💭 ‘Fuzzy Logic Inferencing in Security Applications’ with Raymond Garcia

The next Trashpanda Village meetup is Thursday, March 16th at 6:00 p.m. See you there!

Fuzzy Logic Inferencing in Security Applications

Fuzzy Logic has been around since the 1960’s. There is an open standard for a fuzzy control language, several libraries exist that ease the implementation of applications, and its use is (sometimes unwittingly) necessary in situations where human expertise does not have closed-form expressions for metrics that have “degrees of membership” (think secure vs “very” secure, small vs “really” small, etc.). Since the 1960’s, the uses of fuzzy logic include areas of automatic control, quality control, industrial processes, investment strategies, component testing, pattern recognition, and classification. Applications of information assurance soon followed in multi-level secure database access, network security assessments, threat detection, and risk analysis to name a few.

What this presentation aims to achieve via illustrative examples and demonstrations is to inform the audience on fuzzy logic & inferencing in its application to security.
