These cryptographic coprocessors are theoretically secure but their physical implementations are vulnerable against Side-Channel Attacks (SCA). This paper puts forward a methodology to evaluate the robustness of embedded systems against such attacks and therefore enhance user trust. We propose an evaluation framework composed of five distinct phases which are characterization, simulation, acquisition, pre-processing and analysis. The paper will also highlight common pitfalls made by evaluators and their solutions.","PeriodicalId":228322,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Conference on Technologies for Homeland Security (HST)","volume":"735 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125256196","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Led by the University of Southern Mississippi (USM) as part of the Southeast Region Research Initiative, the project partners have been developing tools and methodologies for use by security personnel and first responders at sports stadiums. ORNL's contribution has been to develop an automated process to gather and organize disparate data that is usually part of an organization's security plan. The organized data informs a table-top exercise (TTX) conducted by USM using additional tools developed by them and their subcontractors. After participating in several pilot TTXs, patterns are beginning to emerge that would enable improvements to be formulated to increase the level of counter-IED preparedness. This paper focuses on the data collection and analysis process and shares insights gained to date.","PeriodicalId":228322,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Conference on Technologies for Homeland Security (HST)","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116608968","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Peter Leed","doi":"10.1109/THS.2011.6107873","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/THS.2011.6107873","url":null,"abstract":"Criterra is a software suite that automatically determines optimum locations and heights in seconds/minutes for security system sensors, and locations for infrastructure and response forces based on dominant mosaic, line-of-sight, time-and-space, Doppler, propagation and other algorithms, executed on a terabyte size 3D geospatial and object database. Inputs include specifications of sensor systems, barriers, and response forces. Criterra is based on a methodology that integrates intelligence and scientific processes to quickly and automatically determine optimum locations that are NOT trial-and error. Criterra Automatically calculates: 1) threat paths and predicted locations, 2) the optimal locations for the minimum number of minimum height sensor towers, mobile sensors, and/or unattended ground sensors, and communication repeater towers to meet detection, surveillance and reconnaissance requirements considering predicted threat locations/levels within area use constraints, and 3) placements for fences, infrastructure and response forces within constraints to accomplish protection and interception with high degrees of confidence. The results are displayed on a visually rich and geospatially accurate 3D map which the user can navigate or use for computational model modifications, redefinition of constraints, and further analysis and planning. Criterra can be used now to support land and maritime border security threat, sensor, infrastructure, and response analysis and geospatial planning; physical security analysis and geospatial planning for protection of airports, seaports, military bases and other critical infrastructure; attack and disaster preparation, recovery, and response planning; and force management and collaboration using 3D maps with results of Criterra analyses as embedded mission data. Criterra performs geospatial analysis to predict threat location at specific times, and provides area use data for CONOPs and risk analysis. Criterra is used in requirements definitions, installations, training, operations, experimentation, and test and evaluation. Criterra can support analysis of small and extremely large areas and catastrophic events. Criterra is a predictive technique for pre-placing mobile or fixed resources; and locating and tasking first responders. It supports situational understanding, information management and data visualization on a 3D geospatially accurate laptop display. Users can use Criterra for information sharing, collaborative decision making and integrated/interoperable decision support where all users are referencing and plotting data on a shared 3D geospatial map. It can support decontamination and restoration strategies, approaches, and sensor placements following WMD events. Facilities, monuments, airports, seaports, transportation infrastructure, land and coastal borders, and ports of entry are all areas where Criterra computational models and Criterra analysis algorithms can be used to determine optimum locati","PeriodicalId":228322,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Conference on Technologies for Homeland Security (HST)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117005003","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Examining the nature of these interactions can greatly assist the enhancement of existing technologies and guide the development of new ones. This interaction is complex, possessing numerous variables that affect potential outcomes. This paper presents the Perception Square Interaction Cube Model (P2I3-Model) to describe these interactions using the system dynamics approach. This model incorporates three participants: the homeland security agency, the attacker, and the real world. The HS-Agency-perception, Attacker-perception, and Real-world submodels respectively characterize these participants. These three interacting sub-models combine to form the system governing the participants' perceptions, behaviors, and actions. The model accepts a set of measurable inputs from the HS agency and produces quantitative outputs to guide the HS agency's protection planning, deployment, and strategic policy revision activities. Simulation results suggest that the probability of attack success from the perspectives of the HS agency and attacker can differ significantly. System uncertainties and intelligence efforts are the central factors influencing these probabilities.","PeriodicalId":228322,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Conference on Technologies for Homeland Security (HST)","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123236357","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Inaccuracy is principally due to the use of smooth bore launchers and aerodynamically unstable projectiles. Moreover, smokeless powder munitions require the use of manually operated weapons, which result in low rates of fire. To achieve higher rates of fire, pneumatic systems have been developed. However, their use is complicated as they require electric, gas, or diesel powered air compressors to refill the empty air bottles generated from use, or the storage and distribution of pre-filled bottles of gas. The weapon systems described here solve these problems. They use a novel solid propellant propulsion system to fire projectiles from rifled barrels. The design of the propulsion system results in far greater accuracy than the current state-of-the-art, consistent terminal effects, and enables semi automatic fires from a mechanically simple and lightweight launcher.","PeriodicalId":228322,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Conference on Technologies for Homeland Security (HST)","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124796812","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper will explain the role of CHANNELS, developed by Mind-Alliance Systems, information sharing planning (ISP) software to achieve enhanced operability and interoperability. CHANNELS supports information-sharing planning, capability assessment and training processes.

Saxon","doi":"10.1109/THS.2011.6107879","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/THS.2011.6107879","url":null,"abstract":"The ability to design effective detection systems is critical to the development of systems to protect against and respond to chemical, biological, and radiological (CBR) attacks. Unfortunately, there are numerous examples of CBR detection systems being designed “in a vacuum,” without full consideration of threat and vulnerability assessments, or the proposed protection strategy and response plans that the detection system must support. The potential negative effects of this approach include systems that are excessively costly in the best case, and systems that fail to deliver the required detection performance while providing a false sense of security in the worst case. The solution to this problem is the application of systems engineering principles. As with any system, the critical foundation for the system design is requirements development. Requirements for CBR detection systems include, but are not limited to, the spectrum of threats to be detected, the required sensitivity and speed of detection for each threat, the allowable false alarm and false negative rates, and operations and maintenance (O&M) needs. The requirements form the basis of system architecture and component selection, and allow trade studies that support an optimal system design. The process continues through detailed system design and integration, and culminates with system commissioning, verification and validation, and O&M planning. This paper presents Battelle's systems engineering approach to CBR detection system design and discusses several aspects of detection systems including: • Similarities and differences between chemical, biological, and radiological detection systems • Difference in requirements for “detect to warn”, “detect to protect”, and “detect to treat” strategies • Detector selection options • Architecture options such as sampling systems to cost-effectively increase coverage or response speed, and use of “orthogonal” detectors or trigger and confirmatory detectors for false alarm reduction Also discussed are the role of modeling in requirements development and system design, as well as the importance of commissioning and testing to effective detection system performance.","PeriodicalId":228322,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Conference on Technologies for Homeland Security (HST)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122010283","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The system employs a metamaterial consisting of quantities of a novel nanotechnical device (size depending on frequency) in random configuration, with tunable electrodynamic and aerodynamic properties, the latter providing correct geometry and intermolecular (van der Waals) adherence of the transponders to a target. The transponder cluster appears as a smudge of dirt to the naked eye and acts to retroreflect a properly-tuned interrogating laser narrowly to its source, with a brightness measured to exceed a sheet of white paper (a perfect Lambertian reflector) by about 10 dB. Unique ID of the target is feasible using a “bar code” in the wavelength or frequency domain and a multi-wavelength interrogation. CSharp is considered ready for engineering and low-rate initial production (LRIP). Present and future applications include homeland security, intelligence and counterintelligence, counterterrorism and law enforcement, as well as defense. Other applications that have been studied but not tested include “smart chaff” with controlled peek-through and aerodynamic dispersion properties, and application to signaling clouds of frequency-selective obscurants.","PeriodicalId":228322,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Conference on Technologies for Homeland Security (HST)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128008413","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
