Optimal location of FACTS devices to enhance power system security

Stéphane Gerbex

This paper compares three heuristic methods (SA, TS and GA) applied to the optimal location of FACTS devices in a power system. The optimizations are made on three parameters: the location of the devices, their types and their sizes. The FACTS devices are ...

Small Worlds in Security Systems: an Analysis of the PGP Certificate Graph

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Levente Buttyan, Srdan Capkun

We propose a new approach to securing computer networks. With this approach, we achieve security in a fully self-organized manner; by this we mean that to secure a computer network, a security system does not require any kind of certification authority or ...

The Quest for Security in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Levente Buttyan, Srdan Capkun

So far, research on mobile ad hoc networks has been focused primarily on routing issues. Security, on the other hand, has been given a lower priority. This paper provides an overview of security problems for mobile ad hoc networks, distinguishing the threa ...

A Simple Logic for Authentication Protocol Design

Levente Buttyan, Uwe Wilhelm

In this paper, we describe a simple logic. The logic uses the notion of channels that are generalisations of communication links with various security properties. The abstract nature of channels enables us to treat the protocol at a higher abstraction leve ...
