In this paper, we propose a new type of side channel which is based on the ambient-light sensor employed in today's mobile devices. The pervasive usage of mobile devices, i.e., smartphones and tablet computers and their vast amount of…
Semantic leakage is a phenomenon recently introduced by Gonen et al. (2024). It refers to a situation in which associations learnt from the training data emerge in language model generations in an unexpected and sometimes undesired way.…
In the past decade, the cyber-crime related to mobile devices has increased. Mobile devices, especially the ones running on Android operating system are particularly interesting to malware creators, as the users often keep the biggest…
The increasing volume of traffic (especially from IoT devices) is posing a challenge to the current anomaly detection systems. Existing systems are forced to take the support of the control plane for a more thorough and accurate detection…
The IoT (Internet of Things) technology has been widely adopted in recent years and has profoundly changed the people's daily lives. However, in the meantime, such a fast-growing technology has also introduced new privacy issues, which need…
Lateral movement is a crucial component of advanced persistent threat (APT) attacks in networks. Attackers exploit security vulnerabilities in internal networks or IoT devices, expanding their control after initial infiltration to steal…
Semantic communication enhances transmission efficiency by conveying semantic information rather than raw input symbol sequences. Task-oriented semantic communication is a variant that tries to retains only task-specific information, thus…
Mobile applications rely on complex backends that introduce significant security risks, yet developers often lack the tools to assess these risks effectively. This paper presents AndroScanner, an automated pipeline for detecting…
Side-channel attacks that leak sensitive information through a computing device's interaction with its physical environment have proven to be a severe threat to devices' security, particularly when adversaries have unfettered physical…
