Download date: 04. Oct. 2021 Chapter 1 Explaining Cybersecurity with Films and the Arts Luca Viganò Abstract There are a large number of movies, TV series, novels, short stories and even plays about cybersecurity and, in particular, about hackers. Some are good, some are so-so, most are frankly quite bad. Some are realistic, most make cybersecurity experts cringe. In this paper, I discuss how a number of basic cybersecurity notions (and even several advanced ones) can be explained with the help of some well-known popular movies and other artworks, and some perhaps less obvious ones. I focus in particular on anonymity, pseudonymity and authentication, but similar explanations can be given for other security properties, for the algorithms, protocols and systems that have been developed to achieve such properties, and for the vulnerabilities and attacks that they suffer from. 1.1 Introduction Inspired by the Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) program of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) of the United States Department of Defense, Daniele Magazzeni and I proposed a new paradigm in security research: Explainable Security (XSec). In [36], we discussed the “Six Ws” of XSec (Who? What? Where? When? Why? and How?, as summarized in Fig. 1.1) and argued that XSec has unique and complex characteristics: XSec involves several different stakeholders (i.e., the system’s developers, analysts, users and attackers) and is multi- faceted by nature, as it requires reasoning about system model, threat model and properties of security, privacy and trust as well as concrete attacks, vulnerabilities and countermeasures. We defined a roadmap for XSec that identifies several possible research directions. In this paper, I address one of these directions. I discuss how a number of basic cybersecurity notions (and even several advanced ones) can be explained with the Luca Viganò Department of Informatics, King’s College London, London, UK, e-mail: [email protected] 1 2 L. Viganò Who gives the explanation? Who receives the explanation? How to explain security? Who? What is explained? How? What? Explainable Security (XSec) Why? Where? Why do we need XSec? Where is the explanation? When? When is the explanation given? Fig. 1.1: The Six Ws of Explainable Security (from [36]) help of some well-known popular movies and other artworks, and some perhaps less obvious ones. I focus in particular on anonymity, pseudonymity and authentication, but similar explanations can be given for other security properties, for the algorithms, protocols and systems that have been developed to achieve such properties, and for the vulnerabilities and attacks that they suffer from. In [36], we gave a detailed list of who gives the explanations but also who receives them, and pointed out that the recipients of the explanations might be varied, ranging from experts to laypersons; in particular, non-expert users will need to receive an explanation of how to interact with a security system, why the system is secure and why it carries out a particular action. To that end, it will be necessary to explain the security notions, properties and mechanisms in a language, and in a way, that is understandable by the laypersons and does not scare them off. In practice, however, users are rarely given such explanations and thus end up being frustrated and disillusioned by security systems, which might lead them to making mistakes that turn the systems into systems vulnerable to attacks. Clear and simple explanations with popular movies and the arts allow experts to target the laypersons, reducing the mental and temporal effort required of them and increasing their understanding, and ultimately their willingness to engage with security systems. One way to do that would be to refer to the myriad of movies, TV series and books about hackers and cybersecurity in general, some of which are quite realistic in their depiction of cyberattacks (e.g., Sneakers [28], Live Free or Die Hard [40], The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo [25, 14], Mr. Robot [13]), some are more, let’s say, 1 Explaining Cybersecurity with Films and the Arts 3 “inventive”, giving hackers and code breakers almost superhero-like abilities (e.g., Fortress [15], The Net [39], Hackers [33], Swordfish [31] as well as Independence Day [12] in which humans are able to log into the network of the alien ships and infect them with a computer virus, as a fairly unrealistic reference to the way in which Martian invaders are killed by an onslaught of earthly germs in the 1898 novel The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells [38], famously adapted for the radio by Orson Wells in 1938 and for the screen by Steven Spielberg and many others). In future work, I plan to conduct studies and surveys to quantify to what extent such quite technical movies can help in explaining cybersecurity to laypersons. My feeling is that these movies are mainly aiming to stimulate sympathy in a young and nerdie, tech-savvy audience and at the same time elicit a “wow” response in the non-expert audience. That is, they are trying to impress (and to advance the plot and our recognition of the hero(s) as the special one(s)), rather than trying to make the audience understand. In this paper, I will instead take a different approach and focus on popular movies and artworks, where cybersecurity is not the main theme or plot keyword, and show how even these can be used to explain cybersecurity notions. 1.2 Security properties explained Picture this. A battlefield, 71 B.C. The Roman soldiers have crushed the revolt of the gladiators and slaves led by Spartacus. Many of the rebels have been killed in the battle, while Spartacus, his right-hand man Antoninus and the other surviving rebels have been captured and are sitting in chains on a hillside. There is just one catch: the Romans don’t know who Spartacus is. So, the Roman general addresses the prisoners: “I bring a message from your master, Marcus Licinius Crassus, commander of Italy. By command of his most merciful excellency, your lives are to be spared. Slaves you were and slaves you’ll remain, but the terrible penalty of crucifixion has been set aside under single condition that you identify the body or the living person of the slave called Spartacus.” A beat. Spartacus stands up and opens his mouth to speak, but Antoninus (who was aptly sitting at Spartacus’ right) leaps to his feet and shouts “I’m Spartacus!”, quickly followed by the slave to Spartacus’ left. To the bewilderment of the real Spartacus and of the Roman general, soon each of the prisoners around Spartacus is insisting “I’m Spartacus!” (well, actually, everyone except Spartacus himself). This is probably the most famous scene of the movie Spartacus [19] and the original novel by Howard Fast contains a similar narration, but the script by Dalton Trumbo and the mise-en-scène by Stanley Kubrick turned it into a crisper and more powerful scene.1 1 So powerful that it has been imitated, referenced or parodied in several other movies, TV shows and even advertisements, such as in the “O Captain! My Captain!” scene in Dead Poets Society [37] although the reason for which the students climb on their desks is quite different from that of Spartacus’ rebels as the students want to salute their English teacher, Professor Keating, who has 4 L. Viganò What just happened? In order to protect Spartacus, Antoninus and the other prisoners have created what in technical terms is called an anonymity set: given that all the prisoners are claiming to be Spartacus, it is impossible for the Romans to identify who is the real Spartacus. In other words, Spartacus is anonymous as he is not identifiable within the set of the prisoners. One can of course give a formal definition of anonymity [26] — and this is what one would do in front of an expert audience, say in a talk at a conference or in a univer- sity lecture on cybersecurity – but the point here is that even non-specialists immedi- ately understand what Antoninus and the other prisoners are doing and why.

    PRESS KIT THE EUROPEAN ROAD OF D’ARTAGNAN: FIRST EUROPEAN EQUESTRIAN ROUTE Open to all hiking practices 2 First European equestrian Route certified by the Council of Europe, the European Route D’Artagnan is a physical and linear hiking route, established on basis of historical and literary documents which retrace the epic of Charles de Batz de Castelmore D’Artagnan born in Lupiac in Gascony (FR) around 1615, and died at the siege of Maastricht (NL) on June 25, 1673. The life of the musketeers who accompanied D’Artagnan or who have any link with this itinerary have enriched this theme. Historically speaking, the Route takes up the peregrinations of the Captain-Lieutenant of the First Company of Musketeers who accompanied King Louis XIV on all his travels, in the 17th century, as well as the paths taken during “special missions” entrusted by the King or by Cardinal Mazarin, his Prime Minister, in 6 countries and 15 regions. On the literary level, D’Artagnan was made famous thanks to three novels by Alexandre Dumas published in the 19th century: Les Trois Mousquetaires (1844), Vingt ans après (1845) and Le vicomte de Bragelonne (1847). The novels of Alexandre Dumas have been translated into many languages and have undergone multiple adaptations (films, cartoons, novels, plays, musicals, comics, manga, etc.) in several languages, which have popularized the character and made him a “swashbuckling hero” known over the world. D’Artagnan is a unique historical figure, an instantly recognizable musketeer silhouette, with a finely trimmed mustache and beard, indicative of an era, which has stood the test of time without losing its strength or modernity.

  • Les Trois Mousquetaires I A.Dumas April 12-30, 2019 of Course I Read 'The Three Musketeers' When I Was a Child. in a Swedish
    Les trois mousquetaires I A.Dumas April 12-30, 2019 Of course I read ’The three musketeers’ when I was a child. In a Swedish translation of course, and at the age of ten or so I guess. Maybe I even reread it a few years later, if so at the age of 15 I guess. But that is speculation. I do remember that I found the book very exciting, and the names of Athos, Aramis and Porthos and their personalities became deeply engrave din memory (unlike those of their servants). But what did i really remember of it, except that I found it profoundly enjoyable. When it comes to specifics there are only a few fragments which linger in my memory. That d’Artagnan came from Gascony, and that it was important. That the musketeers got up at six o’clock in the summer at at eight in the winter (it is actually repeated once in the original text), and why should this stick in my memory? Maybe because it indicated a that every day was an adventure, as opposed to attending school? Also their signal of friendship ’One for all, and all for one’ which I now encounter for the first time in the French original (Tous pour un, un pour tous). I also recall the king Louis XIII and the Cardinal Richelieu, and that much action seems to take place around ’Jardin de Luxembourg’ which made this place somehow ’sacred’ to me during my visits to Paris. But of the actual plot, nothing at all! Reading the book now I wonder what could have excited a young boy? The intimations of love and sex? Hardly.

  • Les Laquais Des Trois Mousquetaires
    Belphégor Daniel Couégnas Université de Nantes Les laquais des trois mousquetaires En arrière-plan du récit, dans l'ombre de leurs maîtres, les quatre valets des Trois Mousquetaires nous permettent d'illustrer l'ambiguïté du statut des personnages secondaires dans la littérature romanesque populaire. Leur relative discrétion n'exclut nullement que nous examinions avec attention les fonctions diverses qu'ils remplissent dans le livre de Dumas. Ils participent à la mise en place du « décor » historique du roman. Ils se substituent parfois au narrateur tout en jouant leur rôle au sein de l'action. Ils contribuent modestement à « tirer » le lecteur du côté de la vision idéologique portée par le roman. Enfin, ils assument pour l'essentiel les fonctions comique et ludique dévolues au « petit personnel » de la littérature de grande consommation. L'étude porte sur la première partie de la trilogie des Mousquetaires.1 1. Fonction référentielle Les « valets » ou « laquais » - Dumas utilise indifféremment les deux termes - font partie du « fond de décor » historique du roman. Il contribuent à leur - modeste - place à représenter l'époque à laquelle se situe l'action : le règne de Louis XIII au temps de Richelieu. Ils s'inscrivent dans la catégorie nommée par Philippe Hamon « personnages référentiels »2. Comme tels, ils suggèrent au lecteur une certaine réalité historique, sociale, comportementale, qui peut en fait se réduire à un ensemble de représentations idéologiques. Cependant, en tant qu'êtres littéraires, ils ne sont pas si simples. En dépit de traits fortement caricaturaux - on songe ici notamment à Grimaud et à Bazin -, ce ne sont pas totalement des marionnettes par l'intermédiaire desquelles le romancier s'interdirait tout effet réaliste.
