Though many deep learning (DL)-based vulnerability detection approaches have been proposed and indeed achieved remarkable performance, they still have limitations in the generalization as well as the practical usage. More precisely,…

A random vector functional link network (RVFL) is widely used as a universal approximator for classification and regression problems. The big advantage of RVFL is fast training without backpropagation. This is because the weights and biases…

Vulnerability fixes in open source software (OSS) usually follow the coordinated vulnerability disclosure model and are silently fixed. This delay can expose OSS users to risks as malicious parties might exploit the software before fixes…

The Software Naturalness hypothesis argues that programming languages can be understood through the same techniques used in natural language processing. We explore this hypothesis through the use of a pre-trained transformer-based language…

In an era of escalating cyber threats, malware poses significant risks to individuals and organizations, potentially leading to data breaches, system failures, and substantial financial losses. This study addresses the urgent need for…

Collecting relevant and high-quality data is integral to the development of effective Software Vulnerability (SV) prediction models. Most of the current SV datasets rely on SV-fixing commits to extract vulnerable functions and lines.…

Static analysis remains one of the most popular approaches for detecting and correcting poor or vulnerable program code. It involves the examination of code listings, test results, or other documentation to identify errors, violations of…

Despite their ability to aid developers in detecting potential defects early in the software development life cycle, static analysis tools often suffer from precision issues (i.e., high false positive rates of reported alarms). To improve…

Despite the remarkable performance of deep neural networks on various computer vision tasks, they are known to be susceptible to adversarial perturbations, which makes it challenging to deploy them in real-world safety-critical…

Large Vision Language Models (LVLMs) excel in various vision-language tasks. Yet, their robustness to visual variations in position, scale, orientation, and context that objects in natural scenes inevitably exhibit due to changes in…

A precise vulnerability discovery model (VDM) will provide a useful insight to assess software security, and could be a good prediction instrument for both software vendors and users to understand security trends and plan ahead patching…

This paper introduces and evaluates a novel training method for neural networks: Dual Variable Learning Rates (DVLR). Building on insights from behavioral psychology, the dual learning rates are used to emphasize correct and incorrect…

To build a secure communications software, Vulnerability Prediction Models (VPMs) are used to predict vulnerable software modules in the software system before software security testing. At present many software security metrics have been…

Various approaches are proposed to help under-resourced security researchers to detect and analyze software vulnerabilities. It is still incredibly time-consuming and labor-intensive for security researchers to fix vulnerabilities. The time…

Many studies have proposed machine-learning (ML) models for malware detection and classification, reporting an almost-perfect performance. However, they assemble ground-truth in different ways, use diverse static- and dynamic-analysis…

The current cybersecurity landscape is increasingly complex, with traditional Static Application Security Testing (SAST) tools struggling to capture complex and emerging vulnerabilities due to their reliance on rule-based matching.…

Software defect prediction is an essential task during the software development Lifecycle as it can help managers to identify the most defect-proneness modules. Thus, it can reduce the test cost and assign testing resources efficiently.…

This study compares sequential image classification methods based on recurrent neural networks. We describe methods based on recurrent neural networks such as Long-Short-Term memory(LSTM), bidirectional Long-Short-Term memory(BiLSTM)…

Data-driven models, especially deep learning classifiers often demonstrate great success on clean datasets. Yet, they remain vulnerable to common data distortions such as adversarial and common corruption perturbations. These perturbations…

Increased biosecurity and food safety requirements may increase demand for efficient traceability and identification systems of livestock in the supply chain. The advanced technologies of machine learning and computer vision have been…
