Preventing Ransomware Damages Using in-Operation Off-Site Backup to Achieve a 10⁻⁸ False-Negative Miss-Detection Rate
This paper presents a novel approach to preventing ransomware damages through in-operation off-site backup systems designed to achieve an exceptionally low false-negative miss-detection rate of 10⁻⁸.
Reliability Estimation in Series Systems: Maximum Likelihood Techniques for Right-Censored and Masked Failure Data
This paper investigates maximum likelihood techniques to estimate component reliability from masked failure data in series systems. A likelihood model accounts for right-censoring and candidate sets …
Estimating How Confidential Encrypted Searches Are Using Moving Average Bootstrap Method
This paper applies an approach of resilience engineering in studying how effective encrypted searches will be. One of the concerns on encrypted searches is frequency attacks. In frequency attacks, …

The Beautiful Deception: How 256 Bits Pretend to be Infinity
How do you store infinity in 256 bits? This paper explores the fundamental deception at the heart of computational cryptography: using finite information to simulate infinite randomness. We prove why …
