Evaluation of binary decision diagrams for redundancy, shadowing, generalisation and correlation in an Information sharing model. (2013)
Preprint / Working Paper
Uthmani, O., Buchanan, W. J., Fan, L., & Lawson, A. Evaluation of binary decision diagrams for redundancy, shadowing, generalisation and correlation in an Information sharing model

This paper defines a structured methodology which is based on the foundational work of Al-Shaer et al. in [1] and that of Hamed and Al-Shaer in [2]. It defines a methodology for the declaration of policy field elements, through to the syntax, ontolog...

A novel Information sharing model using binary decision diagrams for redundancy, shadowing, generalisation and correlation. (2013)
Preprint / Working Paper
Uthmani, O., Buchanan, W. J., Fan, L., & Lawson, A. A novel Information sharing model using binary decision diagrams for redundancy, shadowing, generalisation and correlation

This paper outlines a novel information sharing method using Binary Decision Diagrams (BBDs). It is inspired by the work of Al-Shaer and Hamed, who applied BDDs into the modelling of network firewalls. This is applied into an information sharing poli...

Approaches to the classification of high entropy file fragments. (2013)
Journal Article
Penrose, P., Macfarlane, R., & Buchanan, W. J. (2013). Approaches to the classification of high entropy file fragments. Digital Investigation, 10(4), 372-384. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.diin.2013.08.004

In this paper we propose novel approaches to the problem of classifying high entropy file fragments. We achieve 97% correct classification for encrypted fragments and 78% for compressed. Although classification of file fragments is central to the sci... Read More about Approaches to the classification of high entropy file fragments..
