This paper utilizes the properties of type-based multiple access (TBMA) to investigate its effectiveness as a robust approach for over-the-air computation (AirComp) in the presence of Byzantine attacks, this is, adversarial strategies where…
Recent research on backdoor stealthiness focuses mainly on indistinguishable triggers in input space and inseparable backdoor representations in feature space, aiming to circumvent backdoor defenses that examine these respective spaces.…
Backdoor attacks, which maliciously control a well-trained model's outputs of the instances with specific triggers, are recently shown to be serious threats to the safety of reusing deep neural networks (DNNs). In this work, we propose an…
Open Radio Access Networks (O-RAN) enable the disaggregation of radio access functions and the deployment of control applications across different timescales. However, designing interoperable control schemes that jointly exploit long-term…
Remote memory access (RMA) is an emerging high-performance programming model that uses RDMA hardware directly. Yet, accessing remote memories cannot invoke activities at the target which complicates implementation and limits performance of…
This paper discusses the attack feasibility of Remote Adversarial Patch (RAP) targeting face detectors. The RAP that targets face detectors is similar to the RAP that targets general object detectors, but the former has multiple issues in…
Data-oriented attacks manipulate non-control data to alter a program's benign behavior without violating its control-flow integrity. It has been shown that such attacks can cause significant damage even in the presence of control-flow…
