Ever wonder how boring networking and infrastructure subjects + shuffling cards skills and a bit of artificial intelligence (AI) knowledge, could translate into designs for Cybersecurity Defense and Attack techniques?
To keep your imagination alive, here is a simple to understand cybersecurity technique that taps on Networking and Infrastructure configuration knowledge and skills.
“A cybersecurity technique that shuffles network addresses like a blackjack dealer shuffles playing cards could effectively befuddle hackers gambling for control of a military jet, commercial airliner or spacecraft.
Many aircraft, spacecraft and weapons systems have an onboard computer network known as military standard 1553, commonly referred to as MIL-STD-1553, or even just 1553.
A technique already known in cybersecurity circles, called moving target defense (MTD), can effectively protect MIL-STD-1553 networks against a machine-learning algorithm.
Like a game of three-card monte, in which a con artist uses sleight of hand to shuffle cards side-to-side, moving target defense requires randomness. Without it, the defense unravels.”
