While most of current countermeasures fail for real or immediate deployment due to their requirement for modification of virtualization structure, we adopt dynamic migration, an inherent mechanism of the cloud platform, as a general defense against this kind of threats. To this end, we first set up a unified practical information leakage model which shows the factors affecting side channels and describes the way they influence the damage due to side-channel attacks. Since migration is adopted to limit the time duration of co-residency, we envision this defense as an optimization problem by setting up an Integer Linear Programming(ILP) to calculate optimal migration strategy, which is intractable due to high computational complexity. Therefore, we approximate the ILP with a baseline genetic algorithm, which is further improved for its optimality and scalability. Experimental results show that our migration-based defense can not only provide excellent security guarantees and affordable performance cost in both theoretical simulation and practical cloud environment, but also achieve better optimality and scalability than previous countermeasures.展开更多

Experimental results show that our migration-based defense can not only provide excellent security guarantees and affordable performance cost in both theoretical simulation and practical cloud environment, but also achieve better optimality and scalability than previous countermeasures.
文摘The number and creativity of side channel attacks have increased dramatically in recent years. Of particular interest are attacks leveraging power line communication to 1) gather information on power consumption from the victim and 2) exfiltrate data from compromised machines. Attack strategies of this nature on the greater power grid and building infrastructure levels have been shown to be a serious threat. This project further explores this concept of a novel attack vector by creating a new type of penetration testing tool: an USB power adapter capable of remote monitoring of device power consumption and communicating through powerline communications.
文摘Side-channel attacks based on supervised learning require that the attacker have complete control over the cryptographic device and obtain a large number of labeled power traces.However,in real life,this requirement is usually not met.In this paper,an attack algorithm based on collaborative learning is proposed.The algorithm only needs to use a small number of labeled power traces to cooperate with the unlabeled power trace to realize the attack to cryptographic device.By experimenting with the DPA contest V4 dataset,the results show that the algorithm can improve the accuracy by about 20%compared with the pure supervised learning in the case of using only 10 labeled power traces.

文摘Mobile devices within Fifth Generation(5G)networks,typically equipped with Android systems,serve as a bridge to connect digital gadgets such as global positioning system,mobile devices,and wireless routers,which are vital in facilitating end-user communication requirements.However,the security of Android systems has been challenged by the sensitive data involved,leading to vulnerabilities in mobile devices used in 5G networks.These vulnerabilities expose mobile devices to cyber-attacks,primarily resulting from security gaps.Zero-permission apps in Android can exploit these channels to access sensitive information,including user identities,login credentials,and geolocation data.One such attack leverages“zero-permission”sensors like accelerometers and gyroscopes,enabling attackers to gather information about the smartphone’s user.This underscores the importance of fortifying mobile devices against potential future attacks.Our research focuses on a new recurrent neural network prediction model,which has proved highly effective for detecting sidechannel attacks in mobile devices in 5G networks.We conducted state-of-the-art comparative studies to validate our experimental approach.The results demonstrate that even a small amount of training data can accurately recognize 37.5%of previously unseen user-typed words.Moreover,our tap detection mechanism achieves a 92%accuracy rate,a crucial factor for text inference.These findings have significant practical implications,as they reinforce mobile device security in 5G networks,enhancing user privacy,and data protection.
文摘In federated learning,backdoor attacks have become an important research topic with their wide application in processing sensitive datasets.Since federated learning detects or modifies local models through defense mechanisms during aggregation,it is difficult to conduct effective backdoor attacks.In addition,existing backdoor attack methods are faced with challenges,such as low backdoor accuracy,poor ability to evade anomaly detection,and unstable model training.To address these challenges,a method called adaptive simulation backdoor attack(ASBA)is proposed.Specifically,ASBA improves the stability of model training by manipulating the local training process and using an adaptive mechanism,the ability of the malicious model to evade anomaly detection by combing large simulation training and clipping,and the backdoor accuracy by introducing a stimulus model to amplify the impact of the backdoor in the global model.Extensive comparative experiments under five advanced defense scenarios show that ASBA can effectively evade anomaly detection and achieve high backdoor accuracy in the global model.Furthermore,it exhibits excellent stability and effectiveness after multiple rounds of attacks,outperforming state-of-the-art backdoor attack methods.

文摘Federated Learning(FL)protects data privacy through a distributed training mechanism,yet its decentralized nature also introduces new security vulnerabilities.Backdoor attacks inject malicious triggers into the global model through compromised updates,posing significant threats to model integrity and becoming a key focus in FL security.Existing backdoor attack methods typically embed triggers directly into original images and consider only data heterogeneity,resulting in limited stealth and adaptability.To address the heterogeneity of malicious client devices,this paper proposes a novel backdoor attack method named Capability-Adaptive Shadow Backdoor Attack(CASBA).By incorporating measurements of clients’computational and communication capabilities,CASBA employs a dynamic hierarchical attack strategy that adaptively aligns attack intensity with available resources.Furthermore,an improved deep convolutional generative adversarial network(DCGAN)is integrated into the attack pipeline to embed triggers without modifying original data,significantly enhancing stealthiness.Comparative experiments with Shadow Backdoor Attack(SBA)across multiple scenarios demonstrate that CASBA dynamically adjusts resource consumption based on device capabilities,reducing average memory usage per iteration by 5.8%.CASBA improves resource efficiency while keeping the drop in attack success rate within 3%.Additionally,the effectiveness of CASBA against three robust FL algorithms is also validated.

文摘The surge in smishing attacks underscores the urgent need for robust,real-time detection systems powered by advanced deep learning models.This paper introduces PhishNet,a novel ensemble learning framework that integrates transformer-based models(RoBERTa)and large language models(LLMs)(GPT-OSS 120B,LLaMA3.370B,and Qwen332B)to enhance smishing detection performance significantly.To mitigate class imbalance,we apply synthetic data augmentation using T5 and leverage various text preprocessing techniques.Our system employs a duallayer voting mechanism:weighted majority voting among LLMs and a final ensemble vote to classify messages as ham,spam,or smishing.Experimental results show an average accuracy improvement from 96%to 98.5%compared to the best standalone transformer,and from 93%to 98.5%when compared to LLMs across datasets.Furthermore,we present a real-time,user-friendly application to operationalize our detection model for practical use.PhishNet demonstrates superior scalability,usability,and detection accuracy,filling critical gaps in current smishing detection methodologies.
文摘Zero-click attacks represent an advanced cybersecurity threat,capable of compromising devices without user interaction.High-profile examples such as Pegasus,Simjacker,Bluebugging,and Bluesnarfing exploit hidden vulnerabilities in software and communication protocols to silently gain access,exfiltrate data,and enable long-term surveillance.Their stealth and ability to evade traditional defenses make detection and mitigation highly challenging.This paper addresses these threats by systematically mapping the tactics and techniques of zero-click attacks using the MITRE ATT&CK framework,a widely adopted standard for modeling adversarial behavior.Through this mapping,we categorize real-world attack vectors and better understand how such attacks operate across the cyber-kill chain.To support threat detection efforts,we propose an Active Learning-based method to efficiently label the Pegasus spyware dataset in alignment with the MITRE ATT&CK framework.This approach reduces the effort of manually annotating data while improving the quality of the labeled data,which is essential to train robust cybersecurity models.In addition,our analysis highlights the structured execution paths of zero-click attacks and reveals gaps in current defense strategies.The findings emphasize the importance of forward-looking strategies such as continuous surveillance,dynamic threat profiling,and security education.By bridging zero-click attack analysis with the MITRE ATT&CK framework and leveraging machine learning for dataset annotation,this work provides a foundation for more accurate threat detection and the development of more resilient and structured cybersecurity frameworks.

文摘Graph Neural Networks(GNNs)have proven highly effective for graph classification across diverse fields such as social networks,bioinformatics,and finance,due to their capability to learn complex graph structures.However,despite their success,GNNs remain vulnerable to adversarial attacks that can significantly degrade their classification accuracy.Existing adversarial attack strategies primarily rely on label information to guide the attacks,which limits their applicability in scenarios where such information is scarce or unavailable.This paper introduces an innovative unsupervised attack method for graph classification,which operates without relying on label information,thereby enhancing its applicability in a broad range of scenarios.Specifically,our method first leverages a graph contrastive learning loss to learn high-quality graph embeddings by comparing different stochastic augmented views of the graphs.To effectively perturb the graphs,we then introduce an implicit estimator that measures the impact of various modifications on graph structures.The proposed strategy identifies and flips edges with the top-K highest scores,determined by the estimator,to maximize the degradation of the model’s performance.In addition,to defend against such attack,we propose a lightweight regularization-based defense mechanism that is specifically tailored to mitigate the structural perturbations introduced by our attack strategy.It enhances model robustness by enforcing embedding consistency and edge-level smoothness during training.We conduct experiments on six public TU graph classification datasets:NCI1,NCI109,Mutagenicity,ENZYMES,COLLAB,and DBLP_v1,to evaluate the effectiveness of our attack and defense strategies.Under an attack budget of 3,the maximum reduction in model accuracy reaches 6.67%on the Graph Convolutional Network(GCN)and 11.67%on the Graph Attention Network(GAT)across different datasets,indicating that our unsupervised method induces degradation comparable to state-of-the-art supervised attacks.Meanwhile,our defense achieves the highest accuracy recovery of 3.89%(GCN)and 5.00%(GAT),demonstrating improved robustness against structural perturbations.
文摘In recent years,with the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence,object detection algorithms have made significant strides in accuracy and computational efficiency.Notably,research and applications of Anchor-Free models have opened new avenues for real-time target detection in optical remote sensing images(ORSIs).However,in the realmof adversarial attacks,developing adversarial techniques tailored to Anchor-Freemodels remains challenging.Adversarial examples generated based on Anchor-Based models often exhibit poor transferability to these new model architectures.Furthermore,the growing diversity of Anchor-Free models poses additional hurdles to achieving robust transferability of adversarial attacks.This study presents an improved cross-conv-block feature fusion You Only Look Once(YOLO)architecture,meticulously engineered to facilitate the extraction ofmore comprehensive semantic features during the backpropagation process.To address the asymmetry between densely distributed objects in ORSIs and the corresponding detector outputs,a novel dense bounding box attack strategy is proposed.This approach leverages dense target bounding boxes loss in the calculation of adversarial loss functions.Furthermore,by integrating translation-invariant(TI)and momentum-iteration(MI)adversarial methodologies,the proposed framework significantly improves the transferability of adversarial attacks.Experimental results demonstrate that our method achieves superior adversarial attack performance,with adversarial transferability rates(ATR)of 67.53%on the NWPU VHR-10 dataset and 90.71%on the HRSC2016 dataset.Compared to ensemble adversarial attack and cascaded adversarial attack approaches,our method generates adversarial examples in an average of 0.64 s,representing an approximately 14.5%improvement in efficiency under equivalent conditions.

文摘Large language models(LLMs)have revolutionized AI applications across diverse domains.However,their widespread deployment has introduced critical security vulnerabilities,particularly prompt injection attacks that manipulate model behavior through malicious instructions.Following Kitchenham’s guidelines,this systematic review synthesizes 128 peer-reviewed studies from 2022 to 2025 to provide a unified understanding of this rapidly evolving threat landscape.Our findings reveal a swift progression from simple direct injections to sophisticated multimodal attacks,achieving over 90%success rates against unprotected systems.In response,defense mechanisms show varying effectiveness:input preprocessing achieves 60%–80%detection rates and advanced architectural defenses demonstrate up to 95%protection against known patterns,though significant gaps persist against novel attack vectors.We identified 37 distinct defense approaches across three categories,but standardized evaluation frameworks remain limited.Our analysis attributes these vulnerabilities to fundamental LLM architectural limitations,such as the inability to distinguish instructions from data and attention mechanism vulnerabilities.This highlights critical research directions such as formal verification methods,standardized evaluation protocols,and architectural innovations for inherently secure LLM designs.

文摘Transformer-based models have significantly advanced binary code similarity detection(BCSD)by leveraging their semantic encoding capabilities for efficient function matching across diverse compilation settings.Although adversarial examples can strategically undermine the accuracy of BCSD models and protect critical code,existing techniques predominantly depend on inserting artificial instructions,which incur high computational costs and offer limited diversity of perturbations.To address these limitations,we propose AIMA,a novel gradient-guided assembly instruction relocation method.Our method decouples the detection model into tokenization,embedding,and encoding layers to enable efficient gradient computation.Since token IDs of instructions are discrete and nondifferentiable,we compute gradients in the continuous embedding space to evaluate the influence of each token.The most critical tokens are identified by calculating the L2 norm of their embedding gradients.We then establish a mapping between instructions and their corresponding tokens to aggregate token-level importance into instructionlevel significance.To maximize adversarial impact,a sliding window algorithm selects the most influential contiguous segments for relocation,ensuring optimal perturbation with minimal length.This approach efficiently locates critical code regions without expensive search operations.The selected segments are relocated outside their original function boundaries via a jump mechanism,which preserves runtime control flow and functionality while introducing“deletion”effects in the static instruction sequence.Extensive experiments show that AIMA reduces similarity scores by up to 35.8%in state-of-the-art BCSD models.When incorporated into training data,it also enhances model robustness,achieving a 5.9%improvement in AUROC.

文摘With the increasing emphasis on personal information protection,encryption through security protocols has emerged as a critical requirement in data transmission and reception processes.Nevertheless,IoT ecosystems comprise heterogeneous networks where outdated systems coexist with the latest devices,spanning a range of devices from non-encrypted ones to fully encrypted ones.Given the limited visibility into payloads in this context,this study investigates AI-based attack detection methods that leverage encrypted traffic metadata,eliminating the need for decryption and minimizing system performance degradation—especially in light of these heterogeneous devices.Using the UNSW-NB15 and CICIoT-2023 dataset,encrypted and unencrypted traffic were categorized according to security protocol,and AI-based intrusion detection experiments were conducted for each traffic type based on metadata.To mitigate the problem of class imbalance,eight different data sampling techniques were applied.The effectiveness of these sampling techniques was then comparatively analyzed using two ensemble models and three Deep Learning(DL)models from various perspectives.The experimental results confirmed that metadata-based attack detection is feasible using only encrypted traffic.In the UNSW-NB15 dataset,the f1-score of encrypted traffic was approximately 0.98,which is 4.3%higher than that of unencrypted traffic(approximately 0.94).In addition,analysis of the encrypted traffic in the CICIoT-2023 dataset using the same method showed a significantly lower f1-score of roughly 0.43,indicating that the quality of the dataset and the preprocessing approach have a substantial impact on detection performance.Furthermore,when data sampling techniques were applied to encrypted traffic,the recall in the UNSWNB15(Encrypted)dataset improved by up to 23.0%,and in the CICIoT-2023(Encrypted)dataset by 20.26%,showing a similar level of improvement.Notably,in CICIoT-2023,f1-score and Receiver Operation Characteristic-Area Under the Curve(ROC-AUC)increased by 59.0%and 55.94%,respectively.These results suggest that data sampling can have a positive effect even in encrypted environments.However,the extent of the improvement may vary depending on data quality,model architecture,and sampling strategy.

文摘Load frequency control(LFC)is a critical function to balance the power consumption and generation.Thegrid frequency is a crucial indicator for maintaining balance.However,the widely used information and communication infrastructure for LFC increases the risk of being attacked by malicious actors.The dynamic load altering attack(DLAA)is a typical attack that can destabilize the power system,causing the grid frequency to deviate fromits nominal value.Therefore,in this paper,we mathematically analyze the impact of DLAA on the stability of the grid frequency and propose the network parameter regulation(NPR)to mitigate the impact.To begin with,the dynamic LFC model is constructed by highlighting the importance of the network parameter.Then,we model the DLAA and analyze its impact on LFC using the theory of second-order dynamic systems.Finally,we model the NPR and prove its effect in mitigating the DLAA.Besides,we construct a least-effort NPR considering its infrastructure cost and aim to reduce the operation cost.Finally,we carry out extensive simulations to demonstrate the impact of the DLAA and evaluate the mitigation performance of NPR.The proposed cost-benefit NPR approach can not only mitigate the impact of DLAA with 100%and also save 41.18$/MWh in terms of the operation cost.
