We are at the beginning of a new age of business, where dynamic interaction is the driving force for whatever kind of business. To draw from a known analogy, “bring your own device” (BYOD) exemplifes the trends of devices accessing processes and information on enterprises. In the upcoming years, not only phones, tablets, and computers will demand a...

Industrial Networks (INs) are widespread environments where heterogeneous devices collaborate to control and monitor physical processes. Some of the controlled processes belong to Critical Infrastructures (CIs), and, as such, IN protection is an active research field. Among different types of security solutions, IN Anomaly Detection Systems (ADSs)...

Process Control Systems (PCSs) are the operating core of Critical Infrastructures (CIs). As such, anomaly detection has been an active research field to ensure CI normal operation. Previous approaches have leveraged network level data for anomaly detection, or have disregarded the existence of process disturbances, thus opening the possibility of m...

The aim of the MANTIS project is to provide a proactive maintenance service platform architecture based on Cyber Physical Systems. The platform will allow estimating future performance, predicting and preventing imminent failures and scheduling proactive maintenance. Maintenance is an important element that creates added value in the business proce...

Malware analysts still need to manually inspect malware samples that are considered suspicious by heuristic rules. They dissect software pieces and look for malware evidence in the code. The increasing number of malicious applications targeting Android devices raises the demand for analyzing them to find where the malcode is triggered when user int...

The European project called Arrowhead addresses efficiency and flexibility at a global scale by means of collaborative automation for several domains. The multi-billion device/service perspective places a very strong demand on the interoperability and integrality of devices and services provided by the multitude of players in the market place. We a...

Las Infraestructuras Críticas (ICs) de hoy en día se basan en las Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicación (TIC). Debido a la simplicidad y al ratio eficiencia-coste de las TIC, los Sistemas de Control y Adquisición de Datos (SCADA) han encontrado su camino en los Sistemas de Control de Procesos (SCPs) mediante el uso de hardware y software est...

Nowadays, it is a well-known fact that modern Critical Infrastructures (CIs) depend on Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems with off-the-shelf ICT hardware and software found their way in Process Control Systems (PCSs) due to their simplicity and cost-efficiency. However, recent...

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) can be used in a broad range of applications from complex military operations to simple domestic environments. This makes security a vital characteristic in WSNs. There have been numerous studies in the field of security in sensor networks, being Intrusion Detection System (IDS) among the most used tools in this area...

n this work a comparison of the SURF and MU-SURF feature descriptor vectors is made. First, the descriptors’ performance is evaluated using a standard data set of general transformed images. This evaluation consists in counting correspondences and correct matches between ten image pairs. Image pairs have different transformations (rotation, scale c...

The security of critical infrastructures is decreasing due to the apparition of new cyber threats against Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems. The evolution they have experienced; the use of standard hardware and software components or the increase of interconnected devices in order to reduce costs and improve efficiency, have...

SHA-3 [3] drives the design and analysis of efficient cryptographic hash functions. This paper foresees to summarise the selection process, its present status and forthcoming events highlighting the main novelties found. Some relevant criteria to compare the different candidates are described and finally special attention is paid to the impact of t...

Neural projection techniques can adaptively map high-dimensional data into a low-dimensional space, for the user-friendly visualization of data collected by different security tools. Such techniques are applied in this study for the visual inspection of honeypot data, which may be seen as a complementary network security tool that sheds light on i...

This paper proposes a novel framework to automatically discover and analyze traffic generated by computer worms and other anomalous behaviors that interact with a non-solicited traffic monitoring system. Network packets are analyzed by an Intrusion Detection System (IDS), and new signatures are generated clustering those which remain unknown for th...

A great variety of well-known attacks exist for the IEEE 802.11 protocol. The lack of mechanisms for management frame authentication and the complexity of the protocol itself have derived into a considerable number of denial of service and identity spoofing attacks. As most denial of service attacks are based on spoofing of MAC addresses, spoofed f...

This paper presents the results of the project MIAU, a data mining approach for intrusion detection alert correlation. MIAU combines different data mining techniques in order to properly solve some existing problems in the management and analysis of alerts generated by actual intrusion detection systems. Some of these data mining methods and their...

Security has traditionally been a subject of intensive research in the area of computing and networking. However, security of embedded systems is often ignored during the design and development period of the product, thus leaving many devices vulnerable to attacks. The growing number of embedded systems today (mobile phones, pay-tv devices, househo...
