databases and network systems of large corporations. For businesses, the main supply chain areas at risk are the processes and controls for various departments, such as human resources, finance and accounting, procurement, and marketing. One of the processes at bigger risk is procurement. Majority of companies use other businesses outside their own, like manufacturers and distributors, as part of their purchasing process. All this information is stored in the company’s computer system, and “the need to

paper, we present a novel attack tree paradigm called attack countermeasure tree (ACT) which avoids the generation and solution of a state-space model and takes into account attacks as well as countermeasures (in the form of detection and mitigation events). In ACT, detection and mitigation are allowed not just at the leaf node but also at the intermediate nodes while at the same time the state-space explosion problem is avoided in its analysis. We study the consequences of incorporating countermeasures

User Authentication through Keystroke Dynamics1 FRANCESCO BERGADANO, DANIELE GUNETTI, and CLAUDIA PICARDI University of Torino Unlike other access control systems based on biometric features, keystroke analysis has not led to techniques providing an acceptable level of accuracy. The reason is probably the intrinsic variability of typing dynamics, versus other—very stable—biometric characteristics, such as face or fingerprint patterns. In this paper we present an original measure for keystroke

approaches to this security dilemma, security prevention, and security detection. An example of security prevention would be a firewall device that restricts specific traffic or ports to or from specific hosts. Although this provides protection against unauthorized traffic, it has no means for determining if an attack is being attempted via an authorized port. An example of security detection would be an IDS (Intrusion Detection System) device that contains a signature to identify a specific attack via

inadequate employee security training created numerous security vulnerabilities throughout the aviation industry. After the 9/11 attack, a federal government controlled, stricter, and more sweeping passenger and baggage screening replaced this flawed system. With the aid of taxpayer funds, aviation security became part of one agency, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). The TSA handles all passenger and baggage security at all US airports (CRS, 2001). The federal government tried to minimize
