In this paper, we review the key figures of merit to assess the performance of advanced random access (RA) schemes exploiting physical layer coding, repetitions and collision resolution techniques. We then investigate RA modeling aspects…

We tackle the problem of a set of agents achieving resilient consensus in the presence of attacked agents. We present a discrete-time reputation-based consensus algorithm for synchronous and asynchronous networks by developing a local…

Several recently proposed censorship circumvention systems use encrypted network channels of popular applications to hide their communications. For example, a Tor pluggable transport called Snowflake uses the WebRTC data channel, while a…

Nowadays, locating software components responsible for observed failures is one of the most expensive and error-prone tasks in the software development process. To improve the debugging process efficiency, some effort was already made to…

In this letter, we consider a distributed submodular maximization problem for multi-robot systems when attacked by adversaries. One of the major challenges for multi-robot systems is to increase resilience against failures or attacks. This…

Cyber-attacks have been one of the deadliest attacks in today's world. One of them is DDoS (Distributed Denial of Services). It is a cyber-attack in which the attacker attacks and makes a network or a machine unavailable to its intended…

We study the robust principal component analysis (RPCA) problem in a distributed setting. The goal of RPCA is to find an underlying low-rank estimation for a raw data matrix when the data matrix is subject to the corruption of gross sparse…

Machine learning algorithms are effective in several applications, but they are not as much successful when applied to intrusion detection in cyber security. Due to the high sensitivity to their training data, cyber detectors based on…

Side-channel attacks pose significant challenges to the security of embedded systems, often allowing attackers to circumvent encryption algorithms in minutes compared to the trillions of years required for brute-force attacks. To mitigate…

One of the most effective threats that targeting cybercriminals to limit network performance is Denial of Service (DOS) attack. Thus, data security, completeness and efficiency could be greatly damaged by this type of attacks. This paper…

Threat modeling plays a critical role in the identification and mitigation of security risks; however, manual approaches are often labor intensive and prone to error. This paper investigates the automation of software threat modeling…

With the tremendous advances of the wireless devices technology, securing wireless sensor networks became more and more a vital but also a challenging task. In this paper we propose an integrated strategy that is meant to discover malicious…

In This paper we present a novel approach to spam filtering and demonstrate its applicability with respect to SMS messages. Our approach requires minimum features engineering and a small set of la- belled data samples. Features are…

A swarm intelligence-based optimization algorithm, named Duck Swarm Algorithm (DSA), is proposed in this study, which is inspired by the searching for food sources and foraging behaviors of the duck swarm. Two rules are modeled from the…

In order to gain access to networks, different types of intrusion attacks have been designed, and the attackers are working on improving them. Computer networks have become increasingly important in daily life due to the increasing reliance…

This paper introduces DDMIN-LOC, a technique that combines Delta Debugging Minimization (DDMIN) with Spectrum-Based Fault Localization (SBFL). It can be applied to programs taking string inputs, even when only a single failure-inducing…

Bots constitute a significant portion of Internet traffic and are a source of various issues across multiple domains. Modern bots often become indistinguishable from real users, as they employ similar methods to browse the web, including…

In the face of increasing cyber threats, particularly ransomware attacks, there is a pressing need for advanced detection and analysis systems that adapt to evolving malware behaviours. Throughout the literature, using machine learning (ML)…

Evaluating the safety of frontier AI systems is an increasingly important concern, helping to measure the capabilities of such models and identify risks before deployment. However, it has been recognised that if AI agents are aware that…

In this paper, we study the problem of localizing the sensors' positions in presence of denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. We consider a general attack model, in which the attacker action is only constrained through the frequency and duration…
