Abstract
In today’s steadily mutable era, threats and hazards are increasingly expanding. In addition to terrorism, asymmetric conflicts and social unrest are endangering international security while technological knowledge and defensive tools symmetrically respond. With this interpretation, it appears clear that the investigative methods require thorough scientific support if they are to be a tool for investigation as well as for decision-making. In contrast, recent worldwide accidents such as the 2001 Twin Towers attack on September 11 in New York City have revealed a lack of intelligence, which cannot be fixed without acknowledging the fundamental value of the human intelligence (HUMINT) contribution. In order to face these issues, it is relevant to characterize the key aspects that allow a suitable interaction among the highly technological geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) and the traditional HUMINT activities, with the goal to design the main procedures for a crucial collaboration.
期刊介绍:
As information technology and the Internet become more and more ubiquitous and pervasive in our daily lives, there is an essential need for a more thorough understanding of information security and privacy issues and concerns. The International Journal of Information Security and Privacy (IJISP) creates and fosters a forum where research in the theory and practice of information security and privacy is advanced. IJISP publishes high quality papers dealing with a wide range of issues, ranging from technical, legal, regulatory, organizational, managerial, cultural, ethical and human aspects of information security and privacy, through a balanced mix of theoretical and empirical research articles, case studies, book reviews, tutorials, and editorials. This journal encourages submission of manuscripts that present research frameworks, methods, methodologies, theory development and validation, case studies, simulation results and analysis, technological architectures, infrastructure issues in design, and implementation and maintenance of secure and privacy preserving initiatives.
