Cyber security of endpoint elements
Fabík, Václav ; Procházka, Rudolf (referee) ; Smékal, Zdeněk (advisor)
This paper describes the design of cyber security for endpoints working on the ARM hardware architecture with the Linux operating system and using the TCP/IP and UDP/IP protocols for network communication. In the introduction, the reader is introduced to the basic concepts of cyber security as well as to the public key infrastructure (PKI) and ways of establishing a secure connection. The reader is introduced to the basic security techniques and the standard regulating security for industrial automation systems. In the practical part, the threat assessment of the presented network infrastructure is elaborated, and security functions that are embedded in NXP i.MX 7 processors and can be used for the cryptographic security of these devices are described.

Threat Assessments and Intelligence Sharing: Toward Desecuritisation of School Shootings in the United States
Roth, Caitlyn Regan ; Anceschi, Luca (advisor) ; Hynek, Nikola (referee) ; Dowd, Caitriona (referee)
'The first step in developing effective assessment approaches and appropriate policy is to identify clearly the types of behavior or outcomes that one is trying to prevent' (Chavez, 1999; Furlong & Morrison, 2000 quoted in Reddy et al, 2001, 158-59). This dissertation answers the question of why a skewed perception of risk exists for the threat of school shootings in the United States. It further seeks to propose the creation of an intelligence database to inform threat assessment teams in schools to increase knowledge of threat communications and behaviours of potential shooters. This assessment is significant to understanding how the skewed assessment of risk negatively impacts the implementation of prevention policies, resulting in a failure to prevent school shootings and lasting detrimental consequences on the learning environment. By applying the Copenhagen School's securitisation theory to US policy responses, discursive language will be analyzed to support the claim that school shootings are perceived as an existential threat to the United States, marking a successful securitisation. A within case analysis of unfavorable policies will inform the selection of a policy recognized in the research as a positive step toward achieving desecuritisation. The policy, behavioural threat assessment,...
