The widespread use of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) that are consisted of resource-constrained sensor nodes in communication with gateways in open-space environments and industries has highlighted the need for a secure yet fast…
Lack of experience, inadequate documentation, and sub-optimal API design frequently cause developers to make mistakes when re-using third-party implementations. Such API misuses can result in unintended behavior, performance losses, or…
In software development, it is common for programmers to copy-paste or port code snippets and then adapt them to their use case. This scenario motivates the code adaptation task -- a variant of program repair which aims to adapt variable…
Users around the world rely on software-intensive systems in their day-to-day activities. These systems regularly contain bugs and security vulnerabilities. To facilitate bug fixing, data-driven models of automatic program repair use pairs…
With the evolution of 6G, semantic communication has emerged as a promising paradigm by prioritizing the delivery of task-relevant meaning over strict bit-level correctness. However, existing transport mechanisms still rely on explicit port…
Source code similarity are increasingly used in application development to identify clones, isolate bugs, and find copy-rights violations. Similar code fragments can be very problematic due to the fact that errors in the original code must…
We investigate the problem of maintaining an encoded distributed storage system when some nodes contain adversarial errors. Using the error-correction capabilities that are built into the existing redundancy of the system, we propose a…
The way developers collaborate inside and particularly across teams often escapes management's attention, despite a formal organization with designated teams being defined. Observability of the actual, organically formed engineering…
Open-source software (OSS) dependencies are a dominant component of modern software code bases. Using proven and well-tested OSS components lets developers reduce development time and cost while improving quality. However, heavy reliance on…
This paper proposes a generic approach for providing enhanced security to communication systems which encode their data for reliability before encrypting it through a stream cipher for security. We call this counter-intuitive technique the…
To implement important quality attributes of software such as architectural security tactics, developers incorporate API of software frameworks, as building blocks, to avoid re-inventing the wheel and improve their productivity. However,…
Low-code development frameworks for IoT platforms offer a simple drag-and-drop mechanism to create applications for the billions of existing IoT devices without the need for extensive programming knowledge. The security of such software is…
An infrastructure network is a self-organizing network which uses Access Point (AP) of wireless links that connecting one node with another. These nodes can communicate without using ad hoc, instead these nodes form an arbitrary topology…
Code retrieval helps developers reuse the code snippet in the open-source projects. Given a natural language description, code retrieval aims to search for the most relevant code among a set of code. Existing state-of-the-art approaches…
Binary code similarity comparison is a methodology for identifying similar or identical code fragments in binary programs. It is indispensable in fields of software engineering and security, which has many important applications (e.g.,…
Source code vulnerability detection aims to identify inherent vulnerabilities to safeguard software systems from potential attacks. Many prior studies overlook diverse vulnerability characteristics, simplifying the problem into a binary…
Industrial cyber-infrastructure is normally a multilayered architecture. The purpose of the layered architecture is to hide complexity and allow independent evolution of the layers. In this paper, we argue that this traditional strict…
In the paradigm of network coding, the information-theoretic security problem is encountered in the presence of a wiretapper, who has capability of accessing an unknown channel-subset in communication networks. In order to combat this…
The amount of digital data is rapidly growing. There is an increasing use of a wide range of computer systems, from mobile devices to large-scale data centers, and important for reliable operation of all computer systems is mitigating the…
Network intrusion detection systems play a critical role in protecting the information infrastructure of an organization. Due to the sophistication and complexity of techniques used for the analysis they are commonly based on…
