Advanced software supply chain (SSC) attacks are increasingly runtime-only and leave fragmented evidence across hosts, services, and build/dependency layers, so any single telemetry stream is inherently insufficient to reconstruct full…
Edge computing addresses critical limitations of cloud computing such as high latency and network congestion by decentralizing processing from cloud to the edge. However, the need for software replication across heterogeneous edge devices…
Sequence models for binary analysis are bottlenecked by byte-level tokenization: raw bytes waste precious context window capacity for transformers and other neural network architectures, and many existing text-oriented tokenizers fail on…
Significant research efforts have been dedicated to designing cryptographic algorithms that are quantum-resistant. The motivation is clear: robust quantum computers, once available, will render current cryptographic standards vulnerable.…
Existing malware detectors on safety-critical devices have difficulties in runtime detection due to the performance overhead. In this paper, we introduce PROPEDEUTICA, a framework for efficient and effective real-time malware detection,…
Software vulnerabilities continue to grow in volume and remain difficult to detect in practice. Although learning-based vulnerability detection has progressed, existing benchmarks are largely function-centric and fail to capture realistic,…
Given a desired goal of testing the capabilities of mainstream antivirus software against evasive malicious payloads delivered via drive-by download, this work aims to extend the functionality of Metasploit--the penetration testing suite of…
Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Deployment (CD) are widely adopted in software engineering practice. In reality, the CI/CD pipeline execution is not yet reliably continuous because it is often interrupted by Docker build…
In this work, we propose a portable, Linux-based emulation framework to provide an ecosystem for hardware-software co-design of Domain-specific SoCs (DSSoCs) and enable their rapid evaluation during the pre-silicon design phase. This…
AI agents increasingly run untrusted code on developer machines: shell commands generated by language models, third-party scripts retrieved at runtime, and tool plugins of unknown provenance. Existing isolation mechanisms impose tradeoffs…
Honeypots are designed to trap the attacker with the purpose of investigating its malicious behavior. Owing to the increasing variety and sophistication of cyber attacks, how to capture high-quality attack data has become a challenge in the…
Single-address-space operating systems have well-known lightweightness benefits that result from their central design idea: the kernel and applications share a unique address space. This model makes these operating systems (OSes)…
Solving the software dependency issue under the HPC environment has always been a difficult task for both computing system administrators and application scientists. This work would like to tackle the issue by introducing the modern…
Reinforcement Learning (RL) algorithms exhibit high sample complexity, particularly when applied to Decentralized Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes (Dec-POMDPs). As a response, projects such as SampleFactory, EnvPool, Brax, and…
This research focuses on transforming CVEs to hands-on educational lab for cybersecurity training. The study shows the practical application of CVEs by developing containerized lab environments- Docker to simulate real-world vulnerabilities…
The increasing availability of cloud computing and scientific super computers brings great potential for making R accessible through public or shared resources. This allows us to efficiently run code requiring lots of cycles and memory, or…
In the existing software development ecosystem, security issues introduced by third-party code cannot be overlooked. Among these security concerns, memory access vulnerabilities stand out prominently, leading to risks such as the theft or…
The ever increasing popularity and availability of Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) had a stark influence on microarchitectural attack research in academia, as their strong attacker model both boosts existing attack vectors and…
Quantum computing simulators form the classical software foundation on which virtually all quantum algorithm research depends. We present Broken Quantum, the first comprehensive formal security audit of the open-source quantum computing…
Intra-session network coding is known to be vulnerable to pollution attacks. In this work, first, we introduce a novel homomorphic MAC scheme called SpaceMac, which allows an intermediate node to verify if its received packets belong to a…
