The central security issue of outsourced 3D printing (aka AM: Additive Manufacturing), an industry that is expected to dominate manufacturing, is the protection of the digital design (containing the designers' model, which is their…
The main goal of design obfuscation schemes is to protect sensitive design details from untrusted parties in the VLSI supply chain, including but not limited to off-shore foundries and untrusted end users. In this work, we provide a…
Adversarial attacks pose a substantial threat to computer vision system security, but the social media industry constantly faces another form of "adversarial attack" in which the hackers attempt to upload inappropriate images and fool the…
Memory corruption vulnerabilities have been around for decades and rank among the most prevalent vulnerabilities in embedded systems. Yet this constrained environment poses unique design and implementation challenges that significantly…
Split learning (SL) enables collaborative training by partitioning a neural network across clients and a central server, but the cut-layer interface introduces a key challenge: high-dimensional activations incur substantial communication…
We give a comprehensive study of bin packing with conflicts (BPC). The input is a set $I$ of items, sizes $s:I \rightarrow [0,1]$, and a conflict graph $G = (I,E)$. The goal is to find a partition of $I$ into a minimum number of independent…
Network diversity has been widely recognized as an effective defense strategy to mitigate the spread of malware. Optimally diversifying network resources can improve the resilience of a network against malware propagation. This work…
