“…at the topology layer, Kirrmann and Dzung [27] used Redundancy on any level of the communication stack (e.g., physical, link, or network layers). Al-Wakeel and Al-Swailemm [28] used path redundancy to mitigate sensor network attacks by using alternative routing paths for data transmission. At the application layer, Yuan et al [29] used software redundancy (example used are web server and database redundancy) in an event of an attack for the system architecture to adapt to the attack pattern.…”

“…The Diversity technique provides equivalent functions with different implementations (e.g., operating systems, variant inputs and interpreters, variant software stack components) [19], [20], [21], [22], [23], [24], [25], [26]. The Redundancy technique provides multiple replicas of the network components (e.g., services, nodes, or paths) to make multiples of the same function [27], [28], [29], [30], [31], [32]. Further, these techniques may be applied in combinations to enhance the security.…”

Cyber crime is a developing concern, where criminals are targeting valuable assets and critical infrastructures within networked systems, causing a severe socio-economic impact on enterprises and individuals. Adopting Moving Target Defense (MTD) helps thwart cyber attacks by continuously changing the attack surface. There are numerous MTD techniques proposed in various domains (e.g., virtualized network, wireless sensor network), but there is still a lack of methods to assess and compare the effectiveness of them. Security models, such as an Attack Graph (AG), provide a formal method of analyzing the security, but incorporating MTD techniques in those security models has not been studied. In this paper, we incorporate MTD techniques into a security model, namely a Hierarchical Attack Representation Model (HARM), to assess the effectiveness of them. In addition, we use importance measures (IMs) for deploying MTD techniques to enhance the scalability. Finally, we compare the scalability of AG and HARM when deploying MTD techniques, as well as changes in performance and security in our experiments.

“…One of the problems related to the issue of stealth dissemination is the one of routing or disseminating in sensor networks where one or more nodes are compromised (recent work in this direction being Hung et al [4], Al-Wakeel et al [5] An and Cam [6]). A probabilistic approach to determine which nodes might be compromised is frequently part of the approaches, for instance in Chen et al [7].…”

Many sensor networks are deployed to detect and track intruders. If the existence and location of sensor nodes is disclosed to the opponent, the nodes can be easily disabled or compromised. Wireless transmissions in the presence of the opponent are an important source of disclosure.In this paper, we first describe a way to quantify the stealthiness of the sensor node, with a numerical stealthiness metric. Then, we introduce a local model based dissemination protocol, Try and Bounce (TAB) which takes into account stealth considerations while reporting and forwarding observation reports.In an experimental study comparing TAB to the widely used directed diffusion dissemination protocol, we find that TAB achieves significantly higher stealth for equivalent tracking accuracy, or, alternatively, lower tracking error for equivalent stealth expenditure.

Relative cost of fault-tolerant transmission for connecting distributed resources

et al. 2010

There exists a need for additional transmission capacity to connect distributed resources such as wind energy from remote locations to the power grid. The high cost of running transmission lines necessitates having a way to minimize the length of transmission required to connect the distributed resources to load centers. In addition, the substations that connect to the transmission lines need to be fault tolerant by ensuring that the loss of any one transmission line does not result in the loss of power to any substation. In this paper, the relative cost of connecting a range of sources to a range of loads with and without fault tolerance is presented. Fault tolerance is achieved through a 2-path redundant graph approach. Studies show that the additional cost of ensuring fault tolerance for selected schemes ranges between 8% and 33%. This percentage value can support decision making in practice.
