The Post-Quantum Cryptography
Safe digital communication for organizations and individuals is protected online by using cryptography, whether making an online purchase from a favorite online store or sending an email to a friend or colleague. Imagine the impact if cybercriminals could break the cryptographic algorithms used to encrypt all our banking, medical information and history, or any sensitive data we use in our day-to-day digital life.
Modeling & Simulation: Battle Readiness in a Virtual World
As the world becomes more complex, the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) faces a range of challenges that demands innovative solutions. One tool that has proven invaluable in this regard is modeling and simulation (M&S)—the process of creating a representation of a system or process and then using that representation to explore and test different scenarios.
Dark Net Usage for Countries in Conflict
For many, the “dark web” harbors a stigma. After the rise of notorious “dark net markets” like “Silk Road” and “AlphaBay” in the early 2010s, pop culture has come to equate the “dark web” with illegality and contraband.
Improving the U.S. Air Force’s Cyber Defense Strategy
April 2007 marks the month when the internet became weaponized [1]. In Estonia’s capital city of Tallinn, the government decided to move a bronze statue of a Russian soldier from the city center to a war memorial cemetery on the outskirts of town (Figure 1). They wanted to move the statue during the 60th anniversary of its erection in 1947, which memorialized the sacrifices of Russian soldiers liberating eastern Europe from the Nazis.
A Defense-In-Depth and Layered Approach to Software Supply Chain Security
In this article, we will discuss the confluence and utility of using software supply chain (SSC)-focused frameworks (The Updated Framework [TUF] and the in-toto framework), combined with behavioral approaches using artificial intelligence (AI) aligned with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework (CSF), to generate a truly comprehensive approach for SSC security [1]. Such a “defense-in-depth” approach recognizes that these frameworks by themselves fall short of addressing the guidelines for the integrity of SSCs.
