Identification of distributed systems

An integrated experimental environment for distributed systems and networks

Three experimental environments traditionally support network and distributed systems research: network emulators, network simulators, and live networks. The continued use of multiple approaches highlights both the value and inadequacy of e...

Visualizing Distributed System Executions

Distributed systems pose unique challenges for software developers. Understanding the system’s communication topology and reasoning about concurrent activities of system hosts can be difficult. The standard approach, analyzing system logs, ...

Ratings in Distributed Systems: A Bayesian Approach

For distributed systems at large and e-commerce systems in particular, ratings play an increasingly important role. Ratings confer reputation measures about sources. This paper reports our formalization of the rating process. This paper arg...

Regional observability of distributed systems

The aim of this paper is to develop the concept of regional observability for distributed systems. This original concept is closer to practical considerations since it only requires the observation of the state on a given subregion. We show...

Authentication in distributed systems

We describe a theory of authentication and a system that implements it. Our theory is based on the notion of principal and a "speaks for" relation between principals. A simple principal either has a name or is a communication channel; a com...

Actors: A Model of Concurrent Computation in Distributed Systems

A foundational model of concurrency is developed in this thesis. It examines issues in the design of parallel systems and show why the actor model is suitable for exploiting large-scale parallelism. Concurrency in actors is constrained only...

Toward a Global Cybersecurity Standard of Care? Exploring the Implications of the 2014 NIST Cybersecurity Framework on Shaping Reasonable National and International Cybersecurity Practices

"Even though U.S. congressional and multilateral efforts aimed at enhancing cybersecurity have thus far largely failed in their aims, courts are using existing doctrines including negligence to hold companies accountable for cyber attacks. ...

Cyberspace and Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity

CybersecurityNowadays, the Internet is integrated into society both through social interaction and business transactions, so the need for data protection and security has become increasingly important.In addition, not only computers, but al...

Cybersecurity

In today’s hyperconnected world, digital threats lurk in every corner of cyberspace. This comprehensive guide equips you with essential knowledge to identify, mitigate, and counter cyber threats, navigating the increasingly dangerous digita...

Philosophy of Cybersecurity

Technology and digitization are a great social good. But they also involve risks and threats. Cybersecurity is not just a matter of data or computer security; cybersecurity is about the security of society. Why "Philosophy"? To understand h...

Reflections on Cybersecurity

The lack of security in cyberspace may be addressed by learning from the strengths of the Internet....

Cyber-noir: Cybersecurity and popular culture

Cybersecurity experts foster a perception of cybersecurity as a gloomy underworld in which the good guys must resort to unconventional tactics to keep at bay a motley group of threats to the digital safety of unsuspecting individuals, busin...

This is a definition of Cybersecurity in the Elgar Concise Encyclopedia of Space Law. Providing a comprehensive and timely overview of the evolving landscape of space law, this Encyclopedia emphasizes the importance of international collabo...

Cybersecurity For Defense Economists

Cybersecurity plays a role in national security. This study introduces cybersecurity concepts in ways familiar to defense economists and identifies parallel methods of analysis in the fields. The theoretical tools of both fields include mic...

Cybersecurity

This chapter will examine the concepts of cybersecurity and the possibility of cyberwar, and how cyberspace has become a referent object. What cyberspace is will be defined, before exploring the various ways in which this new domain can be ...

The cybersecurity dilemma: hacking, trust, and fear between nations*

There is hardly a more pressing topic in contemporary security affairs than cyber security—yet none so perplexing. Cyber weapons are a recent addition to the arsenal of states, and ‘cyberwar’ in general is a remarkably and increasingly worr...

The role of the Cybersecurity Strategy of the Republic of Poland in ensuring cybersecurity

Cybersecurity belongs to the area of activity of state and supra-state actors, giving direction to national and international systems of law as components of national and supranational systems of political, economic, military cooperation, e...
