznych
    Publication

    - Year 2009

    Artykuł przedstawia podejście do oceny bezpieczeństwa systemów informacyjnych stosowanych w infrastrukturach krytycznych. Prezentowany sposób oceny polega na dokładnej rekonstrukcji ocenianego systemu informacyjnego w laboratorium bezpieczeństwa IT, a następ-nie symulowaniu potencjalnych zagrożeń w systemie. Podejście zostało zastosowane przy weryfikacji bezpieczeństwa elektrowni. W rozdziale został opisany jeden z eksperymentów...

  • Security Assessment of a Turbo-Gas Power Plant
    Publication

    - Year 2009

    Critical infrastructures are exposed to new threats due to the large number of vulnerabilities and architectural weaknesses introduced by the extensive use of information and communication technologies. This paper presents the results of an exhaustive security assessment for a turbo-gas power plant.

  • Approach to security assessment of critical infrastructures' information systems
    Publication

    - IET Information Security - Year 2011

    This study presents an approach to the security assessment of the information systems of critical infrastructures. The approach is based on the faithful reconstruction of the evaluated information system in a computer security laboratory followed by simulations of possible threats against the system. The evidence collected during the experiments, stored and organised using a proprietary system InSAW, may later be used for the creation...

  • Security and Anonymity in Agent Systems
    Publication

    - Year 2012

    Many agent systems have been developed and suggested for commercial application. However, in spite of the significant potential offered by the agent paradigm, the lack of such important properties as security, anonymity and untracebility especially in open dynamical environment, such as the Internet, has blocked the active implementation of agent technologies. Protecting agent systems poses a more demanding challenge comparing...

  • Agents in Simulation of Cyberattacks to Evaluate Security of Critical Infrastructures
    Publication

    - Year 2013

    In the last years critical infrastructures have become highly dependent on the information technologies and exposed to cyberattacks. Because the effects of the attacks can be detrimental, it is crucial to comprehensively asses the security of the infrastructures' information systems. This chapter describes MAlSim - the simulator of malicious software based on software agents, developed for the needs of a testbed for critical infrastructures...

  • Cost assessment of computer security activities
    Publication

    Comprehensive cost-benefit analysis plays a crucial role in the decision-making process when it comes to investments in information security solutions. The cost of breaches needs to be analysed in the context of spending on protection measures. However, no methods exist that facilitate the quick and rough prediction of true expenditures on security protection systems. Rafal Leszczyna of Gdansk University of Technology presents...
