The Analogue Prism of Network Security

Presented at PhreakNIC 21 (2017), Nov. 4, 2017, 3 p.m. (60 minutes)

Imagine if network security had no ‘0's and no ‘1's. That Digital was not Binary. Imagine, instead, that network security has no absolutes but applies ‘Continua'. Imagine if we added dynamic analogue functionality to security processes. Imagine if we used OODA and feedback and feedforward loops as core security concepts. Imagine if we added the word ‘Time' to every question and every answer when discussing security. Imagine we can actually employ Negative Time. Imagine if we added new OOB functionality to TCP/IP rather than redesign fundamental communications protocols. Imagine. Just imagine how our views of security would suddenly change, and new answers, approaches and models appeared… just because we looked at security through an analogue prism. Winn Schwartau will walk us through a new conceptual model of security (Not a Product or Vendor anything! Just some ideas…) that applies to everything from coding to networking to inter-networking… and maybe, just maybe, in its abstraction, solves DDoS, Spam and Phishing? Bring it on and tell Winn what is wrong with his ideas. 1. How to measure security performance, especially for detection and reaction to security events. 2. How to measure and compare defensive security products. 3. How to design code with enhanced detection mechanisms. 4. How to compare risk in multi-user administrative functions. AND MORE!
