Web-based phishing attacks nowadays exploit popular cloud web hosting services and apps such as Google Sites and Typeform for hosting their attacks. Since these attacks originate from reputable domains and IP addresses of the cloud…
With the advent of modern technology, critical infrastructure, communications, and national security depend increasingly on space-based assets. These assets, along with associated assets like data relay systems and ground stations, are,…
Neural networks are seeing increased use in diverse Internet of Things (IoT) applications such as healthcare, smart homes and industrial monitoring. Their widespread use makes neural networks a lucrative target for theft. An attacker can…
We study online resource allocation in a cloud computing platform, through a posted pricing mechanism: The cloud provider publishes a unit price for each resource type, which may vary over time; upon arrival at the cloud system, a cloud…
Cloud applications expose - beside service endpoints - also potential or actual vulnerabilities. And attackers have several advantages on their side. They can select the weapons, the point of time and the point of attack. Very often cloud…
Today, cloud computing is an emerging way of computing in computer science. Cloud computing is a set of resources and services that are offered by the network or internet. Cloud computing extends various computing techniques like grid…
Public cloud service vendors provide a surplus of computing resources at a cheaper price as a spot instance. Despite the cheaper price, the spot instance can be forced to be shutdown at any moment whenever the surplus resources are in…
Resource autoscaling mechanisms in cloud environments depend on accurate performance metrics to make optimal provisioning decisions. When infrastructure faults including hardware malfunctions, network disruptions, and software anomalies…
In today society where we live in a world of constant connectivity, many people are now looking to cloud services in order to store their files so they can have access to them wherever they are. By using cloud services, users can access…
Federated Retrieval-Augmented Generation (FedRAG) is attractive for privacy-sensitive applications because raw data remain local. As a result, routing must rely on client-provided semantic profiles, creating a new opportunity for…
Cloud resource allocation has emerged as a major challenge in modern computing environments, with organizations struggling to manage complex, dynamic workloads while optimizing performance and cost efficiency. Traditional heuristic…
Phishing attacks on enterprise employees present one of the most costly and potent threats to organizations. We explore an understudied facet of enterprise phishing attacks: the email relay infrastructure behind successfully delivered…
Cross-app collaboration via inter-component communication is a fundamental mechanism on Android. Although it brings the benefits such as functionality reuse and data sharing, a threat called component hijacking is also introduced. By…
Harmful Internet hijacking incidents put in evidence how fragile the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is, which is used to exchange routing information between Autonomous Systems (ASes). As proved by recent research contributions, even S-BGP,…
Illicit crypto-mining leverages resources stolen from victims to mine cryptocurrencies on behalf of criminals. While recent works have analyzed one side of this threat, i.e.: web-browser cryptojacking, only commercial reports have partially…
With the rapid growth of mobile applications and cloud computing, mobile cloud computing has attracted great interest from both academia and industry. However, mobile cloud applications are facing security issues such as data integrity,…
Cloud computing is a web-based utility model that is becoming popular every day with the emergence of 4th Industrial Revolution, therefore, cybercrimes that affect web-based systems are also relevant to cloud computing. In order to conduct…
One of the main objectives of Cloud Providers (CP) is to guarantee the Service-Level Agreement (SLA) of customers while reducing operating costs. To achieve this goal, CPs have built large-scale datacenters. This leads, however, to…
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) applications are rapidly growing in today's world where they are continuously connected to the internet and process, store and exchange information among the devices and the…
Network infrastructure in a production environment is increasingly targeted by attackers every day. Many resources and services now rely on the internet, making network infrastructure one of the most critical parts to protect, as it hosts…
