Insecurity Refactoring: Automated Injection of Vulnerabilities in Source Code
AbstractInsecurity Refactoring is a change to the internal structure of software to inject a vulnerability without changing the observable behavior in a normal use case scenario. An implementation of Insecurity Refactoring is formally explained to inject ...
Insecurity of Operational IMS Call Systems: Vulnerabilities, Attacks, and Countermeasures
IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) is an essential 4G/5G component to offer multimedia services. It is used worldwide to support two call services: VoLTE (Voice over LTE) and VoWiFi (Voice over WiFi). In this study, it is shown that the signaling and voice ...
Indian Ocean tsunami: The use of MERIS (MTCI) data to infer salt stress in coastal vegetation
MERIS (MEdium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer)The Indian Ocean tsunami of 26 December 2004 removed coastal vegetation and inundated large areas of near-coastal and low lying land with salt water. There were subsequent reports of early vegetation senescence as salt stress reduced the chlorophyll ...
