International water law and the quest for common security
… that water is the gossamer linking various other security issues – e.g., energy, food and environment – it seems obvious that ‘business as usual’ in transboundary water management will threaten future global stability and endanger the very foundation of international security. Yet, the much needed …

The EU’s Approach to Peacebuilding in Common Security and Defence Policy Missions and Operations
… of the EU’s approach to peacebuilding in its Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) missions and operations. The thesis explores why EU missions carry out mainly post-conflict peacebuilding tasks and whether the shift towards peacebuilding is about a substantial change of EU norms. The …

Developing and utilising a realist-constructivist analytical framework towards understanding the European Union’s Common Security and Defence Policy
… the development of the European Union’s Common Security and Defence Policy. This thesis challenges ‘paradigmatic thinking’ within the discipline of International Relations to demonstrate that constructivist elements are not only commensurable to realist analysis of international …

How national diversity shapes the future of a genuine common European security and defence policy
… of Lisbon has been the renaming of the European Security and Defence Policy (ESDP): since December 2009 the EU does not only have a Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP), it also has a Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP). When the Treaty of Lisbon entered into force, this 'upgrade' have …

The failure of the SADC organ : regional security arrangements in southern Africa, 1992-2003
… and strategies of peacemaking and regional security. The formation of the SADC Organ on Politics, Defence and Security Co-operation, a common security regime, was bedevilled by acrimonious disputes among member states over a ten-year period. ... The process of drafting SADC's Mutual Defence …

The operation of alloy junction transistors as large signal pulse amplifiers in the active region.
… Nine thesis questions were generated to look at common security problems faced by enterprises in large networks. Research was predominantly gathered through personal interviews with professionals in the computer security area from both the public and private sector. The data was then analyzed to …

Security in home IoT environments
This thesis investigates the overall security of home IoT environments and how to remediate most of the common security issues in IoT environments. The assumption is made that most IoT environments are poorly or lazily configured when it comes to security. The methods used to research the security …

Design and implementation of a secure energy-efficient hardware platform for wireless sensor networks
… cost, and tradeoffs must be made between security and energy efficiency, as the energy consumption of these nodes dictates their lifetime. In previous work, a cryptographic accelerator [1] was proposed to speed up and reduce energy consumption of cryptographic primitives. The cryptographic …

Overcoming shadows of the past : post-conflict interstate reconciliation in East Asia and Europe
… outcomes. Realist theory argues that common security interests solely drive post-conflict reconciliation. I develop the second theory, historical mythmaking theory, which suggests that elite mythmaking of the conflict history for instrumental purposes will obstruct long-term …

The ‘Institutional effect’ over EU defence cooperation initiative: The case of preferential patterns of behaviour in the Permanent Structured Cooperation
… the last decade, a confluence of strategic and security concerns has threatened the European Union’s survival both within and beyond its political dimension. As a result, security and defence have risen to the top of the EU’s political agenda, culminating in the approval of the EU Global …

Automated security analysis of payment protocols
… freshness, acknowledgement and non-repudiation. Common security primitives such as encryption, decryption, digital signatures, message digests, message authentication codes and X.509 certificates are modeled. Using TGPay, PTGPA performs analyses of payment protocols under two scenarios in full …

Mostly-static decentralized information flow control
… mechanisms for ensuring privacy and secrecy. Common security mechanisms such as sand boxing and access control are either too restrictive or too weak -- they prevent applications from sharing data usefully, or allow private information to leak. For example, security mechanisms in Java prevent …

Development of a Reference Design for a Cyber-Physical System
… a reference design to assist in the selection of security practices in power electronics design. A prototype will be developed from this reference design for evaluation. This evaluation will include a brief cost/benefit analysis to gauge the efficacy of implementing each layer of security …

Access and information flow control to secure mobile web service compositions in resource constrained environments
… interest in robust mechanisms for ensuring security for such information sharing services. Common security mechanisms such as access control and information flow control are either restrictive or weak in that they prevent applications from sharing data usefully, and/or allow private …

Security systems based on Gaussian integers : Analysis of basic operations and time complexity of secret transformations
Many security algorithms currently in use rely heavily on integer arithmetic modulo prime numbers. Gaussian integers can be used with most security algorithms that are formulated for real integers. The aim of this work is to study the benefits of common security protocols with Gaussian integers. …

Towards Effective Masquerade Attack Detection
… underground economy. Masquerade attacks are a common security problem that is a consequence of identity theft and that is generally motivated by data theft. Such attacks are characterized by a system user illegitimately posing as another legitimate user. Prevention-focused solutions such as …

The development of European defence integration since 2017
… the European Union’s state of defence and security. Long an issue member states have struggled to fully integrate on, due to nationalistic and sovereign concerns and heavy reliance on NATO. With the largest war in Europe since WWII and a weakened Transatlantic relationship, concerns over …

The State of European Defence Policy and the Value(s) of Intervention
European security and defence policy has developed at a significant rate since the late 1990s. As a growing field of analysis, there have been few studies to date that have explored the foreign and domestic implications of the European Union's emerging security and defence policies. This thesis …
