In this latest excerpt from the Software Engineering Manual of Style, we look at the difference between cyber threats, vulnerabilities and bugs - three closely related but very different incantations of ultimately, the same thing: risk vectors.
Formal definition of the subjective machine learning process vs. the classical objective randomised, controlled experiment approach.
This is an old one that draws on the work of Dr. Andreas Wiegand, Dr. Andrew Ng and Dr. Sebastien Haneuse which forms the basis of an updated process for modelling and decision making.
The ML process of modelling &...
Security is holistic not heuristic. The Pillars of Information Security (Figure 11) are such that they form a continuum, whereby, one cannot have one without its predecessors. For example, Accountability is of no use without Authenticity. Further, Authentication now includes four factors: Something your HAVE, ARE, KNOW & DO.
NB: This pre-print ext...
The Software Engineering Standard Model combines an update to the SDLC, expands on functional testing to meet more contemporary practices, introduces an object oriented view of attack surface, properly illustrates use-case driven development and adds touch points so we can start to integrate information security into software engineering.
NB: This...
Public domain patent which describes (amongst other things), method of joining two tables containing data drawn from the same stochastic process that don't share a join key, but do share metric(s) which might be used to join the two tables.
Well cited by USPTO as prior art.
A 100-page normative reference on how to build an ad-server with post-click tracking for the management & measurement of digital advertising.
