A Taxonomy Framework for Maritime Cybersecurity: A Demonstration Using the Automatic Identification System

The maritime transportation system is increasingly a target of cyber attacks. This paper describes a taxonomy that supports the creation of adversarial cyber models, risk mitigation, and resiliency plans as applied to the maritime industry, using the Automatic Identification System as a specific illustration of the approach. This method has already been applied to the aviation sector; retooling it for a maritime example demonstrates its broad applicability to the transportation sector, in general

A Virtual Digital Forensics Laboratory

This paper from Advances in Digital Forensics IV discusses the concept of a digital forensic laboratory, which incorporates networked examination and storage machines, secure communications, multi-factor authentication, role-based access control, and case management and digital asset management systems. Digital forensics laboratories provide law enforcement agencies a decentralized digital environment in which to store, examine, and present digital evidence. These online environments offer unique challenges for agencies that will acquire them including system performance, security, system management, and usability. A prototype for a virtual laboratory is included that features the following architecture: Internal network, authentication and access control, virtualization, forensic tools, storage, and internal network security. Challenges encountered when developing the virtual laboratory are also discussed.Â
