Support Vector Machines (SVMs) are among the most popular classification techniques adopted in security applications like malware detection, intrusion detection, and spam filtering. However, if SVMs are to be incorporated in real-world…
The scarcity of data and the high complexity of Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) attacks have created challenges in comprehending their behavior and hindered the exploration of effective detection techniques. To create an effective APT…
Drones, also known as unmanned air vehicles (UAVs), have revolutionised various industries, from farming to national security. (Wexler., Lesley. 2016) However, their broad use has revealed a severe weakness in cybersecurity. (Jean-Paul…
Currently, the TCP/IP model enables exploitation of vulnerabilities anonymously by unconditionally fulfilling every request for a connection into an application; the model only incorporates authentication within applications themselves,…
Local differential privacy is a widely studied restriction on distributed algorithms that collect aggregates about sensitive user data, and is now deployed in several large systems. We initiate a systematic study of a fundamental limitation…
Denial of Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial of Service of Service (DDoS) attacks are commonly used to disrupt network services. Attack techniques are always improving and due to the structure of the internet and properties of network…
Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) offer a protection layer for enhancing the security of websites. However, a significant security flaw named Absence of Domain Verification (DVA) has become emerging recently. Although this threat is…
Physical adversarial attacks are increasingly studied in settings that resemble deployed surveillance systems rather than isolated image benchmarks. In these settings, person detection, multi-object tracking, visible--infrared sensing, and…
DNS is a distributed, fault tolerant system that avoids a single point of failure. As such it is an integral part of the internet as we use it today and hence deemed a safe protocol which is let through firewalls and proxies with no or…
Malicious adversaries can attack machine learning models to infer sensitive information or damage the system by launching a series of evasion attacks. Although various work addresses privacy and security concerns, they focus on individual…
We present a comprehensive analysis of privacy attacks and countermeasures in data-driven systems. We systematically categorize attacks targeting three domains: anonymous data (linkage and structural attacks), statistical aggregates…
Complex-valued neural networks (CVNNs) are rising in popularity for all kinds of applications. To safely use CVNNs in practice, analyzing their robustness against outliers is crucial. One well known technique to understand the behavior of…
The most common attacks against web sessions are reviewed in this paper, for example, some attacks against web browsers' honest users attempting to create session with trusted web browser application legally. We have assessed with four…
Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) have found extensive applications in safety-critical artificial intelligence systems, such as autonomous driving and facial recognition systems. However, recent research has revealed their susceptibility to…
Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs), despite being energy-efficient when implemented on neuromorphic hardware and coupled with event-based Dynamic Vision Sensors (DVS), are vulnerable to security threats, such as adversarial attacks, i.e., small…
High-speed interconnects, such as NVLink, are integral to modern multi-GPU systems, acting as a vital link between CPUs and GPUs. This study highlights the vulnerability of multi-GPU systems to covert and side channel attacks due to…
Since security was not among the original design goals of the Domain Name System (herein called Vanilla DNS), many secure DNS schemes have been proposed to enhance the security and privacy of the DNS resolution process. Some proposed…
As more users adopt VPNs for a variety of reasons, it is important to develop empirical knowledge of their needs and mental models of what a VPN offers. Moreover, studying VPN users alone is not enough because, by using a VPN, a user…
Several randomization mechanisms for local differential privacy (LDP) (e.g., randomized response) are well-studied to improve the utility. However, recent studies show that LDP is generally vulnerable to malicious data providers in nature.…
The rapid development of information and network technologies motivates the emergence of various new computing paradigms, such as distributed computing, and edge computing. This also enables more and more network enterprises to provide…
