Solid-State Drive (SSD) firmware manages complex internal states, including flash memory maintenance. Due to nondeterministic I/O operations, traditional testing methods struggle to rapidly achieve coverage of firmware code areas that…
As the capacity of Solid-State Drives (SSDs) is constantly being optimised and boosted with gradually reduced cost, the SSD cluster is now widely deployed as part of the hybrid storage system in various scenarios such as cloud computing and…
Protecting data from malicious computer users continues to grow in importance. Whether preventing unauthorized access to personal photographs, ensuring compliance with federal regulations, or ensuring the integrity of corporate secrets, all…
Generative foundation models like Stable Diffusion comprise a diverse spectrum of knowledge in computer vision with the potential for transfer learning, e.g., via generating data to train student models for downstream tasks. This could…
We propose a new method for compressing physics foundation models (PFMs) which is a new trend in AI for Science. While model compression is essential for reducing memory use and accelerating inference in large foundation models, it remains…
Digital forensic investigation is a complex and time-consuming activity in response to a cybersecurity incident or cybercrime to answer questions related to it. These typically are what happened, when, where, how, and who is responsible.…
Evaluating large language models (LLMs) is increasingly confounded by \emph{variant contamination}: the training corpus contains semantically equivalent yet lexically or syntactically altered versions of test items. Unlike verbatim leakage,…
Forensic science is usually taken to mean the application of a broad spectrum of scientific tools to answer questions of interest to the legal system. Despite such popular television series as CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and its…
Many emerging Web services, such as email, photo sharing, and web site archives, need to preserve large amounts of quickly-accessible data indefinitely into the future. In this paper, we make the case that these applications' demands on…
A digital forensic investigation aims to collect and analyse the evidence necessary to demonstrate a potential hypothesis of a digital crime. Despite the availability of several digital forensics tools, investigators still approach each…
STorage as a Service (STaaS) cloud services has been adopted by both individuals and businesses as a dominant technology worldwide. Similar to other technologies, this widely accepted service can be misused by criminals. Investigating cloud…
Fundamental processes in digital forensic investigation, such as disk imaging, were developed when digital investigation was relatively young. As digital forensic processes and procedures matured, these fundamental tools, that are the…
Temporal Forgery Localization (TFL) aims to precisely identify manipulated segments in video and audio, offering strong interpretability for security and forensics. While recent State Space Models (SSMs) show promise in precise temporal…
The Big Data trend is putting strain on modern storage systems, which have to support high-performance I/O accesses for the large quantities of data. With the prevalent Von Neumann computing architecture, this data is constantly moved back…
Event reconstruction is a fundamental part of the digital forensic process, helping to answer key questions like who, what, when, and how. A common way of accomplishing that is to use tools to create timelines, which are then analyzed.…
Data privacy is critical in instilling trust and empowering the societal pacts of modern technology-driven democracies. Unfortunately, it is under continuous attack by overreaching or outright oppressive governments, including some of the…
Deepfake detection remains highly challenging, particularly in cross-dataset scenarios and complex real-world settings. This challenge mainly arises because artifact patterns vary substantially across different forgery methods, whereas…
Solid-state storage architectures based on NAND or emerging memory devices (SSD), are fundamentally architected and optimized for both reliability and performance. Achieving these simultaneous goals requires co-design of memory components…
As consumers are increasingly engaged in social networking and E-commerce activities, businesses grow to rely on Big Data analytics for intelligence, and traditional IT infrastructures continue to migrate to the cloud and edge, these trends…
Storage devices based on flash memory have replaced hard disk drives (HDDs) due to their superior performance, increasing density, and lower power consumption. Unfortunately, flash memory is subject to challenging idiosyncrasies like…
