      Current-state opacity formulations in probabilistic finite automata 

      Saboori, A.; Hadjicostis, Christoforos N. (2014)
      A system is said to be current-state opaque if the entrance of the system state to a set of secret states remains opaque (uncertain) to an intruder - at least until the system leaves the set of secret states. This notion ...

      Opacity verification in stochastic discrete event systems 

      Saboori, A.; Hadjicostis, Christoforos N. (2010)
      Motivated by security and privacy considerations in applications of discrete event systems, various notions of opacity have been introduced. Specifically, a system is said to be current-state opaque if the entrance of the ...

      A survey on secure multipath routing protocols in WSNs 

      Stavrou, Eliana; Pitsillides, Andreas (2010)
      Routing protocols in wireless sensor networks (WSN) have been substantially investigated by researches. Most state-of-the-art surveys have focused on reviewing the different routing schemes that have been proposed for WSN ...

      Using argumentation logic for firewall configuration management 

      Bandara, A. K.; Kakas, Antonis C.; Lupu, E. C.; Russo, A. (2009)
      Firewalls remain the main perimeter security protection for corporate networks. However, network size and complexity make firewall configuration and maintenance notoriously difficult. Tools are needed to analyse firewall ...

      Using argumentation logic for firewall policy specification and analysis 

      Bandara, A. K.; Kakas, Antonis C.; Lupu, E. C.; Russo, A. (2006)
      Firewalls are important perimeter security mechanisms that imple-ment an organisation's network security requirements and can be notoriously difficult to configure correctly. Given their widespread use, it is crucial that ...

      Verification of infinite-step opacity and complexity considerations 

      Saboori, A.; Hadjicostis, Christoforos N. (2012)
      We describe and analyze the complexity of verifying the notion of infinite-step opacity in systems that are modeled as non-deterministic finite automata with partial observation on their transitions. Specifically, a system ...

      Verification of initial-state opacity in security applications of discrete event systems 

      Saboori, A.; Hadjicostis, Christoforos N. (2013)
      In this paper, we formulate and analyze methodologies for verifying the notion of initial-state opacity in discrete event systems that are modeled as non-deterministic finite automata with partial observation on their ...
