Foundations of Attack Trees

open access: yesLecture Notes in Computer Science, 2006
Attack trees have found their way to practice because they have proved to be an intuitive aid in threat analysis. Despite, or perhaps thanks to, their apparent simplicity, they have not yet been provided with an unambiguous semantics. We argue that such a formal interpretation is indispensable to precisely understand how attack trees can be manipulated

Automated Generation of Attack Trees

open access: yes2014 IEEE 27th Computer Security Foundations Symposium, 2014
Attack trees are widely used to represent threat scenarios in a succinct and intuitive manner, suitable for conveying security information to non-experts. The manual construction of such objects relies on the creativity and experience of specialists, and therefore it is error-prone and impracticable for large systems.

Semi-automatically Augmenting Attack Trees Using an Annotated Attack Tree Library

open access: yes, 2018
We present a method for assisting the semi-automatic creation of attack trees. Our method allows to explore a library of attack trees, select elements from this library that can be attached to an attack tree in construction, and determine how the attachment should be done. The process is supported by a predicate-based formal annotation of attack trees.

Attack Trees: A Notion of Missing Attacks

open access: yes, 2019
Attack trees are widely used for security modeling and risk analysis. Classically, an attack tree combines possible actions of the attacker into attacks. In most existing approaches, an attack tree represents generic ways of attacking a system, but without taking any specific system or its configuration into account.

An Extension of Attack Trees

Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing, 2018
Attack trees provide a model to describe the security of a system based on the possibility of various attacks. In this paper, we propose the concept of “attack graphs” as an extension of attack trees, wherein directed acyclic graphs are used to depict possible attacks on a system.

Exploiting Bayesian Networks for the Analysis of Combined Attack Trees [PDF]

open access: yesElectronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science, 2015
The growing need to find proper countermeasures able to protect critical infrastructures from threats has addressed the definition of quantitative methodologies for risk assessment. One of the most difficult aspects in this topic is the evaluation of the

Attack trees in Isabelle extended with probabilities for quantum cryptography [PDF]

open access: yesComputers and Security, 2019
In this paper, we present a proof calculus for Attack Trees and how its application to Quantum Cryptography is made possible by extending the framework to probabilistic reasoning on attacks.

On the Soundness of Attack Trees

2016
We formally define three notions of soundness of an attack tree w.r.t. the system it refers to: admissibility, consistency, and completeness. The system is modeled as a labeled transition system and the attack is provided with semantics in terms of paths of the transition system.

On Validating Attack Trees with Attack Effects

2020
Threats or attacks can be decomposed into more primitive attacks/events by attack trees. These trees can show possible scenarios of threats. In addition, the quantitative properties of attacks, called attributes, can be integrated along with the tree structures.
