AI governance frameworks increasingly emphasize fairness, transparency, accountability, and lifecycle risk management in high-stakes domains. However, many current approaches remain observational, relying on static metric reporting,…
Memory safety remains a critical and widely violated property in reality. Numerous defense techniques have been proposed and developed but most of them are not applied or enabled by default in production-ready environment due to their…
Security provisioning has become the most important design consideration for large-scale Internet of Things (IoT) systems due to their critical roles to support diverse vertical applications by connecting heterogenous devices, machines and…
It is well established that industrial control systems comprise the operational backbone of modern critical infrastructures, yet their increasing connectivity exposes them to cyber threats that are difficult to study and remedy safely under…
Formal verification and testing are complementary approaches which are used in the development process to verify the functional correctness of software. However, the correctness of software cannot ensure the safe operation of…
Security analysis is an essential activity in security engineering to identify potential system vulnerabilities and achieve security requirements in the early design phases. Due to the increasing complexity of modern systems, traditional…
Hardware vulnerabilities are generally considered more difficult to fix than software ones because they are persistent after fabrication. Thus, it is crucial to assess the security and fix the vulnerabilities at earlier design phases, such…
APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) or Web Services are the foundational building blocks that enable interconnected systems. However this proliferation of APIs has also introduced security challenges that require systematic and…
The ongoing trend to move industrial appliances from previously isolated networks to the Internet requires fundamental changes in security to uphold secure and safe operation. Consequently, to ensure end-to-end secure communication and…
We present two formal models for the OSPF routing protocol, designed for the model checker Uppaal. The first one is an optimised model of an existing model that allows to check larger network topologies. The second one is a specialised…
