Don’t Tell Me the Cybersecurity Moon Is Shining…

Cybersecurity Show and Tell

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Imagine Math 8

Abstract

“Show, don’t tell” has become the literary commandment for any writer. It applies to all forms of fiction, and to non-fiction, including scientific writing, where it lies at the heart of many scientific communication and storytelling approaches. In this chapter, I discuss how “show and tell” is actually often the best approach when one wants to present, teach, or explain complicated ideas such as those underlying notions and results in mathematics and science and in particular in cybersecurity. I discuss how different kinds of artworks can be used to explain cybersecurity, and I illustrate how telling (i.e., explaining notions in a formal technical way) can be paired with showing through visual storytelling or other forms of storytelling. I also discuss four categories of artworks and the explanations they help provide.

    In 1921, the advertising trade journal “Printer’s Ink” published an article by Frederick R. Barnard titled “One Look is Worth a Thousand Words” in which Barnard claims that the phrase has Japanese origin. But in 1927, “Printer’s Ink” published an advert by Barnard with the phrase “One Picture Worth Ten Thousand Words,” where it is labeled a Chinese proverb. The Japanese and Chinese attributions were meant to give it more credibility, a sense of gravitas and a touch of mystery and philosophy, so much so that the proverb is nowadays commonly, and wrongly, attributed to the Chinese philosopher and politician Confucius.

    “Show and tell” is also the name of a common classroom activity in elementary schools, especially in English-speaking countries, in which a child brings an item from home and explains to the class why he/she chose that item and other relevant information. This activity is useful also for adults [17], but it is quite different from the show and tell that Roam champions and the one that I discuss here.

  4. 4.

    This is an homage to another great car chase, the one in “To Live and Die in L.A.” [27].

  5. 5.

    This is reminiscent of the way in which a musical score adds an emotional layer to the images of a film, thus contributing in a fundamental way to the storytelling. This has been explained brilliantly by Stewart Copeland in the second episode, aptly titled “Telling Tales,” of the documentary [28], in which Copeland discusses music in films with composer Danny Elfman:

    Copeland::

    Why do the directors need this? They’re telling a perfectly good story, with a perfectly terrifying antagonist, a handsome protagonist, a beautiful love interest. Why do they need music?

    Elfman::

    Because music does something they learned very early on, that the pictures couldn’t do.

    Copeland::

    Take the decidedly lukewarm chills of early horror movies, for example.

    Elfman::

    In the very first Frankenstein and the first Dracula, no music. All music was, in the first films, was opening and closing, like a play, and then they figured out a few years later, 1933 and 1935, “Why don’t we take it up a level?” If you put this dramatic music, it really raises the stakes.

    Copeland::

    As shown in in the pioneering movie King Kong.

    Elfman::

    And if you put something heartbreaking when, you know, your hero or heroine is going to die, it really raises the stakes. […] It goes straight to the heart.

    In addition to “Frankenstein” [29], “Dracula,” [30] and “King Kong” [31], Copeland and Elfman then also discuss on how Bernard Herrmann’s score punctuates and amplifies Alfred Hitchcock’s images in the movie “Vertigo.”

  6. 6.

    I have also some experience with this: in the early Noughties, I wrote a play about the French mathematician Évariste Galois, who was killed in a duel at age 20 in 1832 [33,34,35]. The Teatro Stabile di Genova, which produced the play, had the brilliant idea to schedule morning performances for middle and high school students, and I have been told by many of them that they had never thought that mathematics could be thrilling and moving.

  7. 7.

    That quote was inspired by the article “The Conscience of a Hacker” written by the real-life hacker “The Mentor” shortly after his arrest [44]. The article ends with the following words:

    This is our world now…the world of the electron and the switch, the beauty of the baud. We make use of a service already existing without paying for what could be dirt-cheap if it wasn’t run by profiteering gluttons, and you call us criminals. We explore…and you call us criminals. We seek after knowledge…and you call us criminals. We exist without skin color, without nationality, without religious bias…and you call us criminals. You build atomic bombs, you wage wars, you murder, cheat, and lie to us and try to make us believe it’s for our own good, yet we’re the criminals.

    Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like. My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive me for.

    I am a hacker, and this is my manifesto. You may stop this individual, but you can’t stop us all…after all, we’re all alike.

    There is no such thing as a professor of symbology in real life, but it is tightly connected to the actual discipline of semiotics, which in turn has been investigated also in the context of cryptography [88].

  10. 10.

    “Con Air,” “National Treasure,” “Windtalkers,” “Face/Off”, …, Nicolas Cage has starred in so many cybersecurity-related movies that he would deserve a dedicated paper, perhaps titled “Explaining Cybersecurity with Nicolas Cage” or even better “Nicolas Cage is the Center of the Cybersecurity Universe.” In fact, since writing the first draft of this chapter, I have published precisely such a paper [98].

    Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is an authentication solution that aims to augment the security of the basic username–password authentication by exploiting two or more authentication factors. In [101], MFA is for instance defined as:

    a procedure based on the use of two or more of the following elements—categorised as knowledge, ownership and inherence: (i) something only the user knows, e.g., static password, code, personal identification number; (ii) something only the user possesses, e.g., token, smart card, mobile phone; (iii) something the user is, e.g. a biometric characteristic, such as a fingerprint. In addition, the elements selected must be mutually independent […] at least one of the elements should be non-reusable and non-replicable.

    The underlying idea is that the more factors are used during the authentication process, the more confidence a service has that the user is correctly identified.

    Collegno is a small town in the North-West of Italy and the case is known in Italy more colloquially as the “Smemorato di Collegno,” i.e., the amnesiac of Collegno.
