Soft systems methodology in net-centric cyber defence system development (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

© 2014 IEEE. Complexity is ever increasing within our information environment and organisations, as interdependent dynamic relationships within sociotechnical systems result in high variety and uncertainty from a lack of information or control. A net... Read More about Soft systems methodology in net-centric cyber defence system development.

Complexity metrics and user strength perceptions of the pattern-lock graphical authentication method (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

One of the most popular contemporary graphical password approaches is the Pattern-Lock authentication mechanism that comes integrated with the Android mobile operating system. In this paper we investigate the impact of password strength meters on the... Read More about Complexity metrics and user strength perceptions of the pattern-lock graphical authentication method.

Smartphone message sentiment analysis (2014)
Book Chapter

Humans tend to use specific words to express their emotional states in written and oral communications. Scientists in the area of text mining and natural language processing have studied sentiment fingerprints residing in text to extract the emotiona...

How b-skeletons lose their edges (2014)
Journal Article

A b-skeleton is a proximity graphs with node neighbourhood defined by continuous-valued parameter b. Two nodes in a b-skeleton are connected by an edge if their lune-based neighbourhood contains no other nodes. With increase of b some edges a skeleto...

Route 20, autobahn 7, and slime mold: Approximating the longest roads in usa and germany with slime mold on 3-d terrains (2014)
Journal Article

A cellular slime mould Physarum polycephalum is a monstrously large single cell visible by an unaided eye. The slime mold explores space in parallel, is guided by gradients of chemoattractants, and propagates toward sources of nutrients along nearly...

Decentralized traceable attribute-based signatures (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

We provide a formal security model for traceable attribute-based signatures. Our focus is on the more practical case where attribute management is distributed among different authorities rather than relying on a single central authority. By specializ...
