Le terme de vulnérabilité (zranitelnost) n’apparaît ni dans la jurisprudence de la Cour constitutionnelle (Ústavní soud) de la République tchèque (« Cour constitutionnelle ») ni dans les actes juridiques formant l’ordre constitutionnel de cette dernière. Ceci étant, la prise en compte de la vulnérabilité transparaît à travers l’ensemble du corps juridique dans la mesure où il s’agit d’une propriété qui est consubstantielle à l’homme et qui l’accompagne donc dans l’ensemble de son activité. En effet, être vulnérable c’est être susceptible « de subir des blessures », que ce soit sur le plan physique, psychologique ou social. Puisque le droit protège l’intégrité physique, psychologique et sociale de l’homme de différentes façons, l’analyse de la protection constitutionnelle de la vulnérabilité de ce dernier devrait couvrir le champ matériel très vaste qu’occupent la législation et la jurisprudence en la matière. De plus, lorsqu’il se penche, notamment, sur le travail du juge « ordinaire », le juge constitutionnel est souvent sollicité afin d’examiner la constitutionnalité de ce travail pour des raisons détachées de la préoccupation matérielle à l’origine du litige donné, ce qui rend la recherche en ce domaine particulièrement complexe. Il nous semble donc plus intéressant de concentrer notre étude sur ce qui constitue, selon nous, l’apport spécifique du juge constitutionnel à la protection juridique de la vulnérabilité, à savoir la prise en compte de la vulnérabilité découlant d’une inégalité. A cet égard, l’ordre constitutionnel et la jurisprudence constitutionnelle tchèques consacrent, sous diverses expressions, l’objectif de protection juridique des personnes dont les dispositions naturelles (capacités physiques, facultés psychologiques) ou opportunités sociales sont, à titre temporaire ou permanent, amoindries, ce qui les expose à des « blessures » (physiques, psychologique ou sociales) résultant d’abus de la part d’autrui ou de l’inadaptation du milieu environnant. Les sources de droit constitutionnel tchèque nous enseignent, en effet, que les causes productrices d’une vulnérabilité « naturelle » sont notamment celles liées à l’âge (mineur, personne âgée), à l’état de santé (personne handicapée, personne malade) ou sexe des personnes (femme) tandis que les limites qui s’imposent à un individu du fait de ses opportunités sociales peuvent avoir pour origine sa situation financière (personnes ayant droit à l’aide juridique), sa sous-représentation politique (minorité), son statut professionnel (salarié), son inexpérience professionnelle (consommateur) ou encore un déséquilibre de l’offre et de la demande sur un marché important pour la vie de chacun (locataire). Si certains des exemples précités ont été entièrement forgés dans le prétoire du juge constitutionnel, d’autres disposent d’un ancrage constitutionnel textuel sans avoir nécessairement fait l’objet d’une spécification judiciaire. Il s’agira donc pour nous d’examiner le raisonnement par lequel ce dernier décide, ou refuse, de compenser une vulnérabilité caractérisée par une inégalité réexistante. [less ▲]

Slowly, but consistently, the digital gap between developing and developed countries is being closed. Everyday, there are initiatives towards relying on ICT to simplify the interaction between citizens and their governments in developing countries. E-government is thus becoming a reality: in Burkina Faso, all government bodies are taking part in this movement with web portals dedicated to serving the public. Unfortunately, in this rush to promote government actions within this trend of digitization, little regards is given to the security of such web sites. In many cases, government highly critical web sites are simply produced in a product line fashion using Content Management Systems which the webmasters do not quite master. We discuss in this study our findings on empirically assessing the security of govern- ment websites in Burkina Faso. By systematically scanning these websites for simple and well-known vulnerabilities, we were able to discover issues that deserved urgent attention. As an example, we were able to crawl from temporary backup files in a government web site all information (hostname, login and password in clear) to read and write directly in the database and for impersonating the administrator of the website. We also found that around 50% of the government websites are built on top of platforms suffering from 14 publicly known vulnerabilities, and thus can be readily attacked by any hacker. [less ▲]

Much effort has been put into improving the predictability of real-time systems, especially in safety-critical environments, which provides designers with a rich set of methods and tools to attest safety in situations with no or a limited number of accidental faults. However, with increasing connectivity of real-time systems and a wide availability of increasingly sophisticated exploits, security and, in particular, the consequences of predictability on security become concerns of equal importance. Time-triggered scheduling with offline constructed tables provides determinism and simplifies timing inference, however, at the same time, time-triggered scheduling creates vulnerabilities by allowing attackers to target their attacks to specific, deterministically scheduled and possibly safety-critical tasks. In this paper, we analyze the severity of these vulnerabilities by assuming successful compromise of a subset of the tasks running in a real-time system and by investigating the attack potential that attackers gain from them. Moreover, we discuss two ways to mitigate direct attacks: slot-level online randomization of schedules, and offline schedule-diversification. We evaluate these mitigation strategies with a real-world case study to show their practicability for mitigating not only accidentally malicious behavior, but also malicious behavior triggered by attackers on purpose.

In the present paper, the problem of attacks on cyber-physical systems via networked control system (NCS) subject to unmeasured disturbances is considered. The geometric approach is used to evaluate the security and vulnerability level of the controlled system. The presented work deals with the so-called false data injection attacks and shows how imperfectly known disturbances can be used to perform undetectable, or at least stealthy, attacks that can make the NCS vulnerable to attacks from malicious outsiders. A numerical example is given to illustrate the approach. [less ▲]

Vulnerability is a term often discussed in relation to the movement and settlement of refugees. In policies and practices of reception, vulnerability is used as a tool to direct services and aid toward ‘vulnerable refugees’ but also to justify increasingly hostile migration policies toward those who are not deemed ‘vulnerable enough’. Yet, as a concept a systematic definition of vulnerability is missing and multiple understandings are often implicitly employed in scientific literature and policies. Thus, the objective of the current study was to explore how vulnerability, articulated as an embedded, multi-layered and dynamic analytical concept, may aid our understanding of the lived experiences of a group of potentially ‘vulnerable’ migrants, based on contextual conditions. Specifically, the talk will examine how conditions of structural, situational and experiential vulnerability may affect the subjective future imaginaries of young adults (18-30) who obtained refugee status in Luxembourg but still live in ‘temporary’ reception centres. Data were drawn from 15 in-depth semi-structured interviews conducted in the context of the H2020 project MIMY and were analysed by means of qualitative content analysis. The results suggest that limited future educational and employment opportunities promote the structural vulnerability of this group, yet different levels of awareness and types of reactions to these limitations emerged. Moreover, episodes of discrimination, even if sporadic, can create conditions of situational vulnerability which strongly affected their future imaginaries. Finally, looking at the future some participants reported conditions of experiential vulnerability accompanied by feelings of uncertainty and difficulties in picturing their future. In conclusion, despite subjective differences in experiences and reactions, the precarious and disadvantageous position young refugees hold in the country, combined with their isolation in reception centres, promoted the vulnerability of this group and did have an impact on their outlook, plans, and ability to achieve their goals in the future.

The notions of ‘vulnerability’ and ‘vulnerable group’ have increasingly gained prominence in academic literature, policymaking, humanitarian debates and everyday discourses on migration and asylum. Its popularity, not limited to this field, has often led academics and practitioners to use ‘vulnerability’ as a self-explanatory condition or phenomenon. However, vulnerability is neither conceptually straight-forward nor politically and morally neutral. Multiple definitions and operationalizations of vulnerability exist across and within different fields of research and practice, without a common and systematic understanding of the concept. The notion of vulnerability can also be instrumentilised as a tool for discrimination, stigmatization, control, exclusion or even reduction of humanitarian assistance, when access to protection is restricted to ‘the most vulnerable’. In the context of the H2020 project MIMY (n°870700), this paper examines the multiplicities and hidden pitfalls behind different conceptualizations and uses of vulnerability and critically reflects on their implication for the study and governance of migration. By unpacking this concept, we hope to highlight both limitations and opportunities enclosed in the notion of vulnerability and encourage migration scholars to understand, address and take a stand before its complexities. Based on these considerations, a multilevel conceptual model of vulnerability in the specific context of migration is proposed. The model aims to capture several types and understandings of vulnerability and how these are (re)produced at different levels and by different actors, including migrants themselves. Particular attention is paid to migrants’ biographical and psychological experiences of vulnerability and how policy and political frameworks may affect them. [less ▲]

The notion of “vulnerability” occupies a central role in academic literature, policymaking, humanitarian debates, and everyday discourses on migration and asylum. Its popularity has led some academics and practitioners to use “vulnerability” as a self-explanatory condition or phenomenon. However, a common and systematic understanding of the concept is still missing, and the moral and political meaning often ascribed to this notion may have (un)intended detrimental consequences for those migrants deemed vulnerable. Thus, this paper sets out to critically unpack and highlight the complexities hidden behind this notion in order to provide a conceptual analysis of vulnerability in the context of migration. We do so by (1) providing an overview of definitions of vulnerability across different fields of research, (2) identifying common conceptualizations or types of vulnerability and discussing their implications, and (3) highlighting possible negative societal and psychological consequences of its implementation in the context of migration. Finally, we propose (4) a new conceptual model for understanding vulnerability in the context of migration, showing how this notion can become a useful analytical tool in migration research.

Vulnerability has become a key concept in discourses and policies on international protection and reception of refugees. In this context, the notion has been described as a tool to provide special provisions to groups at higher risk or one to perpetuate political agendas within increasingly hostile reception systems. However, vulnerability as an analytical concept has received less attention, with both policymakers and scholars often employing different conceptualisations of vulnerability or treating it as a self-explanatory condition. Building on a previous conceptual elaboration, this paper sets out to apply an understanding of vulnerability as multi-layered, dynamic and embedded in a study of the lived experiences of a group of potentially ‘vulnerable’ migrants, based on ‘fixed’ contextual criteria. Drawing from in-depth interviews with young adults who obtained refugee status in Luxembourg but still live in ‘temporary’ reception centres, this paper provides a wide analytical overview of the conditions of vulnerability encountered by this specific group of migrants, in the process of building their lives in a new country. Following the participants’ subjective temporal imaginaries of past, present and future, the analysis highlights and problematises conditions of structural, situational and experiential vulnerability emerging from their accounts and experiences, and discusses their possible implications.

To assist the vulnerability identification process, researchers proposed prediction models that highlight (for inspection) the most likely to be vulnerable parts of a system. In this paper we aim at making a reliable replication and comparison of the main vulnerability prediction models. Thus, we seek for determining their effectiveness, i.e., their ability to distinguish between vulnerable and non-vulnerable components, in the context of the Linux Kernel, under different scenarios. To achieve the above-mentioned aims, we mined vulnerabilities reported in the National Vulnerability Database and created a large dataset with all vulnerable components of Linux from 2005 to 2016. Based on this, we then built and evaluated the prediction models. We observe that an approach based on the header files included and on function calls performs best when aiming at future vulnerabilities, while text mining is the best technique when aiming at random instances. We also found that models based on code metrics perform poorly. We show that in the context of the Linux kernel, vulnerability prediction models can be superior to random selection and relatively precise. Thus, we conclude that practitioners have a valuable tool for prioritizing their security inspection efforts. [less ▲]
