Research Degree Supervisor
My major research areas are Forensic Computing, System Security (including computer and network security, wireless security and SCADA and process control security),Critical Infrastructure Protection and Counter Terrorism (Systems for Safeguarding Australia).I also have a growing focus on Complex Adaptive Systems and agent-based modelling and continue to research the effect of culture on the security of complex sociotechnical systems
Current Projects:
Development of Forensic Computing Tools
| This project involves development of a suite of reactive and proactive "zero-skills" Forensic Computing tools for the South Australian and other Australian police forces. |
| The effect of wireless network insecurity on crime and how these insecurities are being exploited. |
| This is a long-term collaborative project with several Australian police forces. |
| This project has grown out of a long term deep personal interest in the relationship between culture and computing. This work develops a formal model of the relationship between culture and trust and applies this within IT security risk management to extend an existing trust model to include cultural factors. |
