peer-evaluation (will be discussed later)– Survey (please indicate each person’s contribution in the

survey paper)– Research findings (evaluation based on your novelty, and

contribution)

Research Paper

• Small team -- at most four students per group• Important Dates– Team Proposal due: May/5/14 (The first will have the

priority) – Presentation Schedule fixed: May/5/14– First Presentation: May/12/14– Final submission due: one week after last week’s class

• The instructor will be available to discuss your topic via email or face-to-face discussion (by appointment)

• You should start thinking about team and topic now– Send email to me and TA

9

Paper Presentation

• Each group presents 2~3 papers depending on the technical difficulty of the presented papers (two persons on the same paper).

• We have 20 papers to discuss. (each class for 4 papers, eight persons involved)

10

Presenter’s Preparation

• Please prepare your presentation slides. • You have 25-30 minutes for your

presentation. Please expect questions after one person’s presentation. Your presentation will be graded based on the criteria in the grading form, which can be downloaded from our course website.

11

Peer Evaluation

• Your participation in grading is required. • Your presentation score will be determined by the

evaluations from the instructor (45%), the peer evaluation from the audience (45%), and your participation in grading other students' presentations (10%).

• Please print the evaluation form and hand in the form after the class. All your evaluations will be kept as confidential.

12

Peer Evaluation (Cont’d)

• The highest and lowest peer evaluation scores will be deleted and the average of the remaining scores will be used as your final peer evaluation score.

• For example, if your peer evaluation scores from audience are 100, 99, 15, 87, 85, 77, 90. The highest score 100 is discarded and the lowest score 15 is also discarded. Your peer evaluation final score is the average of the remaining scores, which is 87.6

• If you have multiple identical highest/lowest scores, only one will be deleted.

A Brief Review of Basic Security Concepts

30

Security Objectives

31

Secrecy(Confidentiality)

Integrity Availability(Denial of Service)

Security Objectives

• Secrecy — Prevent/detect/deter improper disclosure of information

• Integrity — Prevent/detect/deter improper modification of information

• Availability — Prevent/detect/deter improper denial of access to services provided by the system

32

Commercial Example

• Secrecy — An employee should not know the salary of his manager

• Integrity — An employee should not be able to modify the employee's own salary

• Availability — Paychecks should be printed on time as stipulated by law

3304/20/23

Military Example• Secrecy — The target coordinates of a missile

should not be improperly disclosed• Integrity — The target coordinates of a missile

should not be improperly modified• Availability — When the proper command is

issued the missile should fire

3404/20/23

A Fourth Objective

• Securing computing resources — Prevent/detect/deter improper use of computing resources including– Hardware Resources– Software resources– Data resources– Network resources

35

Security Mechanisms

• In general three types– Prevention – Detection– Tolerance

36

Good prevention and detection both require good authentication as a foundation

Good prevention and detection both require good authentication as a foundation

04/20/23

Security Services• Security functions are typically made available to users as

a set of security services through APIs or integrated interfaces

• Confidentiality: protection of any information from being exposed to unintended entities.– Information content.– Parties involved.– how they communicate, how often, etc.

• Authentication: assurance that an entity of concern or the origin of a communication is authentic - it’s what it claims to be or from

• Integrity: assurance that the information has not been tampered with

3704/20/23

Security Services (Cont’d)

• Non-repudiation: offer of evidence that a party is indeed the sender or a receiver of certain information

• Access control: facilities to determine and enforce who is allowed access to what resources, hosts, software, network connections

• Monitor & response: facilities for monitoring security attacks, generating indications, surviving (tolerating) and recovering from attacks

3804/20/23

Security Assurance

• How well your security mechanisms guarantee your security policy

• Everyone wants high assurance• High assurance implies high cost– May not be possible

• Trade-off is needed

3904/20/23

Security Tradeoffs

40

Security Functionality

Ease of Use

COST

04/20/23

Security by Obscurity

• Security by obscurity– If we hide the inner workings of a system it will be

secure• More and more applications open their

standards (e.g., TCP/IP, 802.11)• Widespread computer knowledge and

expertise

4104/20/23

Security by Legislation

• Security by legislation says that if we instruct our users on how to behave we can secure our systems

• For example– Users should not share passwords– Users should not write down passwords– Users should not type in their password when someone is

looking over their shoulder• User awareness and cooperation is important, but

cannot be the principal focus for achieving security

4204/20/23

Threat-Vulnerability

• Threats — Possible attacks on the system• Vulnerabilities — Weaknesses that may be

exploited to cause loss or harm

4304/20/23

Threat Model and Attack Model

• Threat model and attack model need to be clarified before any security mechanism is developed

• Threat model– Assumptions about potential attackers– Describes the attacker’s capabilities

• Attack model– Assumptions about the attacks– Describe how attacks are launched
