Guaranteeing the security of information transmitted through the Internet, against passive or active attacks, is a major concern. The discovery of new pseudo-random number generators with a strong level of security is a field of research in…
We show how an off-path (spoofing-only) attacker can perform cross-site scripting (XSS), cross-site request forgery (CSRF) and site spoofing/defacement attacks, without requiring vulnerabilities in either web-browser or server and…
This letter investigates covert routing communications in a heterogeneous network where a source transmits confidential data to a destination with the aid of relaying nodes where each transmitter judiciously chooses one modality among…
Covert communication has become an important area of research in computer security. It involves hiding specific information on a carrier for message transmission and is often used to transmit private data, military secrets, and even…
We study the problem of learning-based attacks in linear systems, where the communication channel between the controller and the plant can be hijacked by a malicious attacker. We assume the attacker learns the dynamics of the system from…
Deceptive path planning enables autonomous agents to obscure their true goals from observers by deviating from an expected optimal path. Prior work largely solves full-horizon, end-to-end optimization for single agents, which is expensive…
Motivated by the recent cyber attack on the Ukrainian power grid, we study cyber attacks on power grids that affect both the physical infrastructure and the data at the control center. In particular, we assume that an adversary attacks an…
In this paper, we study the vulnerability of anti-spoofing methods based on deep learning against adversarial perturbations. We first show that attacking a CNN-based anti-spoofing face authentication system turns out to be a difficult task.…
System operators responsible for protecting software applications remain hesitant to implement cyber deception technology, including methods that place traps to catch attackers, despite its proven benefits. Overcoming their concerns removes…
The Internet Threat Monitoring (ITM) is an efficient monitoring system used globally to measure, detect, characterize and track threats such as denial of service (DoS) and distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks and worms. . To block…
Federated recommendation (FedRec) can train personalized recommenders without collecting user data, but the decentralized nature makes it susceptible to poisoning attacks. Most previous studies focus on the targeted attack to promote…
Cross-chain technology enables interoperability among otherwise isolated blockchains, supporting interactions across heterogeneous networks. Similar to how multi-hop communication became fundamental in the evolution of the Internet, the…
A major challenge in cyber-threat analysis is combining information from different sources to find the person or the group responsible for the cyber-attack. It is one of the most important technical and policy challenges in cyber-security.…
In this survey, we first briefly review the current state of cyber attacks, highlighting significant recent changes in how and why such attacks are performed. We then investigate the mechanics of malware command and control (C2)…
In this paper, we propose a transmission scheme that achieves information theoretic security, without making assumptions on the eavesdropper's channel. This is achieved by a transmitter that deliberately introduces synchronization errors…
In this paper, we develop a trust based security protocol based on a cross layer approach which attains confidentiality and authentication of packets in both routing and link layers of MANETs. In the first phase of the protocol, we design a…
Contemporary web application architectures involve many layers of proxy services that process traffic. Due to the complexity of HTTP and vendor design decisions, these proxies sometimes process a given request in different ways. Attackers…
When conducting modern cybercrime investigations, evidence has often to be gathered from computer systems located at cloud-based data centres of hosting providers. In cases where the investigation cannot rely on the cooperation of the…
The identification of the exact path that packets are routed in the network is quite a challenge. This paper presents a novel, efficient traceback strategy in combination with a defence system against distributed denial of service (DDoS)…
Split inference (SI) enables users to access deep learning (DL) services without directly transmitting raw data. However, recent studies reveal that data reconstruction attacks (DRAs) can recover the original inputs from the smashed data…
