This paper presents a study on the implementation of nuclear security’s knowledge in the brazilian reality, sharing the promotion of nuclear security education, aligned to guidelines and orientations of the IAEA, and covering fields such as The Regulatory Area and The Non- Regulatory Area. The study takes into account the acts of terrorism that indicate the use or threat of use of radioactive material, radiological weapons or even nuclear weapons, including local attacks where such materials are present. The Nuclear Security planning in a country includes everything. From planning a safety project from a core of a nuclear reactor to planning a gym's safety. It also includes physical security plan, safeguards plan, information security, the society's alert about any risk and actions to prevent and detect the different types of threats, such as the risk of sabotage, illegal transfer of radioactive material, among others.

Basic Concepts

This paper deals with the basic aspects of Honeypots, their use in modem computer networks and their implementation in educational environments. Initially, the implementation of Honeypots solves a common problem of Information Security and Forensics: The dissection of the elements that make up an attack against a computer system. Next, the paper explains the different types and functions of Honeypots once they are implemented in a network in order to make a distinction in terms of what is needed for the Honeypot to do. Finally, the use of Honeypots in educational environments, its benefits and the use of virtualization technologies is discussed.

Cryptographic Techniques

The general population increasingly uses digital services, meaning services which are delivered over the internet or an electronic network, and events such as pandemics have accelerated the need of using new digital services. Governments have also increased their number of digital services, however, these digital services still lack of sufficient information security, particularly integrity. Blockchain uses cryptographic techniques that allow decentralization and increase the integrity of the information it handles, but it still has disadvantages in terms of efficiency, making it incapable of implementing some digital services where a high rate of transactions are required. In order to increase its efficient, a multi-layer proposal based on blockchain is presented. It has four layers, where each layer specializes in a different type of information and uses properties of public blockchain and private blockchain. An statistical analysis is performed and the proposal is modeled showing that it maintains and even increases the integrity of the information while preserving the efficiency of transactions. Besides, the proposal can be flexible and adapt to different types of digital services. It also considers that voluntary nodes participate in the decentralization of information making it more secure, verifiable, transparent and reliable.

System Characteristics

Modern wide development of science and technology causes the growth of information needs in all branches of human development. At present, there are all opportunities to increase information security by combining sources of information into a single system. At the same time, when merging, specific difficulties and features emerge, which together make it difficult to implement the proposed solutions. The paper considers the peculiarity of combining different types of radar stations into a single information system. Errors of measurements of separate parameters and their influence on system characteristics are considered. Options for solving the problems that have arisen are proposed.

Effective Use

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the role of tabletop exercises (TTXs) in graduate nuclear security education, their effectiveness and their relationship to traditional forms of classroom instruction. The paper highlights both the benefits and challenges of TTX implementation—the former including higher student motivation and material retention, and the latter including motivational shifts toward “winning” and possible student exclusionary behavior. Design/methodology/approach Survey results from 49 former students in a US university were collected electronically and combined with anecdotal evidence from student, facilitator and teaching assistant interviews following five iterations of a specifically designed, semester-long, TTX case study. The case study focused on securing a fictional nuclear facility. Findings Students found the TTX more memorable and retained more course material when asked to compare the TTX’s effectiveness to long-term course projects in other courses. Their in-class motivations tended to shift from traditional classroom motivations toward “winning,” and “not letting down their classmates.” In some iterations, students also observed classmates becoming more tempted to cheat or otherwise violate academic ethics. Mitigation strategies to prevent such temptations (e.g. removing direct student vs student TTX structures) were found to be effective. Originality/value This is the first report on the effective use of a semester-long TTX in a graduate nuclear security classroom. The flexibility of this instructional tool demonstrates its applicability to other classroom subjects including homeland security, emergency management, disease outbreak management and public policy among others.
