The Symmetries and Redundancies of Terror: Patterns in the Dark
Topic: War on Terrorism 9:03 pm EDT, Jul 30, 2007

Apply the principles of computer/network security. Can your democracy tolerate the false alarms that are the price for zero tolerance of missed detections?

Although much political capital has been made regarding the war on terrorism, and while appropriations have gotten underway, there has been a dearth of deep work on counter-terrorism, and despite massive efforts by the federal government, most cities and states do not have a robust response system.

In fact, most do not yet have a robust audit system with which to evaluate their vulnerabilities or their responses. At the federal level there remain many unresolved problems of coordination. One reason for this is the shift of much of federal spending on war-fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq. While this approach has drawn deep and lasting criticism, it is, in fact, in accord with many principles of both military and corporate strategy.

In the following paper we explore several models of terrorist networks and the implications of both the models and their substantive conclusions for combating terrorism.
