The Domain Name System (DNS) was created to resolve the IP addresses of the web servers to easily remembered names. When it was initially created, security was not a major concern; nowadays, this lack of inherent security and trust has…

IoT devices are known to be vulnerable to various cyber-attacks, such as data exfiltration and the execution of flooding attacks as part of a DDoS attack. When it comes to detecting such attacks using network traffic analysis, it has been…

Internet of things (IoT) has been playing an important role in many sectors, such as smart cities, smart agriculture, smart healthcare, and smart manufacturing. However, IoT devices are highly vulnerable to cyber-attacks, which may result…

Despite much progress being made in the field of object recognition with the advances of deep learning, there are still several factors negatively affecting the performance of deep learning models. Domain shift is one of these factors and…

IThe botnet is considered as a critical issue of the Internet due to its fast growing mechanism and affect. Recently, Botnets have utilized the DNS and query DNS server just like any legitimate hosts. In this case, it is difficult to…

This paper investigates the piracy problem of deep learning models. Designing and training a well-performing model is generally expensive. However, when releasing them, attackers may reverse engineer the models and pirate their design. This…

The demand of the Internet of Things (IoT) has witnessed exponential growth. These progresses are made possible by the technological advancements in artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and edge computing. However, these advancements…

We introduce a novel concept, called Name Confusion, and demonstrate how it can be employed to thwart multiple classes of code-reuse attacks. By building upon Name Confusion, we derive Phantom Name System (PNS): a security protocol that…

Improperly configured domain name system (DNS) servers are sometimes used as packet reflectors as part of a DoS or DDoS attack. Detecting packets created as a result of this activity is logically possible by monitoring the DNS request and…

Face Presentation Attack Detection (PAD) plays a pivotal role in securing face recognition systems against spoofing attacks. Although great progress has been made in designing face PAD methods, developing a model that can generalize well to…

The internationalized domain name (IDN) is a mechanism that enables us to use Unicode characters in domain names. The set of Unicode characters contains several pairs of characters that are visually identical with each other; e.g., the…

The static nature of current cyber systems has made them easy to be attacked and compromised. By constantly changing a system, Moving Target Defense (MTD) has provided a promising way to reduce or move the attack surface that is available…

Deep neural networks (DNNs) are vulnerable to backdoor attacks, where an attacker manipulates a small portion of the training data to implant hidden backdoors into the model. The compromised model behaves normally on clean samples but…

Domain Name System (DNS) is the backbone of the Internet. However, threat actors have abused the antiquated protocol to facilitate command-and-control (C2) actions, to tunnel, or to exfiltrate sensitive information in novel ways. The…

Deep neural networks (DNNs) are now the de facto choice for computer vision tasks such as image classification. However, their complexity and "black box" nature often renders the systems they're deployed in vulnerable to a range of security…

A safe and secure Domain Name System (DNS) is of paramount importance for the digital economy and society. Malicious activities on the DNS, generally referred to as "DNS abuse" are frequent and severe problems affecting online security and…

The automated and timely conversion of cybersecurity information from unstructured online sources, such as blogs and articles to more formal representations has become a necessity for many applications in the domain nowadays. Named Entity…

In recent years, malware with tunneling (or: covert channel) capabilities is on the rise. While malware research led to several methods and innovations, the detection and differentiation of malware solely based on its DNS tunneling features…

Software Defined Networking (SDN) enables flexible and scalable network control and management. However, it also introduces new vulnerabilities that can be exploited by attackers. In particular, low-rate and slow or stealthy…

Privacy leaks are an unfortunate and an integral part of the current Internet domain name resolution. Each DNS query generated by a user reveals -- to one or more DNS servers -- the origin and target of that query. Over time, a user's…
