Vehicular Defense

This book presents several novel approaches to model the interaction between the attacker and the defender and assess the security of Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs). The first security assessment approach is based on the attack tree security assessment model, which leverages tree based methods to analyze the risk of the system and identify the possible attacking strategies the adversaries may launch.

Location-based applications refer to those that use location data in a prominent manner. Location data can be very effective for service provisioning, enabling the birth of a new generation of information services. Although data security and privacy issues have been extensively investigated in several domains, current techniques are not readily applicable to location-based applications.

Location data can be very effective for service provisioning, enabling the birth of a new generation of information services. Although data security and privacy issues have been extensively investigated in several domains, current techniques are not readily applicable to location-based applications. Conciliating the effectiveness of these applications with privacy concerns constitutes a unique challenge, mostly due to the semantic richness of location and time information. Research in this field involves aspects of spatio-temporal reasoning, query processing, system security, statistical inference, and more importantly, anonymization techniques. Several research groups have been working in recent years to identify privacy attacks and defense techniques in this domain.

Rather than managing flight paths or other vehicular trajectories, Boom Brigade uses the line drawing mechanism to control your soldiers in defending your base from invading enemies. In some ways, the game feels a bit like a real time tower defense. The game offers you three differently armed soldiers to choose from: Minigun, Shotgun, and Bazooka. Each type has slightly different stats. The Minigun soldier has the least damage power, medium range/movement but the most health. Meanhile, the Bazooka soldier has lots of damage power, long range, but low health and slow movement. Gameplay involves drawing paths to for your solders who automatically fire at incoming enemies. Each weapon has a reload time so it's not a constant barrage of fire, and the invading enemies will start chasing the soldiers as they get close. As a result, the best strategy is to create a circular path around the enemies to corral them together to make most of your firepower.
