Abstract

At Oxford we have developed a framework for understanding the components of an attack, and documenting known attack patterns can be instrumental in developed trip-wires aimed at detecting the presence of insiders in a system. This project will seek to develop a library of such trip-wires based on a survey of openly documented and commented upon attacks, using the Oxford framework. There will be an opportunity to deploy the library into a live-trial context which should afford an opportunity to study the relative utility of the trip-wires within large commercial enterprises. The mini-project would also need to include experimenting with the trip-wires in a laboratory environment, and this would involve the design of appropriate test methods
