A Systematic Literature Review on the NIS2 Directive
arXiv:2412.08084v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The second network and information security (NIS2) directive was enacted in the European Union (EU) in late 2022. It deals particularly with European critical infrastructures, enlarging their scope substantially from an older directive that only considered the energy and transport sectors as critical. The directive's focus is on cyber security of critical infrastructures, although together with other new EU laws it expands to other security domains as well. Given the importance of the directive and most of all the importance of critical infrastructures, the paper presents a systematic literature review on academic research addressing the NIS2 directive either explicitly or implicitly. According to the review, existing research has often framed and discussed the directive with the EU's other cyber security laws. In addition, existing research has often operated in numerous contextual areas, including industrial control systems, telecommunications, the energy and water sectors, and infrastructures for information sharing and situational awareness. Despite the large scope of existing research, the review reveals noteworthy research gaps and worthwhile topics to examine in further research.
Acceleration AI Ethics and the Telus GenAI Conversational Agent
arXiv:2501.18038v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Acceleration ethics addresses the tension between innovation and safety in artificial intelligence. The acceleration argument is that risks raised by innovation should be answered with still more innovating. This paper summarizes the theoretical position, and then shows how acceleration ethics works in a real case. To begin, the paper summarizes acceleration ethics as composed of five elements: innovation solves innovation problems, innovation is intrinsically valuable, the unknown is encouraging, governance is decentralized, ethics is embedded. Subsequently, the paper illustrates the acceleration framework with a use-case, a generative artificial intelligence language tool developed by the Canadian telecommunications company Telus. While the purity of theoretical positions is blurred by real-world ambiguities, the Telus experience indicates that acceleration AI ethics is a way of maximizing social responsibility through innovation, as opposed to sacrificing social responsibility for innovation, or sacrificing innovation for social responsibility.

Understanding the "Airport" Censorship Circumvention Ecosystem in China
arXiv:2606.18427v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In China, a burgeoning underground market sells citizens subscription-based censorship circumvention proxies known as ''airports''. We present the first systematic study of this ecosystem, combining user surveys, social media analysis, and active network measurements. We find that airports are by far the most popular off-the-shelf censorship circumvention tool in China, used by over half of our 1,667~survey respondents, who cite their ease of use, performance, and access to geo-restricted services like ChatGPT and Netflix. By scanning the Internet and scraping Telegram announcement channels, we identify 3,431 active airports built on a handful of open-source toolkits. We subscribe to 35 airports and characterize their performance, which often surpasses direct connections through the Great Firewall due to a distinctive multi-hop architecture. However, airports also pose new challenges and security risks: they accept payment through commercial services like Alipay, suffer frequent government takedowns, and are difficult for clients to configure optimally. Many airports also deploy their own distinct censorship policies. Airports are far more widely used than other circumvention tools from the academic literature, but introduce new forms of fragility and control, offering both lessons and opportunities for future circumvention research.

From Automated to Autonomous: Hierarchical Agent-native Network Architecture (HANA)
arXiv:2605.20608v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Realizing Level 4/5 Autonomous Networks (AN) demands a shift from static automation to agent-native intelligence. Current operations, reliant on rigid scripts, lack the cognitive agency to handle off-nominal conditions. To address this, this letter proposes a hierarchical multi-agent reference architecture enabling high-level autonomy. The framework features a Dual-Driven Orchestrator that coordinates specialized Executive Agents, supported by a shared Public Memory for unified domain knowledge. A key innovation is the integration of agent self-awareness, which empowers the system to harmonize deliberative strategic governance with reflexive fault recovery. We instantiate and validate this architecture within a 5G Core environment. Case studies demonstrate that the system sustains critical throughput under congestion and reduces Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) by 86%, confirming its efficacy in unifying strategic planning with operational resilience.

Samanth Subramanian on the Undersea Cables That Keep the Internet Alive | Odd Lots
Underneath the world's oceans, miles and miles of fiber optic-cables send packets of information from one location to the next, serving as the backbone of the internet as we know it. This infrastructure is delicate, too: Memorably, a 2022 volcanic eruption cut off the island of Tonga from web access for an extended period of time. Samanth Subramanian is the author of The Web Beneath the Waves: The Fragile Cables that Connect Our World, a recent book that explains, in detail, that the Internet is, and has never been, truly weightless or wireless. In fact, the system in place right now is pretty old school and resembles the telegraph cable network of yore. We talk to Subramanian about the strange contradictions of the undersea cable system, how much basic marine geography — like the Strait of Hormuz or the Suez Canal — informs where cables are laid, and how hard it is protect this vulnerable and vital infrastructure.

Spatiotemporal Analysis of VIIRS Satellite Observations and Network Traffic During the 2025 Manitoba Wildfires
arXiv:2604.14392v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Climate change has intensified extreme weather and wildfire conditions globally. Canada experienced record-breaking wildfires in 2023 and 2025, burning millions of hectares and severely impacting the Prairie provinces, with Manitoba facing its worst season in 30 years. These events highlight the urgent need to understand and mitigate escalating fire risks. While existing research largely focuses on wildfire management approaches, few studies have explored the relationship between user network traffic and wildfire activity, despite the potential of such correlations to provide valuable spatiotemporal insights into wildfire dynamics. This paper investigates the relationship between wildfire intensity and network performance during the 2025 Manitoba wildfire season, using Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) satellite-derived Fire Radiative Power data and large-scale Speedtest measurements. We found statistically significant correlations between wildfire intensity and several network performance metrics in both the province-wide and region-wide case studies, as measured by Spearman's correlation coefficients ($\rho$) and corresponding p-values. Throughput-related metrics showed inverse correlations with wildfire intensity (e.g., download speed: $\rho = -0.214$, $p\_value = 0.004$), whereas latency-related metrics showed positive correlations (e.g., round-trip time latency: $\rho = 0.162$, $p\_value = 0.0308$). The findings suggest satellite fire indicators and network performance metrics together can reveal vulnerabilities during extreme environmental events and support diaster response and recovery efforts.
