Adversarial attacks significantly threaten the robustness of deep neural networks (DNNs). Despite the multiple defensive methods employed, they are nevertheless vulnerable to poison attacks, where attackers meddle with the initial training…
Code reuse attack (CRA) is a powerful attack that reuses existing codes to hijack the program control flow. Control flow integrity (CFI) is one of the most popular mechanisms to prevent against CRAs. However, current CFI techniques are…
In this paper, we introduce a novel technique based on the Secure Selective Convolutional (SSC) techniques in the training loop that increases the robustness of a given DNN by allowing it to learn the data distribution based on the…
Design and manufacturing of integrated circuits predominantly use a globally distributed semiconductor supply chain involving diverse entities. The modern semiconductor supply chain has been designed to boost production efficiency, but is…

This paper proposes to use a frequency based cache admission policy in order to boost the effectiveness of caches subject to skewed access distributions. Given a newly accessed item and an eviction candidate from the cache, our scheme…
This study introduces ROFBS$\alpha$, a new defense architecture that addresses delays in detection in ransomware detectors based on machine learning. It builds on our earlier Real Time Open File Backup System, ROFBS, by adopting an…
Logic Locking is a well-accepted protection technique to enable trust in the outsourced design and fabrication processes of integrated circuits (ICs) where the original design is modified by incorporating additional key gates in the…
Hashing has been widely used for large-scale search due to its low storage cost and fast query speed. By using supervised information, supervised hashing can significantly outperform unsupervised hashing. Recently, discrete supervised…
CXL (Compute Express Link) enables multiple hosts to share byte-addressable memory with hardware cache coherence, but no existing filesystem exploits this for lock-free multi-host coordination. We present DaxFS, a Linux filesystem for CXL…
Deep neural networks (DNNs) are well known to be vulnerable to adversarial examples (AEs). In previous studies, the use of models encrypted with a secret key was demonstrated to be robust against white-box attacks, but not against black-box…
The last level cache is vulnerable to timing based side channel attacks because it is shared by the attacker and the victim processes even if they are located on different cores. These timing attacks evict the victim cache lines using small…
At SAC 2013, Berger et al. first proposed the Extended Generalized Feistel Networks (EGFN) structure for the design of block ciphers with efficient diffusion. Later, based on the Type-2 EGFN, they instantiated a new lightweight block cipher…
Minwise hashing is a fundamental and one of the most successful hashing algorithm in the literature. Recent advances based on the idea of densification~\cite{Proc:OneHashLSH_ICML14,Proc:Shrivastava_UAI14} have shown that it is possible to…
The run-time electromagnetic (EM) emanation of microprocessors presents a side-channel that leaks the confidentiality of the applications running on them. Many recent works have demonstrated successful attacks leveraging such side-channels…
