    O ensive Mindset When Someone Talks about ‘Security’ Parameters Matter What does make the system secure mean? Defender has to decide What part to protect, against whom, against what, for how long, at what costs, risks, and using which methods? Threat/Attacker capabilities model often only implied, neglected No One-Size Fits All Answers Mission and Adversary model dependent. Trade-o s inevitable Keywords for today Assumptions Attacks vs Errors, Trust [Bil10] Incentive structures Easy: Mechanism design [GNG08] ,“skin in the game” Compositional Security Unlikely (for real systems): LANGSEC [LSS11] Systemic Security “Rise of Machines” [Joh13]

    Systems, Subsystems and nth Order Attacks [Bil09] Objective Induce Instabilities in mission-sustaining ancillary systems that ultimately degrade, disable or subvert end system n: Degree of relation 0th order targets the end system, 1st order targets an ancillary system of the end system, 2nd order an ancillary system of the ancillary system etc. Systems Definition A whole that functions by virtue of interaction between constitutive components. Defined by relationships. Components may be other systems. Key points: Open, isomorphic laws Nature Technical, algorithmic, societal, psychological, ideological, economic, biological and ecological Examples Resource allocation / throughput / stability control, manufacturing, visualization environments, social welfare systems, voting systems, data / goods / energy generation/ transmission/ distribution, reputation management, entropy externalization, business models and economic systems

    Systems, Attacks and Assumption Violation Assumptions Fundamentally, attacks work because they violate assumptions Finite (i.e real life engineered or evolved) systems incorporate implicit/explicit assumptions into structure, functionality, language System geared towards ‘expected’, ‘typical’ cases Assumptions reflect those ‘designed-for’ cases Intuitive Examples of Attacks and Assumption Violations Man-in-Middle Attacks Identity assumption violated Race Condition Attacks Ordering assumption violated BGP Routing Attacks Trust assumption violated Generative Mechanism and Assumptions Optimization process incorporating tradeo s between objective functions and resource constraints under uncertainty Assumptions implicit/explicit in optimization formulations

    LANGSEC: Parsers, Recognizers Figure: Every piece of software that takes inputs contains a de facto recognizer for accepting valid or expected inputs and rejecting invalid or malicious ones. This recognizer code is often ad hoc, spread throughout the program, and interspersed with processing logic (a “shotgun parser”). This lends the processing logic to exploitation and programmers to false assumptions of data safety [SB14]. Picture from [SBH13]

    LANGSEC: Compositional Security Secure Composition Problem Composition What can you say about composition of modules A and B? Parsers, Language Classes & Power Formal Input Verification Input to parser constitutes valid expression in input-handler’s protocol Secure Composition Prove computational equivalence of input-handling routines, i.e. do two grammars produce exactly the same language? (if not, in extremis birth of ’weird machines’) Requirement Equivalence undecidable for complex protocols - starting from language classes that require Non-Deterministic PDA to recognize input language Way Forward: Minimum Power Principle to Reduce Insecurity of Composition 1 Parser must not provide more than the minimal computational strength necessary to interpret the protocol it is intended to parse 2 Protocols should be designed to require the computationally weakest parser necessary to achieve the intended operation DECIDABLE For regular + deterministic context-free grammars “LangSec” (Nov 2011) IMHO, most fundamental intuition in computer security since Thompson (1984) “Trusting Trust” [LSS11].

    Adversarial Dynamics Background Data US border security, computer vulnerability databases, o ensive & defensive coevolution of worms (Conficker) Modeled as players in adversarial situation Findings Performance metrics oscillate over time No asymptotic convergence not monotonic Classic Game Theory not useful, no good fit Claim In realistic (adversarial) games, players do not compute Nash Equilibria over strategy sets Use myopically perceived best responses at each time step Why? Not a stationary environment! Ongoing sequences of countermoves, deception and strategic adaptation Figure: Non-adversarial: Tra c deaths Figure: Adversarial: Vulns / Exploits

    Big Data Quandary: High Dim & Adversarial Space Figure: Two player adversarial non-zero sum game with reinforcement learning strategies. α is memory (0 ≈ all steps , 1 ≈ no memory). Γ is deviation from zero sum game (-1 ≈ zero-sum, 0 ≈ uncorrelated payo s, 1 ≈ payo s identical. β is intensity of choice (0 ≈ all moves equally likely, large ≈ some preferential moves). α ≈ 0 corresponds to replicator dynamics (previous slides).
