Modifications of Markovski quasigroup based crypto-algorithm have been proposed. Some of these modifications are based on the systems of orthogonal n-ary groupoids. T-quasigroups based stream ciphers have been constructed.

We focus on the problem of botnet orchestration and discuss how attackers can leverage decentralised technologies to dynamically control botnets with the goal of having botnets that are resilient against hostile takeovers. We cover critical…

Backdoor attacks have been considered a severe security threat to deep learning. Such attacks can make models perform abnormally on inputs with predefined triggers and still retain state-of-the-art performance on clean data. While backdoor…

Critical infrastructure networks are a key ingredient of modern society. We discuss a general method to spot the critical components of a critical infrastructure network, i.e. the nodes and the links fundamental to the perfect functioning…

Today's success of state of the art methods for semantic segmentation is driven by large datasets. Data is considered an important asset that needs to be protected, as the collection and annotation of such datasets comes at significant…

In this paper, we propose a novel construction for a symmetric encryption scheme, referred as SEBQ which is based on the structure of quasigroup. We utilize concepts of chaining like mode of operation and present a block cipher with…

In this paper we discuss generic properties of "random subgroups" of a given group G. It turns out that in many groups G (even in most exotic of them) the random subgroups have a simple algebraic structure and they "sit" inside G in a very…

This paper attempts to strengthen the pursued research on social engineering (SE) threat identification, and control, by means of the author's illustrated classification, which includes attack types, determining the degree of possible harm…

Distributed computing seems to be a natural approach to overcome size limitations of quantum computers in terms of number of qubits. But one lacks an efficient distribution approach to deal systematically with potential algorithms. This…

Crypto-currencies are digital assets designed to work as a medium of exchange, e.g., Bitcoin, but they are susceptible to attacks (dishonest behavior of participants). A framework for the analysis of attacks in crypto-currencies requires…

The discrete logarithm in a finite group of large order has been widely applied in public key cryptosystem. In this paper, we will present a probabilistic algorithm for discrete logarithm.

An approximate but straight forward projection method to molecular many alpha-particle states is proposed and the overlap to the shell model space is determined. The resulting space is in accordance with the shell model, but still contains…

This document describes a dataset with diverse types of Denial of Service (DoS) attacks and Man-in-the-Middle (MiTM) attacks. The data is available at the following DOI 10.21227/mewp-g646. This document describes the data collection process…

A \emph{loop} $(B,\cdot)$ is a set $B$ together with a binary operation $\cdot$ such that (i) for each $a\in B$, the left and right translation mappings $L_{a}:B\to B: x \mapsto a\cdot x$ and $R_{a}:B\to B: x \mapsto x\cdot a$ are…

Recommender systems have become an integral part of online services to help users locate specific information in a sea of data. However, existing studies show that some recommender systems are vulnerable to poisoning attacks, particularly…

Highly privileged software, such as firmware, is an attractive target for attackers. Thus, BIOS vendors use cryptographic signatures to ensure firmware integrity at boot time. Nevertheless, such protection does not prevent an attacker from…

In this paper we explore several contexts where an adversary has an upper hand over the defender by using special hardware in an attack. These include password processing, hard-drive protection, cryptocurrency mining, resource sharing, code…

In cybersecurity it is often the case that malicious or anomalous activity can only be detected by combining many weak indicators of compromise, any one of which may not raise suspicion when taken alone. The path that such indicators take…

In this paper, we propose a class of false analog data injection attack that can misguide the system as if topology errors had occurred. By utilizing the measurement redundancy with respect to the state variables, the adversary who knows…

In a recent paper [arXiv:2009.00716], Rahman and Shpilrain proposed a new key-exchange protocol MAKE based on external semidirect product of groups. The purpose of this paper is to show that the key exchange protocol is insecure. We were…
