Volume 7, Issue 2 Editorial
SEPTEMBER 2008
William Sousan and his colleagues from the KEWI Research Group at the University of Nebraska investigate open source intelligence using a tailored information delivery service system, whilst Andy Luse, Anthony Townsend and Kevin Scheibe from Iowa State University present a new method for secure message transmission. In addition, we have three papers from authors who presented at the 7th European Conference on Information Warfare in Plymouth, UK, in June of this year. The first of these papers by Andrea Cullen and Ian Mann presents an interesting industry/academic perspective on balancing a layered approached in security to counteract social engineering. Linda Finch and Richard Vaughan from General Dynamics UK Limited then propose an engineering ‘fit for purpose’ security system which seeks to create flexibility in adapting to changing resource and information sharing requirements in the military. Lastly, Chris Flaherty argues that information deception is a core component of three dimensional tactics, which seeks to develop spherical security protection, particularly in the context of terrorist attacks.
As ever, we are seeking quality papers for publication. Whilst, most papers are of an academic nature, we also welcome papers with opinions on relevant topics from knowledgeable persons. Such papers do not require such rigorous analysis by peers. All submissions can be emailed directly to me at trish.williams@ecu.edu.au.
