In recent years, the spread of fake news has triggered a growing interest in Information Disorders (ID) on social media, a phenomenon that has become a focal point of research across fields ranging from complexity theory and computer…
Research challenges such as climate change and the search for habitable planets increasingly use academic and commercial computing resources distributed across different institutions and physical sites. Furthermore, such analyses often…
We present DISco, a storage and communication middleware designed to enable distributed and task-centric autonomic control of networks. DISco is designed to enable multi-agent identification of anomalous situations -- so-called "challenges"…
The recent introduction of entity-centric implicit network representations of unstructured text offers novel ways for exploring entity relations in document collections and streams efficiently and interactively. Here, we present TopExNet as…
In the context of the rapid dissemination of multimedia content, identifying disinformation on social media platforms such as TikTok represents a significant challenge. This study introduces a hybrid framework that combines the…
This paper introduces a lightweight and auditable method for asynchronous information exchange between distributed entities using Git as the coordination medium. The proposed approach replaces traditional APIs and message brokers with a…
In recent years, disinformation including fake news, has became a global phenomenon due to its explosive growth, particularly on social media. The wide spread of disinformation and fake news can cause detrimental societal effects. Despite…
Information diffusion across various new media platforms gradually influences perceptions, decisions, and social behaviors of individual users. In communication studies, the famous Five W's of Communication model (5W Model) has displayed…
User-generated textual contents on the Internet are often noisy, erroneous, and not in correct forms in grammar. In fact, some online users choose to express their opinions online through carefully perturbed texts, especially in…
This paper introduces \texttt{infotheory}: a package written in C++ and usable from Python and C++, for multivariate information theoretic analyses of discrete and continuous data. This package allows the user to study the relationship…
In recent years Industrial Control Systems (ICS) have been targeted increasingly by sophisticated cyberattacks. Improving ICS security has drawn significant attention in the literature that emphasises the importance of Cyber Threat…
Cyber information influence, or disinformation in general terms, is widely regarded as one of the biggest threats to social progress and government stability. From US presidential elections to European Union referendums and down to regional…
Monitoring the threat landscape to be aware of actual or potential attacks is of utmost importance to cybersecurity professionals. Information about cyber threats is typically distributed using natural language reports. Natural language…
Open, unclassified research on secure autonomy is constrained by limited access to operational platforms, contested communications infrastructure, and representative adversarial test conditions. This paper presents a threat-oriented digital…
Collaborative Intrusion Detection Systems (CIDS) are increasingly adopted to counter cyberattacks, as their collaborative nature enables them to adapt to diverse scenarios across heterogeneous environments. As distributed critical…
We describe the motivation and design for esINSIDER, an automated tool that detects potential persistent and insider threats in a network. esINSIDER aggregates clues from log data, over extended time periods, and proposes a small number of…
Extracting structured knowledge from unstructured data still faces practical limitations: entity and event extraction pipelines remain brittle, knowledge graph construction requires costly ontology engineering, and cross-domain…
Online misinformation poses an escalating threat, amplified by the Internet's open nature and increasingly capable LLMs that generate persuasive yet deceptive content. Existing misinformation detection methods typically focus on either…
When training a machine learning model, it is standard procedure for the researcher to have full knowledge of both the data and model. However, this engenders a lack of trust between data owners and data scientists. Data owners are…
We introduce HackerSignal, a benchmark for temporal out-of-distribution cyber threat intelligence (CTI) and cross-source CVE linkage. HackerSignal aggregates 7.45 million exact-deduplicated documents from 64 public forum/source identifiers…
