This work reports the human factors-related validation results of a security system for protection linked critical infrastructures (CIs) against combined cyber-physical attacks. Attacks any kind on CIs have increased in number and complexity. In order to prevent or mitigate interruption services public, is high importance. As an evolution recent research single CIs, EU H2020 project PRAETORIAN adopted holistic management approach that addressed with one overarching toolset.The toolset...

This paper introduces to security management that is conducted at infrastructure installations and their corresponding technical assets. Malicious activities those infrastructures lead a loss of service provision or can even introduce cascading effects towards other connected infrastructures. If an satisfies significant societal need, it considered critical infrastructure. The cause secondary the infrastructures, such as airports. Airport operations are central long-distance mobility small...

Contradictory to communication safety in the aviation field security has received relatively little attention date, although threats regarding air traffic have been rapidly increasing recent years. Within project GAMMA (Global ATM Security Management) German Aerospace Center (DLR) is developing a prototype support controllers (ATCO) detecting intrusions into ground voice system and therefore allow subsequent mitigating actions be conducted.

A frequently used procedure to examine the relationship between categorical and dimensional descriptions of emotions is ask subjects place verbal expressions representing in a continuous multidimensional emotional space. This work chooses different approach. It aims at creating system predicting values Activation Valence (AV) directly from sound speech utterances without use its semantic content or any other additional information. The uses X-vectors represent characteristics utterance...

Since years it is known that radio communication used by ATC can easily be intruded and therefore subject to recurrent attacks. Nevertheless the voice between pilots air traffic controllers still most flexible efficient medium especially in a busy environment, non-standard situations or simply when exchanging air-ground messages plain language needed. As vulnerability seems not dominant compared number of crucial damages, basic important method within aeronautical mobile service. This...

Security in air traffic management is still a rather new challenge and receives increased interest during recent years. This implies that security concepts systems are developed. Usually all have to go through several validation cycles reach higher technical readiness level. As no well-established approach available which considers the special aspects of this forms an additional barrier when developing control systems. true because suitable approaches be developed first. The latter includes...
