  Coordinated sampled listening (CSL) is a standardized medium access control protocol for IEEE 802.15.4 networks. Unfortunately, CSL comes without any protection against so-called denial-of-sleep attacks. Such attacks deprive energy-constrained devices of entering low-power sleep modes, thereby draining their charge. Repercussions of denial-of-sleep attacks include long outages, violated quality-of-service guarantees, and reduced customer satisfaction. However, while CSL has no built-in denial-of-sleep defenses, there already exist denial-of-sleep defenses for a predecessor of CSL, namely ContikiMAC. In this paper, we make two main contributions. First, motivated by the fact that CSL has many advantages over ContikiMAC, we tailor the existing denial-of-sleep defenses for ContikiMAC to CSL. Second, we propose several security enhancements to these existing denial-of-sleep defenses. In effect, our denial-of-sleep defenses for CSL mitigate denial-of-sleep attacks significantly better, as well as protect against a larger range of denial-of-sleep attacks than the existing denial-of-sleep defenses for ContikiMAC.We show the soundness of our denial-of-sleep defenses for CSL both analytically, as well as empirically using a whole new implementation of CSL.

  Battery-powered and energy-harvesting IEEE 802.15.4 nodes are subject to so-called denial-of-sleep attacks. Such attacks generally aim at draining the energy of a victim device. Especially, session key establishment schemes for IEEE 802.15.4 security are susceptible to denial-of-sleep attacks since injected requests for session key establishment typically trigger energy-consuming processing and communication. Nevertheless, Krentz et al.’s Adaptive Key Establishment Scheme (AKES) for IEEE 802.15.4 security is deemed to be resilient to denial-of-sleep attacks thanks to its energy-efficient design and special defenses. However, thus far, AKES’ resilience to denial-of-sleep attacks was presumably never evaluated. In this paper, we make two contributions. First, we evaluate AKES’ resilience to denial-of-sleep attacks both theoretically and empirically. We particularly consider two kinds of denial-of-sleep attacks, namely HELLO flood attacks, as well as what we introduce in this paper as “yo-yo attacks”. Our key finding is that AKES’ denial-of-sleep defenses require trade-offs between denial-of-sleep resilience and the speed at which AKES adapts to topology changes. Second, to alleviate these trade-offs, we devise and evaluate new denial-of-sleep defenses. Indeed, our newly-devised denial-of-sleep defenses turn out to significantly accelerate AKES’ reaction to topology changes, without incurring much overhead nor sacrificing on security.

  Cloud storage brokerage systems abstract cloud storage complexities by mediating technical and business relationships between Cloud Service Providers(CSP) and cloud users, while providing value-added services e.g. increased security, identity management and file sharing/syncing. However, CSBs face several security challenges including enlarged attack surfaces due to integration of disparate components e.g. on-premise and cloud APIs/services. Therefore, appropriate security risk assessment methods are required to identify and evaluate these security issues, and examine the efficiency of countermeasures. A possible approach for satisfying these requirements is employment of threat modeling concepts, which have been successfully applied in traditional paradigms. In this work, we employ threat models including attack trees, attack graphs and Data Flow Diagrams against a representative, real Cloud Storage Broker (CSB) and analyze these security threats and risks. We also propose a technique for combining Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) and Common Configuration Scoring System (CCSS) base scores in probabilistic attack graphs in order to cater for configuration-based vulnerabilities which are typically leveraged to compromise cloud storage systems. This effort is necessary since existing schemes do not provide sufficient security metrics, imperative for comprehensive risk assessments. We demonstrate the efficiency of our proposal by devising CCSS base scores for two common attacks against cloud storage: Cloud Storage Enumeration Attack and Cloud Storage Exploitation Attack. These metrics are then used in Attack Graph Metric-based risk assessment. Therefore, our approach can be employed by CSBs and CSPs to improve cloud security.

  [ BibSonomy-Post ] [ Abstract ] [ BibTeX ] [ Details ]
   
  Generating seeds on Internet of things (IoT) devices is challenging because these devices typically lack common entropy sources, such as user interaction or hard disks. A promising replacement is to use power-up static random-access memory (SRAM) states, which are partly random due to manufacturing deviations. Thus far, there, however, seems to be no method for extracting close-to-uniformly distributed seeds from power-up SRAM states in an information-theoretically secure and practical manner. Moreover, the min-entropy of power-up SRAM states reduces with temperature, thereby rendering this entropy source vulnerable to so-called freezing attacks. In this paper, we mainly make three contributions. First, we propose a new method for extracting uniformly distributed seeds from power-up SRAM states. Unlike current methods, ours is information-theoretically secure, practical, and freezing attack-resistant rolled into one. Second, we point out a trick that enables using power-up SRAM states not only for self-seeding at boot time, but also for reseeding at runtime. Third, we compare the energy consumption of seeding an IoT device either with radio noise or power-up SRAM states. While seeding with power-up SRAM states turned out to be more energy efficient, we argue for mixing both these entropy sources.

  Cloud Native Applications (CNA) consists of multiple collaborating microservice instances working together towards common goals. These microservices leverage the underlying cloud infrastructure to enable several properties such as scalability and resiliency. CNA are complex distributed applications, vulnerable to several security issues affecting microservices and traditional cloud-based applications. For example, each microservice instance could be developed with different technologies e.g. programming languages and databases. This diversity of technologies increases the chances for security vulnerabilities in microservices. Moreover, the fast-paced development cycles of CNA increases the probability of insufficient security tests in the development pipelines, and consequent deployment of vulnerable microservices. Furthermore, cloud native environments are ephemeral, microservices are dynamically launched and de-registered, this factor creates a discoverability challenge for traditional security assessment techniques. Hence, security assessments in such environments require new approaches which are specifically adapted and integrated to CNA. In fact, such techniques are to be cloud native i.e. well integrated into the cloud’s fabric. In this paper, we tackle the above-mentioned challenges through the introduction of a novel Security Control concept - the Security Gateway. To support the Security Gateway concept, two other concepts are proposed: dynamic document store and security health endpoints.We have implemented these concepts using cloud native design patterns and integrated them into the CNA workflow. Our experimental evaluations validate the efficiency of our proposals, the time overhead due to the security gateway is minimal and the vulnerability detection rate surpasses that of traditional security assessment approaches. Our proposal can therefore be employed to secure CNA and microservice-based implementations.

  802.15.4 security protects against the replay, injection, and eavesdropping of 802.15.4 frames. A core concept of 802.15.4 security is the use of frame counters for both nonce generation and anti-replay protection. While being functional, frame counters (i) cause an increased energy consumption as they incur a per-frame overhead of 4 bytes and (ii) only provide sequential freshness. The Last Bits (LB) optimization does reduce the per-frame overhead of frame counters, yet at the cost of an increased RAM consumption and occasional energy- and time-consuming resynchronization actions. Alternatively, the timeslotted channel hopping (TSCH) media access control (MAC) protocol of 802.15.4 avoids the drawbacks of frame counters by replacing them with timeslot indices, but findings of Yang et al. question the security of TSCH in general. In this paper, we assume the use of ContikiMAC, which is a popular asynchronous MAC protocol for 802.15.4 networks. Under this assumption, we propose an Intra-Layer Optimization for 802.15.4 Security (ILOS), which intertwines 802.15.4 security and ContikiMAC. In effect, ILOS reduces the security-related per-frame overhead even more than the LB optimization, as well as achieves strong freshness. Furthermore, unlike the LB optimization, ILOS neither incurs an increased RAM consumption nor requires resynchronization actions. Beyond that, ILOS integrates with and advances other security supplements to ContikiMAC. We implemented ILOS using OpenMotes and the Contiki operating system.

  This paper discusses a new approach for designing and deploying Security-as-a-Service (SecaaS) applications using cloud native design patterns. Current SecaaS approaches do not efficiently handle the increasing threats to computer systems and applications. For example, requests for security assessments drastically increase after a high-risk security vulnerability is disclosed. In such scenarios, SecaaS applications are unable to dynamically scale to serve requests. A root cause of this challenge is employment of architectures not specifically fitted to cloud environments. Cloud native design patterns resolve this challenge by enabling certain properties e.g. massive scalability and resiliency via the combination of microservice patterns and cloud-focused design patterns. However adopting these patterns is a complex process, during which several security issues are introduced. In this work, we investigate these security issues, we redesign and deploy a monolithic SecaaS application using cloud native design patterns while considering appropriate, layered security counter-measures i.e. at the application and cloud networking layer. Our prototype implementation out-performs traditional, monolithic applications with an average Scanner Time of 6 minutes, without compromising security. Our approach can be employed for designing secure, scalable and performant SecaaS applications that effectively handle unexpected increase in security assessment requests.

  IoT devices usually are battery-powered and directly connected to the Internet. This makes them vulnerable to so-called path-based denial-of-service (PDoS) attacks. For example, in a PDoS attack an adversary sends multiple Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) messages towards an IoT device, thereby causing each IoT device along the path to expend energy for forwarding this message. Current end-to-end security solutions, such as DTLS or IPsec, fail to prevent such attacks since they only filter out inauthentic CoAP messages at their destination. This demonstration shows an approach to allow en-route filtering where a trusted gateway has all necessary information to check the integrity, decrypt and, if necessary, drop a message before forwarding it to the constrained mote. Our approach preserves precious resources of IoT devices in the face of path-based denial-of-service attacks by remote attackers.

It can be reached by the way of analysis and visualization of geotagged data that can help to better understand the situation around and to detect local geo-spatial threats. One of the challenges in the way of reaching this goal is providing valuable statistics and advanced methods for filtering data. Therefore, in the scope of this paper, we collect sufficient amount of public social geotagged data from Twitter, build different valuable statistics and analyze them. Also, we try to find valuable parameters and propose the useful filters based on these parameters that can filter data from invaluable data and, by this way, support analysis of geotagged data from the perspective of providing situational awareness.

  Efforts towards improving security in cloud infrastructures recommend regulatory compliance approaches such as HIPAA and PCI DSS. Similarly, vulnerability assessments are imperatives for fulfilling these regulatory compliance requirements. Nevertheless, conducting vulnerability assessments in cloud environments requires approaches different from those found in traditional computing. Factors such as multi-tenancy, elasticity, self-service and cloud-specific vulnerabilities must be considered. Furthermore, the Anything-as-a-Service model of the cloud stimulates security automation and user-intuitive services. In this paper, we tackle the challenge of efficient vulnerability assessments at the system level, in particular for core cloud applications.Within this scope, we focus on the use case of a cloud administrator. We believe the security of the underlying cloud software is crucial to the overall health of a cloud infrastructure since these are the foundations upon which other applications within the cloud function. We demonstrate our approach using OpenStack and through our experiments prove that our prototype implementation is effective at identifying “OpenStacknative” vulnerabilities. We also automate the process of identifying insecure configurations in the cloud and initiate steps for deploying Vulnerability Assessment-as-a-Service in OpenStack.

  Nowadays, social networks are an essential part of modern life. People posts everything what happens with them and what happens around them. The amount of data, producing by social networks, increases dramatically every year and users more often post geo-tagged messages. It gives us more possibilities for visualization and analysis of social data, since we can be interested not only in the content of the message but also in the location, from where this message was posted. We aimed to use public social data from location-based social networks to improve situational awareness. In the paper, we show our approach of handling in real-time geodata from Twitter and providing the advanced methods for visualization, analysis, searching and statistics, in order to improve situational awareness.

  The detection of vulnerabilities in computer systems and computer networks as well as the representation of the results are crucial problems. The presented method tackles the problem with an automated detection and an intuitive representation. For detecting vulnerabilities the approach uses a logical representation of preconditions and postconditions of vulnerabilities. Thus an automated analytical function could detect security leaks on a target system. The gathered information is used to provide security advisories and enhanced diagnostics for the system. Additionally the conditional structure allows us to create attack graphs to visualize the network structure and the integrated vulnerability information. Finally we propose methods to resolve the identified weaknesses whether to remove or update vulnerable applications and secure the target system. This advisories are created automatically and provide possible solutions for the security risks.

  Security issues are still prevalent in cloud computing particularly public cloud. Efforts by Cloud Service Providers to secure out-sourced resources are not sufficient to gain trust from customers. Service Level Agreements (SLAs) are currently used to guarantee security and privacy, however research into SLAs monitoring suggests levels of dissatisfaction from cloud users. Accordingly, enterprises favor private clouds such as OpenStack as they offer more control and security visibility. However, private clouds do not provide absolute security, they share some security challenges with public clouds and eliminate other challenges. Security metrics based approaches such as quantitative security assessments could be adopted to quantify security value of private and public clouds. Software quantitative security assessments provide extensive visibility into security postures and help assess whether or not security has improved or deteriorated. In this paper we focus on private cloud security using OpenStack as a case study, we conduct a quantitative assessment of OpenStack based on empirical data. Our analysis is multi-faceted, covering OpenStack major releases and services. We employ security metrics to determine the vulnerability density, vulnerability severity metrics and patching behavior. We show that OpenStack’s security has improved since inception, however concerted efforts are imperative for secure deployments, particularly in production environments.

  Vulnerability scanners are deployed in computer networks and software to timely identify security flaws and misconfigurations. However, cloud computing has introduced new attack vectors that requires commensurate change of vulnerability assessment strategies. To investigate the effectiveness of these scanners in cloud environments, we first conduct a quantitative security assessment of OpenStack’s vulnerability lifecycle and discover severe risk levels resulting from prolonged patch release duration. More specifically, there are long time lags between OpenStack patch releases and patch inclusion in vulnerability scanning engines. This scenario introduces sufficient time for malicious actions and creation of exploits such as zero-days. Mitigating these concern requires systems with current knowledge on events within the vulnerability lifecycle. However, current vulnerability scanners are designed to depend on information about publicly announced vulnerabilities which mostly includes only vulnerability disclosure dates. Accordingly, we propose a framework that would mitigate these risks by gathering and correlating information from several security information sources including exploit databases, malware signature repositories and Bug Tracking Systems. The information is thereafter used to automatically generate plugins armed with current information about zero-day exploits and unknown vulnerabilities. We have characterized two new security metrics to describe the discovered risks

  [ BibSonomy-Post ] [ Abstract ] [ BibTeX ] [ Details ]
   
  Nowadays, malicious user behaviour that does not trigger access violation or alert of data leak is difficult to be detected. Using the stolen login credentials the intruder doing espionage will first try to stay undetected: silently collect data from the company network and use only resources he is authorised to access. To deal with such cases, a Poisson-based anomaly detection algorithm is proposed in this paper. Two extra measures make it possible to achieve high detection rates and meanwhile reduce number of false positive alerts: (1) checking probability first for the group, and then for single users and (2) selecting threshold automatically. To prove the proposed approach, we developed a special simulation testbed that emulates user behaviour in the virtual network environment. The proof-of-concept implementation has been integrated into our prototype of a SIEM system — Real-time Event Analysis and Monitoring System, where the emulated Active Directory logs from Microsoft Windows domain are extracted and normalised into Object Log Format for further processing and anomaly detection. The experimental results show that our algorithm was able to detect all events related to malicious activity and produced zero false positive results. Forethought as the module for our self-developed SIEM system based on the SAP HANA in-memory database, our solution is capable of processing high volumes of data and shows high efficiency on experimental dataset.

  In the existing cloud brokerage system, the client does not have the ability to verify the result of the cloud service selection. There are possibilities that the cloud broker can be biased in selecting the best Cloud Service Provider (CSP) for a client. A compromised or dishonest cloud broker can unfairly select a CSP for its own advantage by cooperating with the selected CSP. To address this problem, we propose a mechanism to verify the CSP selection result of the cloud broker. In this verification mechanism, properties of every CSP will also be verified. It uses a trusted third party to gather clustering result from the cloud broker. This trusted third party is also used as a base station to collect CSP properties in a multi-agents system. Software Agents are installed and running on every CSP. The CSP is monitored by agents as the representative of the customer inside the cloud. These multi-agents give reports to a third party that must be trusted by CSPs, customers and the Cloud Broker. The third party provides transparency by publishing reports to the authorized parties (CSPs and Customers).

  Modern machine learning techniques have been applied to many aspects of network analytics in order to discover patterns that can clarify or better demonstrate the behavior of users and systems within a given network. Often the information to be processed has to be converted to a different type in order for machine learning algorithms to be able to process them. To accurately process the information generated by systems within a network, the true intention and meaning behind the information must be observed. In this paper we propose different approaches for mapping network information such as IP addresses to integer values that attempts to keep the relation present in the original format of the information intact. With one exception, all of the proposed mappings result in (at most) 64 bit long outputs in order to allow atomic operations using CPUs with 64 bit registers. The mapping output size is restricted in the interest of performance. Additionally we demonstrate the benefits of the new mappings for one specific machine learning algorithm (k-means) and compare the algorithm's results for datasets with and without the proposed transformations.

  The boundary devices, such as routers, firewalls, proxies, and domain controllers, etc., are continuously generating logs showing the behaviors of the internal and external users, the working state of the network as well as the devices themselves. To rapidly and efficiently analyze these logs makes great sense in terms of security and reliability. However, it is a challenging task due to the fact that a huge amount of data might be generated for being analyzed in very short time. In this paper, we address this challenge by applying complex analytics and modern in-memory database technology on the large amount of log data. Logs from different kinds of devices are collected, normalized, and stored in the In-Memory database. Machine learning approaches are then implemented to analyze the centralized big data to identify attacks and anomalies which are not easy to be detected from the individual log event. The proposed method is implemented on the In-Memory platform, i.e., SAP HANA Platform, and the experimental results show that it has the expected capabilities as well as the high performance.

  For testing new methods of network security or new algorithms of security analytics, we need the experimental environments as well as the testing data which are much as possible similar to the real-world data. Therefore, the researchers are always trying to find the best approaches and recommendations of creating and simulating testbeds, because the issue of automation of the testbed creation is a crucial goal to accelerate research progress. One of the ways to generate data is simulate the user behavior on the virtual machines, but the challenge is how to describe what we want to simulate. In this paper, we present a new approach of describing user behavior for the simulation tool. This approach meets requirements of simplicity and extensibility.

  Nowadays, we have a lot of data produced by social media services, but more and more often these data contain information about a location that gives us the wide range of possibilities to analyze them. Since we can be interested not only in the content, but also in the location where this content was produced. For good analyzing geo-spatial data, we need to find the best approaches for geo clustering. And the best approach means real-time clustering of massive geodata with high accuracy. In this paper, we present a new approach of clustering geodata for online maps, such as Google Maps, OpenStreetMap and others. Clustered geodata based on their location improve visual analysis of them and improve situational awareness. Our approach is the server-side online algorithm that does not need the entire data to start clustering. Also, this approach works in real-time and could be used for clustering of massive geodata for online maps in reasonable time. We implemented the proposed approach to prove the concept, and also, we provided experiments and evaluation of our approach.

  Modern Security Information and Event Management systems should be capable to store and process high amount of events or log messages in different formats and from different sources. This requirement often prevents such systems from usage of computational-heavy algorithms for security analysis. To deal with this issue, we built our system based on an in-memory data base with an integrated machine learning library, namely SAP HANA. Three approaches, i.e. (1) deep normalisation of log messages (2) storing data in the main memory and (3) running data analysis directly in the database, allow us to increase processing speed in such a way, that machine learning analysis of security events becomes possible nearly in real-time. To prove our concepts, we measured the processing speed for the developed system on the data generated using Active Directory tested and showed the efficiency of our approach for high-speed analysis of security events.

  An important technique for attack detection in complex company networks is the analysis of log data from various network components. As networks are growing, the number of produced log events increases dramatically, sometimes even to multiple billion events per day. The analysis of such big data highly relies on a full normalization of the log data in realtime. Until now, the important issue of full normalization of a large number of log events is only insufficiently handled by many software solutions and not well covered in existing research work. In this paper, we propose and evaluate multiple approaches for handling the normalization of a large number of typical logs better and more efficient. The main idea is to organize the normalization in multiple levels by using a hierarchical knowledge base (KB) of normalization rules. In the end, we achieve a performance gain of about 1000x with our presented approaches, in comparison to a naive approach typically used in existing normalization solutions. Considering this improvement, big log data can now be handled much faster and can be used to find and mitigate attacks in realtime.

  The detection of vulnerabilities in computer systems and computer networks as well as the weakness analysis are crucial problems. The presented method tackles the problem with an automated detection. For identifying vulnerabilities the approach uses a logical representation of preconditions and postconditions of vulnerabilities. The conditional structure simulates requirements and impacts of each vulnerability. Thus an automated analytical function could detect security leaks on a target system based on this logical format. With this method it is possible to scan a system without much expertise, since the automated or computer-aided vulnerability detection does not require special knowledge about the target system. The gathered information is used to provide security advisories and enhanced diagnostics which could also detect attacks that exploit multiple vulnerabilities of the system.

  The current increase in software vulnerabilities necessitates concerted research in vulnerability lifecycles and how effective mitigative approaches could be implemented. This is especially imperative in cloud infrastructures considering the novel attack vectors introduced by this emerging computing paradigm. By conducting a quantitative security assessment of OpenStack’s vulnerability lifecycle, we discovered severe risk levels resulting from prolonged gap between vulnerability discovery and patch release. We also observed an additional time lag between patch release and patch inclusion in vulnerability scanning engines. This scenario introduces sufficient time for malicious actors to develop zero-days exploits and other types of malicious software. Mitigating these concerns requires systems with current knowledge on events within the vulnerability lifecycle. However, current threat mitigation systems like vulnerability scanners are designed to depend on information from public vulnerability repositories which mostly do not retain comprehensive information on vulnerabilities. Accordingly, we propose a framework that would mitigate the afore-mentioned risks by gathering and correlating information from several security information sources including exploit databases, malware signature repositories, Bug Tracking Systems and other channels. These information is thereafter used to automatically generate plugins armed with current information about possible zeroday exploits and other unknown vulnerabilities. We have characterized two new security metrics to describe the discovered risks, Scanner Patch Time and Scanner Patch Discovery Time

  Vulnerability assessments are best practices for computer security and requirements for regulatory compliance. Potential and existing security holes can be identified during vulnerability assessments and security breaches could be averted. However, the unique nature of cloud computing environments requires more dynamic assessment techniques. The proliferation of cloud services and cloud-aware applications introduce more cloud vulnerabilities. But, current measures for identification, mitigation and prevention of cloud vulnerabilities do not suffice. Our investigations indicate a possible reason for this inefficiency to lapses in availability of precise, cloud vulnerability information. We observed also that most research efforts in the context of cloud vulnerability concentrate on IaaS, leaving other cloud models largely unattended. Similarly, most cloud assessment efforts tackle general cloud vulnerabilities rather than cloud specific vulnerabilities. Yet, mitigating cloud specific vulnerabilities is important for cloud security. Hence, this paper proposes a new approach that addresses the mentioned issues by monitoring, acquiring and adapting publicly available cloud vulnerability information for effective vulnerability assessments. We correlate vulnerability information from public vulnerability databases and develop Network Vulnerability Tests for specific cloud vulnerabilities. We have implemented, evaluated and verified the suitability of our approach.

  Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) is emerging as a new software delivery model, where the application and its associated data are hosted in the cloud. Due to the nature of SaaS and the cloud in general, where the data and the computation are beyond the control of the user, data privacy and security becomes a vital factor in this new paradigm. In multi-tenant SaaS applications, the tenants (i.e., companies) become concerned about the confidentiality of their data since several tenants are consolidated onto a shared infrastructure (i.e., databases). Consequently, two main questions raise. First, how to prohibit a tenant from accessing other’s data? Second, how to avoid the security threats from co-located competing tenants? In this paper, we address the second question. We present SecPlace, a resource allocation model designed to increase the level of security for tenants sharing the same infrastructure. SecPlace avoids hosting competing companies on the same database instance. We minimize the risk of co-resident tenants by preventing any two tenants of the same business type to be hosted on the same database server. SecPlace utilizes the usage of tenant subscription data, such as business type and tenant size and place the tenant accordingly. We conduct extensive experiments to validate our approach. The results show that our approach is practical, achieves its goal, and have a moderate complexity.

  By design, the cloud system does not allow a cloud administrator to access the customer data in a virtual machine (VM) without customer's knowledge. However, a cloud administrator is able to modify the software/hardware configuration in a way that allow unauthorized access to the customer data. This is because the cloud administrator has full control of the cloud infrastructure. He is a super user in the cloud system and has physical access on the cloud infrastructure. We introduce the ABTiCI (Agent-Based Trust in Cloud Infrastructure) system to detect unauthorized access by verifying and monitoring the Integrity of cloud infrastructure security relevant parts. ABTiCI performs integrity verification at boot-time and at run-time. ABTiCI uses trusted boot with TPM (Trusted Platform Module) to perform integrity verification at boot-time. ABTiCI also monitors access to security relevant parts, such as hardware/software configuration, to be able to detect any changes at run-time. ABTiCI uses agents to do the integrity verification and to communicate between entities in the cloud infrastructure. ABTiCI informs the Certifier about the Dom0 address of the customer VMs (Virtual Machines) to be able to verify whether an integrity verification agent is installed and running in every Dom0.

  The amount of identity data leaks in recent times is drastically increasing. Not only smaller web services, but also established technology companies are a�ected. However, it is not commonly known, that incidents covered by media are just the tip of the iceberg. Accordingly, more detailed investigation of not just publicly accessible parts of the web but also deep web is imperative to gain greater insight into the large number of data leaks. This paper presents methods and experiences of our deep web analysis. We give insight in commonly used platforms for data exposure, formats of identity related data leaks, and the methods of our analysis. On one hand a lack of security implementations among Internet service providers exists and on the other hand users still tend to generate and reuse weak passwords. By publishing our results we aim to increase awareness on both sides and the establishment of counter measures.

The initial approach used for attacking a user's privacy and security is done by scanning the nodes on a network. This gives an attacker the ability to obtain the IP addresses in use by this node so that this information can then be used to initiate further attacks against this node, such as tracking them via their IP address across the networks, and then, later correlating the user's activities with his IP address. The first attempt by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) to protect a user's privacy was defined in the Privacy Extension RFC [13]. Unfortunately this RFC has some de�ciencies which makes its use vulnerable to privacy related attacks. To address this problem, and solve the deciencies that exist with the use of this RFC, we introduce our new algorithm, which not only maintains a node's lifetime, but also provides a user with a method for randomized Interface ID (IID) generations.

  The Domain Name System (DNS) is an essential part of the Internet on whose function many other protocols rely. One key DNS function is Dynamic Update, which allows hosts on the network to make updates to DNS records dynamically, without the need for restarting the DNS service. Unfortunately, this dynamic process does expose DNS servers to security issues. To address these issues two protocols were introduced: Transaction SIGnature (TSIG) and Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC). In Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) networks using these protocols eliminated security issues. In Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) however, there is an issue with the DNS authentication process when using the StateLess Address AutoConfiguration (SLAAC) mechanism (new to IPv6, nonexistent in IPv4). This authentication issue occurs when a node wants to update its resource records on a DNS server, during the DNS update process, or when a client wants to authenticate a DNS resolver to ensure that the DNS response does not contain a spoofed source address or message. In this paper we propose the use of a new mechanism which makes use of asymmetric cryptography to establish a trust relationship with the DNS server. We also consider the use of the current security parameters used to generate IPv6 addresses in a secure manner, i.e. Secure Neighbor Discovery (SeND), for assuring clients and DNS servers that the one they are communicating with is the real owner of this IP address. Since we are extending the RDATA field within the TSIG protocol to accommodate these new security parameters, we will call this new mechanism the CGA-TSIG algorithm.

  Security has recently become a very important concern for entities using IPv6 networks. This is especially true with the recent news reports where governments and companies have admitted to credible cyber attacks against them in which con�dential information and the security of data have been compromised. In this paper we will introduce a flexible framework that can be used for penetration testing of IPv6 networks. Due to the large address space in each of the IPv6 subnets, the traditional scanning approaches do not work. Here we introduce our new scanning algorithm which will �nd the IPv6 nodes on the Internet which are using Domain Name System (DNS) servers. Our implementation results showed that the use of the DNS Security Extension (DNSSEC) with NSEC3 [5], which is a new and promising approach for the prevention of zone walking, was not able to prevent us from gathering information about nodes on different networks.

  As input for authorization decisions as well as to offer personalized services, service providers often require information about their users' identity attributes. In open identity management systems, these identity attributes are not necessarily managed by the service providers themselves, but independent identity providers. Users might be required to aggregate identity attributes from multiple identity providers in order to meet a service's needs. On the other hand service providers might also have certain requirements concerning the confidence into these attributes and face the problem of choosing one among multiple identity providers that can possibly assert the same attributes, but with different trust qualities. In this paper, we present an architecture to generate service policies using assurance information about available identity providers. Our logic-based attribute assurance library, called IdentityTrust, allows the configuration of a knowledge base reflecting a service provider's knowledge about remote identity providers. Service providers can state their trust requirements concerning technical and organizational details of identity providers and their ability to assert identity attributes. A reasoning engine finds suitable (combinations of) identity providers, which serve as input for our policy framework that generates corresponding policies using the WS-Security policy format.

  Today, there is a huge amount of security services that can be used to implement different security requirements in Web Service based systems. For example, identity management services are required for authentication and authorization whereas message logging services are necessary to achieve non-repudiation. However, the deployment and configuration of these security services usually requires expert knowledge about the systems and expert knowledge about security requirements and implementations which a person can only learn by experience. Furthermore, today's Web Service based systems become increasingly complex. Thus, implementing security requirements is a complex and error prone task, even for experts. For this paper, we analysed several service-based implementations for identity management and their differences in the service orchestration. We present an approach to derive the needed security services, their configuration, and their connections to the functional services, based on defined security requirements for a Web Service based system. Therefore, we evaluate the UML use case model of the system and apply service security pattern derived during the analysis of the identity management implementations.

  Service-oriented Architectures support the provision, discovery, and usage of services in different application contexts. The Web Service specifications provide a technical foundation to implement this paradigm and provide mechanisms to face the new security challenges raised by SOA. To enable the seamless usage of services, security requirements can be expressed as security policies (e.g. WS-Policy and WS-Security Policy) that enable the negotiation of these requirements between clients and services. However, the concept of policy negotiation has not been applicable in the scope of service compositions so far. Since each orchestrated Web Service in a service composition might demand the provision of specific user information and requires a particular security mechanism, the security policy of a service composition depends on the aggregated requirements of the orchestrated services. Current Web Service frameworks are not capable of resolving such policy dependencies. In this paper we present our solution to enable an automated creation of security policies from orchestrated services. Therefore, we present a policy model that is capable of capturing Web Service security requirements. Based on this model, we introduce an algorithm that performs the aggregation of security requirements stated by the orchestrated services and mappings to transform WS-Security Policy instances and the security model instances into each other.

  Service-oriented Architectures (SOA) facilitate the provision and orchestration of business services to enable a faster adoption to changing business demands. Web Services provide a technical foundation to realize this paradigm and support a variety of different security mechanisms and approaches. Security requirements are codified in Web Service policies that control the service's behavior in terms of secure interactions with other participants in an SOA. To facilitate and simplify the generation of enforceable security policies, we foster a model-driven approach based on the modelling of security requirements in system design models. This paper introduces our security design language SecureSOA that enables the definition of these security requirements. We present the abstract syntax and notion of SecureSOA and describe a schema to integrate SecureSOA in any system design language for service-based systems. Moreover, we will demonstrate the integration of SecureSOA in Fundamental Modelling Concept (FMC) Block Diagrams.

  Cloud computing enables the provisioning of dynamically scalable resources as a service. Next to cloud computing, the paradigm of Service-oriented Architectures emerged to facilitate the provisioning of functionality as services. While both concepts are complementary, their combination enables the flexible provisioning and consumption of independently scalable services. These approaches come along with new security risks that require the usage of identity and access management solutions and information protection. The requirements concerning security mechanisms, protocols and options are stated in security policies that configure the interaction between services and clients in a system. In this paper, we present our cloud-based Service Security Lab that supports the on-demand creation and orchestration of composed applications and services. Our cloud platform enables the testing, monitoring and analysis of Web Services regarding different security configurations, concepts and infrastructure components. Since security policies are hard to understand and even harder to codify, we foster a model-driven approach to simplify the creation of security configurations. Our model-driven approach enables the definition of security requirements at the modelling layer and facilitates a transformation based on security configuration patterns.

  Service-oriented Architectures support the provision, discovery, and usage of services in different application contexts. The Web Service specifications provide a technical foundation to implement this paradigm. Moreover, mechanisms are provided to face the new security challenges raised by SOA. To enable the seamless usage of services, security requirements can be expressed as security policies (e.g. WS-Policy and WS-SecurityPolicy) that enable the negotiation of these requirements between clients and services. However, the codification of security policies is a difficult and error-prone task due to the complexity of the Web Service specifications. In this paper, we introduce our model-driven approach that facilitates the transformation of architecture models annotated with simple security intentions to security policies. This transformation is driven by security configuration patterns that provide expert knowledge on Web Service security. Therefore, we will introduce a formalised pattern structure and a domain-specific language to specify these patterns.

  Service-oriented Architectures deliver a flexible infrastructure to allow independently developed software components to communicate in a seamless manner. In the scope of organisational workflows, SOA provides a suitable foundation to execute business processes as an orchestration of multiple independent services. Along with the increased connectivity, the corresponding security risks rise exponentially. However, security requirements are usually defined on a technical level, rather than on an organisational level that would provide a comprehensive view on the participants, the assets and their relationships regarding security. In this paper, we propose an approach to describe security requirements at the business process layer and their translation to concrete security configuration for service-based systems. We introduce security elements for business process modelling which allow to evaluate the trustworthiness of participants based on a rating of enterprise assets and to express security intentions such as confidentiality or integrity on an abstract level. Our aim is to facilitate the generation of security configurations based on the modelled requirements. For this purpose, we foster a model-driven approach: Information at the modelling layer is gathered and translated to a domain-independent security model. Concrete protocols and security mechanisms are resolved based on a security pattern system that is introduced in the course of this paper.

  The loosely coupled nature of Service-oriented Architectures raises the question how information for access control can be managed in an efficient way. Several specifications for Web Services exist to describe security requirements and to facilitate a provision of identity information. However, the integration of different standards regarding the expression of identity information in policies, claims and assertions comes along with an increased complexity. In order to identify and address the problems occurring with the combined use of standards as XACML, SAML and WS-Trust, we designed and implemented an architecture for identity- and attribute-based access control in decentralized environments. Our implementation provides an automated generation of access control policies in a format called XACML, a way to communicate required user attributes as claims across different domains based on the standards WS-Trust and WS-Policy, and a consistent mapping of retrieved attribute assertions to the XACML attributes in the access control policy.

  Federated Identity Management describes a model to enable users to use their digital identities in collaborating companies regardless of organizational borders. The essential pre-requisite to share the user authentication across different security domains is the establishment of trust between the collaborating partners. Usually, this is done by setting up complex contracts, that describe common policies, obligations and procedures to be followed by each collaboration member. The result is a federation, or Circle of Trust, in which each member is willing to trust on assertions made by someone else. Naturally, federations are no isolated structures and members of one federation might also be part of another one - a constellation possible with current federation technologies. However, whether and how the trust relationships of federations can be used to allow access even across multiple federations is a question which has not been answered yet. In this paper, we investigate trust requirements for identity federation topologies. Starting from the classical structure of a Circle of Trust, we go beyond this and identify more complex patterns such as overlapping federations. For each pattern, we identify risks for identity and service providers as well as the necessary trust requirements that must be met to allow such constellations.

However, whether and how the trust relationships of federations can be used to allow access even across multiple federations is a question which has not been answered yet. In this paper, we investigate trust requirements for identity federation topologies. Starting from the classical structure of a Circle of Trust, we go beyond this and identify more complex patterns such as overlapping federations. For each pattern, we identify risks for identity and service providers as well as the necessary trust requirements that must be met to allow such constellations.}, address = {Bradford, UK}, author = {Kylau, Uwe and Thomas, Ivonne and Menzel, Michael and Meinel, Christoph}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 23rd International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications (AINA 2009)}, keywords = {its Federated_Identity_Management}, month = 5, pages = {137-145}, publisher = {IEEE Computer Society}, title = {Trust Requirements in Identity Federation Topologies}, year = 2009 }

  Service-oriented Architectures (SOA) facilitate the provision and orchestration of business services to enable a faster adoption to changing business demands. Several approaches have been described to generate executable description of service orchestrations based on visual business process models. These models describe workflows and related information on an abstract level supporting business analysts to state and verify business requirements. In previous work, we have adopted this approach to simplify the security engineering in Service-oriented Architectures. We foster a model-driven approach based on the integration of security annotations in visual modelling notation. These annotations are gathered and translated to a domain-independent security model that facilitates the generation of enforceable security configurations (e.g. WSSecurityPolicy). In this paper, we introduce our security meta-model for SOA that constitutes the foundation for our model-driven approach. Based on a model for service interactions that describes the exchange of information in a service-based system, we define a model to express security requirements and policies, and introduce a mapping to WS-Policy and WS-SecurityPolicy.

  Service-oriented Architectures (SOA) facilitate the dynamic and seamless integration of services offered by different service providers which in addition can be located in different trust domains. Especially for business integration scenarios, Federated Identity Management emerged as a possibility to propagate identity information as security assertions across company borders in order to secure the interaction between different services. Although this approach guarantees scalability regarding the integration of identity-based services, it exposes a service provider to new security risks. These security risks result from the complex trust relationships within a federation. In a federation the authentication of a user is not necessarily performed within the service provider's domain, but can be performed in the user's local domain. Consequently, the service provider has to rely on authentication results received from a federation partner to enforce access control. This implies that the quality of the authentication process is out of control by the service provider and therefore becomes a factor which needs to be considered in the access control step. In order to guarantee a designated level of security, the quality of the authentication process should be part of the access control decision. To ease this process, we propose in this paper a method to rate authentication information by a level of trust which describes the strength of an authentication method. Additionally, in order to support the concept of a two-factor authentication, we also present a mathematical model to calculate the trust level when combining two authentication methods.

  The seamless composition of independent services is one of the success factors of Service-oriented Architectures (SOA). Services are orchestrated to service compositions across organizational boundaries to enable a faster reaction to changing business needs. Each orchestrated service might demand the provision of specific user information and requires particular security mechanisms. To enable a dynamic selection of services provided by foreign organizations, a central management of static security policies is not appropriate. Instead, each service should express its own security requirements as polices that stipulate explicitly the requirements of the composition. In this paper we address the problem of aggregating security requirements from orchestrated services. Such an aggregation is not just the combination of all security requirements, since dependencies and conflicts between these requirements might exist. We provide a classification of these dependencies and introduce a conceptional security model enabling a classification of security requirements to reveal conflicts. Finally, we propose an approach to determine an aggregation of security requirements in cross organizational service compositions.
