In this chapter we present an empirically-based theory-independent framework of online radicalization. The framework provides a systematic basis for (a) the representation of causal mechanisms of online radicalization and (b) the identification of radicalized individuals. Its application lies in informing models of online radicalization, guiding the formulation of policies, and identifying gaps in our current knowledge of online radicalization.

Every day, people interact with numerous computer systems, networks, and services that require the exchange of sensitive data. However, the Internet is a highly distributed system operated by many different entities and as such should not be trusted by end users. Users, whether consumers or businesses, retain no control over how their information is routed among the many networks that comprise the Internet. Therefore, there is a strong need for cryptographic protocols to authenticate, verify trust, and establish a secure channel for exchanging data. This chapter presents a series of projects and demonstrations for systems and networking professionals who want to increase their comprehension of security concepts and protocols. The material presented here is derived from existing courses taught by the authors in the areas of cryptography, network security, and wireless security.

Nowadays, cybersecurity makes headlines across the media and in companies, blogs, social networks, among other places. The Internet is a wild cyberspace, an arena for commercialization, consumerism, business, and leisure, to name a few activities. Networks, populations, and nations around the world, now interconnected through the Internet, rely on it for their daily lives. But some Internet users have learned to take advantage of vulnerable systems and of Internet technologies for their own good, sending out spam, phishing, data breaches, botnets, and other threats. An underground criminal network has emerged, creating complex malware kits for several purposes. “Hacktivism” has become a popular term with many supporters worldwide, but cyberwarfare is now on the rise, gaining more and more attention from nation-states. This chapter provides a quick overview of these topics, discussing them in a timely manner, referencing key events from the past while focusing on the present day.

This chapter discusses the problematic intersection of risk management, mission assurance, security, and information systems through the illustrative example of the United States (US) Department of Defense (DoD). A concise history of systems security engineering (SSE) is provided with emphasis on recent revitalization efforts. Next, a review of established and emerging SSE methods, processes, and tools (MPT) frequently used to assess and manage critical shortfalls in the development and fielding of complex information-centric systems is provided. From this review, a common theme emerges—the need for a holistic multidisciplinary approach that addresses people, processes, and technologies to manage system complexity, while providing cost-effective security solutions through the use of established systems engineering techniques. Multiple cases and scenarios that promote the discovery and shared understanding of security solutions for complex systems by those trained in the art and science of systems engineering, information security, and risk management are demonstrated.

This chapter introduces natural language information assurance and security (NL IAS), a new front in information security effort enabled by applying the Ontological Semantics approach to natural language processing to the existing and new applications. It reviews the earlier (1999–2004) application implementations, their increasing and expanding computational semantic foundations, and new advances (2010–2013). The thrust of the chapter is that access to comprehensive natural language meaning—incrementally approximating human understanding and based on the dedicated semantic resources, the language independent property rich ontology, and language-specific lexicons—is necessary for the design and implementation of high precision applications in authenticating and protecting natural language files.

Cyber-terrorism is common nowadays. There is a complex network of private and public organizations used in supervising the Internet. Even so, the complexity of the system is leading to an increase in the response time due to various bottlenecks in relation to information flow. As a result, a paradigm shift in security auditing in cyberspace is required. An approach based on intelligent agents may decrease the time needed to gather and process the basic information. A multi-agent system with the goal of helping the user, the security expert, and the security officer is presented in this chapter. The system will process local knowledge databases as well as external information provided by social networks, news feeds, and other forms of published information available on the Internet. An executive summary will be automatically generated and presented to the security chief of the organization using the system. Also, the system may provide advice to ordinary users when disputable decisions regarding computing node security must be made.

Access control comprises a central concept in ICT security, leveraged for the protection of various resources, including systems, networks, applications, services, corporate assets, and information. It has also emerged as an important mechanism for the protection of personal data, resulting in a family of models referred to as privacy-aware access control. Due to the increasing complexity of the ICT ecosystem, various approaches have been proposed with the aim to provide expressive access control models and, in this context, Semantic Web technologies have also been leveraged. This chapter investigates the application of Semantic Web technologies in access control, highlighting the main trends in the area and outlining the most characteristic approaches.

In order to increase the accuracy of intrusion detection rate and reduce the false alarm rate for cyber-security analysis, attack correlation has become an indispensable component in most intrusion detection systems. However, traditional intrusion detection techniques often fail to handle the complex and uncertain network attack correlation tasks. We propose the creation of semantic networks that build relationships among network attacks and assist in automatically identifying and predicting related attacks. Also, our method can increase the precision in detecting probable attacks. Experimental results show that our semantic network, using the Anderberg similarity measure, performs better in terms of precision and recall compared to existing correlation approaches in the cyber-security domain.

The need for well-trained Information Security and Assurance (ISA) professionals, as well as general information security awareness, has increased considerably in the last decade and shows no sign of slowing. To address this need, both industry and academia have been driven to innovative approaches. The use of digital games and game mechanics to further education has received growing attention and respect in the last several years. There is strong evidence that thoughtful employment of gaming elements can improve motivation and understanding. This paper provides a broad background on the topics of game-based learning, gamification, and serious games. Further, it describes our ongoing approach to developing and promoting digital games for information security awareness, including two game designs and a gamification system architecture.

The use of cyberspace to disseminate radical materials and messages has become the predominant method used by extremists to recruit and radicalize individuals to their cause. The phenomenon of online radicalization is increasing, presenting pressing security concerns. In direct response to the emerging threats and risks arising from online radicalization, global efforts are being made to monitor and disrupt contemporary cyber avenues of terrorist recruitment. Individuals, particularly young computer-literate males, are becoming self-radicalized through access to sophisticated online materials promoting and justifying extreme views and actions. The detection of these self-radicalized individuals is challenging. This chapter outlines a computational approach based on Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCMs) for the identification of radicalized individuals online. The model aims to inform and support the classification of individual profiles to tackle terrorist activities in the future.

Memory errors, such as stack and integer vulnerabilities, still rank among the top most dangerous software security issues. Existing protection techniques, like Address Space Layout Randomization and Stack-Smashing Protection, prevent potential intrusions by crashing applications when anomalous behaviors are detected. Unfortunately, typical networking server architectures, such those used on Web servers ones, limit the effectiveness of such countermeasures. Since memory error exploits usually rely on highly specific processor characteristics, the same exploit rarely works on different hardware architectures. This paper proposes a novel strategy to thwart memory error exploitation by dynamically changing, upon crash detection, the variant executing the networking server. Required software diversification among variants is obtained using off-the-shelf cross-compilation suites, whereas hardware diversification relies on processor emulation. The proposed case study shows the feasibility and effectiveness of the approach to reduce the likelihood, and in some cases even prevent the possibility, of exploiting memory errors.

In this chapter we propose a method for the extraction of data from network flow and a contextual separation of partial connections, using a set of network metrics that create a signature defining the connection behavior. We begin with defining the input dataset of captured communication and the process of extracting metrics from separated connections. Then we define the set of metrics included in the final behavioral signature. The second part of the chapter describes experiments performed with a state-of-the-art set of network metrics, with comparison to our proposed experimental set. The chapter concludes with the results of our experiments.

Advances in Web technologies have brought about a massive increase in online businesses, but security has significantly lagged behind. We and others argue that governments can and should play a major role in providing a reliable and secure environment for online businesses because they have a major stake in growing the economy. Our finding from previous research indicates that security is usually overlooked; it comes as an afterthought or is perceived from a purely technical dimension. This study attempts to describe and analyze the current role of the government of Jordan in facilitating the security of e-business. Our starting premise is that governments should recognize the full range of socio-technical implications that security may have on the adoption of e-business. This can be achieved by understanding the real security needs and concerns of the various stakeholders at the different e-business stages and then aligning them to its policy and plans. Moreover, we argue that in order for the government to be an effective partner in developing a secure e-business environment, legislating laws and regulations is insufficient; instead, governments must increase security education and awareness, ensure compliance with security standards and regulations, and protect the country’s critical ICT infrastructure.

Information security has become a key issue. Human resources, including all people working with information technology, play a significant role in information security issues. The key factor for human resources in relation to information security is awareness about threats, challenges, and risks lurking in the information exchange environment. Improving staff awareness of information security should be one of the significant, permanent goals in an organization’s information security policies. This chapter investigates information security awareness in terms of knowledge, attitude, and behavior. Research was carried out using a survey method. To evaluate the information security awareness of staff, we developed nine components. Seven independent variables—gender, education level, IT awareness, working experience, occupation, field, and job category—were also selected for developing the conceptual model. Results showed that, among the investigated variables, gender, IT awareness, occupation field, and job category had significant correlations to information security awareness.
