Ross J. Anderson. Ross John Anderson FRS FRSE FREng FIMA FIET [6][7][8][4] (15 September 1956 – 28 March 2024) was a British researcher, author, and industry consultant in security engineering. [5] He was Professor of Security Engineering at the Department of Computer Science and Technology, University of Cambridge [9] where he was part of ...
In security engineering, security through obscurity is the practice of concealing the details or mechanisms of a system to enhance its security. This approach relies on the principle of hiding something in plain sight, akin to a magician's sleight of hand or the use of camouflage. It diverges from traditional security methods, such as physical ...
Security engineering. Security engineering is the process of incorporating security controls into an information system so that the controls become an integral part of the system’s operational capabilities. [1] It is similar to other systems engineering activities in that its primary motivation is to support the delivery of engineering ...
The abstract model of a reference monitor has been widely applied to any type of system that needs to enforce access control and is considered to express the necessary and sufficient properties for any system making this security claim. [2] According to Ross Anderson, [3] the reference monitor concept was introduced by James Anderson in an ...
Anderson's rule (computer science) In the field of computer security, Anderson's rule refers to a principle formulated by Ross J. Anderson: systems that handle sensitive personal information involve a trilemma of security, functionality and scale, of which you can choose any two. A system that has information on many data subjects and to which ...
In 2000, Ross Anderson wrote, Why Information Security is Hard. Anderson explained that a significant difficulty in optimal development of security technology is that incentives must be aligned with the technology to enable rational adoption. Thus, economic insights should be integrated into technical design. A security technology should enable ...
A5/1. A5/1 is a stream cipher used to provide over-the-air communication privacy in the GSM cellular telephone standard. It is one of several implementations of the A5 security protocol. It was initially kept secret, but became public knowledge through leaks and reverse engineering. A number of serious weaknesses in the cipher have been identified.
A permissive action link (PAL) is an access control security device for nuclear weapons. Its purpose is to prevent unauthorized arming or detonation of a nuclear weapon. [1] The United States Department of Defense definition is: A device included in or attached to a nuclear weapon system to preclude arming and/or launching until the insertion ...
