    • Low Cost Automated Security Audit System 

      Fernández-Arruti Gallego, Pedro; Estévez Pereira, Julio Jairo; Nóvoa, Francisco; Dafonte, Carlos; Fernández, Diego (MDPI, 2021)
      [Abstract] In recent years, a quick transition towards digitization has been observed in most organizations. Along with it, certain inherent problems have appeared, such as the increase in cyber threats. Large organizations ...
    • Mouse Behavior Analysis Based on Artificial Intelligence as a Second-Phase Authentication System 

      Garabato, D.; Rodríguez García, Jorge; Nóvoa, Francisco; Dafonte, Carlos (MDPI AG, 2019-08-01)
      [Abstract] Nowadays, a wide variety of computer systems use authentication protocols based on several factors in order to enhance security. In this work, the viability of a second-phase authentication scheme based on users’ ...
    • QKDNetSim+: Improvement of the quantum network simulator for NS-3 

      Soler, David; Cillero Seijas, Iván; Dafonte, Carlos; Fernández Veiga, Manuel; Fernández Vilas, Ana; Nóvoa, Francisco (Elsevier, 2024)
      [Abstract]: The first Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) networks are currently being deployed, but the implementation cost is still prohibitive for most researchers. As such, there is a need for realistic QKD network simulators. ...
