Data confidence 85 high
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The paper addresses the issue of threat modeling in wireless networks using data on their information and communication infrastructure. The structure of such networks, their features, and open sources of security data for threat modeling are analyzed. A technique for threat modeling based on data on information and communication infrastructure of wireless networks, their vulnerabilities, weaknesses, and attacks, is proposed. The technique involves a hierarchical threat model constructed using attack graphs and open-source security data, taking into account the types of wireless network components, along with an algorithm for its construction, which considers the stages of the attack. The technique is validated using a toy wireless network.
