A System for Timely and Controlled Information Sharing in Emergency Situations

IEEE Transactions on Dependable and Secure Computing (2013)

Barbara Carminati Elena Ferrari Michele Guglielmi

During natural disasters or emergency situations, an essential requirement for an effective emergency management is the information sharing. In this paper, we present an access control model to enforce controlled information sharing in emergency situations. An in-depth analysis of the model is discussed throughout the paper, and administration policies are introduced to enhance the model flexibility during emergencies. Moreover, a prototype implementation and experiments results are provided showing the efficiency and scalability of the system.

A Multidimensional Critical State Analysis for Detecting Intrusions in SCADA Systems

IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics (2011)

A. Carcano Alessio Coletta Michele Guglielmi Marcelo Masera Igor Nai Fovino

A relatively new trend in Critical Infrastructures (e.g., power plants, nuclear plants, energy grids, etc.) is the massive migration from the classic model of isolated systems, to a system-of-systems model, where these infrastructures are intensifying their interconnections through Information and Communications Technology (ICT) means. The ICT core of these industrial installations is known as Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition Systems (SCADA). Traditional ICT security countermeasures (e.g., classic firewalls, anti-viruses and IDSs) fail in providing a complete protection to these systems since their needs are different from those of traditional ICT. This paper presents an innovative approach to Intrusion Detection in SCADA systems based on the concept of Critical State Analysis and State Proximity. The theoretical framework is supported by tests conducted with an Intrusion Detection System prototype implementing the proposed detection approach.

Detection of Unspecified Emergencies for Controlled Information Sharing

IEEE Transactions on Dependable and Secure Computing (2015)

Barbara Carminati Elena Ferrari Michele Guglielmi

During emergency situations one of the key requirements to handle the crisis is information sharing among organizations involved in the emergency management. When emergency situations are well known, it is possible to specify a priori these situations and to plan the information sharing needs in advance. However, there are many situations where it is not possible to describe these emergencies and their information sharing requirements beforehand. Therefore, in this paper, we present a framework able to deal with both specified and unspecified emergencies. The idea is to detect unspecified emergencies and related information sharing needs through denied access request analysis, anomaly detection techniques, and analysis of the history of permitted access requests. Besides presenting the techniques, the paper also presents experiments to verify their effectiveness.

SHARE: Secure information sharing framework for emergency management

2022 IEEE 38th International Conference on Data Engineering (ICDE) (2013)

Barbara Carminati Elena Ferrari Michele Guglielmi

9/11, Katrina, Fukushima and other recent emergencies demonstrate the need for effective information sharing across government agencies as well as non-governmental and private organizations to assess emergency situations, and generate proper response plans. In this demo, we present a system to enforce timely and controlled information sharing in emergency situations. The framework is able to detect emergencies, enforce temporary access control policies and obligations to be activated during emergencies, simulate emergency situations for demonstrational purposes and show statistical results related to emergency activation/deactivation and consequent access control policies triggering.

Secure Information Sharing on Support of Emergency Management

Barbara Carminati Elena Ferrari Michele Guglielmi

One of the most strategic component for an efficient and effective emergency management is the availability of an infrastructure on support of information sharing. Indeed, during emergency situations it is vital that the necessary information timely reaches the right person. Even if emergency management usually requires to bypass access control policies in place during the system normal operations, it is crucial that such process is temporary and controlled by proper emergency policies. To cope with these requirements, in this paper we present a system able to: 1) detect the events that cause the triggering of an emergency policy, 2) make immediately available to the authorized subjects information covered by the emergency policy. This is achieved by the definition of flexible emergency policies and by the use of a Complex Event Processing system on support of event monitoring and policy triggering. The paper also presents preliminary experiments on system overhead.

Serum uric acid is associated with non-dipping circadian pattern in young patients (30–40 years old) with newly diagnosed essential hypertension

Clinical and Experimental Hypertension (2016)

Francesco Giallauria P Predotti Antonio Casciello A Grieco Angelo Russo

Background: We aimed at evaluating the relationship between the circadian blood pressure rhythm and UA level in young patients (30–40 years old) with newly diagnosed essential hypertension. Methods: The study included 62 essential hypertensive patients and 29 healthy controls (20 men, 35 ± 3 years) divided into two groups according to 24-hour ABPM resuts: 30 dippers and 32 nondippers. Results: Nondippers showed significantly higher both serum UA levels compared to dippers and controls (6.1 ± 0.7, 5.2 ± 0.9 and 4.1 ± 0.9 mg/dL, p < 0.001, respectively); and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) (4.1 ± 2.2 mg/L, 3.3 ± 1.9 mg/L, and 1.4 ± 0.9 mg/L, p < 0.001, respectively). After adjusting for age, sex, body mass index, smoking, creatinine levels, hsCRP and comorbidity, multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed an independent association between serum UA levels and nondipper pattern (OR 2.44, 95%CIs 1.4–4.1, p = 0.002). Conclusion: Serum UA is independently associated with nondipper circadian pattern in young patients with newly diagnosed essential hypertension.
