The reports from last years outline the fact that the web crawlers (robots, bots) activities generate more than a half of web traffic on Internet. Web robots can be good (used for example by search engines) or bad (for bypassing security solutions, scraping, spamming or hacking), but usually all take up the internet bandwidth and can cause damage to businesses that rely on web traffic or content....
A unidirectional security gateway is a network system in which data can travel in only one direction. Therefore, the system are used in protecting the safety and reliability of various critical infrastructures. Most of all, it has to be deployed with send and receive transceivers disconnected for one direction to ensure information security. In this paper, we introduce a unidirectional security gateway...
We present an approach to tracking the behaviour of an attacker on a decoy system, where the decoy communicates with the real system only through low energy bluetooth. The result is a low-cost solution that does not interrupt the live system, while limiting potential damage. The attacker has no way to detect that they are being monitored, while their actions are being logged for further investigation...
Fraud prevention in the banking sphere is a very important type of activity which can cover a whole range of fraud schemes — both from employees and customers. The article studies the existing technologies for realization of the system of security control over functioning of POS networks in real time and analyzes them in detail. Besides, the concept of the system of monitoring and analysis of threats...
In this paper, an online working condition monitoring system is designed to early warn environmental quality in manufacturing industry. It is very crucial to provide real time and accurate data for staffs, stakeholders and control center to monitor factory air quality at working place. By uploading the all collected data on internet, the environmental condition can be monitored in real time by users...
Defending against cache pollution attacks, highly detrimental attacks that are easy to implement in Named-Data Networking (NDN), currently suffers from the lack of coordination. Solving cache pollution attacks is a prerequisite for the deployment of NDN, which is widely considered to be the basis for the future Internet. We present CoMon++ to this end, a framework for lightweight coordination that...
A novel secure architecture for sensor networks that make use of the LoRaWAN (Long-Range Wide Area Network) protocol specification is proposed in this paper. The paper analyses potential security threats and provides the protection mechanisms and security recommendations to enable protected data transmission and to prevent unauthorized access and data loss in LoRaWAN sensor networks.
Lateral movement-based attacks are increasingly leading to compromises in large private and government networks, often resulting in information exfiltration or service disruption. Such attacks are often slow and stealthy and usually evade existing security products. To enable effective detection of such attacks, we present a new approach based on graph-based modeling of the security state of the target...
Nowadays, providing a security system for houses has become a vital research in which the latest technologies are being adopted to serve this purpose. Wireless network is one of the technologies that have been used to provide remote monitor and control for the home appliances. This paper aims to propose a security door lock system based on Raspberry pi technology where cameras, keypad and pi-lids...
Software-Defined Networks (SDN) is an emerging area that promises to change the way we design, build, and operate network architecture. It tends to shift from traditional network architecture of proprietary based to open and programmable network architecture. However, this new innovative and improved technology also brings another security burden into the network architecture, with existing and emerging...
In this paper a system for increasing children's safety is proposed. The focus is on the daily route from home to school and vice versa, assuming the use of school buses. IoT paradigm is exploited together with different localization techniques i.e. RFID and GPS, in order to design a solution for parents willing to make certain of their child's following the main steps to school or home, i.e. taking...
Proposals and some implementations of Internet of Things (IoT) systems for healthcare are described. Implications of current European Union legislation, the new General Data Protection Regulation, for the security and reliability of healthcare IoT systems and for the privacy of users of these systems are presented. Analytics of healthcare IoT data for the requirements of evidence based healthcare...
Information technologies can assist the elderly in their daily lives and thus improve their quality of life. Here, we present a system that was developed within the framework of the EU H2020 project IN LIFE to make the elderly feel more secure. The system consists of a smartwatch, a tablet, and a web portal for carers. The smartwatch has several functionalities; the most important are automatic fall...
Catastrophes and accidents could look out for us at every moment leading to unhappy and expensive material damage or worse, to inevitable tragedies. Preventing this kind of events is a must that is taking long sessions of research, tries and development. In most cases, the cheapest and most optimized solution, which makes use of resources economically, is the one that many experts are looking for...
Internet of Things (IoT) services are increasingly deployed at the edge to access and control Things. The execution of such services needs to be monitored to provide information for security, service contract, and system operation management. Although different techniques have been proposed for deploying and executing IoT services in IoT gateways and edge servers, there is a lack of generic policy...
With the growth of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) in cloud computing, and the Internet of Things (IoT), network monitoring of the global infrastructure will continue to expand, as cybersecurity will become of primary importance. Current network monitoring approaches, particularly those that are agent-based, are proprietary, costly, and may not scale. This paper proposes a lightweight, scalable...
As Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) and Industrial and Automation Control System (IACS) architectures became more open and interconnected, some of their remotely controlled processes also became more exposed to cyber threats. Aspects such as the use of mature technologies and legacy equipment or even the unforeseen consequences of bridging IACS with external networks have contributed...
The main objective of this paper is to compare and document low cost open source SCADA options available for remote controlling and monitoring of inverters. To achieve this objective from the client side, interface between inverter and the SCADA has been developed. Three low cost options are being tested and tabulated the paper comparing inherent advantages and disadvantages. From the server side...
In Pakistan, annual occurrence of lifethreatening during the Muhram, Rabiul Awal, Mela, Eid events. There is no mechanism, to control the huge crowed during these events so they are great challenges for security managers to monitor, manage and save the lives of peoples. Saudi Arabia is using gadgets for monitoring the big crowd of pilgrims during hajj event. But security is still a big issue because...
The purpose of this study is to showcase the design and development of a web-enabled home automation system prototype. The unit was developed using low-cost components such as the ubiquitous Arduino microcontroller. One of the features of the developed unit is the ability to monitor the power consumed by electrical loads. The unit also has the ability to control the status of individual loads through...
