SMET: Semantic Mapping of CVE to ATT&CK and its Application to Cyber Security
Cybercriminals relentlessly pursue vulnerabilities across cyberspace to exploit software, threatening the security of individuals, organizations, and governments. Although security teams strive to establish defense measures to thwart attackers, the
Artificial Intelligence-Assisted Edge Computing for Wide Area Monitoring
The massive digital information generated in conjunction with the ever-increasing phasor measurement data in the power grid has led to a tremendous constraint on the analysis and timely processing of real-time data. Under these conditions, leveraging
Doubly parametric quantum transducers (DPTs), such as electro-optomechanical devices, show promise as quantum interconnects between the optical and microwave domains, thereby enabling long-distance quantum networks between superconducting qubit systems
Wideband Cyclostationary Spectrum Analysis for Smart Factory Wireless Channels
Smart and highly automated factories rely on time sensitive networks (TSNs) to coordinate the actions of robots working together to complete a task. The dense layout of metallic objects on the factory floor creates a complex electromagnetic environment
Analyzing Cybersecurity Definitions for Non-experts
There is no standard definition for cybersecurity, with current definitions often being technically-complex and targeted at practitioners and academics. However, non-experts (those who do not have security expertise) need an understandable definition to
The Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) Alliance is the industry led standardization effort, with the sole purpose of evolving the Radio Access Network (RAN) to be more open, intelligent, interoperable, and autonomous to support the ever growing need of
Predicting ABM Results with Covering Arrays and Random Forests
Simulation is a useful and effective way to analyze and study complex, real-world systems. It allows researchers, practitioners, and de- cision makers to make sense of the inner working of a system that involves many factors often resulting in some sort of
Multiplexed gradient descent: Fast online training of modern datasets on hardware neural networks without backpropagation
We show that model-free perturbative methods can be used to efficiently train modern neural network architectures in a way that can be directly applied to emerging neuromorphic hardware. These methods were investigated for training VLSI neural networks
NICE Framework Competency Areas: Preparing a Job-Ready Cybersecurity Workforce
This publication from the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE) describes Competency Areas as included in the Workforce Framework for Cybersecurity (NICE Framework), NIST Special Publication 800-181, Revision 1, a fundamental reference for
Admission Control and Scheduling of Isochronous and Asynchronous Traffic in IEEE 802.11ad MAC
The next generation WiFi such as IEEE 802.11ad and 802.11ay can provide stringent Quality of Service (QoS) due to its support of contention free channel access called Service Period. IEEE 802.11ad supports two types of user traffic: isochronous and
Status Report on the Final Round of the NIST Lightweight Cryptography Standardization Process
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) initiated a public standardization process to select one or more Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data (AEAD) and hashing schemes suitable for constrained environments. In February 2019, 57
An Analysis of the New ISO 23247 Series of Standards on Digital Twin Framework for Manufacturing
ISO has recently issued a series of standards (ISO 23247) that deals with a digital twin framework for manufacturing. It is a generic framework that can be specialized to enterprises engaged in different manufacturing processes, such as discrete, batch, or
Cybersecurity Framework Profile for Liquefied Natural Gas
This document is the Cybersecurity Framework Profile developed for the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) industry and the subsidiary functions that support the overarching liquefaction process, transport, and distribution of LNG. The LNG Cybersecurity Framework
