Predicting enemy force closure with simulation
WSC '00: Proceedings of the 32nd conference on Winter simulationThis paper presents a model and an analysis done to predict enemy force closure. The simulation replaces a pencil and ruler method that has been used by Department of Defense planners for over a century. More importantly, the model provides planners ...
The user is not the enemy: fighting malware by tracking user intentions
NSPW '08: Proceedings of the 2008 New Security Paradigms WorkshopCurrent access control policies provide no mechanisms for incorporating user behavior in access control decisions, even though the way a user interacts with a program often indicates what the user expects that program to do. We develop a new approach to ...
Mitigating Skill Decay in Military Instruction and Enemy Analysis via GIFT
Augmented Cognition: Users and ContextsAbstractThis paper will review the collaborative effort of the Army Research Laboratory (ARL) and the Department of Military Instruction (DMI) at the United States Military Academy (USMA) to develop and execute a pedagogical pathway to validate the ...

Computer security is vital to many organizations that depend on their information resources. Complex and expensive security mechanisms are useless if users compromise security measures such as password protection. This useful short article investigates why this happens and how to take remedial measures. The authors argue that the narrow technical design perspective produces security mechanisms that are less effective than they are generally assumed to be. They insist on user-centered security design. A number of real-life examples illustrate situations where users have trouble working with multiple passwords or understanding the need for security. The article gives recommendations on password content, multiple passwords, users' perception of security, and work practices. It is useful reading for security managers, system administrators, and other professionals seeking ways to improve the effectiveness of security measures.
