Risk in Complex Systems

Risk assessment

The NoWires Research Group has initiated a project to assess risk and build trust in complex information systems. Our first results on risk assessment are described in the papers:

• new K. J. Hole and L.-H. Netland, “Toward Risk Assessment of Large-Impact and Rare Events,” IEEE Security & Privacy, May/June 2010. (Copyright notice at bottom of page.)

• H. Raddum, L. H. Nestås, and K. J. Hole, “Security Analysis of Mobile Phones Used as OTP Generators,” in Proc. Workshop in Information Security Theory and Practices (WISTP 10), Passau, Germany, April 12-14, 2010 (see full report for additional figures and analysis).

Building trust

The group has analyzed trust issues related to remote e-voting systems in general and the new Norwegian e-voting system in particular. An initial description of our insights can be found in the Master Thesis:

• new Lars Hopland Nestås, “Building Trust in Remote Internet Voting,” June, 2010.

New course

Professor K. J. Hole is developing a new course called “risk in complex systems.” The first 600 slides are available for download (16MB PDF).
