Post Quantum Cryptography Analysis of TLS Tunneling on a Constrained Device (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Barton, J., Pitropakis, N., Buchanan, W., Sayeed, S., & Abramson, W. (2022, February). Post Quantum Cryptography Analysis of TLS Tunneling on a Constrained Device. Presented at 8th International Conference on Information Systems Security and Privacy, Online

Advances in quantum computing make Shor’s algorithm for factorising numbers ever more tractable. This threatens the security of any cryptographic system which often relies on the difficulty of factorisation. It also threatens methods based on discret...

Trusted Threat Intelligence Sharing in Practice and Performance Benchmarking through the Hyperledger Fabric Platform (2022)
Journal Article
Ali, H., Ahmad, J., Jaroucheh, Z., Papadopoulos, P., Pitropakis, N., Lo, O., Abramson, W., & Buchanan, W. J. (2022). Trusted Threat Intelligence Sharing in Practice and Performance Benchmarking through the Hyperledger Fabric Platform. Entropy, 24(10), Article 1379. https://doi.org/10.3390/e24101379

Historically, threat information sharing has relied on manual modelling and centralised network systems, which can be inefficient, insecure, and prone to errors. Alternatively, private blockchains are now widely used to address these issues and impro...
