Risk Propagation Assessment for Network Security
Application to Airport Communication Network Design
von Mohamed Slim Ben Mahmoud, Nicolas Larrieu und Aliain PirovanoThe focus of this book is risk assessment methodologies fornetwork architecture design. The main goal is to present andillustrate an innovative risk propagation-based quantitativeassessment tool. This original approach aims to help networkdesigners and security administrators to design and build morerobust and secure network topologies. As an implementation casestudy, the authors consider an aeronautical network based onAeroMACS (Aeronautical Mobile Airport Communications System)technology. AeroMACS has been identified as the wireless accessnetwork for airport surface communications that will soon bedeployed in European and American airports mainly forcommunications between aircraft and airlines. It is based on theIEEE 802.16-2009 standard, also known as WiMAX.
The book begins with an introduction to the information systemsecurity risk management process, before moving on to present thedifferent risk management methodologies that can be currently used(quantitative and qualitative). In the third part of the book, theauthors' original quantitative network risk assessment modelbased on risk propagation is introduced. Finally, a network casestudy of the future airport AeroMACS system is presented. Thisexample illustrates how the authors' quantitative riskassessment proposal can provide help to network security designersfor the decision-making process and how the security of the entirenetwork may thus be improved.
