A Frame Problem Approach for Adaptive Cyber Security Design
Riaz Ahmed Shaikh, T. Bryla, Said Fathi Ahmed · 2013
This paper is about efforts to create a Frame Problem based network security solution. The paper entails the motivation and efforts to integrate the Frame Problem approach to the distributed cyber-defense mechanisms against network attacks. This paradigm is further tested using a simple simulation of cyberattacks detection and cyber-protection mechanisms validating posit that combining the Frame Problem efficacy with the network discrete-event antecedent can produce remarkable network security solutions. The paper describes the effectiveness of the underlying principles used to solve the Frame Problem in the context of network security counteraction against cyber-attacks. A simple simulator is designed and experimented to support the proposed FP based network security model coined as the Frame Problem Autonomous Network Security (FPACS). The paper characterizes some framework and implementation parameters of the simulation environment. The paper concludes with highlighting the advantages, illuminating potential drawbacks, and recommending a broad research agenda toward realizing the theoretical and practical extensions of this work.
