Escaping cyber attacks
… With an increasing prevalence of cyber attacks on both individuals and organizations, effective cybersecurity education has never been more necessary. By taking a mixed-methods approach, we conducted initial interviews, prototype interviews, research studies, surveys, and participant …

Patterns of heart attacks
Myocardial infarction is a derivative of heart disease that is a growing concern in the United States today. With heart disease becoming increasingly predominant, it is important to not only take steps toward preventing myocardial infarction, but also towards predicting future myocardial …

Attacks on multilinear maps
… the current multilinear map candidates and attacks against them. This involves analyzing the three proposals for multilinear maps which are based on ideal lattices, integers, and standard lattices. The attacks exploit the geometry of the lattices and linearity of the integers to break …

Intersection Attacks on Discrete Epochs
… of online users are vulnerable to intersection attacks. Researchers have evaluated the success of the state of the art intersection attack using a model of user messaging simulated from a generated social graph. This thesis compares the success of the state of the art intersection attack using a …

Preventing privacy attacks in IoT devices
… no universal scheme exists to prevent privacy attacks; thus, a variety of techniques need to be used. Some blockchain applications and transformations will be used to protect privacy in IoT devices. These algorithms that transform data or use blockchain to manage the data or the flow can …

Differentiate Metasploit Framework Attacks From Others
… in a virtual environment to discover whether attacks originated from Metasploit Framework are marked with unique patterns and features so that these special characteristics can help identify and block Metasploit Framework attacks. Inside this virtual environment, I will set up two virtual …

Detecting Inference Attacks Involving Sensor Data
The collection of personal information by organizations has become increasingly essential for social interactions. Nevertheless, according to the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), the organizations have to protect collected data. Access Control (AC) mechanisms are traditionally used to …

On Terrorist Attacks and Estimation Methods
… I propose a theoretical model of terrorist attacks and anestimation strategy which I compare to existing methods in the literature. The modeling approach was designed with terrorism in mind, but can be applied to other discrete dynamic decision processes with a latent component and a random …

A Framework to Detect Presentation Attacks
… systems can be subject to presentation attacks where an attacker obtains printed copy of the victim’s eye image and displays it in front of an authentication system to gain unauthorized access. Such attacks can be performed by displaying static eye images on mobile devices or iPad (known …

Protecting agents against malicious host attacks
… by analysis of its effectiveness under known attacks. Finally, an agent-based application, known as Secure Flight Finder Agent-based System (SecureFAS) is developed, in order to prove the function of the proposed approaches.

Generic attacks on iterated hash functions
We survery the existing generic attacks on hash functions based on the MerkleÂDamgard construction: that is, attacks in which the compression function is treated as a black box.

Denial of Service Attacks in MANETs
Denial of service (DoS) attacks are one problem threatening the networks in the Internet of Battle Things (IoBT) world. Since devices move often in this world, the type of network most commonly used in the IoBT world is the Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET), which dynamically re-configures itself to …

Oreo: Protecting ASLR Against Microarchitectural Attacks
… deployed mitigations against memory corruption attacks. ASLR randomly shuffles program virtual addresses to prevent attackers from knowing the location of program contents in memory. Microarchitectural side channels have been shown to defeat ASLR through various hardware mechanisms. We …

Defending against side-channel attacks : DynamoREA
… these side-channels, attackers can launch timing attacks by observing how long an application takes to execute and using this timing information to exfiltrate secrets from the application. Timing attacks are dangerous because they break mechanisms that are thought to be secure, such as sandboxing …
-
Fundamental limit of network flow attacks
… explore the fundamental limits of network flow attacks by investigating its feasibility region defined by the minimum resource required for a successful attack and designing optimal attacking strategies that achieve the feasibility region. First, we consider the case where the target network …

Data Centric Defenses for Privacy Attacks
… learning algorithms are highly susceptible to attacks trying to extract sensitive information about the data used in model training. These attacks called privacy attacks, exploit the model training process. Contemporary defense techniques make alterations to the training algorithm. Such …
