Security and Complexity
Andrew Cormack
UKERNA
The media term "hacking" covers a very wide range of activities.
Networked computers are subject to many different types of attack at
many different technical levels and with many different motivations.
Defending against such diverse threats is likely to require similarly
diverse measures. This talk will examine the current threats and the
measures that can be taken to defend against them, and discuss how
increases in the scale and complexity of computer systems may affect the
balance between attack and defence.
